When performing block-based coding for quantization, as in JPEG-compressed images, several types of artifacts can appear.

  • Ringing
  • Contouring
  • Posterizing
  • Staircase noise (aliasing) along curving edges
  • Blockiness in "busy" regions (sometimes called quilting or checkerboarding)

Famous quotes containing the word images:

    “Disappointment, when it involves neither shame nor loss, is as good as success; for it supplies as many images to the mind, and as many topics to the tongue.”
    —Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    “A daydream is a meal at which images are eaten. Some of us are gourmets, some gourmands, and a good many take their images precooked out of a can and swallow them down whole, absent-mindedly and with little relish.”
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)

    “I tell it stories now and then
    and feed it images like honey.
    I will not speculate today
    with poems that think they’re money.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
