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

Famous quotes containing the word images:

    You may read any quantity of books, and you may almost as ignorant as you were at starting, if you don’t have, at the back of your minds, the change for words in definite images which can only be acquired through the operation of your observing faculties on the phenomena of nature.
    Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    no images of pastoral will,
    But fear, thirst, hunger, and huddled chill.
    James Vincent Cunningham (1911–1985)

    And images of self-confusednesses
    Which hurt imaginations only see—
    And from this nothing seen, tells news of devils,
    Which but expressions be of inward evils.
    Fulke Greville (1554–1628)
