Images


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:

    “A child’s self-image is more like a scrapbook than a single snapshot. As the child matures, the number and variety of images in that scrapbook may be far more important than any individual picture pasted inside it.”
    —Lawrence Kutner (20th century)

    “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)

    “It is not the literal past, the “facts” of history, that shape us, but images of the past embodied in language.”
    —Brian Friel (b. 1929)
