| Quantization is the process of mapping a continuous value onto one of a number of discrete values. For example, in image processing this might apply to the mapping of some continuous pixel intensity onto an integer in the range 0-255. The term can also apply to the display of a vector on a raster screen as a number of set pixels. | |||||
