In effect, scalar quantization digitizes an analog signal. Quantization is representing the sampled values of the amplitude by a finite set of levels, which means converting a continuousamplitude sample into a discretetime signal.

Sampling converts a voltage signal function of time into a discretetime signal sequence of real numbers. Quantization is done by replacing each value of an analog signal xt by the value of the nearest quantization level.

Signal processingin computer science, quantization is the process of splitting the set of continuous or discrete values into the finite number of intervals. Quantization, signal article about quantization, signal. Signal processing techniques can be used to improve transmission, storage efficiency and subjective quality and to also emphasize or detect components of interest in a measured signal. In the field of image processing, a common problem is determining how to display a color image on a device that can only display a limited number of colors without sacrificing much image quality. To exemplify this operation, lets simulate an unipolar adc analog to digital converter having the technical specifications. Quantization, in mathematics and digital signal processing, is the process of mapping input values from a large set to output values in a smaller set, often with a finite number of elements. When we want to represent such a sinosoid in the digital domain, we have to do two things. When the number of discrete symbols in a given stream is reduced, the stream becomes more compressible.
