Signal processingin computer science, quantization is the process of splitting the set of continuous or discrete values into the finite number of intervals. The quantization noise power in the signal band is 4 times smaller. Rounding and truncation are typical examples of quantization processes. 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. When we want to represent such a sinosoid in the digital domain, we have to do two things.

Quantization image using matlab signal processing stack. A common use of quantization is in the conversion of a discrete signal a sampled continuous signal into a digital signal by quantizing. Dither is an intentionally applied form of noise used to randomize quantization error, preventing largescale patterns such as color banding in images. To make the numbers easier, we will assume that the voltage can vary from 0 to 4.
