kvantiseerida

"Kvantiseerida" is an Estonian verb that translates to "to quantize" or "to quantize" in English. It refers to the process of converting a continuous signal or value into discrete values. This process is fundamental in digital signal processing and data compression.

In digital signal processing, kvantiseerida involves sampling an analog signal at regular intervals and then rounding these samples to the nearest value in a finite set of discrete levels. This discretization is necessary for digital representation and storage of analog signals.

In data compression, kvantiseerida is used to reduce the amount of data by approximating values. For example, in image compression, pixel values are quantized to reduce the number of bits required to represent each pixel. This process introduces a loss of information, but it can significantly reduce the file size.

The term kvantiseerida is also used in the context of quantization noise, which refers to the error introduced by the quantization process. This noise can affect the quality of the reconstructed signal or data.

Kvantiseerida is a crucial concept in various fields, including telecommunications, audio processing, and image processing. It enables the efficient storage, transmission, and manipulation of digital data.
