quantizationbased
quantizationbased is an adjective describing methods, systems, or analyses that rely on quantization, the process of mapping a continuous range of values to a finite set of discrete levels. In digital signal processing and data compression, quantization-based approaches convert analog or high-precision numerical data into a limited set of representable values, enabling storage, transmission, and efficient computation.
Core concepts include the quantization step size (or resolution), the number of levels, and the resulting quantization
Applications span digital communication, audio and image/video encoding, and control systems. Uniform scalar quantization is used
In machine learning and edge computing, quantization-based methods increasingly refer to quantization of model weights and
Overall, quantizationbased approaches are characterized by discretizing continuous quantities, balancing precision, resource use, and performance across
