Quantization

Quantization is the process of constraining an input from a continuous or otherwise large set of values (such as the real numbers) to a discrete set (such as the integers). The term quantization may refer to:

Signal processing

 * Quantization (signal processing)
 * Quantization (image processing)
 * Color quantization
 * Vector quantization
 * Quantization (music)

Physics

 * Quantization (physics)
 * Canonical quantization
 * Geometric quantization


 * Discrete spectrum, or otherwise discrete quantity
 * Spatial quantization
 * Charge quantization

Computing

 * The process of making the signal discrete in amplitude by approximating the sampled signal to the nearest pre-defined level is called as quantization

Linguistics

 * Quantization (linguistics)
