(1) The division of a range of values into a single number, code or classification. For example, class A is 0 to 999, class B is 1000 to 9999 and class C is 10000 and above.
(2) In analog to digital conversion, the assignment of a number to the amplitude of a wave. The larger the range of numbers, the finer the increments can be measured, and the more the digital sample represents the analog signal. See sampling and quantization error.

- Compress Compound Images in H.264/MPEG-4 AVC by Fully Exploiting Spatial Correlation
- Compound images consist of text, graphics and natural images, which present strong anisotropic features. It makes existing image coding standards inefficient on compressing them. To solve the problem, this paper proposes a novel coding scheme based on the H.264 intra-frame coding. Two new intra modes are proposed to better exploit...
