S3 Texture Compression (S3TC) (sometimes also called DXTn, DXTC, or BCn) is a group of related lossy texture compression algorithms originally developed by Iourcha et al. of S3 Graphics, Ltd. [1][2] for use in their Savage 3D computer graphics accelerator. The method of compression is strikingly similar to the previously published Color Cell ...
Texture mapping. Mapping a two-dimensional texture onto a 3D model. 1: 3D model without textures. 2: Same model with textures. Texture mapping[1][2][3] is a method for mapping a texture on a computer-generated graphic. "Texture" in this context can be high frequency detail, surface texture, or color.
Given the above, most texture compression algorithms involve some form of fixed-rate lossy vector quantization of small fixed-size blocks of pixels into small fixed-size blocks of coding bits, sometimes with additional extra pre-processing and post-processing steps. Block Truncation Coding is a very simple example of this family of algorithms.
