    One example is the artifacts seen in JPEG and MPEG compression algorithms that produce compression artifacts. Quantization: Digital imprecision generated in the process of converting analog information into digital space, is due to the limited granularity of digital numbering space. In computer graphics, quantization is seen as pixelation.

    This is an exaggerated example of a 3D object's geometrically being reduced using a level of detail technique. LOD0 is the highest detail version of the object and each subsequent LOD reduces the quality of the object. A change without intermediate steps from LOD1 to LOD2 will be obvious to the viewer.
