B) DCT
C) quantization
D) vectorization

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The blocking process in JPEG encoding involves dividing the original image into smaller, more manageable blocks (usually 8x8 pixels), where each pixel within these blocks is then assigned a specific value. This step is crucial for the subsequent stages of JPEG compression, such as the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) and quantization, to be more effective.
