Nonlinear quantization can also be accomplished by passing the signal through a compressor circuit, which amplifies the signals weak components and attenuates its strong components.
Assign points to a quantization level and reconstruct image. In a pcm stream, the amplitude of the analog signal is sampled regularly at uniform intervals, and each sample is quantized to the nearest value within a range of digital steps.
