A visual anomaly created when a system is not able to keep up with fast action or complex scenes in a video image.

An unnatural effect not present in the original video or audio produced by an external agent or action. Artifacts can be caused by many factors, including digital compression, film-to-video transfer, transmission errors, data readout errors, electrical interference, analog signal noise, and analog signal crosstalk. Most artifacts attributed to the digital compression of DVD are in fact from other sources. Digital compression artifacts will always occur in the same place and in the same way. Possible MPEG artifacts are mosquitoes, blocking, and video noise.

A digital defect such as noise or an unwanted pattern that can be caused either by an image capture or processing problem or by higher level of compress

Something in a video picture that was not originally there. For example, on some DVDs you may see "pixelization," or computerized blocks of color or black space. This is a result of poor DVD mastering, poor compression or if your player or TV has been set wrong. Consult your equipment manuals to remedy the latter.

Image degradation and color defect.

A feature which appears in an image which is not present in the imaged object. [ Chapter 11

An abnormality in a video image resulting in a temporary, visual distortion. Also known as "pixelation" since the individual pixels can be briefly seen.

A visible defect in an image, usually caused by limitations in the input or output process (hardware or software).

An abnormality in an image resulting in distortion and interference.

An undesirable erroneous pixel value in an image.

A visual imperfection in an encoded video clip. Too many artifacts can make the video look blocky.

(1) (n.) A visible error or oddity in a displayed image. Aliasing, for instance, is an artifact that results from producing images on a raster grid.(2) (n.) An audible error or oddity in a reproduced sound that results from the digital sampling or compression of the sound.

An artifact is any unintentional and undesirable element found in the image of a video game. Artifacts may include a flickering effect, pixels colored incorrectly, image ghosting (where a previous image is still visible in later screens), blurring, or gaps in the processing of images. Artifacts may be caused by overclocking the system (especially the graphics processor), unstable or incorrect drivers, component overheating, and other hardware or software errors.

Failure in a digital signal evolving from compression or digitalization. Visible as image errors, aliasing, color blocks or color flickering, or in sound signals ambient noise such as chirping and clicking.

refers to a distortion of the image as a result of image compression or interpolation. Artifacts can be seen as light halos around dark areas of an image or as blockiness of a highlight area of an image.

A video defect that occurs due to the digital conversion and/or compression process. Artifacts can be caused by video compression, transfers, data errors, and analog signal noise.

An artifact is a part of you picture that does not look as it should appear. There are many things that can cause artifacts on a display, too many to get into detail here. Some different types of artifacts might be a stuck pixel, ghosting problems, motion artifacts, solarization, edge enhancements, as well as much more.

Unwanted visual anomalies or defects generated by an input or output device, or by a software operation, that degrade image quality.

Visible image destruction introduced by various means, such as employing some sort of lossy type of compression like JPG, electrical noise from a camera, or any of a number of physical deficiencies that can mare an image

Defect commonly occurring in digital video resembling pixelation of the video image.

A visual defect in an image caused by limitations or malfunction of imaging equipment.

Any missing, incomplete or extraneous pixel data in an image caused by data conversion. The most common form of data conversion that can create artifacts is lossy file compression, such as JPEG. In simple terms, lossy file compression discards pixels when creating or saving a file. When the file is opened for processing, the algorithm works in reverse and restores the discarded data. This delete/recreate process can lead to an image having superfluous pixel data, known as artifacts. Whereas noise is created during signal conversion, artifacts are created during data conversion.

Visible degradations of an image resulting from any of a variety of processes. In digital video, artifacts usually result from color compression, and are most noticeable around sharply contrasting color boundaries such as black next to white.

An unwanted distortion of the video signal, visible on the screen.

Distortion that occurs in an audio or video file that has been compressed with a codec that was not present in the original uncompressed source.

An artifact is a part of you picture that does not look as it should appear. Unwanted visible effects in the picture created by disturbances in the transmission or image processing. There are many things that can cause artifacts on a display. Some different types of artifacts might be a stuck pixel, ghosting problems, motion artifacts, solarization, edge enhancements, 'edge crawl' or 'hanging dots' in analog pictures, or 'pixelation' in digital pictures as well as too many to get into detail here.

Colour faults or line faults that visibly impact the image negatively. Any visible degradation of an image caused by scanning, editing or compressing the image. Often artifacts are regular or repeating, rather than random.

In video systems, an unnatural or artificial effect that occurs when the system reproduces an image; examples are aliasing, pixellation, and contouring.

A defect or distortion of the image, introduced along the sequence from origination and image capture to final display

An undesirable degradation of an electronic image. Usually occurs during the electronic capture, manipulation, or output of an image.

Misinterpreted information from a JPEG or compressed image. Colour faults or line faults that visibly impact the image negatively.

1. An artificial structure, form or shape, created by accident or on purpose. 2. Distortion caused by a limitation or malfunction in graphics or sound hardware or software. Can also result from compression.

A problem with video playback caused by an error in the duplication of the original signal. These can include flickering images, pixelated images, skipping and color shifting.

Coding error found in compressed audio or video signal.

Something artificial, a distortion that does not reflect normal anatomy or pathology, not usually found in the body. For example, in radiology, the appearance on an x-ray of a surgical metal clip that obscures the clear view of an anatomical structure.

In video, the degradation of picture details when a video decoding system cannot keep up with frame-by-frame changes. Video compression systems (codecs) rely on the common reality that only portions of a picture change from frame to frame. If a lot of the picture is changing (as in panning across a crowd of people) decoders may not be able to keep up, and the result is that portions of the picture may momentarily revert to large blocks of color. Other artifacts can be seen in jagged edges, 'staircasing' of guitar strings, etc. Fortunately, most are brief.

An unwanted visual element in a digital photograph that is caused by the sensor, optics or imaging algorithms of a digital camera, or by the compression format used to save an image. Common artifacts include jaggies (jagged lines), moiré patterns (an optical illusion that produces a strobing effect), noise (grainy images), and chromatic aberrations (coloured halos around objects).

The added, and undesirable, changes made to a photo. Typically, these changes are caused by the digital camera or the way the digital camera encodes the picture (see JPEG).

In natural science and signal processing, an artifact is any perceived distortion or other data error caused by the instrument of observation.

Artifacts are misrepresentations of tissue structures seen in medical images produced by modalities such as Ultrasonography, X-ray Computed Tomography, and Magnetic Resonance Imaging.

Mechanically or electrically produced extraneous spikes and waves recorded on an ECG. Common causes of artifact are muscle tremor, alternating current (AC) interference, loose electrodes, interference related to biotelemetry, and external chest compression.

an "accidental" result or outcome that does to reflect reality, often due to an extraneous factor.

Noise which distorts a recording. For example, physical noise on a pressure tracing, or electrical noise on an ECG.

a peculiar test or experimental result which is due to some unusual detail in the procedure which invalidates the usual interpretation of the test or experiment. Example: our blood sugar appears to be lethally low on the glucose oxidase blood sugar test and lethally high on the orthotoluidine blood sugar test. Both of these results are artifacts because the high levels of antioxidants in our blood interfere with the chemical reactions in these test procedures. (Our blood sugar levels are normal when measured by the hexokinase test, in which high antioxidant levels in the blood do not interfere.)

In microscopy, a false structure introduced during preparation of a specimen.

a unique item, often very powerful

a unique item which cannot be destroyed, and is often more powerful than ordinary items

In role-playing games and fantasy literature, an artifact is a magical object with some marvelous and alarming power, so great that it cannot be duplicated by any known art allowed by the premises of the fantasy world, and cannot be destroyed by ordinary means. Artifacts often serve as Mac Guffins, the central focus of quests to locate, capture, or destroy them. The One Ring of The Lord of the Rings is a typical artifact: alarmingly powerful, of ancient and obscure origin, and nearly indestructible.

a piece of work that is created by a student and put in his/her portfolio.

A product generated by the learner that provides evidence of their learning, e.g., an electronic portfolio includes a set of artifacts, which might be research papers, films, lab reports, etc.
