slope overload noise, edge busyness, granularity noise, and contouring noise

At sharp transitions in a picture, the error

is usually very large.
If it is larger than the greatest quantizer step, the system is said to be in "slope

when the system gets into slope overload, it may take several samples to recover.
A nonuniform quantizer may be designed with large outer steps to force
