What signal distortion results when discrete cosine transform (DCT) coefficients are truncated during JPEG compression?

💡 Explanation

Coefficient truncation removes high-frequency components via quantization because it effectively sets those components towards zero according to the quantization table; therefore increased quantization noise visibility results, rather than more detail, when certain detail frequencies are eliminated.
