It uses a representation that is based on the blending of two (or more) `low frequency' signals using a high frequency but low precision modulation signal. Continuity of the low frequency signals helps to avoid block artefacts. Decompression costs are kept low through use of fixed-rate encoding and by eliminating indirect data access, as needed with Vector Quantisation schemes. Good quality reproduction of (A)RGB textures is achieved with a choice of 4bpp or 2bpp representations.I.3.7 [Computer Graphics]Three Dimensional Graphics and RealismTextureI.4.2 [Image Processing and Computer Vision]Compression (Coding)
