Padron ng paggamit:
an artifact of [process/method]; an artifact in [data/image/scan]

anomaly (A general word for something unusual; it may be real, not necessarily caused by the method.)
|
distortion (Emphasizes that the result is warped or altered from the truth.)
Mga kasalungat
genuine signal (A feature that truly comes from the thing being measured, not from the method.)

Mga kasingkahulugan
glitch (More informal and broader; can be any small fault, not specifically compression/processing effects.)
|
distortion (General term; does not specifically imply a digital processing cause.)
Mga kasalungat
