ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods are provided for diffusing clipping error in a computing system. When a data set contains values which are to be restricted to a range, and the data set includes one or more values which are beyond the range, the invention provides methodology that is an improvement over clipping extraneous values to the range or squeezing the values to the range. Advantageously, systems and methods are provided for distributing or diffusing error to neighboring samples of the data set, thereby spreading localized error, and minimizing the effects associated with remapping the data set to the restrictive range.
