- In statistics, discretization allows continuous variables to be represented as distinct categories.
- discretization of an image
And that's the same way as you sum over different discretizations of that surface once you once you have defined the unit for that discretization.

Examples
-
Detailed routes require fine-grained discretization, which leads to an exponential number of routes in total.

So discretization is saying that I'm going to take my horizontal axis and chop it up into number of intervals.
-
By Taylor-expanding Phi(x), we obtain an approximate discretization based on central finite differences.

The discretization of the data helped the researchers analyze the patterns more effectively.
-
The process of discretization transformed the large dataset into manageable segments for analysis.

Morphology
discretization = discretize (transparent) = discrete + ize + ation
Formed by a productive nominalization (-ation) of the verb 'discretize'; the meaning 'process of making discrete' is directly derivable.
Etymology
The word discretization comes from discrete meaning 'separate' and the ending -ization meaning 'the act of making'. Think of it like cutting a smooth ribbon into many small pieces so a computer can work with each part, so discretization is the process of turning continuous data into separate values.
