Perhaps we could reduce the artifact by storing extra color information for areas where there is more variation of color in the original image. Now that I think about it, this seems similar to how quad/oct-trees worked for spatial acceleration, in that detail/resolution could be dynamically adjusted as needed.

@Kalecgos Ah, this is a good point. There are connections between spatial acceleration data structures and techniques used for image compression. We unfortunately don't have the time to get into this much deeper for the course, but if you want to dig into this further, you might want to read into wavelet-based image compression.
