In electronics and signal processing:
- JitterJitterJitter is the undesired deviation from true periodicity of an assumed periodic signal in electronics and telecommunications, often in relation to a reference clock source. Jitter may be observed in characteristics such as the frequency of successive pulses, the signal amplitude, or phase of...
, an irregular time variation of period signal properties, such as small, unpredictable delays in schedulingScheduling (computing)In computer science, a scheduling is the method by which threads, processes or data flows are given access to system resources . This is usually done to load balance a system effectively or achieve a target quality of service... - Delay jitter, in packet switched networks, also called packet delay variationPacket delay variationIn computer networking, packet delay variation is the difference in end-to-end delay between selected packets in a flow with any lost packets being ignored...
In computer software:
- Jitter, a set of video processing extensions in the multimedia package MaxMax (software)Max is a visual programming language for music and multimedia developed and maintained by San Francisco-based software company Cycling '74. During its 20-year history, it has been widely used by composers, performers, software designers, researchers, and artists for creating innovative recordings,...

In optics
- JitterJitter (optics)In optics, jitter is used to refer to motion that has high temporal frequency relative to the integration/exposure time. This may result from vibration in an assembly or from the unstable hand of a photographer. Jitter is typically differentiated from smear, which has a lower frequency relative...
, the oscillatory motion of the image with respect to the detector, which blurs the recorded image
