alteración / degradación (de la imagen)
Explanation:
Artefact/artifact.

In the case of computer technology an artefact is a byproduct of a compression method or transmission system - some undesirable alteration or degradation of the original data.

Dictionary of Film and Digital Photography

For example, JPEG compression can result in very unpleasant blurring, ghosting and patchiness in images when applied at an extremely aggressive level or when applied repeatedly to an image.

imagen equivocada / imagen enfocada indebidamente


Explanation:
Puesto que una acepción de "artifact" es "objeto que queda de otro momento o cultura" en este caso sería una imagen enfocada indebidamente.
