General Course Description
An introduction to the coding and processing of digital multimedia.
The course covers current techniques for processing, storage and delivery
of media such as speech, audio, images, and video. This requires an
in-depth understanding of digital signal processing for 1D signals, as
well as the extensions to 2D and 3D cases. The emphasis will be on the
theoretical basis as well as efficient implementations. Key components
studied in details are digital filters, transforms, quantizers, bit allocators,
entropy coders, motion estimation and compensation algorithms. Current and
future audio/image/video compression standards and formats such as
MP3, JPEG, JPEG2000, MPEG, H.263, HDTV... are frequently used as
illustrations.
