Course content

The subject will treat visual communications, consisting of, creation, manipulation, representation, distribution and presentation of digital images, video, graphics and animations based on Multimedia Signal processing.
The following will be covered: Statistical characterization, parametric modeling and digital representation of digital images and video. Principles and algorithms for compression of digital images, video and graphics. Focus areas here will be predictive coding, transform coding and sub band coding, digital filtering, recovery and restoration of audio visual information. Combined processing of different media types in the form of manipulations and integration of audio visual information, synthetic imagery and graphics. Image perception and digital representation and evaluation of digital images, image compression, video compression, interactivity., multimedia communications with applications within mobile, wireless an d fixed networks. The multimedia framework and multimedia standardization. Examples will be taken from systems such as JPEG, JPEG2000, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 and MPEG-21.

Learning outcome

The goal is to give an in depth treatment of advanced techniques, algorithms and concepts for digital processing of audio visual information. The processing will be described by applications within multimedia systems.
