Course outline:
This unit aims to provide students with an understanding of the fundamental
concepts, theory and techniques of digital
video signal coding and compression and an introduction to applications of
digital video signal compression and their
implementations. At the end of the unit, students will be able to apply signal
compression techniques to image/video signal
coding tasks and to design and implement compression algorithms by hardware and
software. Topics to be covered
include: waveform characterization and representation; transform coding,
including Karhunen Loeve transform, discrete
Hadamard transform, discrete walsh Hadamard transform, and discrete cosine
transform, performance evaluation; motion
compensated video coding techniques; hybrid coding algorithms and their
applications to image and video encoding and
compression; sub-band and wavelet transform coding; vector quantization;
run-length coding; variable-length coding
techniques including Huffman, Sannon-Fano and Comma codes; fractal image
compression; hierarchical coding; filtering
in video systems; introduction to industrial coding/compression standards for
image/video signals.
