S. Shirani

The goal of this course is to introduce technologies involved in multimedia communications. Methods used to model information sources are introduced. A number of lossy and lossless compression schemes including Huffman, arithmetic, dictionary scalar quantization, vector quantization, differential coding, wavelet and subband coding are examined. State-of-the-art compression standards including AVC, HEVC and JPEG2000 are reviewed. Current research areas in multimedia communications will be discussed through students’ seminars.
