Learning Outcomes
After passing this course, the student should have the knowledge of the different compression methods used for digital video transmission and storage, including the state of the art video codecs H.264/AVC, SVC, MVC, HEVC.
Content
| Content | Core content | Complementary knowledge | Specialist knowledge |
| 1. | Compression methods for digital transmission and storage of video. The functional blocks of a modern video compression system with emphasis on signal processing aspects. | video pre- and post-processing | video rate control and implementation aspects |
| 2. | Application of video compression algorithms in practical video applications (digital TV, video phone, internet video) and advanced topics in video compression. | video applications, e.g. streaming | future generation video codecs and future video broadcasting systems. |
Instructions for students on how to achieve the learning outcomes
The course grade is based on 1) the exercises, and 2) the exam performance. Optionally an assignment can provide additional bonus points. The minimum threshold of exercises for being admitted to the final exam is 75% (with a grade >=3). The course exercises focus on the lecture content and give the opportunity to implement and use PCs to enforce the theory learned in the lectures. The final exam assesses the students' performance with respect to the learnings of the whole course.
Assessment scale:
Numerical evaluation scale (1-5) will be used on the course
