3 ECTS credits
90 u studietijd
Aanbieding 1 met studiegidsnummer 4016441ENR voor alle studenten in het 1e semester met een verdiepend master niveau.
This course provides the theoretical background of digital image and video coding and illustrates the use in practical systems such as digital photography, television and cinema. During the exercise sessions the students will apply the aggregated knowledge.
Detailed content:
1. Coding Theory – entropy, lossy and lossless coding, quality measurement, scalar quantisation, rate-distortion optimisation of quantisers, entropy coding (properties of variable length codes, Huffman codes, arithmetic coding, context-dependent entropy coding, adaptive entropy coding, run-length coding, predictive coding, Lempel-Ziv coding), transform coding (DCT transform, subband transforms, wavelet transform, multiresolution decomposition).
2. Still Image Coding – lossless image coding (GIF, PNG, JBIG and JPEG-LS), lossy image coding (JPEG, Embedded zero-tree coding, MPEG-4 Texture coding, JPEG XR, JPEG2000).
3. Video Coding – hybrid video coding (motion compensated hybrid coders, characteristics of interframe prediction signals, quantisation error feedback and propagation, interlaced video coding, "forward, backward, bi-directional and multiframe" prediction, logaritmic and hierachical motion estimation, variable block size motion compensation, sub-pixel accurate motion compensation, global motion compensation), ITU-T (H.261 and H.263) and ISO standards (MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, DivX, MPEG-4 AVC), scalable video coding (Laplacian pyramids, fine-grain scalability MPEG-4 FGS, motion compensated temporal filtering, MPEG-4 SVC), compression of motion vectors.
4. Adaptation to channel characteristics – rate and transmission control, error protection, error concealment.
5. Applications such as MPEG systems, DVD, digital video broadcast (DVB), media production and distribution platforms & digital cinema.

The examination exists out of two parts:
1) An oral examination related to the theoretical content. The oral examination exist out of a few larger questions in combination with smaller questions that are covering complementary (i.e. other) parts of the course.
2) A practical examination related to the exercises: the students are scored based on a number of exercises, including a large one focused on the design of a codec. A written report, as well as a demonstration and an oral reporting are requested for this part of the examination procedure.
