Key words
Objectives
The course deals considers the following aspects of multimedia:
- introduction of image processing;
- basics of the physical processes involved in audio and video;
- basic principles of information theory with an
overview of encoding standards such JPEG, MPEG, MIDI;
- synthesis of artificial images en sound, with an introduction to
computer graphics;
- web-based image and sound processing in Java.
Each of these topics will be illustrated during the laboratory
sessions, with extensive applications
in digital image processing and sound processing.
Topics
Binary image operations, point operations, Fourier Transform,
Basics of information theory and entropy, runlength coding and
Transform coding.
Color theory, illumination, geometric transformations,
3D imaging and perspective, camera calibration.
Graph structure of the world wibe web, image processing in Java,
search engines in Java.
Prerequisites
Good knowledge of C++ or Java. Good mathematical background,
i.e., mathematical analysis, linear algebra, and Fourier series.
Some knowledge on probability, graph theory, datastructures
and algorithms.
Final Objectives
