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.

Study guidance
Teaching Methods
Lectures and extensive laboratory sessions that provide
hands-on knowledge. Laboratory sessions include programming in Matlab and
Java, and use of an image processing environment.
Assessment
Oral examination, and assessment of student's project.
However, if a student gains a score of 7 or less on 20 on one of the different courses (parts of training items), he proves that his skill for certain subcompetencies is insufficient. Consequently, one can turn from the arithmetical calculation of the final assignment of quotas of a training item and the new marks can be awarded on consensus. Of course the examiners can judge that the arithmetic regulations mentioned in the study index card can also be used for 7 or less. For each deviation a detailed motivation ought to be drawn up. In that case one should point out that the skill for this subcompetency is proven to be insufficient, if the student didn’t pass the partim that is considered to be important for certain subcompetencies.
