  IMA4508 Image, video and 3D graphics compression  IMA4508
Coordination Titus ZAHARIA
Duration 45h
ECTS 4
Prerequisite None
Objectives
  • To introduce the new scientific challenges posed by the scalable coding and universal access paradigms.
  • To present in details the underlying fundamental principles and mathematical tools, as well as the major compression standards.
  • To implement these methods and techniques in the framework of realistic industrial applications (e.g. digital TV, telesurveillance, robotics, 3D gaming...).
  • Content
  • New challenges for multimedia compression: digital terrestrial TV, High-Definition TV, TV over ADSL, scalability and technological convergence
  • Generic principles of image compression techniques
  • Decorelation techniques, predictive approaches, transform-based and hybrid methods
  • Quantization techniques
  • Binary coding: arithmetic coding, error resilient tools
  • Multiresolution image coding: wavelet-based approaches
  • Scalable compression techniques
  • Fractal-based image coding
  • The JPEG standards: from JPEG to MotionJPEG
  • The MPEG standards: from MPEG-1 to MPEG-21
  • Compression for film distribution over the Internet
  • New challenges in multimedia compression
  • Adaptive compression techniques
  • Transcoding techniques
  • Emerging standards: MPEG-4 AFX, MPEG-4 AVC (H-264), MPEG-4 SVC
