Data and Information Compression

Systems Hub / Robotics and Autonomous Systems · 3 Credits

This course begins with an overview of some fundamental information theory related to data compression. Lossless techniques, including Huffman/ arithmetic coding, and their applications; and lossy techniques, including quantization (both scalar and vector), transform coding, predictive coding and their applications will be discussed. Several international standards (such as JPEG for image coding, and H26x, MPEGx and its variants) will be discussed. Programming demos and exercises on various image and speech codes will be an integral part of this course.
