Course objectives

Taking this lecture, a student gets an overview in the area of multimedia processing and transfer through computer networks. Basic principles of audio and image (including video) coding and processing are presented, as well as basic methods of multimedia transmissions over using computer networks. The lecture also includes foundations of audio and video acquisition including the principles of acquisition devices.

Learning outcomes

A graduate will be able to understand and explain principles of audio and video coding.
A graduate will be also able to design a system for capture and transmission of multimedia data through a computer network.
A graduate will be also able to select appropriate coding formats for multimedia, taking into account the requested quality and properties of the computer network.

Syllabus

• Audio acquisition, microphones
• Audio mixing, interconnection of components
• Video acquisition, cameras, lenses
• Camera operations
• Digital recording
• Sampling and quantization principles
• Audio and its perception
• Special audio coding, audio compression mechanisms (MPEG-I Layer 3, MPEG-4 Part-3, FLAC etc.)
• Image, video and its perception
• Fourier transformation, DCT, compression
• Compression mechanisms (MPEG family, Theora, Snow, Dirac), codecs, multimedia containers
• Multimedia transmissions, distribution mechanisms, unicast vs. multicast
• Audio and video conferences, streaming
