Course Description This course provides a comprehensive introduction to multimedia signals and design of systems for capture, storage, transmission and reproduction of multimedia signals. The following topics are covered: extension of one dimensional signal processing concepts into multiple dimensions for image and video processing, some basic tools such as Fourier and Cosine transforms, Nyquist’s theorem, digital filter design, practical implementation of signal processing algorithms in software using Matlab, understanding, estimating and enhancing specific multimedia features of shape, orientation, texture, color and motion, introduction to multimedia formats and compression standards such as MP3, JPEG and MPEG.
