The course is an introduction to multimedia communications engineering, and covers the technical aspects of multimedia systems, such as multimedia signal acquisition, compression, processing, and transmission. Special emphasis is placed on compression, and a large part of the course is devoted to the study of image and video compression. Recent developments such as deep learning systems for multimedia processing will also be introduced. The course culminates in an open-ended final project.
