Description

Characteristics of analogue information sources (speech, audio, images, video). Sampling methods. Scalar and vector quantisation. Information and entropy. Elementary coding tools. Lossless compression methods. Lossy compression and distortion measures. Rate-distortion analysis and optimization. Basic .waveform coding. methods: PCM, DM, DPCM, etc.. Advanced waveform coding methods: linear transforms, including DCT and subband/Wavelet transforms; and predictive methods. Non-waveform methods, including vocoders and frequency domain methods. Major coding methods and standards for speech, audio, images and video. Embedded/progressive coding with applications in modern communication systems. Real time transmission of speech, audio and video in telecommunication systems, including fixed and variable bit rate coding.
