CMPE 265B Special Topics in Image Processing and Coding - 2 credits.

Open only to graduate students in Computer Science and Engineering.
Course time: M-W, 5pm - 6:45pm
Place: Applied Sciences, Room 165

This course (2 credits) plus CE 265A (3 credits) counts for a 5-credit course in the 260 series (graphics and image processing) for breadth or depth. For students who took CE 265A in Fall 1997, this Spring 98 course completes the 5-credit 265 course.

Spring 1998 topic: MPEG video

Text:

Joan Mitchell, Bill Pennebaker, Chad Fogg, and Didier LeGall, MPEG, Chapman and Hall, $65. Some students may wish to borrow the book from someone or split the cost with another student taking the course.

The MPEG family (MPEG1, MPEG2, and MPEG4) consists of video and audio compression algorithms for a variety of products including digital video on CD-ROMs and digital TV broadcasting in the new HDTV format by the "Grand Alliance". The primary focus is on MPEG1. Compliant MPEG2 implementations must be able to decode MPEG1 bitstreams.

Course topics:

MPEG overview, the Discrete Cosine Transform, MPEG coding principles and algorithm notation, MPEG syntax, video syntax, Motion compensation, Pel reconstruction, Motion estimation and Rate Control. The 265B courses do not include an individual project. The instructor lectures for the first four weeks of the quarter; covering the above topics related to the MPEG1 algorithm with one weekly homework assignment that covers that week's topics.
