MM technology is an advanced course covering both theoretical and practical issues in designing multimedia systems. Topics to be covered include introduction to multimedia systems, digital image processing and compression, digital video compression techniques. The students will be familiar with the common computing fundamentals employed in a variety of multimedia applications such as: multimedia processing, compression and security. The students will be exposed to the core techniques and algorithms spanning across the common and emerging multimedia applications. They will have experience in applying these techniques to novel situations and will be able to do analytical as well as empirical performance evaluation of the particular tech.
