2026 Fall: Video Communication 视频通信

Written by  |  05/09/2020 - 09/00


Course Description:

 This course introduces the fundamentals of image and video processing, including color image capture and representation, image/video compression, video networking, selected advanced image/video processing techniques, and communication methods. Students will learn to implement algorithms chosen in Python (Matlab). A term project will be required.  Relevant publications will be provided as references.  Students would need to acquire both classical knowledge and cutting-edge techniques through this course.
