Intended learning outcomes

The course should give knowledge about methods used for data compression and how these methods are applied to audio and image signals. After taking the course, the student is expected to be able to

  • Make random models for sources
  • Analyze random source models
  • Understand source coding methods such as huffman coding and arithmetic coding.
  • Understand quantization
  • Understand linear predictive coding
  • Understand transform coding.
  • Understand subband coding.
  • Calculate coding performance for different coding methods, given random models for the sources
  • Know how different coding methods are used for compression of still images, video and audio data.
  • Know what methods are used in different compression standards (GIF, PNG, JPEG, MPEG, mp3, AAC, speech kodning).

Course content

Theory:

  • Random signal models
  • Lossless coding
  • Entropy
  • Huffman coding
  • Arithmetic coding
  • Lempel-Ziv coding
  • Scalar quantization
  • Vector quantization
  • Linear predictive coding
  • Transform coding
  • Subband coding.
  • Motion estimation and motion compensation.
Practical methods
  • Still image coding: GIF, PNG, JPEG, JPEG-2000
  • Video coding: MPEG-1/2/4
  • Speech coding: CELP, GSM
  • Audio coding: MPEG-1 audio layer I/II/III, Dolby Digital, AAC, Ogg Vorbis

Regulations (apply to LiU in its entirety)

The university is a government agency whose operations are regulated by legislation and ordinances, which include the Higher Education Act and the Higher Education Ordinance. In addition to legislation and ordinances, operations are subject to several policy documents. The Linköping University rule book collects currently valid decisions of a regulatory nature taken by the university board, the vice-chancellor and faculty/department boards.

LiU’s rule book for education at first-cycle and second-cycle levels is available at http://styrdokument.liu.se/Regelsamling/Innehall/Utbildning_pa_grund-_och_avancerad_niva.
