Multimedia signal processing is now a fundamental part of any modern information, communication, learning, and entertainment system. Once the main Digital Signal Processing concepts and bases have been introduced in the second year, this course prepares students for the analysis and processing of deterministic and random signals, before encoding and transmission of multimedia information.
In related courses both on this and next academic year, the knowledge acquired shall be applied to voice, audio, image and video signals and systems,.
The main goals of the course are:
- Analyze digital signal processing schemes.
- Design digital filters according to prescribed specifications.
- Analyze and specify the basic parameters of communication subsystems from the point of view of signal processing.
- Apply statistical filtering in coding, processing and transmission of multimedia information.
To help in reaching these goals, the course is divided into four major topics: DFT and Fast Fourier Transform, Fundamentals of statistical signal processing, digital filter characterization and multirate signal processing.
English Friendly subject: International students may request from the teachers: a) materials and bibliographic references in English, b) tutoring sessions in English, c) exams and assessments in English.
