Image Compression (5 op) 175512


Course description

The course introduces to image compression algorithms covering coding methods such as Huffman, Golomb and arithmetic coding; statistical, predictive and context modeling methods; DCT and wavelet transforms, vector quantization, and fractal-based compression. Existing image compression standards are studied including JBIG, JBIG-2, JPEG, JPEG-LS, JPEG-2000 and MPEG but the emphasizes is on the compression methods in these standards rather than the specifications details.
