EE 634 Digital Video Systems


EE634 Course Information - Spring 2005

Course Instructor: Professor Edward J. Delp
Office: Room 368 MSEE
Telephone: 49-41740
Office Hours: MWF 11:30am or by appointment


Credit: 3 credit hours.

Prerequisites: EE600 or permission of the instructor. Knowledge of continuous and discrete time signal and systems analysis, Fourier transforms.

Description: The purpose of this course is to present a comprehensive description of video systems and video compression at the graduate level. This course will emphasize the analysis and design of analog and digital video signals and systems. The course will start with characteristics of basic analog video systems including bandwidth constraints, color encoding, and composite signal formation. Digital video concepts will then be presented.

A comprehensive description of digital video compression techniques will then be presented. Compression methods will begin with intraframe coding approaches with particular emphasis on JPEG. The MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 video compression standards will be presented along with issues relative to motion estimation and prediction and video transmission. Low bit rate approaches such as H.261 and H.263+ will also be discussed. The new standards JPEG2000, MPEG-4, and MPEG-7 will also be presented in detail.

Applications will include video streaming. video servers, transmission systems, high definition television, multimedia systems, and videoconferencing systems.

Grading: There will be one mid-term exam and course projects. There will not be a final exam. The grade will be determined by:
Mid-Term Exam: 40%
Course Projects: 60%

Homework: Homework will be assigned, but will not be collected or graded.

Course Projects: The course projects will consist of several short homework-like projects involving the processing of digital video. One large course project will be assigned in the last six weeks of the term. More detail about the projects will be announced later.

VISE Lab: This course will use the Video and Image Systems Engineering Laboratory (VISE) for course demos and projects.
