New Course
EE 695E Digital Video Systems
Spring 1998
This course will introduce you to the new world of digital video! It is estimated that by the year 2005 70% of the images and video consumers interact with will be digital.
In this course you will learn about video compression techniques such as MPEG1 and MPEG2. We describe how digital video is used in multimedia systems. You will also learn about the emerging area of low-bit rate compression as described by the new MPEG4 standard.
The course will also present techniques for motion estimation, object tracking, and time-varying image analysis.
This course will use the new Video and Image Systems Engineering Laboratory (VISE) for course demos and projects. The VISE Lab has 25 state-of-the art workstations worth more than $1,000,000. These workstations are capable of doing real-time digital video processing.

Credit: 3 hours.
Prerequisite: EE600 or permission of the instructor
Description: The purpose of this course is to present a comprehensive description of digital video 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. The emphasis will be on the processing of time-varying images. Topics will include filtering, enhancement, restoration, and motion estimation and prediction. A comprehensive description of digital video compression techniques will be presented. Compression methods will begin with intraframe coding approaches with particular emphasis on JPEG. The MPEG1 and MPEG2 video compression standards will then be described. Low bit rate approaches such as H.261, H.263, and MPEG4 will also be discussed. Applications will include video servers, transmission systems, high definition television, multimedia systems, and videoconferencing systems.
