About the Course
Course Objectives
The goal of this course is to familiarize and expose students with current
issues of media processing in relation to communication. A variety of

multimedia (image, video, audio, and graphics) processing and
communication protocols will be presented and discussed. Cross
fertilization of multimedia technologies and communication and network
systems will be emphasized and the interdisciplinary nature of this field
will be highlighted.
Course Contents
Communication today has rich multimedia contents. Under the varying
bandwidth attention is required for appropriate processing of the media
contents satisfying desired quality of service. This course will focus on
bringing the two broad areas of multimedia processing and communication
together. In media processing fundamental concepts of media processing
and compression will be introduced with exposure to current techniques and
standards. In communication protocols and algorithms for both wired and
wireless networks will be discussed in relation to multimedia
communication.
