Course Description: This course examines the
techniques used to design compression systems for general signal, audio,
or video data. Lossless compression methods and coding techniques such as
Shannon codes, Huffman codes and nonbinary codes are covered. Lossy
compression techniques and various quantization methods, transform-based
methods, vector quantizer models, lattice, and multistage quantization are
also covered.
