Outline of Topics
Introduction: What is Multimedia, text, graphics, images, video, animations, sound, 3D, enabling technologies, applications

Compression: Quantization theory, bit allocation, transform coding, subband coding, fractal coding, vector quantization, motion estimation, visual standards JBIG, JPEG, MPEG 1,2,4, audio/speech coding.

Networking: Introduction to networking priciples: foundation, layering and protocols, physically connecting hosts, packet switching, internetworking, end to end protocols, end to end data, congestion control; Multimedia Networks: requirements and performance issues, throughput, error rate, delay, round trip delay, delay variation or jitter, throughput variation; Qos: RSVP, Diffserv, MPLS, real time multimedia streaming techniques, multicast and rate control;

Wireless and mobile multimedia networking: wireless channel models and protocols; error reslient compression for wireless.

Homework
Each student will choose to do a class project on a mutually agreed upon topic related to multimedia signal processing, communication, or networking. Each class project can have anywhere from 1 to 3 participants. Proposals are due on Friday March 1. Final Project presentations will be on Friday May 3 and May 10th. The report on the final project is due on May 14th. Project will count for 70% of the grade. There will also be in class discussions led by students on papers assigned by the instructor. Participation in class discussions will count 30% towards the grade.

Grading
Class participation:30%
