Video is becoming the dominant traffic over the Internet and mobile networks. In this class, we will cover the important topics on video signal processing, modeling, compression, and communication, that are part of the on-going efforts in both academia and industry. This course introduces fundamental principles and practical techniques of digital video coding and communication. Fundamental principles, includes the theories of human visual psychology, results of information theory, the description of the image model and images digitized process. Practical techniques of video coding system include the principles and the methods of image transformation, quantization, Intra and Inter prediction, motion estimation, and entropy coding. Network video coding includes scalable video coding and distributed video coding.  On the communication side, this course also introduces the elementary knowledge of multimedia transport protocol and system. Transport system architecture and protocol stack are overviewed, and application-layer transport protocols are introduced in detail, including traditional TV broadcasting protocol and IP-based media transport protocol. New media protocols are introduced under the future media trend and application as well, such as DASH and SMT.  Upon completion of the class, students should have both theoretical background and algorithmic experiences in dealing with video signal modeling, compression, and streaming, and have practical experiences in setting up video networking sessions with the latest tools from various industrial standardization effort. This course completely reflects the new progress of video coding and communication, not only gives the research hotspots, but also gives practical methods and techniques of this field.
