Video compression is very important and widely deployed in Smart Phones, DTV/UHDTV, Digital Cameras/Camcorders, etc. This class aims at providing students with a comprehensive overview of the principles and algorithms employed in image and video compression. A particular course objective is an in-depth understanding of the rationale behind the frame-based video coding such as H.264/AVC (Advanced Video Coding) as well as HEVC (High-Efficiency Video Coding).
