This subject focuses on one aspect of telecommunications signal processing: source coding of images and audio. Incorporated in this main topic are characterisation of random signals using autocorrelation function and power spectral density, optimal linear prediction of signals (including Wiener filtering), quantisation of signals using pulse coding modulation, and differential pulse code modulation, linear transforms (Discrete Fourier Transform, Discrete Cosine Transform, Karhunen-Loeve Transform), sub-band coding transforms and lossless compression. These topics are brought together with an in-depth examination of JPEG coding of images. Finally, the implementation of various other compression methods, including MPEG-2, MPEG-4, MPEG-audio and various techniques of speech coding, is discussed.
Assessment: Assessment is project-based using MATLAB (90%) and five online quizzes (10%).
