Syllabus

Course supervisor: Dipl.-Ing. Wanda Benešová, PhD
Supervising department: Institute of Applied Informatics (UAI FIIT)
Course objective: In this course, the students achieve a basic understanding of the theory of digital image processing such as digital representation of visual information, image acquisition and image parameters, advanced sensor technologies for obtaining a 2D and 3D image information. Students will be familiar with the basic techniques such as image preprocessing, changing the dynamic scale, histogram methods, linear convolution method (edge filtering, blurring), noise reduction etc.
In the field of computer graphics,the students will learn the basic principles of vector graphics, rasterization, basic geometric primitives, geometric transformation by matrix operations. A separate chapter will be given to an introduction to color theory.
Key topics of the multimedia part are dedicated to: data compression of sound, image and video signal, the principle of data reduction in the spectral domain as well as the standard MP3, JPEG, JPEG2000 and MPEG compression standards.
Key words: multimedia, data compression
