Anotation:

The subject deals with compression methods and techniques. Main goal is to introduce basic concepts of lossless and lossy compresion of audiovisual information (entropy, redundancy and irrelevancy). Within the laboratory exercises students will work with implementations of particular algorithms, including objective and subjective methods of quality evaluation.
