For:   D   I   Ii   IT   Y  

  Area of Education:

Subject area:

  Advancement level (A-D): D

Aim:
The course treats coding and data compression from an information-theoretic view. The main issues are information sources, entropy, mutual information, source coding theorem, Huffman coding, arithmetic coding, Universal coding, Lempel-Ziv Coding and Rate-Distortion bounds. The course is recommended as a precursor for the Image Coding and Data Compression course (TSKB01)

Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Probability theory

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Supplementary courses:
TSBK01 Image Coding and Data Compression
