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.

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:
TSBK02 Image and Audio Coding, TSDT83 Information Theory

Organisation:
The course consists of lectures, lessons and laboratory work.

Course contents:
Statistical source models. Lossless coding, Entropy, Source Coding Theorem, Huffman Coding, Arithmetic Coding, Universal Coding, Lempel-Ziv coding. Analog signals. Rate-Distortion bounds.
