Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This lecture aims at understanding fundamental concepts, methods, and technologies for the
development of multimedia information systems and multimedia applications.
The course will cover concepts and technologies for the encoding and representation of digital content. This includes the fundamentals of images/graphics, audio (including speech, music), video, related lossless and lossy compression algorithms based on various standards, as well as advanced audio and video technologies needed for an efficient encoding.
The course consists of (i) a conceptual part, where the concepts and theoretical background are introduced, and (ii) a practical part, consisting of a total of three assignments.
Students are expected not only to understand the concepts but also to be able to apply the concepts, methods, and technologies and to use these to implement systems and applications.

Please note the following recommendations for taking this course:
Take these courses first:
*(MRE) Multimedia Representation & Encoding [recommended to be taken in Bachelor Program]
(MCM) Multimedia Content Management [recommended to be taken in Bachelor Program]

Then take these courses after the ones mentioned above:
(MRS) Multimedia Retrieval and Content-Based Search [recommended to be taken in the Master Program]
(MST) Multimedia and Semantic Technologies [recommended to be taken in Master Program]

Assessment and permitted materials

Two written exams (tests) during the semester. No aids are allowed during the exam.
Three assignments are to be submitted throughout the semester,
each will be graded separately.
Grading will be based on
- the degree of completion of the assigned tasks
- the demonstrated understanding of the technologies and underlying concepts and theories.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Gain a more profound and thorough understanding of the topics presented in the course.

The final mark is calculated based on the two written exams (each 20%) and the three assignments (assignment 1: 20%, assignment 2: 20%, assignment 3: 20%). In the context of each assignment, one can receive up to 4 bonus points per assignment, i.e., 12 bonus points in total.

To achieve positive grading, students
- must submit a solution for each project assignment, and
- need to reach at least 50% of the maximum points achievable over all assignments, and
- need to reach at least 50% of the maximum points achievable over all written exams, and
- need to be present at each assessment meeting for the assignments if requested.

Grading scale:
89% <= P <= 100% Sehr Gut (1)
76% <= P < 89% Gut (2)
63% <= P < 76% Befriedigend (3)
50% <= P < 63% Genügend (4)
0% <= P < 50% Nicht Genügend (5)
