Course Details
• Introduction to Video Compression: Understanding the basics of video compression, including the difference between lossy and lossless compression. • Video Codecs: Exploring various video codecs used in lossy video compression, such as H.264, H.265, VP9, and AV1. • Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT): Learning about the mathematical foundation of DCT, its application in video compression, and its role in transforming video data into a more compressible format. • Motion Estimation and Compensation: Understanding the concepts of motion estimation and compensation, their importance in video compression, and how they help reduce temporal redundancy. • Quantization and Entropy Coding: Delving into the techniques used to reduce spatial redundancy, such as quantization and entropy coding, and their impact on video quality. • Rate Distortion Optimization: Examining the trade-off between bitrate and distortion in video compression and how to make optimal decisions for different use cases. • Perceptual Video Compression: Exploring methods to optimize video compression based on human perception, including the use of perceptual models and subjective quality evaluation. • Video Compression Standards: Reviewing industry-standard video compression specifications, such as MPEG and ITU, and their requirements for interoperability and compatibility. • Practical Video Compression Techniques: Applying the concepts learned in previous units to real-world scenarios, with hands-on exercises and projects.
