CMPUT 414 is an introductory course to basic principles and algorithms used in current technologies of
multimedia systems. One of the goals of this course is to give the student
hands-on experience on issues relating to multimedia data representation,
compression, processing, and retrieval. In addition, the course will address
issues relating to sound transmission, music streaming, 2-D and 3-D graphics,
image and video. We will also explore human perceptual issues associated to
multimedia technologies.
