***********************************************************
** A 3-Day Workshop on Digital Image/Video/Audio Coding: **
** Principles, Algorithms and International Standards. **
** 10-12 July 1995. **
***********************************************************
Dr. K.R. Rao, Professor of Electrical Engineering,
University of Texas at Arlington, U.S.A..
PRESENTED BY:
Department of Robotics and Digital Technology,
Faculty of Computing and Information Technology,
MONASH UNIVERSITY.
VENUE: Department of Robotics and Digital Technology,
Monash University, Clayton Campus, Melbourne, Victoria.
WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:
This workshop will present and discuss the fundamental
principles and algorithms of the various international
coding standards such as
JPEG, CCITT H.261, MPEG-1 and -2 (audio and video),
MPEG-4, CMTT-2 and FCC/HDTV, as well as their
various application aspects in multimedia computing,
desk top video conferencing, video-on-demand,
Grand Alliance HDTV.
BENEFITS:
This course will enable you to:
-be familiar with the various compression techniques aimed
at both transmission and storage;
-understand the algorithmic principles of these standards;
-enhance the coder/decoder systems with attractive features;
-be familiar with the software available via ftp
and acquire information regarding chips, chip sets,
boards, systems, multimedia workstations, available
(or being developed) in the market;
-acquire knowledge about the interoperability and
compatibility between the various standards.
INTENDED AUDIENCE:
This workshop is directed at researchers, engineers,
technical managers and academics who need to keep abreast
with the emerging standards for interactive video/audio
communications/storage services, and who are
active in the development of hardware and software.
It is also of interest to people interested in
integrating the boards and codecs with their
existing PCs and workstations resulting in the
support of multimedia,
teleconferencing and other interactive services.
INSTRUCTOR:
Dr. K.R. Rao has been a professor of Electrical
Engineering at the University of Texas, Arlington
since 1966, and received an outstanding research
award from the university in 1992. He has
published 120 papers in refereed technical
journals and five books in this field, and conducted
workshops on digital signal coding and compression
world-wide. Dr. Rao is also the Chairman of
SPIE's Critical Reviews of Technology Conference on:
Standards and Common Interfaces for Information
Systems to be held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,
in October 1995.
