* Attached please find the schedule and list of Term Project. Please note that we have about 4 session-hours on Jan 20. (However, we had only two session-hours for the exam on Dec. 9. Hence, it is kind of making up that one-hour session.) If you have any problem with the assigned paper and the assigned time-slot, please let me know before Dec. 15, so that we can discuss in the class on Dec. 16. \\
附檔為期末報告時間表。請注意1月20日的報告時間表使用4節課時間。(12/09考試只用2節課時間，所以可視為是補課一小時。)如對指定論文與指定時間有任何問題，請在12/15前告訴我，可在12/16上課時討論。

Image and video processing and coding is used in our daily life such as digital camera, TV, MP3 audio, and internet music/video (mobile devices). This course introduces the basic theory and various techniques used in video signal compression. We introduce the commonly used techniques such as Huffman coding, arithmetic coding, subband/wavelet coding, motion-compensated DCT coding, etc. This course also covers briefly popular compression standards such as JPEG, MPEG, H.264, H.265, and the latest H.266. We now also introduce the most recent learning-based (neural net) image/video compression technology, which is a rapid growing topic.
