Code	11525
Year	1
Semester	S1
ECTS Credits	6
Workload	OT(15H)
Scientific area	Informatics
Entry requirements	None.
Learning outcomes	The main objective of this course is to make students know the basic principles of a coding system so that they are able to propose new solutions adapted to the new imaging modalities. In this course it is intended that the student is able to: Explain the basic coding techniques. Know the limits of human perception that affect the choices about digital representation. Design an encoder for the new imaging modalities. Know and use objective and subjective quality assessment methods.
Syllabus	The source coding. The basic principles. The various types of existing methods. New imaging modalities and their implications on existing coding methods. Objective and subjective quality assessment methods.
