Information Coding – VGTU

About this course

The subject focuses on the information source coding – terms of information content and entropy, symbol and stream codes. Variable-length codes, arithmetic coding, dictionary coding are analysed in this subject. There are performed a review of channel coding – block codes, Cyclic codes, Reed-Solomon codes, used for optical disk consumer electronics, mobile internet systems, computer storage management systems and digital television. Also in this subject the convolutional codes, Trellis codes are analysed. The fundamentals of audio coding and compression standards: PCM, MP3, AC3, and AAC are taught. The fundamentals of coding and compression of still pictures using JPEG, coding and compression of moving pictures using MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, and H.264 is taught. Also in this subject are reviewed technologies such as: cryptography, block cipher, stream cipher, single key and two keys encryption. The RSA algorithms, digital signatures, DES, AES are introduced.

Expected learning outcomes

Students will know fundamentals of the information coding, will learn information coding algorithms and its peculiarity, will be able to apply the information coding algorithms by solving practical tasks.
