Hi,
Today (in one hour) we have Steven Pigeon giving us a brief primer on compression methods. Be there.
Time/Date: 14h00 August 25th Location: LISA Lab (AA3256)
Title: Compression 101: A brief Introduction
The goal of the talk is to introduce the goals of data compression and its basic concepts. We will illustrate the concepts using the different stages of a typical codec (for CODer/DECorder pair) such as transformation, analysis, quantization and entropy coding.
(Snacks provided by Steven, yay! :-))
Cheers, Aaron
