Course description and aims
This course introduces basic theories of the followings: discrete time signals and system, linear time invariant system and convolution operation, application of Fourier transform to signal processing, sampling theorem, DFT and FFT, Laplace and z transforms, frequency characteristics, digital filters (FIR and IIR). It also enhances students' understanding through exercises for the acquisition of knowledge to understand digital signal processing. It further introduces the application of digital signal processing to show students the relationship between theory and practice explaining how digital signal processing techniques are utilized for real systems in the multimedia field.
Student learning outcomes
【Course Objectives】 At the end of the course, participants are expected to understand signal processing systems that treat audio, image, and other sensor signals as digital data, and to acquire basic concepts of theory for designing the systems.
【Themes】 To understand basic theories of digital signal processing that plays essential roles in today's information processing and multimedia technologies, this course deals with such as handling of discrete time signals and systems in time and frequency domains, the theoretical framework of sampling theorem, and design, construction, and implementation of digital filters. In addition, this course also covers application examples of signal processing techniques for data transmission, audio data, and image data that are components of multimedia.
