Course description and aims

The basic knowledge and the approaches for developing high-quality visual media are introduced by lecturers who have been leading research and development in the companies or enterprises in the visual media industry. This course focuses on visual media, especially digital cameras and displays, and the approaches to evaluate and/or enhance the image quality are discussed.
The aim of this course is to enhance practical and problem-solving skills as well as specialist skills by learning how the knowledge of fundamental mathematical principles, signal processing, and human-centric information systems are applied to the development of practical media systems.

Student learning outcomes

Students will acquire the ability to apply the knowledge of fundamental mathematical principles, signal processing, and human-centric information systems to the development of practical media systems. Students will be able to design the method for media quality evaluation. By learning the methods and examples for evaluating and/or enhancing the media quality, students will gain the aspects for solving practical problems in the development of media information systems.

Keywords

Image media, image and video systems, digital cameras, displays, image quality, color, objective evaluation, subjective evaluation

Competencies that will be developed

Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

In the first class the outline on the visual media quality is presented as well as the position of the topics focused in this course, digital camera and display systems. Next, the theories and examples related to the image quality are introduced by the lecturers from the companies in digital camera and display industries. In the final class, the lectures are summarized, and the quality issues in other visual media are also discussed.
