Content
This unit has been developed to examine the rapidly evolving principles and techniques that allow us to create and manage complex multimedia environments. We study the techniques for the effective and efficient constructing and delivery of multimedia documents. While a number of document types and delivery systems are examined, most time is devoted to the web-based and disc based multimedia delivery. The compressing techniques and standards for text, images, audio and video, including latest developments in MPEG-7 and MPEG-21 will be covered extensively.
