Digital Signal Processing 2005-06
Principal lecturer: Dr Markus Kuhn
Taken by: Part II
Syllabus
Past exam questions
This 12-h lecture course is an introduction into Digital Signal
Processing, with a particular focus on audio-visual coding techniques,
specifically aimed at third-year Computer Science students. Lectures
are 2005 November 4 to 30 (M/W/Fr), 10:00–11:00 in Lecture Theatre 2.
Study materials
Errata
A small number of problems were found after the handout was printed
this year, which have been fixed in the above PDFs:
- On DSP slides 110–111, the crosscorrelation should be
ϕyx, but was printed as
ϕxy. [Note that
ϕyx(k) =
ϕxy(−k).]
- On DSP slides 87–88, the use of integer indices was somewhat
inconsistent.
- A firmware problem with our lecture-note printer "hazel" caused
all glyphs from the PostScript font Symbol to be printed as a
small black filled circle (•), which affected the labels of some
MATLAB-generated diagrams.
- Colour-space diagrams (DSP slides 137, 161–163) are hardly meaningful
on a black-and-white printout. Best view the PDF on a colour display.
Special thanks to Anton Lokhmotov for feedback.
Demonstration and exercise materials
The material on audio-visual coding (last 4 lectures) was presented
in the past three years as part of the Part II Information
Theory and Coding course. Therefore, exam
questions 2003 Paper 7 Question 8 (a), 2004 Paper 7 Question 8
(c,d), 2004 Paper 8 Question 10 (c), and 2005 Paper 8 Question 10 (d) of
that course are also related to material now covered in Part II DSP.
Solution notes
[Access limited to current Part II students after end of lectures.]
