	Instructor E-mail Office hour	Hiroyuki Kudo,  Hotaka Takizawa {kudo,takizawa} at cs dot tsukuba dot ac dot jp Kudo:Sougou-B902,  Takizawa:Sougou-B-910; Monday 6
	Course number Field Form	01CH501 Media Engineering lecture
	Term Period Room	3 Monday 4,5 3B302
	Outline	Depending on a year, this course mainly deals with image and speech coding (compression), application of signal/image processing to medical imaging such as CT (Computed Tomography), and advanced topics in signal processing.
	Prerequisite	No advanced knowledge in some specific field is required. However, basic knowledge on mathematics (Fourier analysis, linear algebra, and probability and statistics) and signal/image processing would help you to understand this lecture.
	Class plan	Former 5 weeks:  "Image and speech coding" 1. Introduction to image and speech coding Purpose of coding,  statistical property of signal information,  outline of coding 2. Predictive coding Delta modulation (DM),  differential pulse code modulation (DPCM) 3. Transform coding Transform coding,  orthogonal transforms,  examples of transform coding methods 4. Other coding methods Subband coding,  vector quantization,  video coding       Latter 5 weeks:  "Medical Imaging" 1. Medical imaging system CT,  ultrasound imaging,  MRI,  PET 2. Medical imaging and assisting diagnosis Medical image processing,  computer-aided-diagnosis
