Back to E6880 Home PageThe final will be on Tuesday May 13th in 1127 Mudd, between 4:10pm and 7:10pm.
Your preparation for the final should consist of:
The final examination will be with closed books. You can bring one page (letter size) with notes (double-sided is acceptable), as well as a calculator. The calculator should not be as powerful as a full-blown laptop/desktop computer (the distinction is admittedly becoming very blurred).
The material to be convered in the final will consist of the entire course syllabus. There will be several questions of varying difficulty (several easy ones, a few of average difficulty, and perhaps one that requires a particularly good insight into what we have covered in the class).
The best indication for the types of questions that will be asked are the style of the lectures and of the homeworks.
The material we have covered is as follows.
Chapters 1, 2 (excluding 2.7-2.11), 3, 4 (excluding 4.3-4.4), 5 (excluding 5.9-5.12), 12.10 (Lempel-Ziv Coding), 13.1-13.3.1. Note that only discrete-time stochastic processes have been considered in the course.
Chapters 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 (briefly), 10, 11 (briefly).
The GIF specifications have been made available on the Web site (see Image File Formats).
Note that the motion estimation techniques covered in class are not described in the textbooks (you can find them in the "Digital Pictures" book, by Netravali and Haskell - see the Reference Material in the Projects section).
