CSE 364 Advanced Multimedia (Fall 2000)
Course Description
This is an advanced undergraduate course,
not an introductory course on multimedia systems.
Students who plan to
take this course are expected to have Calculus, Operating Systems (306), and Computer
Networking (310). Having taken CSE334 is helpful, but is NOT required.
If you don't have that background and
still want to take this course, please come and talk to me first.
Instead of taking a ``tool user '' view of multimedia technologies,
the focus of this course is to take a ``tool builder'' view.
That is, the intended audience of this course is for students who are interested in
building multimedia tools and systems for other people, including artists
and engineers in other fields, to use.
There will be three homeworks and a class project.
The three homeworks will be combinations of programming and written assignments,
and are meant to warm up students for the class project.
The major component of this course is the class project.
Students are organized into teams of at most four persons to
design and implement a component of
a multimedia system or application. Each team needs
to make a 30-minute presentations for its project to the class
one on final project results
at the end of the semester.
In addition, every team is asked to turn in a
publication-quality
research paper documenting the implementation and evaluation results.
This semester we will focus on the following projects:
- Stony Brook Streaming Video Server
- Multimedia Program Documentation
- Video-Free Course Lecture Capturing and Playback
- Audio Interaction with Maps
- MPEG and Mesa Integration
- Distributed Game Server
The grade will be based on: 45% Homework, 5% Discretion, and 50% Project.
There is a textbook for this course (listed below). Pointers to relevant papers and notes
will be posted on the class web site.
The workload is estimated to be about 10 hours per week.
The first class is on September 5 (Tuesday).
