Video processing is a subject in the third year of the Degree in Audiovisual Systems Engineering and is dedicated to an introduction to the fundamentals of processing images or video sequences.
Video is the technology of capturing, recording, processing, storing, transmission and reconstruction by digital or analog means of a sequence of images representing scenes in motion. Far beyond this definition, the importance of the video nowadays and in our culture as a means of communication and transmission of knowledge, source of creativity and, even, like art, is unquestionable.
The aim of this course is to understand the particularities of this type of data structure due to the temporal information it contains. More specifically, will present the video formats, both analog and systems in digital systems, processing techniques and basic digital filtering and some basic concepts related to transmission and storing.
It is highly recommended that students have a good background in linear algebra, calculus and numerical methods, vector fields, Fourier transform, probability and, especially, digital image processing. In any case, you must have completed the courses: Linear Algebra and Discrete Mathematics, Calculus and Numerical Methods, Signals and Systems, Differential Equations, Probability and Stochastic Processes, Image Processing.
The natural complement to this course is Image and Video Coding Systems, a subject that can be attended simultaneously with Video Processing and Block electives Image and Video.

Cross-disciplinary competences: Those that are required in the exercise of Any-UIER degree or career (verbal and written communication, analytical and systemic thinking, problem solving, creativity, etc..). They are classified into:
• Instrumental: include cognitive, methodological, and linguistic cnológicas you. (Eg, ability to organize and plan, ability to properly omunicarse c orally and written, both to audienci as expert and inexperienced).
• Interpersonal: skills are defined as r tend to facilitate the processes of social interaction and cooperation. (Ex: ability to work in grup or expression of ethical / social).
• Systemic or integrative: suppose a combination of understanding and knowledge SENSITIVITY let see how it grouped and established ones relationship between parts of a whole. These skills require as a basis, p revia acquisition of instrumental and interpersonal skills. (Ex: ability to adapt for New years learning contexts
Specific competencies are related to the knowledge and practices ncretas grade co. (Eg ability to describe, program, validate and optimize czar communication protocols and interfaces at different levels of network architecture)
The evaluation will be continued and evaluation mechanisms of competencies are:
| Characteristics | Moment | Recuperable | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tests |
Written Test (Final Exam) |
50% |
Recuperable |
| Partial Test |
1st Partial Test |
Up to 15% |
Non recuperable |
| Labs |
Laboratories (report, code |
50% |
Non recuperable |
To pass the course, the final of both the written test and the practices must be at least 5. Otherwise, the final grade will be minimum between the final grade and practices.
Should you meet the above condition, the final grade will be calculated using the following formula:
Nota_final = 0.5 · Test_Grade + 0.5 · Lab_Grade + 0.15 · 1st_Partial_Test_Grade
If the grade exceeds 10 will be truncated, but the value will be taken into account for honors.
The methodology of this course combines lectures to explain the teacher to work individually and in group sessions conducted by students in practices (group average) and workshop (small group). In particular, the work inside and outside the classroom is organized as follows:

Teaching resources and teaching materials:
Each classroom session will correspond teaching materials that teachers will available to students through classroom Moodle Course. this material will go from notes, supplementary texts, articles for the theory sessions, worksheets for the seminar sessions, practical guide to information sources for several practice sessions.
