Mastering of advanced principles and techniques of programming in multimedia. Students should apply acquired knowledge in anaysis, study and solving real problems.

This course will train students to be able to independently develop and use the procedures of acceptance, processing, storage, transport, spatial and temporal synchronization of multimedia data streams. The student is trained to analyze, study and solve real problems using the acquired knowledge.

Data structures for multimedia discrete (text, images) and continuous (animation, sound, video) data - streams, trees and networks. Time abstraction. Tagging streams and synchronization. Multimedia data storage structures. Algorithms in multimedia. Algorithms of transfering, manipulation and displaying multimedia data streams. The implementation of certain algorithms in appropriate programming environments. Visual programming. Programming tools and algorithms for processing sound, images, animation and video. Rendering audio tracks in the 3D space. Programming interactive multimedia. Multimedia information systems. Programs for scientific simulations and their applications in various fields (medicine, biology, physics, chemistry, civil engineering, architecture, traffic engineering etc.). Algorithmic game theory. Strategy. The application of intelligent algorithms in computer games. Implementation and analysis of concrete examples.

Lectures. Computer practice. Consultations. The student is obliged to independently do the project and write a seminar paper.
