COMP6021 Class 31 Lab

Students worked on the assignment.

COMP6021 Class 30 Block Matching Algorithms



We looked at sub-optimal block matching algorithms (BMAs) for motion compensated video compression. I got the feeling that students weren't especially interested in this.


COMP6023 DCOM1b Classes 31 & 32

Students worked on the assignments. I am keen for students to finish soon. There is no reason to delay. Students already have all the information they need to complete all the assignments.

COMP6023 SEO Example

Thanks to a problem with my roof I recently found this ideal example of a website that is in need of some SEO. The whole site is a collection of images.

We did some dithering experiments using Photoshop

COMP6021 Class 26 Transparency & PNG



We looked at transparency, alpha channels, and PNG.

[due to a technology failure there is no recording of today's class. The (shockingly similar) class above is from four years ago.]

COMP6021/COMP6023 Animated GIFs Documentary


COMP6021/COMP6023 JPEG



Here's an online video I made some time about about JPEG. It is largely the same as what we did in class.




This rather unusual logo has it origins in the way JPEG works.

For the remaining 6 weeks of the semester the DNET1 labs will be taken with James O'Sullivan. I will still see students in the lectures.
