This MSc is a challenging one-year taught Masters degree programme that provides students with a range of advanced topics drawn from image and video signal processing. The programme covers the techniques required for reliable wired and wireless image and video transmission (including associated enabling technologies). It provides an excellent opportunity to acquire the necessary skills to enter careers in some of the most dynamic fields in image and video communications.
This programme builds on the internationally recognised research strengths of the Signal Processing Group (SPG) within the Centre for Communications Research. This group is highly regarded for combining fundamental research wih strong industrial collaboration. Its innovative research has resulted in world leading technology in the area of image and video analysis, coding and communication. The Group owns its own comprehensive video and image processing facility.
The MSc provides in-depth training in design, analysis and management skills relevant to the theory and practice of the communication networks industry. The programme was accredited by the IET in 2008 and is one of only a handful of accredited programmes in this field in the UK.
