Codecs

In this module our esteemed Professor Harinath Garudadri will talk about coders and decoders (Codecs). This will allow us to make better use of our multimedia choices when working with the DragonBoardTM 410c. We want to look at the motivation behind using Codecs, the different ways to take advantage of redundancies when using codecs and finally the ability to take advantage of different receiver / transmitter combinations. If we are able to understand the way that information is sent and received over the data plane we can create and use the right codecs.

Computer Vision and our Application

In this module we will talk in depth about computer vision. We will talk about a variety of current applications of computer vision, and brainstorm the future applications you all are capable of making! Ultimately we will set up a computer vision development environment on your Linaro/Debian release capable of creating a wide variety of computer vision projects. By the end of this module we will have built a great basic application in Python, we will add a few features and pass the code on to you! Hopefully this code can serve as a great template for you all to use.

Frequently Asked Questions

When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
What will I get if I subscribe to this Specialization?
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work.
