Hello class,<br>
<br>
Here are some important points about your project:<br>
<br>
* Please <b>send to Marina (<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated"
href="mailto:mbosi@stanford.edu">mbosi@stanford.edu</a>) and me
an email</b> as soon as your group is formed with the list of
members<br>
<br>
* Start early <b>assessing your baseline coder modules</b> (and
pick the best one(s)) using the listening tests as described in hw7<br>
<br>
* Every group will have to meet with Marina on either Monday 25,
Tuesday 26 or Wednesday 27 to discuss the project proposal. You'll
be expected to <b>show a working baseline coder</b>, and <b>play
some examples from the SQAM disk excerpts.</b><br>
<br>
* Common ideas regarding additional features you can consider for
your coder include <span class="Apple-style-span"
style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875);
-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469);
-webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); ">Huffman
coding, variable date rate coding, stereo coding, block switching.
You're also encourage to look at features existing in other coding
schemes, such as MPEG-1 and 2 (assigned readings for the next
couple of weeks), or Dolby AC-3 as presented by Louis Fielder on
Friday.<br>
<br>
* Think about a timeline for your implementation so as to keep
realistic goals. The requirement about quality for your final
coder (as described in hw6) is an important criterion in the
evaluation of your project.<br>
