THE QUARTUS PRIME SOFTWARE: FOUNDATION
Course Description

You will learn how to use the Quartus® Prime software to develop an FPGA design from initial design to device programming. You will create a new project, input new or existing design files, and compile your project. You’ll learn how to search for compilation information, use settings and assignments to adjust the results of compilation, and manage I/O-related assignments using the Pin Planner and the BluePrint Platform Designer. You will also learn about device programming files and how to program an FPGA device on your board. You will learn techniques to help you plan your design. You will employ Quartus Prime features that can help you achieve design goals faster. You will also learn how to plan and manage I/O assignments for your target device.

Advances in Image/Video Compression Using Graph Transform Lecture Series

Title : Advances in Image/Video Compression Using Graph Transform
Date : 16 May 2016 (Next Monday)
Time: 10:00am - 12:00pm
Venue: Dewan Taklimat, Level 2, Tower Block, Faculty of Engineering, UPM


Abstract

This talk describes recent developments in several areas of image and video compression employing new signal processing and computer vision techniques. After an initial discussion about the future of video compression, the talk will be centered around graph transforms. I will first address the design of graph transforms achieving very good compression efficiency on both piecewise-smooth and natural images, and their application to image compression and intra-frame video compression. Next, I will introduce a new video compression paradigm that replaces macro blocks with superpixels, and employs a graph transform to encode each super pixel. Finally, I will describe a new and very efficient transform, called ?steerable? DCT, which is able to orient the DCT basis functions spatially and spectrally so as to adapt to directional features of the block being encoded.

Speaker: Assoc. Prof. Enrico Magli

Enrico Magli was born in Torino (Italy) in 1972. He received the degree in Electronics Engineering in 1997, and the Ph.D. degree in Communications Engineering in 2001 at Politecnico di Torino. From January 2011 he holds an Associate Professor position in the Dept. of Electronics of the same University. His research activities are in the field of compressed sensing, error resilient image and video coding, compression of remote sensing images, distributed source coding, and image/video security. He has coauthored over 130 scientific papers in international journals and conferences, including more than 50 journal papers, and has organized several journal special issues and conference special sessions.

All are invited to attend the DLP Lecture Series.

Postgrad International Food Day

Another successful event was held on the 21st April 2016. A virtual reality product demonstration by BTR Evolution Sdn Bhd (http://www.virtalis.com/systems/activedesk/) and the Postgraduate International Food day. This is the day where students and supervisor expressing the phrase "Sharing is Caring"*. Thanks for sharing the food and for your continuous support.

Do you that the Salvation Army has had "sharing is caring" trademarked since 1950.
