Summary

The course of Multimedia is taught by Prof. F.Stanco. The course is part of the MSc Course in Computer Science of the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science of the University of Catania, Italy.

Within this course, I taught the module “Video media and Motion Estimation” and several seminars in the A.Ys. 2017\18, 2016\17, and 2014\15.

The official page of this course is hosted in Prof. F.Stanco’s website, whilst unofficial previous editions of this course are available in the following pages: A.Ys. 2016\17 , and 2015\16 .
