Module Coordinator:

Dr Guenole Silvestre

This module provides exposure to an advanced topic in the area ofComputer Science and Digital Communications. Specifically, it providesan introduction to the fundamental principles of data hidingtechnologies, their applications and main challenges. It emphasisesthe importance of mathematical and statistical models and tools inorder to gain in-depth understanding of a system through optimaldesign, performance prediction, etc. Practical illustration isproposed using digital images in the Matlab environment.

Outcomes

On completion of this module, students should have gained a deepunderstanding of the core problems behind data hiding technologies, beable to implement and evaluate various techniques published in therecent research literature and, using lecture notes and other researchpublications, be able to solve challenging problems in the field ofdata-hiding and information forensics. In the process, they will haveacquired fundamental knowledge on probability and information theory,that will enable them to address many other problems outside thediscipline tackled by this course.
