Q. Bloom’s
Questions COs
No. LL
Identify the five main stages associated with the baseline mode of operation
1 of JPEG with the aid of a diagram and give a brief description of the role of L3 CO3
each stage.
Apply LZW algorithm to compress the following string:
2 “ABABBABCABABBA” L3 CO3

3 Make use of Static Huffman coding to encode the text: AAABBCD. L3 CO3
Analyze multimedia operating system with respect to CPU management,
4 Memory management, I/O management and file system management. L4 CO3

All the information relating to a compressed image/picture generated by the

various stages in the JPEG encoder is encapsulated within a single frame in
5 such a way that the decoder can modify the individual fields that are L5 CO3
present. Show the structure of a frame in a diagram and describe the role of
the main fields in each of the headers that are used.
