摘要
本文簡要概述了喬治亞理工學(xué)院計算機(jī)系所開設(shè)的“數(shù)字視頻特效”課程。作為一門本科生選修課，該課程在學(xué)生中受到大力歡迎。本文介紹了該課程開展的目的、課程教材，指出學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)該課程時的任務(wù)和要求以及如何將數(shù)字視頻作為媒介加以運用的技巧。數(shù)字視頻特效課程所涉及到的視頻處理技巧及所產(chǎn)生的特效娛樂性質(zhì)使其成為一堂異常獨特的課程，其目的是將學(xué)生隨處可見的視頻進(jìn)行分析、處理及合成，同時教學(xué)生如何對視頻進(jìn)行技巧性的處理。
Abstract
We present a brief overview of our course "Digital Video Special Effects” taught in the College of Computing at Georgia Institute of Technology. This course is offered as an elective at the undergraduate level every year and is very popular with the undergraduate students. Here we present the goals that lead to this course and a discussion of the material that is covered. We also present what the students are expected to do and how they learn to “deal” with digital video as a medium. The merger of the technical aspects of video processing, with the entertainment aspects of generating special effects make this a very unique class. It aims to make analysis, processing, and synthesis of video ubiquitous to the students, while teaching them the technical aspects of what can be done with video.
