The assignment is now available below, and you could start looking through the fourth worksheet
which will get you started on the assignment.
If you want to review your progress try the interactive tests from the Brian Brown course.
After these you should be coding the techniques introduced in the lectures, for
the assignment, or those offered as alternatives.
The first set of 15 slides, introducing the module & the C Programming language (pdf).
The second set of slides, more on C (pdf).
The third set of C slides (the last) (pdf).
Ten commandments for C Programmers
Image Processing
The first set of image processing slides (pdf).
The next thirty image processing slides (pdf).
This file has some corruption. A word version (warning! large file) is available
The next twelve slides (pdf)
File formats revisited (pdf)
The next eighteen slides
The last set of slides
Mark Nelson's 1989 Dr. Dobbs Journal paper on LZW compression can be found here.
A java implementation of Huffman coding is available here.
A tutorial on static huffman encoding can be found here.
The bullfiighter image
The space shuttle image
The (Solaris SPARC) object file for the read function is here.
The prototype for this function is:
unsigned char *GIVENreadf(char *filename, int *height, int *width, int *type);
which you will need to include at the start of your program.
The assignment specification due TBA
A sign-off sheet is also available.
The formal cover sheet for the assignment will be here.
There are a lot of good C resources available on the BURKS CD ( £6 from the helpdesk).
Some are duplicated here.
A good tutorial on pointers is available here. Pointers are an area of C that confuses most people at some time. Also available is a description of the standard ANSI C libraries. (Both of these are from the BURKS CD).
If you are starting to think about your programming style, excellent! Here is a C programming style guide (pdf). This is for interest. Whilst you may find it useful, you are not expected to read it.
For those interested in advanced algorithms, "Numerical Recipes in C", is available as pdf's

Tony Royce, "C Programming", Macmillan, 1996would be a good buy (£15.99 at Amazon), but (if you are CRTS) you should already have bought that!
If you are not studying CRTS then Royce is strongly recommended. You are likely to need a C text.
Other useful C Books.
Kernighan B.W., & Ritchie. D, "The C Programming language", 2nd edition, Prentice Hall, 1988Again, I would not recommend purchasing these as much of their content won't be of use, but the books I'm usingSedgewick, R, "Algorithms in C", 2nd editon, Addison Wesley 2001.
