Multi-Image Restoration and fusion: from Applied Mathematics to the imaging Industry – MIRIAM
This research program deals with the quality enhancement of digital images. Specifically, we consider the increasingly common situations where several acquisitions of the same scene are available, possibly through a video sequence. An issue of growing importance is to fuse these im- ages in order to
PRInted MEtal – PriMe
For most electronic applications, precious metals are required for connectivity or signal transmission (RFID, etc.). These metals are often expensive with limited worldwide reserves. Besides, the adverse environmental effect, the constant increase in demand from traditional and emerging markets put
Safety Intelligent Sensor for Cobot – SISCob
The major objectives of the sectors of manufacturing and handling services concern the improvements in terms of reducing financial costs, increase quality and productivity; new societal and environmental issues should be taken into account: safety and environmental impact and lack of skilled labor f
a Physical InterNet cross-docking hUb conTrol System – PI-NUTS
The PI-NUTS (“Physical InterNet cross-docking hUb conTrol System”) project contributes to the Physical Internet (p) field, which is an innovative paradigm, breaking with the usual approaches of current actual logistic systems. The aim of this new paradigm is to fight the unsustainability symptoms in
Visual-Inertial aided navigation for Micro Aerial Drones – VIMAD
1. Use of the closed-form solution introduced in [1, 2] for the initialization of a filter that fuses visual and inertial measurements; 2. Use of the closed-form solution for the outliers detection; 3. Find the range of validity of the method introduced in [3] and, hopefully, derive the general so
Robust Control of Cyber-Physical Systems – ROCC-SYS
A Cyber-Physical System represents a system of computational elements which are collaborating in order to ensure the coordination, monitoring and control of physical processes. Such systems are typically designed as a network of interacting embedded computers with sensors as physical inputs and actu
Sensor-Based Flying Multi-Robot System – SenseFly
The main challenges are in implementing decentralized cooperative estimation and formation control schemes by only using onboard sensing (vision) and communicaiton, and able to cope with the onboard sensing limitations. We chose quadrotor UAVs because of their low cost, agility, and pervasiveness in
Stochastic approach for navigation functions in uncertain environment – STARGATE
Future air traffic management systems will have to face an increase in the number of flights. A paradigm shift is necessary, with a larger part of the separation task being delegated to aircraft and crews. STARGATE project aims at studying resilient and safe algorithms to answer this requirement,
Spectroscopic Decomposition in Multispectral Images – DSIM
Analysing the kinematics of the galaxy components is a key step for a better understanding of the universe, especially its history and evolution. Indeed, the Doppler effect induces the so-called redshift of the galaxy spectrum: this shift is a measure of the kinematics and, thus, allows to infer on
Adaptive Autonomous Production Platform for Environment – AdAP2E
The execution of works in natural environments is often dangerous and painful, and involves multiple skills. Moreover, human intervention to perform precision tasks is often required, especially to reduce the environmental impact (phytosanitary treatments, pollution, ...). The use of robots may be a
Patch-aware Processing of Surfaces – PAPS
This project aims at taking advantage of recent technological evolutions. Indeed, professional surface acquisition become ever more precise and efficient but remain very expensive while cheap low-resolution scanners have appeared. We aim at devising method to enhance the resolution of low-resolution
Missing Audio Data Inpainting – MAD
Audio inpainting is a recent generic framework for reconstructing missing parts in sounds or in their representations : restoration of old recordings, declipping, spectogram retouching and other modifications are thus achieved using signal processing and machine learning tools. Following a proof of
Graph Signal Processing – GRAPHSIP
Massive datasets have now to be processed in many different application areas. These data are often represented by graphs to encode interactions. When data vectors are associated with graph vertices, a so-called graph signal is obtained. The processing of such graph signals faces several open challe
EMBODYING SOCIO-COMMUNICATIVE BEHAVIORS IN HUMANOID ROBOTS – SOMBRERO
SOMBRERO is a project of social robotics endowing humanoid robots with socio-communicative skills. The project focuses on multimodal behavior of the upper body (speech, gaze, facial expressions, head movements, gestures of the arms and hands, body posture) to manage face-to-face and situated interac
Development of a tool for objective measurements of tactile properties of materials: optimization of plastics manufacturing processes – PlasticTouchDevice
Touch perception is one of the essential sensitive ways for representing our environment. It also plays a key part in industry since touch property is considered to be a major quality criterion for a great deal of current products: pads, smart phones, cars, textiles, cosmetics, leather, food product
Tomographic reconstruction of deformable objects for electron cryo microscopy – RHODES
The study of macromolecule functions in the cell is very usefull to understand cellular life and some viral diseases like AIDS. These functions are linked to the macromolecule 3D structure and to its deformations. Theses deformations correspond to a sequel of states, so called conformations, of the
Self sTratifying Intumescent Coatings – STIC
The general objective of the project is to develop an innovative eco-friendly process to stimulate the fire retardant coating industry considering the self-stratifying coatings.The current approach leads to a multiple step processing with economic consequences. To overcome the drawback of this appro
Assessing structure property relationships of biosourced copolymers – ASPIRE
Due to their limited carbon footprint, polysaccharide-based materials are attractive alternatives to fossil carbon based polymers. However, their mechanical properties are still insufficient for most non-food uses. By combining glyco-enzymology, protein engineering, polymer and material sciences, AS
Optimization of multi-materials joining by linear friction welding for aerospace applications – OPTIMUM
The aim of the OPTIMUM project is to study both experimentally and numerically metal joints produced by linear friction welding (LFW). An original and comprehensive approach which links the welding process parameters, their effects on the microstructure evolution and the consequences on the final us
