1993 Engineer Degree in Computer and Control Science,
1994 DEA in Physical Sciences, 1997 PhD in Computer Vision and Image Processing. From Oct. 92 to Feb. 98, I was appointed as assistant, then associate professor at the Department of Electrical Engineering Laboratoire d'Automatique de l'ENSAM (rubrique CER) of the Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers (CNAM) and the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts et Métiers (Paris). My PhD thesis dealt with dynamic scene analysis and more generally the integration of a vision sensor in closed-loop systems. I considered the problem of modeling and tracking deformables structures in image sequences. I'm currently working on the ESPRIT EP24956 project DiVAN which aims at building and evaluating a distributed audio-visual library system for TV broadcasters and video archives owners. I'm involved for writing the specifications of video and audio data extraction and indexing/retrieval functionalities. I participate to the implementation task, and integration of algorithms devoted to the detection of video shots and progressive transitions, the camera motion characterization, the two-class audio signal segmentation for music-speech-noise detection, and the logo and jingle detection (all of these modules are linked with MPEG decoders). |
