Projet RAPID EVORA

Participant: M.-O. Berger, V. Gaudillière, G. Simon.

This 3-year project is supported by DGA/DGE and led by the SBS-Interactive company. The objective is to develop a prototype for location and object recognition in large-scale industrial environments (factories, ships...), with the aim to enrich the operator's field of view with digital information and media. The main issues concern the size of the environment, the nature of the objects (often non textured, highly specular...) and the presence of repeated patterns. Use cases will be provided by industrial partners such as DCNS and Areva. A class of officer cadets and professors of the Merchant Marine School will also be associated to judge the pedagogical interest of such a tool. A PhD student, Vincent Gaudillière, has been recruited to work on this project and his contract started on 1rst December 2016.

Project funded by GDR ISIS in collaboration with Institut Pascal

Participant: F. Sur.

Since June 2012, we have been engaged in a collaboration with Pr. Michel Grédiac. The aim is to give a mathematical analysis and to help improving the image processing tools used in experimental mechanics at Institut Pascal.

The TIMEX project (2014-2016) is funded by GDR ISIS ("Appel à projet exploratoire, projet interdisciplinaire"). It aims at investigating image processing tools for enhancing the metrological performances of contactless measurement systems in experimental mechanics.

Collaboration with the MIMESIS team

Participants: R. Anxionnat, M.-O. Berger, E. Kerrien.

The SOFA-InterMedS large-scale Inria initiative is a research-oriented collaboration across several Inria project-teams, international research groups and clinical partners. Its main objective is to leverage specific competences available in each team to further develop the multidisciplinary field of Medical Simulation research. Our action within the initiative takes place in close collaboration with both the MIMESIS team and the Department of diagnostic and therapeutic interventional neuroradiology of Nancy University Hospital. We aim at providing in-vivo models of the patient's organs, and in particular a precise geometric model of the arterial wall. Such a model is used by the MIMESIS team to simulate the coil deployment within an intracranial aneurysm. The associated medical team in Nancy, and in particular our external collaborator René Anxionnat, is in charge of validating our results. For three years, we have also been collaborating with the MIMESIS team about real-time augmentation of deformable organs.
