MOVEMENT
-
Project title: AutoMatic BiOmetric Verification and PersonnEl Tracking for SeaMless Airport ArEas Security MaNagemenT
-
Other partners: SAGEM (FR), Inria Sophia-Antipolis (FR), EGIDIUM (FR), EVITECH (FR) and CERAPS (FR)
-
Abstract: MOVEMENT is focusing on the management of security zones in the non public airport areas. These areas, with a restricted access, are dedicated to service activities such as maintenance, aircraft ground handling, airfreight activities, etc. In these areas, personnel movements tracking and traceability have to be improved in order to facilitate their passage through the different areas, while insuring a high level of security to prevent any unauthorized access. MOVEMENT aims at proposing a new concept for the airport's non public security zones (e.g. customs control rooms or luggage loading/unloading areas) management along with the development of an innovative supervision system prototype.
SafEE
-
Project title: Safe & Easy Environment for Alzheimer Disease and related disorders
-
Other partners: Nice Hospital(FR), Nice University (CobTeck FR), Inria Sophia-Antipolis (FR), Aromatherapeutics (FR), SolarGames(FR), Taichung Veterans General Hospital TVGH (TW), NCKU Hospital(TW), SMILE Lab at National Cheng Kung University NCKU (TW), BDE (TW)
-
Abstract: SafEE project aims at investigating technologies for stimulation and intervention for Alzheimer patients. More precisely, the main goals are: (1) to focus on specific clinical targets in three domains behavior, motricity and cognition (2) to merge assessment and non pharmacological help/intervention and (3) to propose easy ICT device solutions for the end users. In this project, experimental studies will be conducted both in France (at Hospital and Nursery Home) and in Taiwan.
ENVISION
-
Project title: Computer Vision for Automated Holistic Analysis of Humans
-
Abstract: The main objective of ENVISION is to develop the computer vision and theoretical foundations of efficient biometric systems that analyze appearance and dynamics of both face and body, towards recognition of identity, gender, age, as well as mental and social states of humans in in the presence of operational randomness and data uncertainty. Such dynamics - which will include facial expressions, visual focus of attention, hand and body movement, and others, constitute a new class of tools that have the potential to allow for successful holistic analysis of humans, beneficial in two key settings: (a) biometric identification in the presence of difficult operational settings that cause traditional traits to fail, (b) early detection of frailty symptoms for health care.
FUI
Visionum
-
Other partners: Inria(Stars), StreetLab, Fondation Ophtalmologique Rothschild, Fondation Hospitaliere Sainte-Marie.
-
Abstract: This French project from Industry Minister aims at designing a platform to re-educate at home people with visual impairment.
StoreConnect
-
Other partners: Inria(Stars), STIME (groupe Les Mousquetaires (Paris)), Smile (Paris), Thevolys (Dijon).
-
Abstract: StoreConnect is an FUI project started in 2016 and will end in 2018. The goal to improve the shopping experience for customers inside supermarkets by adding new sensors such as cameras, beacons and RFID. By gathering data from all the sensors and combining them, it is possible to improve the way to communicate between shops and customers in a personalized way. StoreConnect acts as a middleware platform between the sensors and the shops to process the data and extract interesting knowledge organized via ontologies.

Abstract:This project is based on the use of motor imagery (MI), a cognitive process consisting of the mental representation of an action without concomitant movement production. This technique consists in imagining a movement without realizing it, which entails an activation of the brain circuits identical to those activated during the real movement. By starting rehabilitation before the end of immobilization, a patient operated on after a trauma will gain rehabilitation time and function after immobilization is over. The project therefore consists in designing therapeutic video games to encourage the patient to re-educate in a playful, autonomous and active way in a phase where the patient is usually passive. The objective will be to measure the usability and the efficiency of the reeducative approach, through clinical trials centered on two pathologies with immobilization: post-traumatic (surgery of the shoulder) and neurodegenerative (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis).
