Bilateral Contracts with Industry

Toyota: (Action Recognition System): This project runs from the 1st of August 2013 up to 2019. It aimed at detecting critical situations in the daily life of older adults living home alone. The system is intended to work with a Partner Robot (to send real-time information to the robot) to better interact with the older adult. The funding was 106 Keuros for the 1st period and more for the following years.

Gemalto: This contract is a CIFRE PhD grant and runs from September 2018 until September 2021 within the French national initiative SafeCity. The main goal is to analyze faces and events in the invisible spectrum (i.e., low energy infrared waves, as well as ultraviolet waves). In this context models will be developed to efficiently extract identity, as well as event - information. These models will be employed in a school environment, with a goal of pseudo-anonymized identification, as well as event-detection. Expected challenges have to do with limited colorimetry and lower contrasts.

BluManta: This contract is a CIFRE PhD grant and runs from August 2018 to August 2021. The aim is to develop an end-to-end 3D face analysis model, involving a unified deep neural network in charge of (a) creating a depth map, (b) extracting embeddings, (c) embeddings similarity estimation. This model will be targeted for high accuracy in tasks such as face authentication.

Kontron: This contract is a CIFRE PhD grant and runs from April 2018 until April 2021 to embed CNN based people tracker within a video-camera.

ESI: This contract is a CIFRE PhD grant and runs from September 2018 until March 2022 to develop a novel Re-Identification algorithm which can be easily set-up with low interaction.
