Competitivity Clusters

mistis is a partner in a three-year (2010-12) MINALOGIC project (I-VP for Intuitive Vision Programming) supported by the French Government. The project is led by VI Technology (http://www.vitechnology.com ), a world leader in Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) of a broad range of electronic components. The other partners involved are the CMM (Centre de Morphologie Mathematiques) in Fontainebleau, and Pige Electronique in Bourg-Les-Valence. The overall goal is to exploit statistical and image processing techniques more intensively to improve defect detection capability and programming time based on existing AOI principles so as to eventually reach a reliable defect detection with virtually zero programming skills and efforts.

ARC Inria

Florence Forbes is coordinating the 2-year Inria ARC project AINSI (http://thalie.ujf-grenoble.fr/ainsi ). AINSI stands for "Modeles statistiques pour l'Assimilation d'Informations de Neuroimagerie fonctionnelle et de perfuSIon cerebrale". The goal is to propose an innovative statistically well-based solution to the joint determination of neural activity and brain vascularization by combining BOLD constrast images obtained in functional MRI and quantitative parametric images (Arterial Spin Labelling: ASL). The partners involved are Visages team from Inria in Rennes and Parietal in Saclay, the INSERM Unit U594 (Grenoble Institute of Neuroscience) and the LNAO laboratory from CEA NeuroSpin.
