National Initiatives

ANR

ALTA (2011-2015):

MAVERICK, REVES

Leader: N. Holzschuch (MAVERICK)

The project ALTA aims at analyzing the light transport equations and at using the resulting representations and algorithms for more efficient computation. We target lighting simulations, either offline, high-quality simulation or interactive simulations.

“Young Researcher” IM&M (2011-2015):

IRIT

Leader: L. Barthe (IRIT)

This project aims at the definition of simple and robust tools for the modeling of 3D objects. To this end, the proposed approach consists in combining the nice mathematical properties of implicit surfaces with classical meshes.

SeARCH (2009-2013):

PFT3D Archéovision (CNRS), CEAlex (USR CNRS 3134), ESTIA

Leader: P. Reuter

Cultural Heritage (CH) artifacts often come as a set of broken fragments leading to difficult 3D puzzles and sometime impossible to solve in a real world. The project's goal is to propose solutions from on-site acquisition, 3D surface reconstruction and semi-automatic virtual reassembly, taking into account the expertise of CH scientists. This project ended officially in March 2013, and we organized a closing conference and meeting in Bordeaux. We presented the results at "ANR - Les rencontres du numérique de l'ANR" in Paris at April 17th and 18th, 2013.

Competitivity Clusters

LabEx CPU:

IMB (UPR 5251), LABRI (UMR 5800), Inria (CENTRE BORDEAUX SUD-OUEST), I2M (NEW UMR FROM 2011), IMS (UMR 5218), CEA/DAM

Some members of MANAO participate in the local initiative CPU. As it includes many thematics, from fluid mechanics computation to structure safety but also management of timetable, safety of networks and protocols, management of energy consumption, etc., numerical technology can impact a whole industrial sector. In order to address problems in the domain of certification or qualification, we want to develop numerical sciences at such a level that it can be used as a certification tool.
