(closed) Master Project: Representation of color-depth data using wavelets on weighted undirected graphs
Deadline for sending applications: 30 November 2013. Project proposed by Radu Horaud, Marianne Clausel, and Georgios Evangelidis. The most successful image representation frameworks are based on the detection and localization of interest points, or keypoints [1]. Interest points are present in an image whenever the local image structure is rich, e.g., presence of edges or …

(closed) Two Master Projects: Binocular Vision for Humanoids and Humans
Deadline for sending applications: 30 November 2013. Project proposed by Georgios Evangelidis and Radu Horaud. The PERCEPTION team at INRIA investigates stereoscopic vision. Over years we have studied the geometry of binocular vision, e.g., [1] and developed several stereo matching algorithms based on seed-growing [2,3,4]. The seed-growing principle is very simple: sparse disparities owing to …

Microphone Array Processing: Algorithms & Applications, by Sharon Gannot
Tuesday, September 24, 2013, 4:00 to 5:00, room F107, INRIA Montbonnot by Sharon Gannot, Bar-Ilan University, Israel Abstract. A major challenge in modern acoustic communication systems is the acquisition of a sound of interest. In the last decade, the use of multiple microphones has shown to provide significant advantages compared to the use of a single …

(closed) Master Project: Audiovisual Diarization for Human-Robot Interaction
Deadline for sending applications: 30 November 2013. Project proposed by Laurent Girin and Radu Horaud. The PERCEPTION team at INRIA investigates audiovisual scene analysis for a humanoid robot. In particular, the team is interested in implementing advanced “social skills” on the consumer robot NAO (http://www.aldebaran-robotics.com/fr/). The challenge is to provide NAO with both perceptual and motor …

The HUMAVIPS project (2010-2013)
The PERCEPTION team has recently completed the EU ICT-FP7 STREP project HUMAVIPS (http://humavips.inrialpes.fr). HUMAVIPS (Humanoids with Audio and Visual Abilities in Populated Spaces) was a three year project coordinated by Radu Horaud and composed of the following partners: INRIA, Cech Technical University, Aldebaran Robotics, Bielefeld University, and IDIAP. The objective of HUMAVIPS has been to endow humanoid robots …

The CAVA dataset
The CAVA database is a unique set of audiovisual recordings using binocular and binaural camera/microphone pairs both mounted onto a person’s head. The database was gathered in order to develop computational methods and cognitive models for audiovisual scene analysis, as part of the European project POP (Perception on Purpose, FP6-IST-027268). The CAVA database was recorded …

IEEE/ACM ICMI’11: Outstanding Paper Award!
The article “Finding Audio-Visual Events in Informal Social Gatherings” received the “Outstanding Paper Award” (best paper) at the IEEE/ACM 13th International Conference on Multimodal Interaction (ICMI’11), Alicante, Spain, November 2011. The paper is authored by Xavi Alameda-Pineda (INRIA), Vasil Khalidov (IDIAP), Radu Horaud (INRIA) and Florence Forbes (INRIA). The paper addresses the problem of detecting and localizing …
