The PERCEPTION team is pleased to announce that Radu Horaud was awarded an ERC Advanced Grant for his project “Vision and Hearing in Action” (VHIA). VHIA investigates the fundamentals of audio-visual perception for human-robot interaction. Read an interview (in French) about the concept of social robot that is being developed…
The article “Alignment of Binocular-Binaural Data Using a Moving Audio-Visual Target” received the “Best Paper Award” at the IEEE International Workshop on Multimedia Signal Processing (MMSP’13), Pula, Italy, September-October 2013. The paper is authored by Vasil Khalidov (IDIAP), and co-authored by Radu Horaud (INRIA) and Florence Forbes (INRIA). The paper addresses…
TransforMesh is a C++ function library that provides a mesh-based solution to surface evolution. It takes as input a proper mesh together with a displacement field and it outputs a proper deformed mesh. In order to ensure consistent mesh deformations, it robustly handles topology changes and removes self intersections…..
This is a C++ implementation of a 3D feature detector (MeshDOG) and a 3D feature descriptor (MeshHOG) for uniformly triangulated meshes, invariant to changes in rotation, translation, and scale. Both the detector and the descriptor are able to capture the local geometric and/or photometric properties in a succinct fashion. Moreover,…
Tuesday, October 15, 2013, 2:00 to 3:00, room C207, INRIA Montbonnot by Josep Ramon Casas, Technical University of Catalonia (UPC), Barcelona Abstract. Television, a telecommunication medium for the transmission of moving images and sound (cf.wikipedia). It substantiates the “far sight” concept of its mixed Greek-Latin etymology. But this definition may be misleading….
The PERCEPTION team (Interpretation and Modeling of Images and Sounds) offers a number of Master projects for the academic year 2013-2014. Each project has a duration of 3 to 6 months starting any time in 2014. The selected students will work at INRIA Montbonnot (near Grenoble) and they will receive…
Deadline for sending applications: 30 November 2013. Project proposed by Radu Horaud and Antoine Deleforge. We propose to address the interesting and challenging problem of sound-source localization. A sound source is generally localized using the time-difference of arrival (TDOA) between pairs of microphones. In general, the microphones are arranged in…
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,…
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…
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…
