On improving the accuracy of Visible Light Positioning system based PAPR reduction schemes
2020
International audience; DC-biased optical Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (DCO-OFDM)-based visible light positioning (VLP) technology along with the Received Signal Strength(RSS) positioning algorithm is widely used to achieve centimeter level positioning accuracy for incoming 5G era, especially indoor environment. However, the DCO-OFDM has the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) issue which imposes the nonlinear distortion and it will directly affect the positioning accuracy in the VLP system. The PAPR reduction scheme is urgently needed. Therefore , in this paper, the impact of PAPR reduction scheme on positioning accuracy is investigated. The positioning accuracy with and witho…
Developing a framework for designing humanitarian blockchain projects
2021
International audience; Blockchain technology promises to improve the efficiency, transparency, and accountability of humanitarian operations. Yet at the same time, especially the humanitarian context with its characteristic volatility poses unique challenges to any technology. Most prominent are the humanitarian principles that are fundamental to humanitarian operations. These ethical principles are set to protect the most vulnerable populations. Designing blockchain projects in the humanitarian context therefore requires a systematic framework that helps humanitarians make critical choices.While some design instructions can be found for commercial applications, the humanitarian context re…
Visual and acoustic techniques for motorcycle collision warning system with EEG validation
2018
In many countries, motorcyclist fatality rate is much higher than that of other vehicle drivers. Among many other factors, motorcycle rear-end collisions are also contributing to these biker fatalities. Collision detection systems can be used to minimize these fatalities. However, most of the existing collision detection systems do not identify the type of potential hazard faced by motorcyclists. Every collision warning system used a distinctive collision detection technique, which limits its performance and makes it imperative to study its effectiveness. Unfortunately, no such work has been reported in that particular domain for motorcyclists. Therefore, it is important to study the physio…
Improving IoT Communications Based on Smart Routing Algorithms
2018
International audience; Due to the recorded success by Internet of Things (IoT) technology, more and more domains use it as a communications and exchange network such as e-health, smart cities, vehicles, etc. IoT don’t stop integrating an important number of components and objects that are characterized by their complexity and heterogeneity. Such constraints make the existing routings protocols unsuitable for IoT communications. To accomplish all the expected tasks and satisfy the user services, it is important to guarantee a quality of communication that answers to the requirements of the various applications in terms of data and processing (availability, integrity, efficiency, etc.). The …

Many practical tasks in industry, such as automatic inspection or robot vision, often require scanning of three-dimensional shapes with non-contact techniques. However, transparent objects, such as those made of glass, still pose difficulties for classical scanning techniques. The reconstruction of surface geometry for transparent objects is complicated by the fact that light is transmitted through, refracted and in some cases reflected by the surface. Current approaches can only deal relatively well with sub-classes of objects. The algorithms are still very specific and not generally applicable. Furthermore, many techniques require considerable acquisition effort and careful calibration. T…
Electrophysiological Effects of Direct Electrical Stimulations During Awake Brain Surgery: Methodological Considerations
2015
International audience; IRECT electrical stimulation (DES) has long been used to perform real-time functional mapping of the brain. More recently, this technique was introduced in the neurosurgery of slow-growing and infiltrative brain tumors to guide the resection with great success. By generating transient perturbations, this method allows the real-time identification of both cortical areas and subcortical networks that are essential for the function. Thus, as much as possible, non-functional tissue can be removed while minimizing the sequelae. However, the understanding of the electrophysiological effects of DES and, in particular its remote propagation, remains an open and key question.…

Towards automated and operational forest inventories with T-Lidar
2011
International audience; Forest inventory automation has become a major issue in forestry. The complexity of the segmentation of 3D point cloud is due to mutual occlusion between trees, other vegetation, or branches. That is why, the applications done until now are limited to the estimation of the DBH (Diameter at Breast Height), the tree height and density estimation. Furthermore other parameters could also be detected, such as volume or species of trees (Reulke and Haala) . . . This paper presents an effective approach for automatic detection, isolation of trees and DBH estimation. Tree isolation is achieved using an innovative approach based on a clustering methodology followed by a skele…
