Hand Gestures Recognition and Tracking
2013
In this project we develop a system that uses low cost web cameras to recognise gestures and track 2D orientations of the hand. This report is organized as such. First in section 2 we introduce various methods we undertook for hand detection. This is the most important step in hand gesture recognition. Results of various skin detection algorithms are discussed in length. This is followed by region extraction step (section 3). In this section approaches like contours and convex hull to extract region of interest which is hand are discussed. In section 4 a method is describe to recognize the open hand gesture. Two additional gestures of palm and fist are implemented using Haar-like features. …
Smart Network Selection and Packet Loss Improvement during Handover in Heterogeneous Environment
2013
BEST PAPER AWARD; International audience; Seamless Handover between networks in heterogeneous environment is essential to guarantee end-to-end QoS for mobile users. A key requirement is the ability to select the next best network. Currently, the implementation of the IEEE 802.21 standard by National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) considers only the signal strength as a parameter to determine the best network. In this paper, we propose including additional parameters such as available bandwidth, mobile node speed and type of network during selecting a new network to improve the QoS for mobile user's application. The results of the experiments that we performed using Network Sim…
Integrated Fuzzy Solution for Network Selection using MIH in Heterogeneous Environment
2013
ISSN: 1942-2644; International audience; Seamless handover between networks in heterogeneous environment is essential to guarantee end-to- end QoS for mobile users. A key requirement is the ability to select seamlessly the next best network. Currently, the implementation of the selection algorithm of the IEEE 802.21 standard by National Institute of Standards and Technology considers only the signal strength as a parameter to select the best destination network. In this paper, we improve the implementation of the existing selection algorithm by proposing an integrated solution to select the best destination network. Our proposed solution consists of proposing a Multi Criteria Selection Algo…
IP-Based Mobility Management and Handover Latency Measurement in heterogeneous environments
2017
International audience; One serious concern in the ubiquitous networks is the seamless vertical handover management between different wireless technologies. To meet this challenge, many standardization organizations proposed different protocols at different layers of the protocol stack. The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) has different groups working on mobility at IP level in order to enhance mobile IPv4 and mobile IPv6 with different variants: HMIPv6 (Hierarchical Mobile IPv6), FMIPv6 (Fast Mobile IPv6) and PMIPv6 (Proxy Mobile IPv6) for seamless handover. Moreover, the IEEE 802.21 standard provides another framework for seamless handover. The 3GPP standard provides the Access Netw…
Handicap : quand l'archéologie nous éclaire
2018
National audience; Découvrir la place des handicapés dans les sociétés d'hier pour réfléchir à leur place dans la société d'aujourd'hui. Quel était le quotidien d’un individu handicapé ? Était-il pris en charge par les siens ? Rejeté ? Soigné ? Accompagné ? Appareillé ? Aujourd'hui, les progrès de l'archéologie permettent une lecture de plus en plus précise de cette prise en charge des infirmes, des « corps différents », des estropiés, des faibles ou des malades. Et une réflexion collective sur l'accueil de la différence dans les sociétés qui nous ont précédés... qui peut nourrir les débats actuels sur la place du handicap dans nos sociétés contemporaines.
Characterization of the metal artefacts of the two craft-quarters of the roman vicus Bliesbruck (Moselle)
2014
Diese Arbeit ist ein vollständiges Studium der Metallfunde aus den zwei Handwerkervierteln von Bliesbruck (Moselle, Frankreich). Diese Funde stammen aus vierzigjahrelangen Ausgrabungen. Das Korpus besteht aus 450 Kg Metall (Eisen, Kupferlegierungen, weisse Metalle, Gold) wovon 4 200 Objekte und 22 000 Nägel. Eine Objekt- und Funktionsidentifizierung und eine typologische Nägelzahl haben es ermöglicht, die Objektverbindungen wieder zusammenzusetzen und die Daten nach verschiedenen Kriterien einander gegenüberzustellen : Metall, Lage (Viertel und Grundstück), Chronologie und Befundnummertyp. Diese Datenüberfülle und -verschiedenheit ermöglichen das Korpus nach vielartigen geographischen Maβst…
Digital and handcrafting processes applied to sound-studies of archaeological bone flutes
2016
International audience; Bone flutes make use of a naturally hollow raw-material. As nature does not produce duplicates, each bone has its own inner cavity, and thus its own sound-potential. This morphological variation implies acoustical specificities, thus making it impossible to handcraft a true and exact sound-replica in another bone. This phenomenon has been observed in a handcrafting context and has led us to conduct two series of experiments (the first-one using handcrafting process, the second-one using 3D process) in order to investigate its exact influence on acoustics as well as on sound-interpretation based on replicas. The comparison of the results has shed light upon epistemolo…
Handcrafting in archaeomusicological research
2016
There were no conference proceedings but you may find video recordings of some of the talks by following the link above; International audience; Archaeological flutes, as sound artefacts, both stand in material and immaterial culture. They are made of tremendous subtleties that archaeologists have a hard time to understand while these are craftsmen's everyday life. These subtleties are the link between material (rough material, tools, gestures) and immaterial (sounds, music, timber, uses) issues. They are the reason why archaeology cannot study ancient sound instruments on its own. A one-year insight experience of apprenticeship alongside a traditional-flute-maker (Jean-Daniel Talma, ElBock…

Quelle(s) échelle(s) pour étudier l’intégration des personnes handicapées sur le marché du travail aux États-Unis ? Proposition d’études de cas new-y…
2022
Dans cet article, nous revenons sur la question des variations d’application de droits sociaux aux États-Unis. Il s’agit, au travers d’une étude de cas s’intéressant à l’insertion des personnes handicapées sur le marché du travail, de saisir comment l’échelle de la ville permet de répondre au mieux aux nouvelles aspirations de déségrégation des individus. L’exemple pris est celui d’organisation à but non lucratif spécialisée dans cet enjeu et opérant à New-York et Boston.
