WSN localization scheme based on Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) for ZigBee Networks
2015
International audience; Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have diverse application domains such as smart home, smart care, industrial, etc. We present a WSN system based on the ZigBee technology (IEEE 802.15.4) in Smart Home. In our paper we interest to ZigBee protocol is often used in medical Rehabilitation, which is a relatively new concept involving wireless transmission of data from the sensors attached to a patient to a distant monitoring station. There is no standardized topology managing the current networks, therefore, we will compare and evaluate the performance the mobility of nodes for star topologies in different scenarios to determine which is the most suitable in a typical hospi…
Couplage visuo-haptique en environnement de conduite simulée
2012
Our visual-haptic system is requested as soon as our arms interact with our external environment. There is a coupling between visual and haptic modalities, so that the central nervous system takes in account the reliability and accuracy of both modalities in order to weigh their influence in the visual-haptic integration. Thus there is a rebalancing of the weight of each modality in the context of the visual-haptic solicitation. Typically, psychophysical studies implement short and repeated tasks, with or without sensory conflict, to understand the mechanisms underlying the visual-haptic coupling. Applied in our context, this method is excluded because we have to maintain the ecological cha…
Approche coopérative pour l'acquisition et l'observation de formes tridimensionnelles
2009
Technologic progres can reduce the barrier between real image and virtual image so far it is really difficult to recognize them. When virtual reality is well done, augmented reality, from virtual world to real world, is still developped. We want to project a virtual texture onto a 3D real object. By using cameras and projector, we estimate its real pose in the virtual reference by projecting a coded pattern to find points of correspondence between cameras and projector onto the textureless object, where common detector of points of correspondence are useless. We combine the calibration of the system and these points to estimate the 3D position of the object, and then register with a fine mo…
Fractional half-tangent of a curve described by Iterated Function Systems.
2009
International audience; The deterministic fractal curves and surfaces find many applications in modeling of rough objects. However, these curves and surfaces are nowhere differentiable. Without notion of tangent, we can not determine the relative orientation of two fractal shapes, to join them with a "natural" aspect. Various works proposed a generalization of the concept of derivative by introducing the fractional derivative. In this paper we apply this concept of fractional derivative to the curves described by Iterated Function Systems. We show that if the fractional derivative exists at boundary points of the curve, the direction of the fractional half-tangent is necessarily the eigenve…
Tangentes à une courbe fractale
2007
http://www.irit.fr/REFIG/index.php/refig/article/view/10; National audience; Nous nous intéressons au calcul des tangentes à une courbe fractale définie à l'aide d'un IFS. Généralement, les courbes fractales sont nulle part dérivables, mais sous certaines conditions on peut montrer qu'elles admettent, en un ensemble de points, des demi-tangentes à droite et à gauche. Nous proposons une méthode permettant de déterminer ces demi-tangentes.
The Hierarchical Agglomerative Clustering with Gower index: a methodology for automatic design of OLAP cube in ecological data processing context
2015
In Press, Corrected Proof; International audience; The OLAP systems can be an improvement for ecological studies. In fact, ecology studies, follows and analyzes phenomenon across space and time and according to several parameters. OLAP systems can provide to ecologists browsing in a large dataset. One focus of the current research on OLAP system is the automatic design of OLAP cubes and of data warehouse schemas. This kind of works makes accessible OLAP technology to non information technology experts. But to be efficient, the automatic OLAP building must take into account various cases. Moreover the OLAP technology is based on the concept of hierarchy. Thereby the hierarchical clustering m…
OPTIMIZATIONS FOR TENSORIAL BERNSTEIN–BASED SOLVERS BY USING POLYHEDRAL BOUNDS
2010
The tensorial Bernstein basis for multivariate polynomials in n variables has a number 3n of functions for degree 2. Consequently, computing the representation of a multivariate polynomial in the tensorial Bernstein basis is an exponential time algorithm, which makes tensorial Bernstein-based solvers impractical for systems with more than n = 6 or 7 variables. This article describes a polytope (Bernstein polytope) with a number of faces, which allows to bound a sparse, multivariate polynomial expressed in the canonical basis by solving several linear programming problems. We compare the performance of a subdivision solver using domain reductions by linear programming with a solver using a c…
A nonlinear oscillators network devoted to image processing
2004
A contrast enhancement and image inverting tool using a lattice of uncoupled nonlinear oscillators is proposed. We show theoretically and numerically that the gray scale picture contrast is strongly enhanced even if this one is initially very small. An image inversion can be also obtained in real time with the same Cellular Nonlinear Network (CNN) without reconfiguration of the network. A possible electronic implementation of this CNN is finally discussed.
Global dynamical behaviors in a physical shallow water system
2016
International audience; The theory of bifurcations of dynamical systems is used to investigate the behavior of travelling wave solutions in an entire family of shallow water wave equations. This family is obtained by a perturbative asymptotic expansion for unidirectional shallow water waves. According to the parameters of the system, this family can lead to different sets of known equations such as Camassa-Holm, Korteweg-de Vries, Degasperis and Procesi and several other dispersive equations of the third order. Looking for possible travelling wave solutions, we show that different phase orbits in some regions of parametric planes are similar to those obtained with the model of the pressure …
Arrangements de cercles sur une sphère: Algorithmes et Applications aux modèles moléculaires representés par une union de boules
2008
Since the early work of Richard et al., geometric constructions havebeen paramount for the description of macromolecules and macro-molecularassemblies. In particular, Voronoï and related constructions have beenused to describe the packing properties of atoms, to compute molecularsurfaces, to find cavities. This thesis falls in this realm, andafter a brief introduction to protein structure, makes fourcontributions.First, using the sweep line paradigm of Bentley and Ottmann, wepresent the first effective algorithm able to construct the exactarrangement of circles on a sphere. Moreover, assuming the circlesstem from the intersection between spheres, we present a strategy to reportthe covering …
