The fusion-fission process in the reaction 34S+186W near the interaction barrier
2014
International audience; The reaction 34S + 186W at Elab=160 MeV was investigated with the aim of diving into the features of thefusion-fission process. Gamma rays in coincidence with binary reaction fragments were measured using the high efficiencygamma-ray spectrometer ORGAM at the TANDEM Accelerator facility of I.P.N., Orsay, and the time-of-flight spectrometerfor fission fragments (FF) registration CORSET of the Flerov Laboratory of Nuclear Reactions (FLNR), Dubna. The couplingof the ORGAM and CORSET setups offers the unique opportunity of extracting details for characterizing the fusion-fissionprocess and gives information regarding production of neutron-rich heavy nuclei. The FF-$\gamm…
Multi-sensor spectral synergies for crop stress detection and monitoring in the optical domain: A review
2022
Remote detection and monitoring of the vegetation responses to stress became relevant for sustainable agriculture. Ongoing developments in optical remote sensing technologies have provided tools to increase our understanding of stress-related physiological processes. Therefore, this study aimed to provide an overview of the main spectral technologies and retrieval approaches for detecting crop stress in agriculture. Firstly, we present integrated views on: i) biotic and abiotic stress factors, the phases of stress, and respective plant responses, and ii) the affected traits, appropriate spectral domains and corresponding methods for measuring traits remotely. Secondly, representative result…
Multi-modal biometric authentication systems
2010
The main goal of a biometric system is to discriminate automatically subjects in a reliable and dependable way, accordingly to a specific target application. The discrimination is based on one or more types of information derived from physical or behavioural traits, such as fingerprint, face, iris, voice, hand, or signature. Applications of biometrics range from homeland security and border control to e-commerce and e-banking, including secure networking and authentication. Traditionally, biometric systems working on a single biometric feature, have many limitations, such as, trouble with data sensors, where captured sensor data are often affected by noise, distinctiveness ability, because …
Enabling Technologies on Hybrid Camera Networks for Behavioral Analysis of Unattended Indoor Environments and Their Surroundings
2008
This paper presents a layered network architecture and the enabling technologies for accomplishing vision-based behavioral analysis of unattended environments. Specifically the vision network covers both the attended environment and its surroundings by means of multi-modal cameras. The layer overlooking at the surroundings is laid outdoor and tracks people, monitoring entrance/exit points. It recovers the geometry of the site under surveillance and communicates people positions to a higher level layer. The layer monitoring the unattended environment undertakes similar goals, with the addition of maintaining a global mosaic of the observed scene for further understanding. Moreover, it merges …
An optimized algorithm of image stitching in the case of a multi-modal probe for monitoring the evolution of scars
2013
International audience; We propose a new system that makes possible to monitor the evolution of scars after the excision of a tumorous dermatosis. The hardware part of this system is composed of a new optical innovative probe with which two types of images can be acquired simultaneously: an anatomic image acquired under a white light and a functional one based on autofluorescence from the protoporphyrin within the cancer cells. For technical reasons related to the maximum size of the area covered by the probe, acquired images are too small to cover the whole scar. That is why a sequence of overlapping images is taken in order to cover the required area. The main goal of this paper is to des…
Recommandation de parcours de formation dans un contexte mobile
2013
National audience; Les récentes avancées dans les technologies de l'information et de la communication ont vu naître de nouvelles formes d'enseignement. L'apprentissage à distance classique s'enrichit et se transforme pour donner jour à un apprentissage plus flexible, accessible sur de multiples supports, à toute heure et en tout lieu : l'apprentissage mobile. Nos travaux portent sur la conception d'un système de recommandation basé sur le contenu, modélisé en utilisant les technologies du web sémantique. La recommandation prendra en compte l'objectif de formation, mais également les supports disponibles pour dispenser cette formation, les préférences personnelles de l'apprenant, ou encore …
Multi-modality of polysomnography signals’ fusion for automatic sleep scoring
2019
Objective: The study aims to develop an automatic sleep scoring method by fusing different polysomnography (PSG) signals and further to investigate PSG signals’ contribution to the scoring result. Methods: Eight combinations of four modalities of PSG signals, namely electroencephalogram (EEG), electrooculogram (EOG), electromyogram (EMG), and electrocardiogram (ECG) were considered to find the optimal fusion of PSG signals. A total of 232 features, covering statistical characters, frequency characters, time-frequency characters, fractal characters, entropy characters and nonlinear characters, were derived from these PSG signals. To select the optimal features for each signal fusion, four wi…
