Automated Characterization of Mouth Activity for Stress and Anxiety Assessment

2016

International audience; Non-verbal information portrayed by human facial expression, apart from emotional cues also encompasses information relevant to psychophysical status. Mouth activities in particular have been found to correlate with signs of several conditions; depressed people smile less, while those in fatigue yawn more. In this paper, we present a semi-automated, robust and efficient algorithm for extracting mouth activity from video recordings based on Eigen-features and template-matching. The algorithm was evaluated for mouth openings and mouth deformations, on a minimum specification dataset of 640x480 resolution and 15 fps. The extracted features were the signals of mouth expa…

Relating RSS News/Items

2009

Merging related RSS news (coming from one or different sources) is beneficial for end-users with different backgrounds (journalists, economists, etc.), particularly those accessing similar information. In this paper, we provide a practical approach to both: measure the relatedness, and identify relationships between RSS elements. Our approach is based on the concepts of semantic neighborhood and vector space model, and considers the content and structure of RSS news items. © 2009 Springer Berlin Heidelberg.

Apports des réseaux sociaux pour la gestion de la relation client

2014

National audience; Depuis quelques années, le Web s'est transformé en une plateforme d'échanges. La gestion de relation client doit évoluer pour tirer partie des données disponibles sur les réseaux sociaux et mettre l'entreprise au coeur des échanges. Nous proposons dans cet article une approche générique de détection de communautés de clients d'une entreprise, basée sur leur comportement explicite et implicite, intégrant des données de sources diverses. Nous définissons une mesure de similarité, entre un utilisateur et un tag, prenant en compte la notation et la consultation des ressources et le réseau social de l'utilisateur. Nous validons cette approche sur une base exemple en utilisant …

An evaluation framework and a benchmark for multi/hyperspectral image compression

2011

International audience; This paper benchmarks three multi/hyperspectral image compression approaches: the classic Multi-2D compression approach and two different implementations of 3D approach (Full 3D and Hybrid). All approaches are combined with a spectral PCA decorrelation stage to optimize performance. These three compression approaches are compared within a larger comparison framework than the conventionally used PSNR, which includes eight metrics divided into three families. The comparison is carried out with regard to variations in bitrates, spatial, and spectral dimensions variations of images. The time and memory consumption difference between the three approaches is also discussed…

Parameter-free adaptive step-size multiobjective optimization applied to remote photoplethysmography

2018

International audience; In this work, we propose to reformulate the objective function of Independent Component Analysis (ICA) to make it a better posed problem in the context of Remote photoplethysmography (rPPG). In recent previous works, linear combination coefficients of RGB channels are estimated maximizing the non-Gaussianity of ICA output components. However, in the context of rPPG a priori knowledge of the pulse signal can be incorporated into the component extraction algorithm. To this end, the contrast function of regular ICA is extended with a measure of periodicity formulated using autocorrelation. This novel semi-blind source extraction method for measuring rPPG has the interes…

Camera-based measurement of relative image contrast in projection displays

2013

International audience; This research investigated the measured contrast of projection displays based on pictures taken by un-calibrated digital cameras under typical viewing conditions. A high-end radiometer was employed as a reference to the physical response of projection luminance. Checkerboard, gray scale and color complex test images with a range of the projector's brightness and contrast settings were projected. Two local and two global contrast metrics were evaluated on the acquired pictures. We used contrast surface plots and Pearson correlation to investigate the measured contrast versus the projector's brightness and contrast settings. The results suggested, as expected, the proj…

Note sur les classes de similitude

1985

Il est souvent avancé que les pré-ordres flous ne sont pas tous réductibles, c'est-à-dire décomposables en classes de similitude. En d'autres termes, les relations de similitude ne seraient pas, en général, disjointes. (Voir, par exemple, Kaufmann [ 1, page 104] . Contrairement à un résultat bien connu en algèbre ordinaire, selon lequel toute relation d'équivalence détermine une partition du référentiel, une relation de similitude (équivalence floue) déterminerait des sous-ensembles flous qui ne seraient pas nécessairement disjoints. L'objet de cette Note est de démontrer que, sous certaines conditions, les pré-ordres flous sont réductibles. Cette démonstration est apportée dans le cas où l…

Building Anosov flows on $3$–manifolds

2014

We prove a result allowing to build (transitive or non-transitive) Anosov flows on 3-manifolds by gluing together filtrating neighborhoods of hyperbolic sets. We give several applications; for example: 1. we build a 3-manifold supporting both of a transitive Anosov vector field and a non-transitive Anosov vector field; 2. for any n, we build a 3-manifold M supporting at least n pairwise different Anosov vector fields; 3. we build transitive attractors with prescribed entrance foliation; in particular, we construct some incoherent transitive attractors; 4. we build a transitive Anosov vector field admitting infinitely many pairwise non-isotopic trans- verse tori.

HOMFLY-PT skein module of singular links in the three-sphere

2012

For a ring R, we denote by [Formula: see text] the free R-module spanned by the isotopy classes of singular links in 𝕊3. Given two invertible elements x, t ∈ R, the HOMFLY-PT skein module of singular links in 𝕊3 (relative to the triple (R, t, x)) is the quotient of [Formula: see text] by local relations, called skein relations, that involve t and x. We compute the HOMFLY-PT skein module of singular links for any R such that (t-1 - t + x) and (t-1 - t - x) are invertible. In particular, we deduce the Conway skein module of singular links.
