Experimental and numerical enhancement of Vibrational Resonance in a neural circuit
2012
International audience; A neural circuit exactly ruled by the FitzHugh-Nagumo equations is excited by a biharmonic signal of frequencies f and F with respective amplitudes A and B. The magnitude spectrum of the circuit response is estimated at the low frequency driving f and presents a resonant behaviour versus the amplitude B of the high frequency. For the first time, it is shown experimentally that this Vibrational Resonance effect is much more pronounced when the two frequencies are multiple. This novel enhancement is also confirmed by numerical predictions. Applications of this nonlinear effect to the detection of weak stimuli are finally discussed.

Dark Count rate measurement in Geiger mode and simulation of a photodiode array, with CMOS 0.35 technology and transistor quenching.
2014
International audience; Some decades ago single photon detection used to be the terrain of photomultiplier tube (PMT), thanks to its characteristics of sensitivity and speed. However, PMT has several disadvantages such as low quantum efficiency, overall dimensions, and cost, making them unsuitable for compact design of integrated systems. So, the past decade has seen a dramatic increase in interest in new integrated single-photon detectors called Single-Photon Avalanche Diodes (SPAD) or Geiger-mode APD. SPAD detectors fabricated in a standard CMOS technology feature both single-photon sensitivity, and excellent timing resolution, while guarantying a high integration. SPAD are working in ava…

Incorporating depth information into few-shot semantic segmentation
2021
International audience; Few-shot segmentation presents a significant challengefor semantic scene understanding under limited supervision.Namely, this task targets at generalizing the segmentationability of the model to new categories given a few samples.In order to obtain complete scene information, we extend theRGB-centric methods to take advantage of complementary depthinformation. In this paper, we propose a two-stream deep neuralnetwork based on metric learning. Our method, known as RDNet,learns class-specific prototype representations within RGB anddepth embedding spaces, respectively. The learned prototypesprovide effective semantic guidance on the corresponding RGBand depth query ima…
Propagation d'informations le long d'une ligne de transmission non linéaire structurée en super réseau et simulant un neurone myélinisé
2019
Non-linear systems are almostly described by partial differential equations that characterize them. We have some systems such as the chain of coupled pebdelums, the protein chain comprising molecules with hydrogen bonds, atomic lattice, and so on .These systems are most often characterized by anharmonic inter particulate interactions and and then immersed in deformable potential substrates. In addition to nonlinearity and dispersion, these other phenomena namely anharmonicity and deformability are responsible for certain properties of propagation of solitary waves such as (compactons, kinks and anti-kinks, peackons, ...etc) and also the ability of the systems to transmit a signal . We used …
Enhancement and assessment of WKS variance parameter for intelligent 3D shape recognition and matching based on MPSO
2016
This paper presents an improved wave kernel signature (WKS) using the modified particle swarm optimization (MPSO)-based intelligent recognition and matching on 3D shapes. We select the first feature vector from WKS, which represents the 3D shape over the first energy scale. The choice of this vector is to reinforce robustness against non-rigid 3D shapes. Furthermore, an optimized WKS-based method for extracting key-points from objects is introduced. Due to its discriminative power, the associated optimized WKS values with each point remain extremely stable, which allows for efficient salient features extraction. To assert our method regarding its robustness against topological deformations,…
Interactive evolution for cochlear implants fitting
2007
International audience; Cochlear implants are devices that become more and more sophisticated and adapted to the need of patients, but at the same time they become more and more difficult to parameterize. After a deaf patient has been surgically implanted, a specialised medical practitioner has to spend hours during months to precisely fit the implant to the patient. This process is a complex one implying two intertwined tasks: the practitioner has to tune the parameters of the device (optimisation) while the patient's brain needs to adapt to the new data he receives (learning). This paper presents a study that intends to make the implant more adaptable to environment (auditive ecology) and…
Deep learning for dehazing: Benchmark and analysis
2018
International audience; We compare a recent dehazing method based on deep learning , Dehazenet, with traditional state-of-the-art approach, on benchmark data with reference. Dehazenet estimates the depth map from a single color image, which is used to inverse the Koschmieder model of imaging in the presence of haze. In this sense, the solution is still attached to the Koschmieder model. We demonstrate that this method exhibits the same limitation than other inversions of this imaging model.
Une architecture programmable de traitement des impulsions zéro-temps mort pour l'instrumentation nucléaire
2015
In the field of nuclear instrumentation, digital signal processing architectures have to deal with the poissonian characteristic of the signal, composed of random arrival pulses which requires current architectures to work in dataflow. Thus, the real-time needs implies losing pulses when the pulse rate is too high. Current architectures paralyze the acquisition of the signal during the pulse processing inducing a time during no signal can be processed, this is called the dead time. These issue have led current architectures to use dedicated solutions based on reconfigurable components such as FPGAs. The requirement of end users to implement a wide range of applications on a large number of …
