Multimodal 2D Image to 3D Model Registration via a Mutual Alignment of Sparse and Dense Visual Features
2018
International audience; Many fields of application could benefit from an accurate registration of measurements of different modalities over a known 3D model. However, aligning a 2D image to a 3D model is a challenging task and is even more complex when the two have a different modality. Most of the 2D/3D registration methods are based on either geometric or dense visual features. Both have their own advantages and their own drawbacks. We propose, in this paper, to mutually exploit the advantages of one feature type to reduce the drawbacks of the other one. For this, an hybrid registration framework has been designed to mutually align geometrical and dense visual features in order to obtain …
Evaluating State-Based Intention Recognition Algorithms against Human Performance
2014
In this paper, we describe a novel intention recognition approach based on the representation of state information in a cooperative human-robot environment. We compare the output of the intention recognition algorithms to those of an experiment involving humans attempting to recognize the same intentions in a manufacturing kitting domain. States are represented by a combination of spatial relationships in a Cartesian frame along with cardinal direction information. Based upon a set of predefined high-level states relationships that must be true for future actions to occur, a robot can use the approaches described in this paper to infer the likelihood of subsequent actions occurring. This wo…
Enforcing Conceptual Modeling to improve the understanding of human genome
2010
It is widely accepted that the use of Conceptual Modeling techniques in modern Software Engineering leads to a more accurate description of the problem domain. The application of these techniques in the context of challenging domains as the human genome is a fascinating task. The relevant biological concepts should be properly addressed through the creation of the corresponding conceptual schema. This schema will improve the description of the global process followed from a DNA sequence to a fully functional protein. Once the conceptual model is established, the corresponding database is created. The database is intended to act as a unified repository of integrated information that will all…

Information Systems Architecture and Technology: Proceedings of 37th International Conference on Information Systems Architecture and Technology – IS…
2017
This four volume set of books constitutes the proceedings of the 2016 37th International Conference Information Systems Architecture and Technology (ISAT), or ISAT 2016 for short, held on September 18–20, 2016 in Karpacz, Poland. The conference was organized by the Department of Management Systems and the Department of Computer Science, Wrocław University of Science and Technology, Poland. The papers included in the proceedings have been subject to a thorough review process by highly qualified peer reviewers. The accepted papers have been grouped into four parts: Part I—addressing topics including, but not limited to, systems analysis and modeling, methods for managing complex planning envi…
CAD Software and Interoperability
2009
Decisions taken during the conception phases in huge architectural projects influence a lot the cost and the schedule of the building construction. To ease this decision-making, many mock-ups have been used as a project prototype. This prototyping is useful to test and to improve the conception of projects. Nowadays, collaborative sites that appear on the Web greatly improve the flexibility of the framework’s actors of a distant project [Aliakseyeu, Martens, Subramanian, Vrouble, & Wesselink, 2001; Balaguer & DeGennaro, 1996; Klinker, Dutoit, Bauer, Bayes, Novak, & Matzke, 2002). Digital mock-ups are used to represent future 3D elements of the final product. Digital mock-ups are…
Analysis and Validation of Learning Technology Models, Standards and Specifications
2010
The paper presents a model for the analysis, comparison and validation of standards, specifications and in particular reference models in the field of Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL). The Reference Model Analysis Grid (RMAG) establishes categories of reference models and standards. Based on those categories, a set of criteria for the analysis and validation of standards was elaborated as a part of the ICOPER project that aims at interoperable open content for competency-based TEL. The analysis of standards in this context is targeted at developing a set of validated approaches that lead to a new reference model. Four standards were investigated, taking into account a broad range of aspec…
Galaxy-SynBioCAD: Synthetic Biology Design Automation tools in Galaxy workflows
2020
AbstractMany computer-aided design tools are available for synthetic biology and metabolic engineering. Yet, these tools can be difficult to apprehend, sometimes requiring a level of expertise that limits their use by a wider community. Furthermore, some of the tools, although complementary, rely on different input and output formats and cannot communicate with one another. Scientific workflows address these shortcomings while offering a novel design strategy. Among the workflow systems available, Galaxy is a web-based platform for performing findable and accessible data analyses for all scientists regardless of their informatics expertise, along with interoperable and reproducible computat…
Estimation of the Velocity of a Walking Person in Indoor Environments from mmWave Signals
2018
The present work is motivated by the growing interest in using millimeter-wave (mmWave) bands in future wireless indoor communications. For a variety of wireless indoor applications, such as remote medical care, healthcare services, and human-machine interaction, it is of crucial importance to estimate the velocity of walking persons in indoor environments with high precision. In this paper, we present a novel procedure for estimating the velocity of a walking person in indoor environments by using mmWave signals. The indoor environment is considered to be equipped with a distributed $2\times 2$ multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system operating in the 60 GHz band. The proposed approach…
Supporting Autonomy in Agent Oriented Methodologies
2016
Designing a software solution for a complex systems is always a demanding task, it becomes much more complex if we consider to design a multi agent system where agents have to exhibit autonomy; which abstractions and which concepts to take into consideration when using a design methodology we would like to support autonomy? In this paper, we answer this question by studying and analyzing literature on the concept of agents in order to establish the basic set of concepts an agent oriented methodology has to deal with.
