Département Artemis

Nicolas Rougon received an Engineer Degree in Telecommunications and a Ph.D. in Signal and Image Processing from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Télécommunications, Paris, France (today known as TELECOM ParisTech), respectively in 1989 and 1993. In 1994, he joined the Signal & Image Processing Department at TELECOM SudParis as an assistant professor, and became in 1998 an associate professor within the ARTEMIS Department.

¬ Research activities

His research interests include variational and PDE methods, hybrid statical-variational techniques, mathematical morphology, differential geometry, and physical modelling for computer vision. The emphasis is set on multiscale image and shape representations, and identification of deformable structures and motions in dynamic imaging. From an applicative point of view, his interests are currently focused on anatomical and functional modeling of the heart in multimodal medical imaging.

¬ Institutional activities

From 1995 to 2001, Nicolas Rougon has been in charge with the Working Group on Dynamical Deformable Models (GT4) within the CNRS Research Network on "Information - Signal - Image - viSion" (GDR ISIS). He is now a member of the Board of ISIS, acting as a coordinator of the Shape - Motion - Scene Structure Thema, and ensuring liaison with the Board of the CNRS Research Network on "IST-Health" (GDR STIC-Santé). Moreover, he is in the charge with the Specific Action on "Non Rigid Registration" (AS RNR) linked to the Interdisciplinary Thematic Network (RTP) on "Imaging, computer vision and scene analysis" (RTP 25) of the "Information and Communication Sciences & Technologies " (STIC) Department of CNRS. He is also involved in the Specific Action on "Knowledge Integration and Modeling in Medical Imaging" (AS ICoMIM) linked to the Interdisciplinary Thematic Network on "Information and Knowledge Engineering for Health" (RTP 42: I2CS) of the CNRS-STIC Department.
