TELESIGN
Object-based video compression To answer the needs of the deaf and hearing impaired community, the Telesign project aims at proposing pre-competitive technological solutions for transmitting, at an affordable cost for the end-user, conversations in sign language over ISDN networks. Here, the technological lock lies in jointly accounting for such constraints as low bitrate (64 … Continue reading
TAMUSO
Multimedia watermarking for mobile telephony With the rapid development of 3G mobile telephony, operators need to offer operational solutions to protect copyright related to multimedia contents distributed on nomadic terminals. In this context, the TAMUSO project (TAtouage Multimédia et ses Usages dans les réSeaux mObiles – Multimedia watermarking and its applications in mobile networks) is … Continue reading
SEMANTIC-3D
Remote maintenance services for car industry The leading French car manufacturer, RENAULT wants to develop and exploit an information and communication system compliant with heterogeneous nomadic environments, to bring into operation new remote consultation, assistance and maintenance services. To respond to these requirements, the RNRT SEMANTIC-3D project is aimed at proposing new approaches for (de)coding … Continue reading

Interactive TV at the crossroads – Next turn: Object-oriented TV From a strategic point of view, the content creation industry is today confronted with the assessment and validation of new economic models for interactive digital TV (i-DTV). From a technological perspective, however, i-DTV is still waiting for powerful and efficient tools for managing enriched … Continue reading
RMOD
Morphofunctional simulation of airways In 2005, significant progress was made within the context of the RNTS R-MOD project, concerning the 3D reconstruction and functional exploration of the airways. The results concern, the first simulations of air flow within the bronchial network and, secondly, the development of new tools for 3D segmentation and analysis of the … Continue reading
MULTISPECTRAL COMPRESSION
Multiple data compression To answer the needs related to the transmission, processing and archiving of multispectral images for the next generation of SPOT satellites, this project aims at elaborating efficient lossless and quasi-lossless data compression algorithms, optimally exploiting the redundancy between spectral bands. A comparative litterature review to identify a reference reversible compression technique … Continue reading
MICA
Video-On-Demand services over ADSL With MPEG-4, a significant advance in terms of audiovisual usage and consumption has been made allowing a triple play (Internet, Telephone and Television) service subscriber to two audiovisual programs over a single ADSL line. The objective of the RIAM MICA-ADSL project is to demonstrate that it is possible to: develop and … Continue reading
HAPATIC VIEW
Computer-aided preoperative assessment of liver vessels Launched in 2005 as a joint research partnership with APHP – Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital (Central Radiology Department), the Hepatic View study deals with the automated segmentation of hepatic vessels during various perfusion phases in CT imaging. The derived information is then exploited for computer-assisted pre-operative planning, both for healthy donors … Continue reading
CARDIOMETER
Quantitative analysis and modeling of myocardial function in MRI Cardio-vascular diseases are the leading cause of mortality in industrialized countries, and therefore a major public health challenge. As a result of intensive technological developments, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is today recognized as a relevant modality for dynamically imaging the heart anatomy and function, and … Continue reading
BRAINVIEW
Quantitative assessment of neuro-degenerative diseases & brain poly-trauma in CT The BrainView project aims at developing advanced tools for (1) quantitative assessment of the brain structures, (2) anatomical and dynamical modelling of the cerebral ageing process, (3) estimation of the blood-brain barrier permeability, and (4) evaluation of anti-oedemic therapies for advances in the knowledge and … Continue reading
