Activities

My research interests include real-time 3D computer vision for multimedia applications and software for image processing. For CNRS research network on Information, Signal, Images & viSion (ISIS), I co-animate a special action on Face, gesture, action and behaviour, and previously animated a thematic operation on Vision for virtual reality (OT 5.4). In 2004, I organized the workshop "Acquisition du geste humain par vision artificielle et applications".

My teaching activities include creating courses units and lectures in image processing, computer vision, multimedia and interaction with virtual humans for graduate and post-graduate students at Telecom SudParis.

Curriculum


I received an Engineer Degree in Physics and Energetics and a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the Institut National Polytechnique de Grenoble (INPG),  France, respectively in 1982 and 1984. I prepared my Ph.D. dissertation at Laboratoire d'Electronique de Technologies et d'Instrumentation (Léti). In 1986, I joined Telecom ParisTech (former ENST) as an Assistant and then as an Associate Professor. In 1995, I joined Telecom SudParis (former Telecom INT). In 2008, I was a visiting scientist at INRIA / MIRAGES.

I am currently with Telecom SudParis in the Electronics and PHysics department (EPH), in the Multimedia interactions group (Intermedia).
