Challenging Issues in Face Recognition
This paper provides a concise & up-to-date review of research efforts in face recognition techniques based on 2D and 3D images. Recent research has also demonstrated that the fusion of different imaging modalities and spectral components can improve the overall performance of face recognition. The majority of face recognition methods have been developed by scientists with a very technical background such as biometry, pattern recognition and computer vision methods using 3D shape applied to data embodying facial expressions. Different strategies to deal with expressions are presented. The underlying concepts and practical issues relating to the application of each strategy are given, without going into technical details. The discussion clearly articulates the justification to establish archival, reference databases to compare and evaluate different strategies
VSG image processing and analysis (VSG IPA) toolbox
The VSG TOOLBOX is a free MATLAB compatible image processing and analysis toolbox which provides high level access to a wide range of image processing and analysis algorithms. This toolbox requires MathWorks' MATLAB 7.1 or later BUT DOES NOT REQUIRE the MathWorks' Image Processing Toolbox. This report outlines the mechanism by which you can interface MATLAB with the VSG IPA toolbox functions.

ModĂ©lisation et asservissement du dĂ©collage vertical dâun drone aquatique Ă voilure fixe
Les nouvelles applications des petits drones volants prolifÚrent grùce à leur récent gain
de popularité. Un désavantage majeur de ces appareils est leur court temps de vol. Il est
possible dâallonger la durĂ©e dâune mission dâun petit drone en effectuant une sĂ©rie de vols
intermittents, possibles si lâappareil se pose sur un plan dâeau pour se recharger grĂące
Ă lâĂ©nergie solaire. La capacitĂ© de fonctionner dans les airs et sur lâeau ouvre Ă©galement
de nouveau champs dâapplication, comme les patrouilles maritimes et des suivis Ă©cologiques.
Lâappareil dĂ©veloppĂ© Ă lâUniversitĂ© de Sherbrooke, le SUWAVE, vise Ă combiner
les avantages des petits drones volants à ceux des modÚles hybrides, aquatiques et aériens.
Contrairement Ă dâautres avions aquatiques, le SUWAVE effectue un dĂ©collage vertical
Ă partir de lâeau. Le prĂ©sent projet de recherche vise Ă mieux comprendre la dynamique
dâune telle manoeuvre afin de concevoir le contrĂŽle appropriĂ© pour garantir son succĂšs,
malgré les perturbations du vent et des vagues
