Contributions dans le domaine de l'analyse multirésolution de maillages surfaciques semi-réguliers. Application à la compression géométrique

The goal of this work is to find solutions for the compression and the visualization of surface meshes at different levels of details. the first part is focused on static meshes, the second part is focused on dynamic meshes, used to represent 3D animations.L’objectif de cette thèse de doctorat est de proposer des solutions aux problèmes de compression et d’affichage de maillages surfaciques à plusieurs niveaux de détails. La première partie est réservée à l’étude des maillages statiques. La deuxième partie, elle concerne l’étude des maillagesdynamiques, où nous détaillons les solutions proposées pour les objets 3D animés

Exploiting Spatio-Temporal Coherence for Video Object Detection in Robotics

This paper proposes a method to enhance video object detection for indoor environments in robotics. Concretely, it exploits knowledge about the camera motion between frames to propagate previously detected objects to successive frames. The proposal is rooted in the concepts of planar homography to propose regions of interest where to find objects, and recursive Bayesian filtering to integrate observations over time. The proposal is evaluated on six virtual, indoor environments, accounting for the detection of nine object classes over a total of ∼ 7k frames. Results show that our proposal improves the recall and the F1-score by a factor of 1.41 and 1.27, respectively, as well as it achieves a significant reduction of the object categorization entropy (58.8%) when compared to a two-stage video object detection method used as baseline, at the cost of small time overheads (120 ms) and precision loss (0.92).</p
