Un systĂšme interactif d'aide Ă la construction d'applications de traitement d'images
Dans le cadre de la mise au point d'applications de traitement d'images, nous proposons un systÚme d'aide fondé sur la modélisation et l'explicitation de la démarche du traiteur d'images. Les traitements à effectuer y sont représentés sous une forme compréhensible et modifiable par l'utilisateur (enchaßnements d'opérateurs sous forme de plans), dans un souci de réutilisation de parties entiÚres de traitement. L'organisation de ce systÚme repose sur une modélisation naturelle des connaissances sous forme de Tùches, Méthodes et Outils. La construction et l'exécution des plans de traitement d'images s'effectuent via une interface graphique qui facilite l'expérimentation de diverses techniques sur une image
Empirical model for rapid macroseismic intensities prediction in Guadeloupe and Martinique ModÚle empirique pour la prédiction rapide des intensités macrosismiques en Guadeloupe et Martinique
International audienceWe describe a simple model for prediction of macroseismic intensities adapted to Guadeloupe and Martinique (Lesser Antilles), based on a combination of peak ground acceleration (PGA) predictive equation and a forward relation between acceleration and intensity. The PGA predictive equation is built from a 3-parameter functional form constrained by measurements from permanent accelerometer stations, mostly associated with Les Saintes crustal earthquake (21/11/2004, Mw = 6:3) and its many aftershocks. The forward intensity model is checked on a database of recent instrumental events of various origins with magnitudes 1.6 to 7.4, distances from 4 to 300 km, and observed intensities from I to VIII. Global sigma residual equals 0.8 in the MSK scale, suggesting a larger applicability range than the intermediate PGA predictive equation. The model is presently used by the French Lesser Antilles observatories to produce automatic reports for earthquakes potentially felt

Noeud A VOLCANO de RESIF : bilan et perspectives
Knot A VOLCANO is part of the RESIF research infrastructure information system and concentrates seismic data from the three volcanological and seismological observatories of the Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris. These observatories operate short-seismological stations-analogical period, short-digital three-component period, medium-digital band and digital wideband. These data are used for monitoring regional volcanic and land-based activity, as well as tsunami warning. The poster presents the results at the end of 2017 and the prospects for this knot A.The French Seismological and Geodetic Network RESIF is a national research infrastructure dedicated to the observation and understanding of the structure and dynamics of the Internal Earth. RESIF is based on high-tech observation networks, composed of seismological, geodetic and gravimetric instruments deployed in a dense manner throughout France. The data collected make it possible to study with high spatial and temporal resolution the deformation of the ground, surface and deep structures, seismicity on a local and global scale and natural hazards, and more particularly seismic events, on French territory. RESIF is integrated into European (EPOS - European Plate Observing System) and global systems of instruments for imaging the Earth's interior as a whole and studying many natural phenomena.Le nĆud A VOLCANO fait partie du systĂšme d'information de l'infrastructure de recherche RESIF et concentre les donneÌes sismiques des trois observatoires volcanologiques et sismologiques de l'Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris.

Mapping of the seismic tsunami intensity along the coast of Martinique, Lesser Antilles
International audienceThe tsunami hazard in Martinique due to local, regional and distant seismicity is investigated. Former deterministic scenarios are processed. They were proposed elsewhere based on historical records and the analysis of the morpho-tectonics of the area, i.e., two local subduction scenarios of magnitudes Mw 7.5 and Mw 8.0 representative of the local 1839 earthquake, the regional Mw 7.2-7.5, 1867 Virgin Island event, along with the distant Mw ~8.5, 1755 Lisbon earthquake. The tsunami runup and currents are simulated and analyzed. Then, a recent tsunami intensity index is applied and discussed. The modeling of the regional 1867 scenario shows negligible impact on the coast of Martinique which could explain the lack of direct observations in Martinique. Despite a difference of one unit magnitude between the local Mw 7.5 and the distant Mw ~8.5 earthquakes, it is found that their tsunami signature for Martinique is nearly equivalent. The local Mw 8.0 event thus controls the tsunami hazard in the island. In the case of this tsunami, whose source is at the east, the western side of the island is not impacted because of wave refraction. Eastward, the coral reef barrier also inhibits tsunami impacts in some sites. Interestingly, it is shown that most of the potentially inundated areas are mangroves that are already subject to daily tidal flooding and seasonal cyclonic activity. They represent an efficient protection against tsunamis. Four occupied locations are however exposed to severe inundation (horizontal penetration of hundreds of meters)

Physical characteristics and triggering mechanisms of the 2009â2010 landslide crisis at Montagne PelĂ©e volcano, Martinique: implication for erosional processes and debris-flow hazards
International audienceAbstract Flank destabilizations are common processes in the life of a volcano. Apart from giant landslides with recurrence times of tens of thousands of years and whose deposits are identified in the bathymetry around the islands, less voluminous but more frequent erosional landslides contribute significantly to the morphological development of the topography. In this paper, we present a detailed description of a landslide sequence that occurred in 2009 and 2010 on the western flank of Montagne Pelée volcano, originating at the Samperre cliff. This sequence is characterized by two main events, in August 2009 and May 2010, and hundreds of smaller collapses. From seismic data and high resolution topographic data from airborne Lidar, collapses are counted and volumes of the main events are estimated. The May 2010 landslide has removed 2.1 millions of m3 of debris, which were subsequently remobilized during several hazardous lahars. The mean rates of erosion deduced from these volumes indicate that this kind of erosional landslide could represent a long term contribution of the same order of magnitude as giant flank collapses. The characterization of the runout of the landslides and of the Samperre cliff slopes provide important information for risk assessment, in particular for the risk of lahars that threaten the population living on the lower slopes
