Détection d’objets dans des images grand-angle

La detection d’objets est une tache complexe en vision par ordinateur car elle vise a la fois a etablir la localisation et la classification d’objets dans une image. Cette tache devient plus difficile lorsqu’elle est etudiee sur des images capturees par des cameras munies de lentilles « grand-angle ». Ces lentilles offrent des champs de […]

Radar Localization and Integration for Future Autonomous Car Navigation

The purpose of this project is to offer low-cost navigation solutions for autonomous vehicles based on automotive radars that can work efficiently in all weather conditions and degraded vision environments. Radar will be utilized to estimate the vehicle’s relative position. The radar solution will be integrated with the inertial navigation system (INS) solution to limit […]

Quantum annealing of 3D spin glasses with neural network wavefunctions

D-Wave is at the forefront of building quantum annealers, which are quantum computing devices that can potentially solve an important class of problems more efficiently than classical computers. One important goal of D-Wave is to claim that they have attained quantum supremacy, which means they have built a machine that can do something that no […]

Piloting the Transitioning From Volume to Value in Tourism Measurement

One of the sustainability challenges of the tourism sector is that, while there is growing understanding that volume alone is not a determinant of balanced tourism development, the standard indicators used to measure, track and report tourism sector performance are volume-based, i.e., number of arrivals/overnight stays. This issue results in policies, budgets, and strategies that […]
