Research

I conduct my research in the STORM research group, which covers a broad range of Computer Graphics. My activities are structured in different projects and teams (see dedicated websites for more details and publications).

SSLAM (website): My activities on 3d point cloud processing are gathered in the SSLAM project, which aim at developing and demonstrating a framework for the interactive analysis and understanding of acquired 3d point clouds with billions of points, a task that is out of reach of existing techniques. This project is founded by the ANR (French National Research Agency , project page) with the support of the Labex CIMI.

UNREAL (website): I am co-head of the UNREAL research team, which gathers researchers from various fields of computer science and mathematics – including computer graphics, statistics, probabilistic modeling, mathematical optimization, topology of manifolds, varifolds and metrics, image processing, artificial intelligence, computer vision, signal processing – for investigating « Unstructured Data Analysis ». This team is founded by the Labex CIMI.

MCGRad (website): In collaboration with researchers of the EDStar consortium, we work on models and tools speeding up Monte Carlo algorithms for the physical simulation of radiative transfer, by studying and exploiting the geometrical properties of the physical data.
