Research

 Research Topics

• "Low level" audio descriptors: speech, music, jingles, applauses, etc.
• Multimedia indexing for automatic structuring of audiovisual documents,
• Audio and video association.

 

 Current Research Activities

I currently work on the multimedia indexing: description and structuring of audiovisual contents. I approach in particular the following points:

• Character indexing through the voice and the face (or/and costume),
• Macrosegmentation of documents into sequences (programs),
• Description of the sound environment.

 

 Research Experience

• Master thesis in Computer Science of the Image and the Language (june 2001)

  Audio indexing: Speech / Music / Noise

• PhD thesis in Computer Science and Telecommunications (december 2004)

  Audio Indexing: Primary Components Retrieval for Audiovisual Structuring

• HDR (Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches) (may 2014)

  Segmentations sonore et audiovisuelle ?
