The polarization of the BSC(γ 1 ) with a BSC(γ 2 ) is characterized explicitly for γ 1 , γ 2 ∈ [0, 1/2]. The polarization yields a channel W - which is a BSC(λ), and a channel W + which is composed of a BSC(ξ) with probability 1 -...
On plenoptic sub-aperture view recovery
RESEARCH PAPER / Sep 2016 / Optics, Light Field, Image Processing, Computer Vision
Light field imaging is recently made available tothe mass market by Lytro and Raytrix commercial cameras.Thanks to a grid of microlenses put in front of the sensor, aplenoptic camera simultaneously captures several images of thescene under different viewing angles, providing an enormousadvantage for post-capture applications,e.g., depth estimationand image refocusing. In...
Predicting the effect of home Wi-Fi on Web QoE
RESEARCH PAPER / Aug 2016 / Wireless Communications, Machine/Deep Learning/AI
Wi-Fi is the preferred way of accessing the Internet for many devices at home, but it is vulnerable to performance problems. The analysis of Wi-Fi quality metrics such as RSSI or PHY rate may indicate a number of problems, but users may not notice many of these problems if they...
Flicker Forensics for Camcorder Piracy
RESEARCH PAPER / Aug 2016 / Security, Content Protection
Camcorder piracy refers to the process of using a camcorder to record a screen that displays copyrighted content. In contrast to the previous works that aimed at detecting the occurrence of camcorder piracy, this paper conducts an in-depth study of the luminance flicker that is naturally present in camcorded videos...
Impact of Screencasting on Video Temporal Synchronization
RESEARCH PAPER / Aug 2016 / Security, Content Protection
Spatio-temporal desynchronization remains a major challenge for watermarking system as it could impair the detection of the hidden payload. Over the years, several (non-blind) registration techniques have been proposed to realign the analyzed content prior to watermark detection and thereby achieve robustness against severe attacks such as display-and-camcord. Such techniques...
Smartening up the City - New technologies promise a breakthrough for efforts to improve urban living
WHITE PAPER / Jul 2016 / IoT, SmartCities
In practice, making existing cities smart is proving hard. Many different stakeholders need to be involved, while sensors, controls and connectivity can be difficult to install in dense urban environments. In response, some cities are now experimenting with low cost, low power Internet of Things technologies that could usher in...
Introducing Basic Principles of Haptic Cinematography Editing
RESEARCH PAPER / Jul 2016 / Immersive/AR/VR/MR, Haptics, Human Machine Interface
Adding the sense of touch to hearing and seeing would be necessary for a true immersive experience. This is the promise of the growing "4D-cinema" based on motion platforms and others sensory effects (water spray, wind, scent, etc.). Touch provides a new dimension for filmmakers and leads to a new...
Generic drone control platform for autonomous capture of cinema scenes
RESEARCH PAPER / Jun 2016 / Immersive/AR/VR/MR, Production Workflow
The movie industry has been using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles as a new tool to produce more and more complex and aesthetic camera shots. However, the shooting process currently rely on manual control of the drones which makes it difficult and sometimes inconvenient to work with. In this paper we address...
Retro-ingénierer les métriques topologiques dans les algorithmes de peer-ranking
RESEARCH PAPER / May 2016 / Machine/Deep Learning/AI, Network & Communications
Détecter au plus tôt les utilisateurs importants dans les réseaux sociaux est un problème majeur. Les services de classement d'utilisateurs (peer ranking) sont maintenant des outils bien établis, par des sociétés comme PeerIndex, Klout ou Kred. Leur fonction est de ``classer'' les utilisateurs selon leur influence. Cette notion est néanmoins...
Automated Cinematography with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
RESEARCH PAPER / May 2016 / Immersive/AR/VR/MR, Production Workflow
The rise of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and their increasing use in the cinema industry calls for the creation of dedicated tools. Though there is a range of techniques to automatically control drones for a variety of applications, none have considered the problem of producing cinematographic camera motion in real-time for...
Frugal Topology Construction for Stream Aggregation in the Cloud
RESEARCH PAPER / Dec 2015 / Network & Communications
Aggregation of streamed data is key to the expansion of the Internet of Things. This paper addresses the problem of designing a topology for reliably aggregating data flows from many devices arriving at a datacenter. Reliability here means ensuring operation without data loss. We seek a frugal solution that prevents...
Congestion-aware MAC Layer Adaptation to Improve Video Teleconferencing over Wi-Fi
RESEARCH PAPER / Apr 2015 / Wi-Fi, MAC, congestion-aware
In wireless networks such as those based on IEEE 802.11, packet losses due to fading and interference are often misinterpreted as indications of congestion, causing unnecessary decrease in the data sending rate due to congestion control at higher layer protocols. For delay-constrained applications such as video teleconferencing, packet losses may...

The Future of Video Distribution
WHITE PAPER / Feb 2015 / Video Distribution
An examination of the value chain that drives video is necessary to understand and examine the future of video distribution. Operators, broadcasters or platforms that either produce or aggregate content, pay for video distribution with revenues generated directly by consumers or via advertising. In the past five years, consumer expectation...
