The core of ARTEMIS research activities concerns Digital Imaging Sciences
and Technologies. These technologies pose significant challenges to
economic and academic players who need to design innovative methods and new
services for the information society.
Today, digital imaging covers a broad spectrum of visual data:
2D (radiography, photo, etc.) or 3D (industrial CAD, video game
objects, etc.), static (photos, drawings, etc.) or animated
(videos, dynamic meshes, deformable objects, etc.), natural (from the
physical world) or synthetic (computer-generated),in a fixed or
mobile environment.
ARTEMIS deals with the image chain, from the creation of digital
contents to their transmission.
|
The challenge is to create, model, analyze, index, animate, protect,
manipulate, enrich, encode, distribute and visualize heterogeneous and complex
contents for economically viable emerging services. The main properties and
constraints that need to be mastered are:
|
 |
scalability in the context of very large-scale databases, |
| |
management of asynchronism, |
| |
user-friendly and intuitive interactivity, |
| |
confidentiality and security, |
| |
access by the end-user to his/her usual personalized environment
irrespective of the platform used, |
| |
adaptation of quality of service according to available resources:
transmission, processing, display capacities, etc. |
In order to contribute to this rapidly evolving field, ARTEMIS deploys a wide
range of expertise.
|
| Scientific expertise |
|
 |
This expertise lies in three areas: |
| |
visual content analysis:
modeling, reconstruction, shape / motion / texture segmentation, registration. |
| |
multimedia content enrichment:
indexing, protection, animation, interactivity, augmented reality. |
| |
multimedia content exchange:
compression, transmission, visualization, interoperability. |
|
Mastering the bilateral analysis-exchange, analysis-enrichment,
enrichment-exchange interactions, ARTEMIS owns a global expertise
in the digital image production chain.
|
In recognition of its achievements, ARTEMIS has been awarded the
Marie Curie Training Site label by the European Community.
This label acknowledges the laboratories that combine scientific
reputation with proven experience in doctoral training programs
in a European context.
