This thesis focuses on the decisional process of autonomous systems, and more particularly, on the way to take a decision when the time at disposal in order to assess the whole situation is shorter than necessary. Indeed, numerous systems propose solutions ...
A speaker diarization system based on an information theoretic framework is described. The problem is formulated according to the Information Bottleneck (IB) principle. Unlike other approaches where the distance between speaker segments is arbitrarily intr ...
When a figure moves behind a stationary narrow slit, observers often report seeing the figure as a whole, a phenomenon called slit viewing or anorthoscopic perception. Interestingly, in slit viewing, the figure is perceived compressed along the axis of mot ...

We present a scalable medium bit-rate wide-band audio coding technique based on frequency domain linear prediction (FDLP). FDLP is an efficient method for representing the long-term amplitude modulations of speech/audio signals using autoregressive models. ...
Motion estimation (ME) methods based on differential techniques provide useful information for video analysis, and moreover it is relatively easy to embed into them regularity constraints en- forcing for example, contour preservation. On the other hand, th ...
A novel analogue power-efficient 2-D programmable finite impulse response image filter is proposed. This solution is based on the current-mode Gilbert-vector-multiplier operating in the weak inversion region, which allows for ultra low power operation. The ...

We consider lossy source compression of a binary symmetric source with Hamming distortion function. We show that polar codes combined with a low-complexity successive cancellation encoding algorithm achieve the rate-distortion bound. The complexity of both ...
Distributed Video Coding (DVC) is a new paradigm for video compression based on the information theoretical results of Slepian and Wolf (SW) and Wyner and Ziv (WZ). DVC entails low complexity encoders as well as separate encoding of correlated video source ...
Demand has emerged for next generation visual technologies that go beyond conventional 2D imaging. Such technologies should capture and communicate all perceptually relevant three-dimensional information about an environment to a distant observer, providin ...
We report a combined experimental and theoretical study of the compression of a solid foam coated with a thin elastic film. Past a critical compression threshold, a pattern of localized folds emerges with a characteristic size that is imposed by an instabi ...
