Registration of multi-modal and multi-temporal remote sensing images and introduction to novelty detection

Frank Grégoire Jean de Morsier

The database of satellite images covering the earth is growing extremely quickly and represents an important amount of data. The extension of this huge amount of data with images from very different sources and time of acquisition can provide a wide range ...

Technology and Manufacturing of Ultralight Micro Air Vehicles

Jean-Daniel Nicoud, Adam Klaptocz

Recent advances in Micro Air Vehicles have produced impressive results for platform weighing below 50 g. The lightest platforms to take flight with a minimum of functionality are below 0.5 g, but researchers dream of flying at insect size. However many dif ...

Hill-Climbing Attack to an Eigenface-Based Face Verification System

Sébastien Marcel

We use a general hill-climbing attack algorithm based on Bayesian adaption to test the vulnerability of an Eigenface-based approach for face recognition against indirect attacks. The attacking technique uses the scores provided by the matcher to adapt a gl ...

Tracking controllers for small UAVs with wind disturbances: Theory and flight results

Maryam Kamgarpour

This work outlines two approaches for small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) performing surveillance with fixed cameras. Small UAVs present significant control challenges, due to relatively low-bandwidth actuation and significant disturbances due to wind. T ...

Optic flow to control small UAVs

Dario Floreano, Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Antoine Beyeler

Autonomous flight in confined or cluttered environments such as houses or urban canyons requires high manoeuvrability, fast mapping from sensors to actuators and very limited overall system weight. Although flying animals are well capable of coping with su ...

A Generative Model for True Orthorectification

Pascal Fua, Christoph Strecha

Orthographic images compose an efficient and economic way to represent aerial images. This kind of information allows to measure two-dimensional objects and relate these to Geographic Information Systems. This paper deals with the computation of a true ort ...
