Match Normalization: Learning-Based Point Cloud Registration for 6D Object Pose Estimation in the Real World

In this work, we tackle the task of estimating the 6D pose of an object from point cloud data. While recent learning-based approaches have shown remarkable success on synthetic datasets, we have observed them to fail in the presence of real-world data. We ...

Wave-momentum shaping for moving objects in heterogeneous and dynamic media

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Bakhtiyar Orazbayev, Matthieu Francis Malléjac, Stefan Rotter

Light and sound waves can move objects through the transfer of linear or angular momentum, which has led to the development of optical and acoustic tweezers, with applications ranging from biomedical engineering to quantum optics. Although impressive manip ...

Combination of dielectrophoretic and hydrodynamic traps for the controlled contact between cells or beads and application to adhesion assays

Clémentine Sophie Sarah Lipp

Multicellular organisms require very well organized and finely balanced cell-cell communication, adhesion and coordination to ensure the organisms homeostasis. These functions rely on specialized receptors placed at the cells membrane whose binding to thei ...

Signal strength and integrated intensity in confocal and image scanning microscopy

Giorgio Tortarolo

The properties of signal strength and integrated intensity in a scanned imaging system are reviewed. These prop-erties are especially applied to confocal imaging systems, including image scanning microscopy. The integrated intensity, equal to the image of ...

Between digital and territorial turns: A forking path

Elena Cogato Lanza, Chiara Cavalieri

This chapter looks at the intertwined evolution of two different ideas throughout the past century: that of ‘territory’, that has been reshaped and redefined in the field of architecture and urbanism, and that of ‘digital’, that while becoming dominant, ha ...

Effects of item distinctiveness on the retrieval of objects and object-location bindings from visual working memory

Yury Markov

Visual working memory (VWM) is prone to interference from stored items competing for its limited capacity. Distinctiveness or similarity of the items is acknowledged to affect this competition, such that poor item distinctiveness causes a failure to discri ...

Opacité et transparence dans le design d'un dispositif de surveillance urbain : le cas de l'IMSI catcher

Félicien Michel Marie Goguey

This thesis assesses the surveillance operated on the mobile phone network by governmental actors (intelligence agencies, police, army) and the relationship between monitored spaces and their users. Indeed, some new surveillance devices used by intelligenc ...

Audio-Visual Object Classification For Human-Robot Collaboration

Andrea Cavallaro

Human-robot collaboration requires the contactless estimation of the physical properties of containers manipulated by a person, for example while pouring content in a cup or moving a food box. Acoustic and visual signals can be used to estimate the physica ...
