major contribution unification of uncertainty
theories

6
geometric approach

• uncertainty measures can be represented as points
  of a simplex!

7
another example spectral matching

• central problem in vision (and not only) matching

8
spectral matching
they can then be used to match dense shapes by
simply aligning their images after embedding!

A view of the future an integrated multi-camera
framework

• very promising direction in vision multi-camera
  systems

• an integrated, hierarchical framework

multiple views

Contributions to Vista and the Unité de Recherche

• on the methodologies new expertise in fields
  like
• non-Bayesian theories
• spectral methods
• discrete math
• sensor fusion under uncertainty
• on the problems familiarity with applications
  like
• surveillance and identity recognition
• context-aware applications (event detection,
  gesture analysis)
• possible new directions smart rooms, drivers
  behavior
• networking links with groups in computer vision,
  statistics, machine learning imprecise
  probabilities, graph theory
