Research Activities

My research interests includes multidimensional signal and image processing (especially high dimensional data), machine learning, kernel methods and data fusion with application to remote sensing and landscape ecology.

Project

  • 2015-2016: TOSCA Projet CES OSO. Funded by the CNES, it concerns the definition and the implementation of operational processing chain to derive products of land cover and land used at the national scale. This project is led by Jordi Inglada.
  • 2015-2018: MUESLI Project (MUltiscale mapping of Ecosystem Services by very high spatial resolution hyperspectraL and LiDAR remote sensing Imagery). Funded by the Toulouse University, which provides 220 k€ financial support to this 3-years.
  • 2013-2017: ANR ASTERIX. Funded by the ANR (French National Research Agency) in the program JCJC (Young Researchers), which provides a 275 k€ financial support to this 4-year initiative (2013-2017). This project is led by Sébastien Lefèvre.
  • 2013-2014: AMOR (Analyse d’iMages de télédétection à grande dimension tempORelle). Funded by the GDR ISIS. In collaboration with R. Flamary, S. Valero-Valbuena and M. Dalla Mura.
  • 2013-2016: ANISETTE (ANalyse fonctionnelle d’Images à grande dimension SpEcTrale et TemporellE : application à la caractérisation des éléments semi-naturels en écologie du paysage). Co funded by the CNES and the Midi-Pyrénées region . In collaboration with M. Goulard from the DYNAFOR lab and F. Ferraty and P. Vieu from the IMT.
  • 2012-2013: CARNAGE (CARactérisation d’éléments semi-NAturels dans les images satellitaires pléiades pour la Gestion de l’Environnement), project supported by the INP Toulouse. In collaboration with M. Goulard from the DYNAFOR lab and F. Ferraty and P. Vieu from the IMT.
  • 2011-2012: SMI - INP Toulouse. Visiting scholar at the University of Iceland, Reykjavik, Iceland.
