Olena: a generic image processing library

Olena.jpg

Olena is a platform dedicated to image processing and pattern recognition. Its core component is a generic and efficient C++ library called Milena. Milena provides a framework to implement simple, fast, safe, reusable and extensible image processing tool chains. The library provides many ready-to-use image data structures (regular 1D, 2D, 3D images, graph-based images, etc.) and algorithms. Milena's algorithms are built upon classical entities from the image processing field (images, points/sites, domains, neighborhoods, etc.). This design allows image processing developers and practitioners to easily understand, modify, develop and extend new algorithms while retaining the core traits of Milena: genericity and efficiency.

Vaucanson: a finite state machine manipulation platform

Vcsn-logo.png

Vaucanson is a finite state machine manipulation platform, consisting of a library and tools implemented on top of it. It benefits from the expertise we gained from our intensive work on high performance generic programming for Olena. On the other hand, its theoretical well-foundedness in the area of automata is ensured thanks to a collaboration with Jacques Sakarovitch, at Télécom ParisTech, and with Sylvain Lombardy at the Laboratoire Bordelais de Recherche en Informatique. About ten years after its first inception, the project is taking a new start with the Vaucanson 2 effort. This complete redesign aims at keeping the successful parts of its predecessor (especially genericity and large feature set) while addressing its shortcomings (compile-time and runtime efficiency, the flexibility).

Spot: a model checking library

Spot is an object-oriented model checking library written in C++. It offers a set of bricks to experiment with and develop your own model checker based on transition-based generalized Büchi automata. Spot was born in the MoVe team at LIP6 and is now co-maintained by the LRDE.

Speaker ID: Speaker's Voice Print

The Speaker Recognition team is working on Machine Learning solutions applied to Speaker Recognition tasks. We propose statistical representations of speech signal which are more robust to the problem of session and channel variabilities.

Keywords:

  • Speaker Recognition
  • Total Variability Space (TV, I-Vectors)
  • Joint Factor Analysis (JFA)
  • Cosine Distance Scoring (CDS)
  • SVM and Kernel Tricks (GSV, NAP, ...)

Climb: a generic image processing library written in Lisp

The Climb team of the laboratory has chosen to focus on the persistent question of performance and genericity, only from a different point of view. The purpose of this research is to examine the solutions offered by languages other than C++, dynamic languages notably, and Lisp in particular. The Climb project aims at investigating the same domain as Olena, but starting from an opposite view.

Funded projects

Aware of its youth and its small size, the laboratory has grown slowly among different calls for proposals and participates today in projects of all types: French Interministerial Fund FUI with the help of the Competitiveness Clusters Systematic and cap-digital, ANR, projects funded by bpifrance, by the national Cancer Institute, and European projects.

Tiger Compiler: a Tiger compiler written in C++ 2011

The Tiger Compiler project is a C++ implementation of a Tiger compiler. The Tiger language is described by Andrew Appel in his "Modern Compiler Implementation" books, and constitutes an important project in the EPITA curriculum.

It includes subprojects:

HAVM: An interpreter for Andrew Appel's Tiger "Tree" Intermediate Language

Nolimips: A MIPS-based simulator with "infinitely many registers"

MonoBURG: A code-generator generator based on a tree-rewriting system
