VIAMASS
-
Abstract: VIAMASS is a ERC Starting grant project coordinated by Hervé Jégou and with Teddy Furon as co-investigator. The goal of the project is to automatically discover visual links within a very large collection of images. These “visual hyper-links” will connect the objects across the images of the collection. This raises a major obstacle with respect to scalability: cross matching all the images is of quadratic complexity when performed with a brute-force approach. To this end, VIAMASS addresses issues at the frontier of the current state of the art in computer vision and signal processing.
Forensic Image Identifier and Analyzer

Abstract: FIIA is an innovative software service for the Forensic market that automatically identifies and analyzes the content of images on web sites and seized computers. The service saves time and money, gathers better evidence, and builds stronger court cases. We are in charge of helping with the technology needed to identify the logos from terrorist organizations that are inserted in images or videos. Challenges are related to the poor resolution and small size of logos as well as to the very strict efficiency constraints that the logo detector must match.
