The Parallel Architecture Laboratory of the LETI, composed of 18 peoples, develops embedded architectures dedicated for data processing system and applications around image processing, computer vision, 3D reconstruction and photogrammetric techniques.

A photogrammetric system dedicated to the 3D modelling of industrial installations has been developed in this Laboratory. This system is being linked with a Computer Aided Design System and is being transferred to photogrammetric company. Now this team is focused on the use of photogrammetry to capture cultural objects. It participates in a national project PRIAMM, to elaborate a new system based on laser range finders and a digital video camera, which will be suitable for the 3D modelling of large monuments, such as Cathedrals. The aims are to generate cultural heritage models.

Dr. Thierry Collette

Thierry Collette was born in 1965. He received a PhD in the field of microelectronics at the Institute Polytechnic of Grenoble in 1992. In 1992, he was involved in parallel computer design team in LETI, in 1995 he became project leader for parallel computer design. Since 2000, he took the responsibility of the Parallel Architecture Laboratory. The research interests of this team concern the design of embedded computer, such as parallel and reconfigurable computers, and the image processing, from the 2D processing, the 3D photogrammetry, and the image and video indexing.

Dr. Sylvie Naudet

Sylvie Naudet was born in 1970. She completed her PhD in the field of Computer Vision at the French Atomic Energy Commission in 1997. Since then, she has been working on research and development projects related to image processing and computer vision at the Electronics, Technology and Instrumentation Laboratory of the Atomic Energy Commission (CEA-LIST Paris). Her major fields of research include computer vision, 3D reconstruction, tracking of object motion, image processing related to photogrammetric systems. She actually works on projects aiming at developing a system dedicated to the 3D modelling of industrial installations using video images.

Dr. Patrick Sayd

Patrick Sayd was born in 1969. He received a PhD in the field of Computer Vision at the Blaise-Pascal University (LASMEA - Clermont-Ferrand - France) in 1996. He joined the CEA-LIST in 1998. Engineer in computer vision and Member of the French Pattern Recognition and Interpretation Association (AFRIF), his present activities lead on development of computer vision tools to model 3D industrial plant.
