Visit by the new president of the Japan Science and Technology Agency to ANR
The new President of the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST), Dr. Michiharu Nakamura, made his introductory visit to the French National Research Agency on Thursday 20th March 2012. The importance of the ANR-JST collaboration was reiterated during the visit, as shown in particular by the success of the joint calls for proposals launched in the field of Information and communication science and technology as well as by the Flash call for proposals launched in 2011 following the earthquake in Fukushima. No Franco-Japanese call will be launched in the framework of ANR’s 2012 programme planning, however several collaboration tracks were envisaged to relaunch ANR-JST collaboration in 2013: staff exchange in order to compare the operating mode of both agencies; and the launching of at least one annual call for proposals in one of the three identified fields of common interest: green innovation and energy; life science; and ICT and their usages.
Visions of Policing: How Visual Technologies Shape Police Oversight and Training – VoP
New visual technologies including body-worn and cellphone cameras have led to previously unprecedented access to police conduct. Public reaction to the ‘new visibility’ of use-of-force, crowd control
Vision based automatic Landing of a passenger aircraft – Visioland
Although its duration represents only 4% of an average flight, the landing phase is certainly one of the most critical. Most major airports are now equipped with dedicated ground facilities (ILS / GPS) providing assistance to the pilot and thus increasing security. But these expensive devices are not always available in medium-sized airports. In addition, in a large majority of situations, emergency landings have to be performed without any ground support.
Vision Through Weather – SIGHT
Computer Vision is the cornerstone of outdoor applications but most algorithms are still designed to be working in clear weather. The visual artefacts caused by complex adverse weather such as rain, s
Visible-Light Driven Synthesis of Semiconducting Polymers – PhotoSynth
There is a growing interest in conjugated polymers, now found in most organic electronic devices. However, their preparation most of the time relies on precious metal catalysed reactions with poor ato
