A 13th century social network: According to Nature News, a team of French researchers has used medieval documents to create the oldest detailed social network ever constructed. The mathematicians and computer scientists looked through thousands of records of land transactions dating back as far as 1260 in a Southwest part of France. The result of...; Tags: Researcher, France, Network, Analysis, Social Networking, Networking, Online Communications, Marketing, Advertising & Promotion, Roland Piquepaille; Blog posts 2008-05-20
A robotic taxi named robuCAB: According to ICT Results, a EU-funded project named Embounded 'has achieved the twin, and apparently contradictory goals, of making embedded systems both smarter and tougher.' One example is the robuCAB, a '4 seats automated people mover' developed by a French company and built from a 4 wheel-drive electric chassis with...; Tags: Adobe PDF, Embedded System, robuCAB, Robosoft, Roland Piquepaille; Blog posts 2008-03-12

Inserting your virtual copy in a game: French researchers have developed a new system to enable users to insert virtual copies of themselves into video games or on the Web. This system combines high performance video acquisition, computation and graphics rendering. It was introduced last week at SIGGRAPH 2007. This system is called GrImage (for 'grid' and...; Tags: Game, Acquisition, Avatar, Scientist, Video Camera, Video, Camera, Roland Piquepaille; Blog posts 2007-08-18
Bandit-based algorithm to play Go: You know that computers can beat humans at lots of games. But so far, humans are still better than the most powerful systems when playing at Chinese strategy game Go. The reason is simple: computer brute force cannot be used because sequential approaches simply do not work for many reasons....; Tags: Computers &, Internet, Leisure, Science &, Nature; Blog posts 2007-02-26
A virtual approach for clothing design: The latest issue of IEEE Computer Graphics is focused on sketch-based interaction. In "a sketch-based interface for clothing virtual characters (PDF format, 10 pages, 1.61 MB), the publication reports that an international team led by French computer scientists and fashion designers has worked on an intuitive way to design virtual...; Tags: Computers &, Internet, Engineering &, Innovation, Leisure, garment; Blog posts 2007-01-05
USPTO to re-examine JPEG patent: USPTO to re-examine JPEG patentJPEG patent's claim is invalidI personnaly worked between 1985 and 1989 on image compression algorithms in France, long before the JPEG group issued its first standard.
