Research Interests:

My primary research interests are in the development and use of methodologies for parallel programming, especially in the field of image processing. I am particularly interested in the use of functional languages (such as Caml) for fast prototyping of vision applications on dedicated parallel systems.

I am also interested in the implementation of functional programming languages in general and in their relationship with the data-flow execution model in particular.

Projects:

EmBounded: an EU Framework VI Project about Embedded Software

Software samples:

A bunch of extensions for the Camlidl stub code generator
FGN: A Functional Graph Notation System
Scampi: A Simple Caml to MPI interface
CamlG4: A parallel SIMD library for Objective Caml on PowerPC G4 processors
SKiPPER-D: A skeleton-based parallel programming environment based upon macro-dataflow interpretation techniques

Ph.D. Students currently working with me:

Joel Falcou has worked on the design and implementation of parallel vision algorithms
Fabio Dias Real De Oliveira works on the design of methodologies and CASE tools for programming active vision algorithms on FPGA+DSP based hardware platforms.

Teaching:

I teach at Blaise Pascal University (Clermont-Ferrand), mainly in the Electrical Engineering Department of Polytech'Clermont-Ferrand and in the Master Vision for Robotics in the same university. Main topics are :
