Ivan Laptev: Advancing Computer Vision
Ivan Laptev is one of the four INRIA candidates selected for a European Research Council (ERC) grant in the young researchers category 2012. His subject, “Computer Vision”, aims to mimic the human visual system thanks to algorithms that analyse motion, detect events and recognise objects in video sequences. He explains his work to us in more detail and outlines some potential applications.

Survey
How much do French people understand of the digital world?
Health, industry, transport, agriculture, communication, the environment… no field has escaped the profound impact of digital sciences and technology – inventions that are moulding the contours of a “New World” today. This daily reality, at once invisible, diverse and omnipresent, raises a fundamental question: how much do French people understand of the digital world in which they live?
