Outstanding facts
Jean-François Dufourd was the Director of the LSIIT during 8 years (1997-2004). He is a member of the "Conseil National des Universités" 27th section since 2004.
Specifications and proofs in geometry : Jean-François Dufourd launched this original topic around the proof of geometrical objects properties and derivation of geometric algorithms validated to be correct. He conceived and validated in Coq an optimal colored planar images segmentation algorithm using a structural induction on the combinatorial hyper-maps and he contributed to the proof in Coq of the "théorème du genre" d'Euler-Poincaré's formula for closed and oriented combinatorial surfaces (and polyhedra) using a structural induction on the hyper-maps. Contraintes : Pascal Schreck headed the Specific Action "Modélisation géométrique sous contraintes" (Constrained geometric modeling) of the CNRS in 2003-2004. Since 2006, its internationalization is established through the co-organization - with Dominique Michelucci and Xiao-Shan Gao - of a dedicated session to constraints and geometrical reasoning which is part of the conference ACM SAC (Symposium on Applied Computing).
Visualization : The recruitment of Jean-Michel Dischler was a renewal of the research works in realistic visualization at LSIIT and he initiated the activity in scientific visualization by participating to the INRIA project CALVI which started in January 2003. Concerning IGG's group, this project relates to scientific visualization, fluid and plasma simulation. At a regional level, Jean-Michel Dischler is the initiator of a projet concerned with the digitalization and the la visualization of works of art in collaboration with HOLO3. His national recognition is demonstrated by his vice-presidency of the EG french chapter and his international recognition from his participation to the program committee of the international conference EUROGRAPHICS (2002-2006).
Virtual Reality : Dominique Bechmann is at the origin of virtual reality activities at LSIIT and she largely contributed to the installation of a virtual reality platform at CECPV at UDS (Université de Strasbourg). At the regional level of "Alsace", she is the coordinator of the theme "Image et Réalité Virtuelle" (Image and Virtual Reality) of the State-Region Plan "Pôle Image" (200 k€, 2000-2006) and of the theme "Réalité Virtuelle" (Virtual Reality) of "Pôle Imagerie et Robotique Médicale et Chirurgicale" (550 k€, 2007-2013). She also contributed to the installation of a virtual reality platform at the "Région Alsace" in 2007. At a national level, she was a member of the pilot committee of RTP n°7 "Réalité virtuelle, synthèse d'images et visualisation" (Virtual reality, image synthesis and visualization) of the CNRS STIC (2002-2005) and she was secretary (2007) of the "Association Française de Réalité Virtuelle et Réalité Augmentée" (French Virtual and Augmented Reality Association) created in 2005. IGG's team organized the "semaine de la réalité virtuelle" in 2005 in Strasbourg jointly with "les journées de l'AFIG" and the 2nd colloquium France-Asia in Virtual Reality. At an international level, Dominique Bechmann headed a projet STIC CNRS-INRIA-MAE France-Asia in virtual reality [3-Bec06] during 2 years (2004-2006).
Medical applications : IGG's group created several projects directed to medical applications : START "Région Alsace" project 2004-2005 (Dominique Bechmann, Caroline Villard), BQR CASPER in 2004 (Pascal Schreck, Caroline Villard), ATIP CNRS CASPER2 in 2005 (Caroline Villard), IRCAD-ODYSSEUS contract 2004-2007 (Jean-Michel Dischler), International Project MERLION 2006-2007 (Sylvain Brandel), "ANR Masse de données VORTISS" 2007-2010 (Pascal Schreck) and participates actively to PPF IRMC 2005-2008 preceded by EPML IRMC 2001-2004. Participation to the European project STREP PASSPORT 2008-2010 with IRCAD.
Awards : Caroline Villard obtained the « Cum Laude Poster Award » at SPIE Medical Imaging 2004 and Marc Fournier obtained the « Best Student Paper Award » at the conference CGI’07.
Scientific production : 70 publications in peer-reviewed international or national journals or peer-reviewed international conferences during the quadriennal (2005-2008).
