Francois Bremond

François Brémond is a Researcher in the ORION Team at INRIA Sophia Antipolis. He obtained his M.S. degree in 1992 at ENS Lyon. He has conducted research works in video understanding since 1993 both at Sophia Antipolis and at University of Southern California (USC), La. In 1997, he obtained his Ph.D. degree at INRIA in video understanding and pursued his research work as a postdoctorate student at USC on the interpretation of videos taken from unmanned airborne vehicle (UAV) in DARPA Project visual surveillance and activity monitoring (VSAM). He designs and develops generic systems for dynamic scene interpretation. The targeted class of applications is the automatic interpretation of indoor and outdoor partially structured scenes observed in particular with monocular color cameras. These systems detect and track mobile objects, which can be either human beings or vehicles, and recognize their behaviors. He is particularly interested in filling the gap between sensor information (pixel level) and behaviour recognition (semantic level). He is the author or coauthor of more than 30 scientific papers published in international journals or conferences in video understanding. He has cosupervised several Ph.D. theses. He has participated in several European projects and industrial research contracts.
