B. Periods of the Career as MCF (Associate Professor)

My career can be divided into three periods: 

1. MCF Beginner (2000-2006): This period corresponds to my beginnings as an Associate Professor in which:

   1. • • At the teaching level, I had to invest myself in a consequent way at the educational level to set up and/or participate in new courses, set up new training either locally on the Computer Science part of the DEUG Modern Letters and the Professional License Letters, Culture and New Media, either in collaboration with other establishments for the DESS JVMI at Angoulême for which I was involved in all stages from its conception to its operation.

        • At the research level, I made a thematic conversion going from 3D multi-vision to the detection of moving objects in videos. I also had a very active participation in the project entitled Aqu@thèque as a member of this project and I thus participated in the work of a thesis. I was also one of the two promoters of the confidential content sailing project which concerned an America Cup team and in this context I obtained a CIFRE grant for the supervision of a thesis.

2. MCF Junior (2006-2012): This period is more balanced in terms of teaching and research with the following highlights:

   1. • • At the teaching level, the transition from DESS JVMI to Master JVMI requiring a redesign of the model, the recruitment of professional speakers and many trips to Angoulême.

        • At the research level, a fruitful collaboration with LEPTIAB giving rise to Bonus Quality Research funding and 2 publications, and the start of supervision of two thesis on detection of moving objects respectively by a fuzzy approach and robust PCA by low rank and sparse matrix decomposition. During this period, I also made a change of laboratory from L3i to MIA with a group of 9 people (3 PR, 6 MCF) for reasons of restructuring of local laboratories.

3. MCF Mid-Career (2012-in progress): This period is very active at the research level with:

   1. • • Supervisions of three thesis including a thesis jointly supervised with South Korea over the period 2013-2016, and identically over the period 2017-2020.

        • Numerous publications (34 in 2013-2016, 36 in 2017-2020) in international conferences and journals of rank A.

        • Edition of two books at CRC Press in 2014 and 2016.

        • Organization of three special issues in international journals (IEEE, MVA, PRL) over the period 2013-2016, and seven special issues (ACM TOM, IEEE JSTSP, Proceedings of IEEE, PRL, etc.) over the period 2017-2020.

        • Organization of two workshops at international conferences at ICIAP 2015 and ICCV 2015 over the period 2013-2016, four workshops at IEEE ICCV 2017, IEEE ICCV 2019, IEEE ICIP 2020 and IEEE WiSEE 2020 over the period 2017-2020, and five worshops at IEEE ICCV 2021 (2), ISVC 2023 (1), and  IEEE ICIP 2024 (2) over the period 2021-2024.

        • Writing and presentation of my HDR in 2014.
