Introduction au tatouage d’images

In this paper, we introduce the concept of digital watermarking in the field of image security. We describe in detail the most popular form of watermarking, that is to say: invisible and robust for the copyright. We deal with the criteria required to build an efficient watermarking scheme in terms of ratio, visibility and robustness. The necessity or not of using original information to recover the watermark is also addressed. We then present some algorithms, and introduce basic key techniques frequently used. We conclude this article by indicating the current limits of watermarking.     

Le dépôt et la cristallisation d’une couche mince organique au moyen d’un faisceau laser

An original technique to prepare thin organic films is presented. These materials are of interest for integrated optics. Films are formed after scanning of compacted powder of pom (3-methyl 4-nitropyridine 1-oxyd) with continuous wave Ar ion laser. The action of the laser is to evaporate organic molecules from the compact and cristallize them on a supporting substrate. The developments and limits of this technique are discussed.     

Compression de données brutes et d’images de radar à synthèse d’ouverture

This paper draws a state of the art of synthetic aperture radar (sar) data compression. Both raw data and synthesized image compression have been investigated. Compression of radar raw signal and sar image are considered separately since those two cases are specific. Also, Radar raw/image compression remains different from optical image compression and has to be considered with specific strategies that are adapted to the context.     

Codage pour modulation d’amplitude en quadrature à grand nombre d’états avec partition à plusieurs niveaux

We present a new multilevel coding technique for the quadrature amplitude modulation with a high number of states (64-QAM and 256-QAM). The constellation is partitioned into four subsets, two bits coded with the samebch code selecting the label of each subset. We show that our system, with a double error correctingbch code, gives better results, considering redundancy, decoding simplicity and performance, than the systems known bx now (using the Reed-Solomon code (64,62), the Lee-Nakamura and Hamming codes). Preliminary differential encoding of the two coded bits and utilisation of a transparentbch code can solve the phase ambiguity problem in a simple way.     

Potentialités des séquences d’étalement chaotiques pour l’amélioration duTEEB d’un systèmeDS-CDMA asynchrone

The use of chaotic sequences as spectral spreading sequences in a Direct Sequence-Code Division Multiple Access is proposed in this paper. The simulation of the system is performed with the system simulator Omnisys. The chaotic spreading sequences are generated from a non-linear recursive equation. The Bit Error Rate of this system is compared with theBER of the same system using binary Gold sequences. The results show that chaotic sequences can improve performances in terms of allowable number of users.     

Étude temporelle du couplage d’une onde

This paper deals with a temporal approach of interaction between an external electromagnetic wave and an arbitrary multiconductor transmission lines (Mtl). The loads of the circuits can be linear like resistance elements or non linear as is the case of field effect transistor (Mesfet). The numerical technique used is the finite differences time domain (Fdtd) witch givesMtl temporal responses with good stability. Good agreement between the results obtained by the proposed method and those by literature and Spice model verifies the validity of theFdtd algorithm.     

À propos de la conception de systèmes d’aide aux déplacements des déficients visuels

This paper aims to contribute to studies related to visual handicap in order to reduce/eliminate it with new technologies. It addresses shortly the main principle of 3D world human perception, the main rules for environmental pertinent data acquisition and their processing. The proposed state of art on blind people travel assisting aids (taa) allow to understand the requirements for new aids design. A few examples of research project show how solution from new information technologies (such as artificial vision, virtual reality, high densityvlsi, tactile systems, GPS, wireless networks, etc) can be integrated in new systems. These examples allow also to determine which concepts should be targeted when designing any new travel assistance for blind people autonomous and safe displacement, and to characterise new devices.
