Airborne hyperspectral sensor radiometric self-calibration using near-infrared properties of deep water and vegetation

Bertrand Merminod, Kevin Sylvain Barbieux, Vincent Maurice Nouchi

Retrieving the water-leaving reflectance from airborne hyperspectral data implies to deal with three steps. Firstly, the radiance recorded by an airborne sensor comes from several sources: the real radiance of the object, the atmospheric scattering, sky an ...

Position accuracy with redundant MEMS IMU for road applications

Bertrand Merminod, Pierre-Yves Gilliéron, Jan Skaloud, Philipp Clausen

Traffic problems have mainly resulted from an increase in mobility over the last decades involving an increase in traffic congestion and degradation of environmental conditions. The employment of new systems - namely, Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) is ...

Cell-based Automatic Deformation Computation by Analyzing Terrestrial LIDAR Point Clouds

Bertrand Merminod, Pierre-Yves Gilliéron, Jing Wu

This paper presents a cell-based approach for computing the deformation of a monitored object by analyzing point cloud data from terrestrial lidar. This approach can automatically generate an informative deformation description (called "deformation map") w ...

Optimal Data Fusion for Pedestrian Navigation based on UWB and MEMS

Bertrand Merminod, Valérie Jeanne Thérèse Renaudin-Schouler

Indoor pedestrian navigation is probably a very challenging research area. In this context, an optimal data fusion filter that hybridises a large set of observations: angles of arrival (AOA), time differences of arrival (TDOA), accelerations, angular veloc ...

Improving pedestrian dynamics modelling using fuzzy logic

Kamiar Aminian, Bertrand Merminod, François Bonzon, Phillip Tomé

The complementary nature of MEMS based pedestrian dead-reckoning (PDR) navigation and GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) has long been recognised. The advantages are quite clear for those applications requiring indoor positioning and that, for one r ...

UWB and MEMS Based Indoor Navigation

Bertrand Merminod, Sylvain Pittet, Valérie Jeanne Thérèse Renaudin-Schouler

Thanks to its physical characteristics, Ultra-wideband (UWB) is one of the most promising technologies for indoor pedestrian navigation. UWB radio localisation systems however experience multipath phenomena that decrease the precision and the reliability o ...

Indoor Navigation of Emergency Agents

Bertrand Merminod, Valérie Jeanne Thérèse Renaudin-Schouler, Okan Yalak, Phillip Tomé

Existing indoor navigation solutions usually rely on pre-installed sensor networks, whereas emergency agents are interested in fully auto-deployable systems. In this paper, an almost self-deployable solution based on Radio-frequency identification tags and ...

Bayesian Approach for Indoor Pedestrian Localisation

Bertrand Merminod, Michel Bierlaire

The principal concept of navigation is to start from a known (initial) position and to ensure a continued and reliable localisation of the user during his/her movement. The initial position of the trajectory is usually obtained via GPS or defined by the us ...
