[hal-01002337] Assessing residential exposure to urban noise using environmental models: does the size of the local living neighborhood matter?
10 juin 2014
: Environmental epidemiological studies rely on the quantification of the exposure level in a surface defined as the subject's exposure area. For residential exposure, this area is often the subject's neighborhood. However, the variability of the size and nature of the neighborhoods makes (...)

Progressive transmission of secured images with authentication using decompositions into monovariate functions
5 juin 2014
We propose a progressive transmission approach of an image authenticated using an overlapping subimage that can be removed to restore the original image. Our approach is different from most visible water- marking approaches that allow one to later remove the watermark, because the mark is not (...)
