C6. Description of the consortiumThe partners of the consortium are originating from four different European countries. Each partner is providing the consortium with its specific skills required to carry out the project. The consortium is headed by ERCIM, a European consortium for research in computer science and mathematics. An industrial partner (TIMEAT) with particular skill in computer vision applications is in charge of the system integration. In addition, several academic partners (INRIA, UoS, UBP, UVA) will provide complementary expertise in cognitive vision and computer science. Other academic partners (specialised laboratories: UCO, CNRS geosciences) will grant the project with their advanced knowledge regarding the pollen grain and chitinozoans applications. The general composition of the consortium can be described as follows:
The chitinozoans application will be done in collaboration by a group a internationally recognised experts in the field who will validate the work and the results of the cognitive vision system. A specific end-user group for the pollen application will be set up and will be composed of various partners originating from different European countries and has a broad expertise covering all types of pollen grain categories and vegetation in Europe. The user group partners belong to both national and European networks of aerobiology. The end-user group is headed by the University of Córdoba (UCO) and is precisely composed of:
Complementarity: The expected level of synergy is very high in the consortium, as each partner shares his particular skill and expertise with the other participants, which would not have otherwise been able to benefit from that competence. While the Orion group of INRIA is specialised in cognitive vision (especially in knowledge representation and reasoning techniques and their use for real-world applications), the COGS group of the UoS (COGS) provides its specific expertise in learning techniques and uncertainty management. Relying on the expertise in pollen and chitinozoans provided respectively by UCO and CNRS, they will define the identification and categorisation procedure. In the meanwhile, UBP and UVA, specialised computer vision research, will share their competence with TIMEAT, an industrial partner specialised in developing and integrating solutions for computer vision applications. And while, ERCIM, will share its management skills acquired through various research projects at the European level, the selected participants in the end-user group will contribute to the project by covering the full range of pollen types at the European level required for the application. The prior links between the different participants are extremely strong as INRIA, UBP (LASMEA), and UCO have already worked together in the European ASTHMA project on pollen recognition. In addition, INRIA and UBP also had a close collaboration in the European Eureka project PROMETHEUS. INRIA and TIMEAT are currently working together in a national project for video image interpretation. INRIA and UoS are also collaborating in the European ADVISOR project to develop learnt models of visual behaviour. ERCIM is hosted at INRIA premises and INRIA is one of the ERCIM members. The end-user group participants are involved together in several European projects and are co-operating in the European network of aerobiology. Yüklə 165,86 Kb. Dostları ilə paylaş:
