Knowledge shall be accessible to all...
One will find on this page some details on the various courses I have been teaching over the years. Similar to some famous
institution such as MIT, I consider knowledge should be shared. I am concerned these days about our education system and
our universities, where they are operated as for-profit private companies and where training of future generations is
reduced to a mere business. Trends show that nowaday education is simply exchanged against money.
This is sad, because knowledge makes people free and are necessary to self realization. Knowledge insures societies to
evolve and is a warranty to a healthy democracy. I have therefore no objection to share my personal lectures to anyone,
as long as my copyrights are respected and recognized.
Digital signal processing (in French)
This is an undergraduate course on digital signal processing I have been giving for a few years. Those chapters summarize
my lectures.
Chapter 1
Chapter 2
Chapter 3
Chapter 4
Chapter 5
Stochastic processes and statistical signal processing of random signals
This a graduate course specialized on stochastic processes, bayesian theory and statistical signal processing of random
signals and noise. I give this course since 2002, which has been improved over the years. The course is divided in 15 weeks.
The course (in French) is intensive and aims to provide the students with the basic knowledge in the field using a toolbox
approach. The details are below.
Introduction
Notions of probability, random variables and random vectors
Stochastic processes
Memoryless stochastic processes
Stochastic processes with memory
Transformations of a stochastic process
Optimization
Detection and hypothesis testing
Classification
Estimation theory part I
Optimal filtering
Estimation theory part II
Spectrum estimation
Applications
Intelligent vehicles and Intelligent transportation Systems
This a graduate course specialized on intelligent vehicles, ADAS and Intelligent transportation systems (ITS). I built that
course in 2015 while I was working at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo California. This course written in English is divided in 10
weeks and provides an in-depth overview of the field with all the relevent knowledge using a toolbox approach. The
details are given below.
Introduction, context and applications
Vehicle dynamic modelling
Vehicle positionning and navigation
Perception and map building
Multi-sensor data fusion
Object detection, recognition and tracking
Vehicular control and ADAS systems
VANETS and connected vehicles
Multi vehicular cooperative and collaborative architectures
Autonomous vehicle and driving automation
Reliability, failure detection and identification
Vehicular infotainment and telematics
Vehicle self-diagnosis and maintenance issues
