«There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in.» Leonard Cohen - Anthem
I am doing research on computer vision in the IMAGINE group at INRIA, mainly focused on tools for the production and post-production of cinema and immersive media, such as stereoscopic 3D cinema, 3DTV, 3DVR, and full dome cinema. You will find my recent articles on this subjet on my publications page
I am also co-author of Natron, an open-source video compositing software. Full details are available on wikipedia and Natron web site.

(10/2017) Check out our IJCV paper on "Defining the Pose of Any 3D Rigid Object and an Associated Distance". Kudos, Romain!
(06/2014) Our paper "Dense semi-rigid scene flow estimation from RGBD images", by Julian Quiroga, Thomas Brox, Frédéric Devernay and James Crowley, was accepted for a presentation at ECCV 2014 in Zurich in September.
(04/2014) We have a paper accepted at CVPR 2014 as oral presentation: "Bayesian view synthesis and image-based rendering principles", by S. Pujades, B. Goldluecke, and F. Devernay. Check out the preprint, and my other publications. See you in Columbus, Ohio!
(10/2013) I now have a page collecting OFX / OpenFX / Open Effects resources about open-source video compositing software.
(11/2012) Added some POV-Ray stuff, including Ground-truth data for stereo and depth-from-defocus methods, and VLPovUtils (creating ray-traced ground truth for computer vision algorithms, including optical flow, stereo disparity, occlusion maps).
(09/2012) The 2013 internship proposals are available.
(09/2011) Made a page with links to articles from the book "3D Cinema and Television Technology: The First 100 Years" which are freely available.
(09/2011) A presentation of my current research: 3D Stereoscopic Cinema Meets Computer Vision.
(10/2010) Precompiled binaries of Bino, the free 3D video player for Mac OS X are available.
(08/2007) A new page collects demos and source code for a few of my research projects.
(04/2007) I made a C/C++ version of Minpack, please try it if you're interested.
(05/2006) Learn about a few French typography rules.
(04/2004) Do a virtual visit of my house in Haut de Cagnes.
(03/2002) 3D faces, a gallery of horrible things.

Peter Bagge, Joe Math, Seth, Chris Ware, Julie Doucet, Lewis Trondheim, Edmond Baudouin, Dupuy & Berbérian, but also Crumb, Will Eisner, Milton Caniff, and many others...
As a fanatic reader and almost-homonyn of Fredric Brown ( bio), I made a small page on him. Another Science Fiction author I love is Philip K. Dick , certainly because his books are a good substitute for drugs .
For those of you who are interested in my music tastes, here's an old playlist (dated 1996!).
And here are a few hacks I work on.
