Summary¶
I did my PhD from 2020 to 2023 at the École des Ponts in the computer vision team IMAGINE (LIGM, École des Ponts, Univ Gustave Eiffel, CNRS) and at the IGN—the French Mapping Agency—in the Spatio-Temporal Structures for Spatial Analysis team of the LASTIG (LASTIG, Univ Gustave Eiffel, IGN/ENSG), advised by Mathieu Aubry and Loïc Landrieu. I am interested in optimisation and machine learning for 3D data, with a focus on unsupervised learning, interpretability, and real-time applications.

We propose an unsupervised method for parsing large 3D scans of real-world scenes into interpretable parts. Our goal is to provide a practical tool for analyzing 3D scenes with unique characteristics in the context of aerial surveying and mapping, without relying on application- specific user annotations. Our method offers significant advantage over existing approaches, as it does not require any manual annotations, making it a practical and efficient tool for 3D scene analysis.

First, we introduce HelixNet, a 10-billion point dataset with fine-grained timestamps and sensor rotation information. Second, we propose Helix4D, a compact and efficient spatio-temporal transformer architecture specifically designed for rotating LiDAR sequences that reaches accuracy on par with the best segmentation algorithms with a reduction of over 5× in terms of latency and 50× in model size.

Paper | Webpage | Code
We propose an audio identification model based on learnable spectral prototypes. Our model can be trained with or without supervision and reaches state-of-the-art results for speaker and instrument identification, while remaining easily interpretable.

Paper | Webpage | Code | Slides | Long video | Short video
We characterize 3D shapes as affine transformations of linear families learned without supervision, and showcase its advantages on large shape collections.
This work is an extension of the Deep Transformation-Invariant Clustering framework from Tom Monnier et al. for 3D tasks such as clustering and few-shot segmentation.
