Corps sensible, environnement urbain moderniste by Françoise Michel-Jones

“…In it, he confronts his character Hulot with a transitionless shift from the familiar conventions of a historic capital (Paris), which make it possible to stroll peacefully, to the exhausting and deceptive signage and plastic and formal components of a big city that makes for a world in itself, with no space or time outside the frame: a city that asserts the international, modernist version of a city rather than its modern version, being ubiquitous and timeless, devoted to accelerated communication, circulation and consumption.Lost in a disappointing “quest” with multiplying loops and dead-ends, Hulot often appears to be dissolving—shadowless body—at the whim of avatars, doubles and reflections, despite the virtues of transparency and communication, considered to be linked with the “new” architectural and urban environment. …”

Exploiting Attitude Sensing in Vision-Based Navigation for an Airship by Luiz G. B. Mirisola, Jorge Dias

“…Visual odometry is also fused with the GPS, and ground plane maps are generated from the estimated vehicle poses and used to evaluate the results. Finally, loop closure is detected by looking for a previous image of the same area, and an open source SLAM package based in 3D graph optimization is employed to correct the visual odometry drift. …”
