Géolocaliser des cartes anciennes : procédure by Claire Audelan, Marion Humbert, Clémence Lescuyer, Constance de Vergnette de la Motte, sous la direction d’Alain Guerreau

“…L'objectif était de rassembler la documentation toponymique disponible pour une commune (celle de Broye) et de l'insérer de manière structurée, par « couches », dans une base de données spatiales (système d'information géographique libre, QGIS), de manière à pouvoir faire ressortir les types d'information originaux que peut permettre d'obtenir une telle structuration. On évoquera d'abord les opérations effectuées et les difficultés rencontrées ; puis on présentera les pistes d'analyse brièvement parcourues ; enfin, tenant compte du potentiel nouveau et des difficultés signalées, on suggérera les directions dans lesquelles il paraît le plus utile et le plus urgent de porter les efforts futurs.…”

Advanced optical receiver architectures for ultra-high capacity but low-cost short-reach optical interconnects by Honglin JI, Xueyang LI, Zhixue HE, Weisheng HU, Shieh William

“…The deployment of emerging network infrastructure such as hyper-scale datacenters urgently requires ultra-high capacity but low-cost short-reach optical interconnects.Conventional intensity modulation and direct detection possesses a simple receiver structure but can only recover the intensity information, which restrains the capability of further scaling up the system capacity.Standard coherent detection can deliver high-order modulation formats and achieve high-capacity transmission.Nevertheless, the coherent transceiver requiring expensive narrow-linewidth laser sources and computation-intensive digital signal processing precludes its wide applications in short-reach systems.The advanced direct-detection optical receivers aim to combine the advantages of both direct detection and coherent detection and bridge the gap between them.Therefore, the advanced optical receivers are mainly based on self-coherent detection.Advanced single-polarization, dual-polarization, and few-mode optical receiver architectures wereintroduced.The proposed advanced optical receivers can retrieve the optical field via direct detection without using the narrow-linewidth lasers, which enables the realization of ultra-high capability but low-cost short-reach optical interconnects.…”
