In this seminar, we will describe the recent development of a new Quantum Key Distribution platform which is based on the Coherent One Way protocol. We will describe the general features of this protocol and will discuss the practical challenges related to the development of a system. We will also approaches for the security certification of such a system and review current applications.

Integration of hard and soft classification using SVM

Hard classification by labeling each pixel in a multispectral or hyperspectral image as one of the defined classes may present high uncertainty. One of the reason is that there are many mixed pixels due to limited spatial resolution. Spectral unmixing techniques have been developed to map each pixel as a weighted sum of the endmember classes it contains. While Support Vector Machine has been widely used for hard classification, it has been extended for spectral unmixing. In this talk, an integrated hard and soft classification using SVM is presented, including the concept of unmixing resolution and fuzzy assessment. More Information..
