معرفی
Mohamed Alimoussa is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the National Institute of Applied Sciences of Toulouse since June 2025, working in the MICS (Metrology, Identification, Control and Surveillance) group at Espace Clément Ader. His research focuses on multi-instrumentation methods for drone pose estimation to characterize deformations of kite-sails in maritime propulsion systems using sensor fusion and computer vision.
He holds a PhD from the University of the Littoral Opal Coast (2020-2024) where he developed compact hybrid descriptors for texture classification in color and hyperspectral imaging. His educational background includes advanced work in feature selection, dimensionality reduction, and GPU-accelerated image processing algorithms.
Dr. Alimoussa's research spans drone navigation, sensor fusion (visual odometry, RTK GPS, laser rangefinders), SLAM algorithms, and Digital Image Correlation for mechanical deformation measurement. His work bridges computer vision with mechanical engineering, emphasizing robust real-world applications in non-structured outdoor environments and industrial metrology.
His publication record shows consistent innovation in texture analysis and feature engineering, evolving from foundational work on color texture descriptors to current applications in drone-based metrology. Recent publications demonstrate increasing focus on multi-sensor fusion systems and robustness against environmental variables like lighting changes and rapid motion.
He actively co-supervises Master's students and interns in texture classification projects while participating in the ANR-funded ESKIF project (JCJC 2024). His experimental work involves collaborations with LMGC (University of Montpellier) and Beyond the Sea for coastal validation trials.
As a core member of the MICS research group at Espace Clément Ader, he contributes to metrology systems development and participates in workshops on drone applications for mechanical measurement, maintaining strong industry-academia partnerships for experimental validation.
