Pascal Vasseur

Pascal Vasseur is a University Professor at the University of Picardie Jules Verne (UPJV) in the Faculty of Sciences, Computer Science Department. He leads the Robotics Perception group within the MIS Laboratory (Modeling, Information and Systems) and serves as a member of the National University Council (Section 61) since 2016. Additionally, he has been an Associate Editor for IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters since 2016, demonstrating his significant standing in the robotics research community.

Professor Vasseur's research focuses on robotics perception systems, with particular expertise in vision (including omnidirectional and event-based cameras), Lidar, and Radar technologies. His work addresses fundamental challenges in pose estimation, mapping, and localization for robotics and automotive applications. His recent publications show a strong emphasis on advanced sensor technologies, multi-sensor calibration techniques, and practical implementations for autonomous systems.

His publication record demonstrates consistent high-impact research output, with numerous articles in top robotics and computer vision venues including IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Vehicles, and CVPR. He has also authored two comprehensive books on Omnidirectional Vision (2023-2024), establishing himself as a leading expert in this specialized area of computer vision.

Professor Vasseur has coordinated multiple significant research projects including ANR projects CaViAR and pLaTINUM, the international DrAACaR project, and PHC STAR and AMADEUS projects. He currently serves as scientific officer for the ANR CLARA Project, continuing his leadership in advancing robotics perception research.

His research group actively contributes to solving practical challenges in automotive vision systems, drone navigation, and forest environment mapping, with applications spanning autonomous vehicles, robotics navigation, and environmental monitoring systems. The group's work bridges theoretical advances in computer vision with real-world robotics implementations.
