🎤 Passionate oral presentation by @Younes Boutiyarzist, TéSA PhD student 🛰️, at the European Signal Processing Conference (EUSIPCO) 2026.

His topic: how to localize using only a camera 📷 and a 3D map 🗺️, without a satellite positioning system?

An essential question for the autonomous navigation of helicopters 🚁, particularly in areas where GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) is not available.

His method, presented in the article “Robust Bayesian Registration of 2D–3D Semantic Point Clouds with Probabilistic Data Association”, allows for the intelligent association of visual information with a 3D map for reliable localization.
His work was carried out under the supervision of François Vincent (ISAE), @Jean-Yves Tourneret (ENSEEIHT) and @Philippe Salmon (Collins Aerospace).

A fine example of the research conducted daily by our PhD students 🎓!

🎓 Nine papers submitted by our PhD students ⇒ nine papers accepted. A collective source of pride for TéSA 🛰️!

From August 31 to September 4, the European Signal Processing Conference (EUSIPCO) brought together the European signal processing community in Bruges, Belgium 🇧🇪. TéSA was present, as every year, to share its research work 📡.

A big congratulations to @Karima GHAMNIA, @Younes Boutiyarzist, Alexandre Berezin, @Alexandre Brochard, Ayoub Hamza, @Maurine Bouzeid and @geoffroy heurtier, PhD students, as well as to their thesis supervisors from @Toulouse INP – Institut National Polytechnique de Toulouse, @ISAE-SUPAERO, @ENAC – Ecole Nationale de l’Aviation Civile and @IPSA, an aerospace engineering school, not to mention @Raoul Prévost, research engineer at TéSA 🛰️, and @Hamish McPhee, TéSA 🛰️ post-doctoral researcher at the time of submission.
We will tell you more in the coming days…👀

These successes testify to the scientific dynamism of our teams and strengthen TéSA’s ability to support its industrial and institutional partners on demanding R&D projects 🚀.

Jihanne El Haouari—who defended her thesis at TéSA in November 2025 on “Spectrometer Calibration via Sparse Inverse Problem Solving for Atmospheric Sounding” (co-funded by CNES and Thales Alenia Space)—received the Prize from the Academy of Sciences, Inscriptions and Belles-Lettres of Toulouse on June 14th. Congratulations to her and to the entire supervision team: her thesis advisors Jean-Yves Tourneret and Herwig Wendt (IRIT), as well as Christelle Pittet (CNES) and Jean-Michel Gaucel (Thales Alenia Space) 🙂

Thanks to a session led by Toulouse Tech Transfer (TTT), TéSA PhD students spent a day exploring how to commercialize their thesis research by starting a company. The day’s agenda included an introduction to intellectual property, an overview of the entrepreneurial landscape in France, and a practical exercise: a three-minute pitch designed to win over (virtual) investors.

Following an R&T study with CNES, Philippe Paimblanc, a research engineer at TéSA, was invited to present his results on satellite swarm localization at the event organized by CNES’s COMET PDS. A great opportunity for TéSA to showcase its expertise!

Esa Ollila, professor within the Department of Information and Communication Enginering at Aalto University, Finland has been invited in TéSA to spend one month with us. This was the opportunity for him to give a talk on Fast Covariance Learning algorithms for Sparse Bayesian Learning, Thanks Esa for this nice talk!
