All about ELSI

ELSI Road-map

ELSI an open EU laboratory in Alsace installed at the ISL for the development of new generations of sensors implementing the Artificial Intelligence on Silicon.
ELSI will contribute through technical innovations to promote the idea that learning with examples is often more practical and accurate than explaining “why” with equations.
ELSI will promote applied research, fast technology transfer for pattern recognition technologies and concepts through strong industry, academia and collectivity partnerships

ELSI Objectives

The very first objective is to increase the global perception of the environnment for security, defence and medical applications.
ELSI & the consortium have the idea to develop in a near future an :

• EU Image Recognition Chip
• EU Pattern Recognition Chip

ELSI will develop, with the help of ISL structures, a new sensory intelligence discipline, industry and cluster in EU.
ELSI will reinforce collaborative research activity with other EU research centers, universities and engineer schools around actual society subjects.
ELSI coordinates and promotes the results obtained by ELSI members through international publications (with referees), newsletters, workgroups, training sessions.
ELSI will contribute to define new standards in terms of knowledge data structures and technological requirements.
ELSI will develop freewares , royalty licensing programs and electronic designs.
ELSI is open to any industry, academic, collectivity (hospital, diseased center …) solicitations.

ELSI targeted applied research fields are

• Target tracking
• Surveillance
• Biomedical imaging and analysing for pre-diagnostic help
• Remote sensing
• Data fusion & Data minding...
• Database – knowledge construction

For new Human Computer interaction, new Robotics and Automation concepts which are context sensitive, new smart sensors will be able to react to situations for which they have been specifically trained, with the possibility to clone the knowledge.

The ELSI targeted field uses Artificial Intelligence on Silicon for security, defence and medical applications. This technology will have a strong implication for the assistance and surveillance of aged person while preserving privacy, the monitoring of vital functions and new easy to use low cost control interfaces especially for handicapped patients.
