Jean Sequeira has been a “Full Professor” at the Aix-Marseilles University since 1991 (he has the status of “Exceptional Class Professor” since 2010). In 1994, he created a research group on “Image Analysis and Computer Graphics” and then, in 2001, he participated in the creation and the direction of the LSIS Laboratory (Systems and Information Sciences Laboratory). Since 2001, he has been developing an important international activity, especially with China where he supervises research works in the field of Remote Sensing at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He also set partnerships with Peru, Algeria, Burkina Faso and Canada. In 2006, he participated in the creation of an international organization, ISDE (International Society for Digital Earth) of which I had been an Executive Committee member for ten years; he also participated in the creation of an international journal, IJDE (International Journal of Digital Earth – Taylor & Francis Edition).
Research Interest
His research activity deals with image analysis, geometrical modeling and image synthesis. The goal of the research groups he created (LXAO and then SimGraph) was to perform data fusion from images, to extract information from these data, to integrate it into a model and to display it in a way that communicates the relevant information to a specific end user.
