A method for calibrating an acoustic antenna including elementary transducers distributed over an antenna row or plane, about a reference transducer, the antenna defining a main axis, passing through the reference transducer, and perpendicular to the antenna row or plane, the method including: measuring signals generated by elementary transducers in response to a calibration acoustic wave from a calibration source; on the basis of these measurements, determining a temporal phase shift of the signal respectively generated by each elementary transducer; reiterating the above steps in such a way that, in at least one iteration, the position of the calibration source may be considered to be centered on the main axis; and estimating a phase shift of each elementary transducer with respect to the reference transducer.

Method for calibrating an acoustic antenna

A method of processing a papillary print includes a step to detect a singular zone on the image, the singular zone being characterised by a position, and an orientation representative of a value of the gradient of the intensity of the image; a step to extract control patches, each control patch having one of the singular zones detected in step a); a step to project control patches in a reference base, so as to determine the projection coordinates of each control patch on the reference base, projection of a control patch on the reference base forming a projected patch; and a step to calculate a difference in projection of control patches relative to the projected patches.

Method for processing an image of a papillary impression

A method for generating a secret key shared by a group of at least three terminals from characteristics of wireless communication channels connecting the terminals in twos, including, at each of the terminals of the group, the implementation of the following steps of: acquiring signals from wireless communication channels, known as adjacent channels, connected to the terminal and generating a representation of each adjacent channel; for at least one wireless communication channel, known as a non-adjacent channel, not connected to the terminal, acquiring at least one image signal of the non-adjacent channel and generating a representation of the non-adjacent channel, determining the secret key from a combination of the representations of the adjacent channels and at least one representation of non-adjacent channel.
