Abstract: A method for 3D reconstruction of an object based on back-scattered and sensed signals, including: generating, from the sensed signals, 3D points to which their back-scattering intensity is respectively assigned, which form a set A of reconstructed data, starting from A, extracting a set B of data, whose points are located within a volume containing the object, as a function of volume characteristics F2, starting from B, extracting a set C of data characterizing the external surface of the object, the surface having regions with missing parts, depending on an extraction criterion, based on C, filling in the regions with missing parts by generation of a three-dimensional surface so as to obtain a set D of completed data of the object, without having to use an external database, and identifying the object based on D.

Abstract: The invention relates to a passive optical limiter having a nonlinear material capable of switching in a predetermined optical band from a transparent state to an opaque state as a function of the power of an incident laser beam. The nonlinear material is an organic dye which comprises molecules derived from 4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene into which a nitrogen atom is inserted at the meso position, referred to as aza-bodipy molecules, and which have conjugated ? chains functionalized so as to exhibit absorption for two photons around an incident beam wavelength lying between 1.45 ?m and 1.6 ?m.

Abstract: The disclosed jacket comprises a layer that is discreet with respect to the visible and infrared frequencies, having a specified thickness, with a specified dielectric permittivity and emissivity close to 1 for the infrared frequency bands considered; a resistive layer, with an electrical resistivity and thickness that are determined so that the inverse of their product gives a specified resistance; a layer of dielectric material with a specified thickness and a specified dielectric permittivity; and a conductive layer with electrical conductivity determined so that it is considered as a reflective plane for the radar frequencies considered.
