The Digital Avionics Systems Conference (DASC) is a yearly event co-organized by the Digital Avionics Technical Committee (DATC) of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), and the Aerospace & Electronic Systems Society (AESS) of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
As the world’s leading R&D conference in the field of digital avionics, it serves as a premier forum for technical exchange, fostering innovative ideas and high-quality technical publications. It is also a fantastic opportunity for avionics professionals to connect, collaborate, and stay up to date on the latest technological advancements.
For this 2025 edition, Guillaume Cottin was awarded Best Paper in the Fault Tolerance, Advanced Networking, and Data Handling Session, for his work titled: “Segmentation and lossless compression of SAR data: a new approach to ensure transmission robustness”.
This method was tested and validated on operational data and generate best tradeoff between treatment time and compression ratio through an online and embedded process. It relies on an ongoing RGB extension and an integrity verification process.
Co-authors: Guillaume Cottin, Franck Cazaurang, Loïc Lavigne, Jérôme Saracco, Franck Tailliez, Vincent Corretja and Benoît Souyri.
The IMS Laboratory is proud to support its teams in achieving such outstanding professional milestones!
