Maya Calendar
During his last sabbatical, professor M. A. Ya made a surprising discovery about the old Maya calendar. From an old knotted message, professor discovered that the Maya civilization used a 365 day long year, called Haab, which had 19 months. Each of the first 18 months was 20 days long, and the names of the months were pop, no, zip, zotz, tzec, xul, yoxkin, mol, chen, yax, zac, ceh, mac, kankin, muan, pax, koyab, cumhu. Instead of having names, the days of the months were denoted by numbers starting from 0 to 19. The last month of Haab was called uayet and had 5 days denoted by numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4. The Maya believed that this month was unlucky, the court of justice was not in session, the trade stopped, people did not even sweep the floor.

During the past four years, most of our research activities have been focused on image but also video
and 3-D objects processing for security applications (watermarking and biometrics) and communications
(talking heads, interfaces), with a special emphasis on facial images. More about our work can be found
at http://www.eurecom.fr/~image.
Our research activities are conducted with the backing of several industrials, in particular France
Telecom Research and STMicroelectronics.
For the past few years, we have had a regular scientific collaboration on Fractal Image Coding,
Watermarking and Biometrics with the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), in particular with
Prof. K. Ros
