My PhD research work, under the supervision of Thierry Forveille and Xavier Delfosse at the laboratoire d'astrophysique de Grenoble, is centered on identifying brown dwarfs in a new-generation wide-field survey, the Canada-France Brown Dwarfs Survey -CFBDS-. Its main goals are to identify cooler and low metallicity brown dwarfs for detailed study, and to assemble a large sample of more ordinary brown dwarfs for statistical analyses. My role, as the only full-time member of this international collaboration, included the programming of an analysis and selection pipeline to identify the rare brown dwarf candidates in the very large image database, as well as coordination of the internation collaboration. Chapter 1 summarizes the state of brown...
