Region-based segmentation on depth images from a 3D reference surface for tree species recognition.
International audience; The aim of the work presented in this paper is to develop a method for the automatic identification of tree species using Terrestrial Light Detection and Ranging (T-LiDAR) data. The approach that we propose analyses depth images built from 3D point clouds corresponding to a 30 cm segment of the tree trunk in order to extract characteristic shape features used for classifying the different tree species using the Random Forest classifier. We will present the method used to transform the 3D point cloud to a depth image and the region based segmentation method used to segment the depth images before shape features are computed on the segmented images. Our approach has be…
Ontology-driven Image Analysis for Histopathological Images
International audience; Ontology-based software and image processing engine must cooperate in new fields of computer vision like microscopy acquisition wherein the amount of data, concepts and processing to be handled must be properly controlled. Within our own platform, we need to extract biological objects of interest in huge size and high-content microscopy images. In addition to specific low-level image analysis procedures, we used knowledge formalization tools and high-level reasoning ability of ontology-based software. This methodology made it possible to improve the expressiveness of the clinical models, the usability of the platform for the pathologist and the sensitivity or sensibi…
