Optimisation et implémentation de méthodes bio-inspirées d'extraction de caractéristiques pour la reconnaissance d'objets visuels

2016

Industry has growing needs for so-called “intelligent systems”, capable of not only ac-quire data, but also to analyse it and to make decisions accordingly. Such systems areparticularly useful for video-surveillance, in which case alarms must be raised in case ofan intrusion. For cost saving and power consumption reasons, it is better to perform thatprocess as close to the sensor as possible. To address that issue, a promising approach isto use bio-inspired frameworks, which consist in applying computational biology modelsto industrial applications. The work carried out during that thesis consisted in select-ing bio-inspired feature extraction frameworks, and to optimize them with the aim t…

Deep learning for dehazing: Benchmark and analysis

2018

International audience; We compare a recent dehazing method based on deep learning , Dehazenet, with traditional state-of-the-art approach, on benchmark data with reference. Dehazenet estimates the depth map from a single color image, which is used to inverse the Koschmieder model of imaging in the presence of haze. In this sense, the solution is still attached to the Koschmieder model. We demonstrate that this method exhibits the same limitation than other inversions of this imaging model.

Inverse Tone Mapping Based upon Retina Response

2014

International audience; The development of high dynamic range (HDR) display arouses the research of inverse tone mapping methods, which expand dynamic range of the low dynamic range (LDR) image to match that of HDR monitor. This paper proposed a novel physiological approach, which could avoid artifacts occurred in most existing algorithms. Inspired by the property of the human visual system (HVS), this dynamic range expansion scheme performs with a low computational complexity and a limited number of parameters and obtains high-quality HDR results. Comparisons with three recent algorithms in the literature also show that the proposed method reveals more important image details and produces …

Palmprint and face score level fusion: hardware implementation of a contactless small sample biometric system

2011

Including multiple sources of information in personal identity recognition and verification gives the opportunity to greatly improve performance. We propose a contactless biometric system that combines two modalities: palmprint and face. Hardware implementations are proposed on the Texas Instrument Digital Signal Processor and Xilinx Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) platforms. The algorithmic chain consists of a preprocessing (which includes palm extraction from hand images), Gabor feature extraction, comparison by Hamming distance, and score fusion. Fusion possibilities are discussed and tested first using a bimodal database of 130 subjects that we designed (uB database), and then two …

LDR Image to HDR Image Mapping with Overexposure Preprocessing

2013

International audience; Due to the growing popularity of High Dynamic Range (HDR) images and HDR displays, a large amount of existing Low Dynamic Range (LDR) images are required to be converted to HDR format to benefit HDR advantages, which give rise to some LDR to HDR algorithms. Most of these algorithms especially tackle overexposed areas during expanding, which is the potential to make the image quality worse than that before processing and introduces artifacts. To dispel these problems, we . present a new,LDR to HDR approach, unlike the existing techniques, it focuses on avoiding sophisticated treatment to overexposed areas in dynamic range expansion step. Based on a separating principl…

Multi-Kernel Implicit Curve Evolution for Selected Texture Regions Segmentation in VHR Satellite Images

2014

Very high resolution (VHR) satellite images provide a mass of detailed information which can be used for urban planning, mapping, security issues, or environmental monitoring. Nevertheless, the processing of this kind of image is timeconsuming, and extracting the needed information from among the huge quantity of data is a real challenge. For some applications such as natural disaster prevention and monitoring (typhoon, flood, bushfire, etc.), the use of fast and effective processing methods is demanded. Furthermore, such methods should be selective in order to extract only the information required to allow an efficient interpretation. For this purpose, we propose a texture region segmentat…

QaQ: Robust 6D Pose Estimation via Quality-Assessed RGB-D Fusion

2023

RGB-D 6D pose estimation has recently drawn great research attention thanks to the complementary depth information. Whereas, the depth and the color image are often noisy in real industrial scenarios. Therefore, it becomes challenging for many existing methods that fuse equally RGB and depth features. In this paper, we present a novel fusion design to adaptively merge RGB-D cues. Specifically, we created a Qualityassessment block that estimates the global quality of the input modalities. This quality represented as an α parameter is then used to reinforce the fusion. We have thus found a simple and effective way to improve the robustness to low-quality inputs in terms of Depth and RGB. Exte…

Détermination de la texture de la feuille de vigne par imagerie

2013

National audience; Dans le contexte de la pulvérisation de précision, nombreuses sont les recherches menées sur l'optimisation d'utilisation des produits phytosanitaires. L'objectif final étant de réduire de manière significative la quantité d'intrant dans les cultures . Dans ce cadre, les travaux présentés dans cet article s'intéresse particulièrement à l'analyse de l'état de surface foliaire qui présente une part essentielle dans le processus d'adhésion du produit pulvérisé sur la feuille. L'analyse de surface de la feuille est réalisée à travers l'analyse des caractéristiques texturale extraites d'images microscopics. Afin de discriminer les différents cépages et âges des feuilles retenu…
