Reconstruction of hyperspectral cutaneous data from an artificial neural network-based multispectral imaging system.
2011
International audience; The development of an integrated MultiSpectral Imaging (MSI) system yielding hyperspectral cubes by means of artificial neural networks is described. The MSI system is based on a CCD camera, a rotating wheel bearing a set of seven interference filters, a light source and a computer. The resulting device has been elaborated for in vivo imaging of skin lesions. It provides multispectral images and is coupled with a software reconstructing hyperspectral cubes from multispectral images. Reconstruction is performed by a neural network-based algorithm using heteroassociative memories. The resulting hyperspectral cube provides skin optical reflectance spectral data combined…
L'imagerie multispectrale embarquée pour caractériser la croissance et l'état sanitaire du feuillage de la vigne
2015
Multispectral imaging systems are widely used in remote sensing and applied to viticulture context for the canopy characterization. This technique is not used in proximal sensing, to characterize vineyard foliage. Yet the results of field tests led in fixed position have revealed its capacity to estimate the leaf area. The aim of this project is to assess the suitable of a multispectral imaging system as an embedded sensor for vine foliage characterization. To this end, a multispectral camera acquiring visible and near-infrared images and a Greenseeker RT-100 apparatus providing an NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index), were installed on a track laying tractor. It was equipped with …
A Survey of Prostate Segmentation Methodologies in Ultrasound, Magnetic Resonance and Computed Tomography Images
2012
Prostate segmentation is a challenging task, and the challenges significantly differ from one imaging modality to another. Low contrast, speckle, micro-calcifications and imaging artifacts like shadow poses serious challenges to accurate prostate segmentation in transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) images. However in magnetic resonance (MR) images, superior soft tissue contrast highlights large variability in shape, size and texture information inside the prostate. In contrast poor soft tissue contrast between prostate and surrounding tissues in computed tomography (CT) images pose a challenge in accurate prostate segmentation. This article reviews the methods developed for prostate gland segmenta…
Non conventional Imaging Systems for 3D Digitization of transparent and/or specular manufactured objects
2013
International audience; 3D scanning has been investigated for several years and most of the proposed approaches assume a diffuse or near diffuse reflectance of the object's surface, also called cooperative surfaces. For the case of "non cooperative surfaces", such as transparent objects or mirror-like surfaces, usually, a thin layer of powder is sprayed onto the object surface (to make it opaque and diffuse) prior to its digitization. This extra step is troublesome, time consuming (the object needs to be cleaned afterwards), and the final accuracy is often dependent on the powder thickness and its homogeneousness. To avoid this step, various methods have been investigated over the last few …
A spline-based non-linear diffeomorphism for multimodal prostate registration.
2012
This paper presents a novel method for non-rigid registration of transrectal ultrasound and magnetic resonance prostate images based on a non-linear regularized framework of point correspondences obtained from a statistical measure of shape-contexts. The segmented prostate shapes are represented by shape-contexts and the Bhattacharyya distance between the shape representations is used to find the point correspondences between the 2D fixed and moving images. The registration method involves parametric estimation of the non-linear diffeomorphism between the multimodal images and has its basis in solving a set of non-linear equations of thin-plate splines. The solution is obtained as the least…
Image transmission through dynamic scattering media by single-pixel photodetection
2014
Smart control of light propagation through highly scattering media is a much desired goal with major technological implications. Since interaction of light with highly scattering media results in partial or complete depletion of ballistic photons, it is in principle impossible to transmit images through distances longer than the extinction length. Nevertheless, different methods for image transmission, focusing, and imaging through scattering media by means of wavefront control have been published over the past few years. In this paper we show that single-pixel optical systems, based on compressive detection, can also overcome the fundamental limitation imposed by multiple scattering to suc…
Compressive imaging in scattering media.
2015
One challenge that has long held the attention of scientists is that of clearly seeing objects hidden by turbid media, as smoke, fog or biological tissue, which has major implications in fields such as remote sensing or early diagnosis of diseases. Here, we combine structured incoherent illumination and bucket detection for imaging an absorbing object completely embedded in a scattering medium. A sequence of low-intensity microstructured light patterns is launched onto the object, whose image is accurately reconstructed through the light fluctuations measured by a single-pixel detector. Our technique is noninvasive, does not require coherent sources, raster scanning nor time-gated detection…
Contributions à l’imagerie polarimétrique et à ses applications en vision pour la robotique
2019
Ce mémoire présente le bilan de l'ensemble de mes travaux de recherche effectués de septembre 2006 à juin 2019 au sein de l'équipe Creusotine du laboratoire Le2i devenue équipe Vibot ERL CNRS 6000 depuis janvier 2018. Les principales activités de recherche que j'ai menées au cours de ces 10 dernières années autour de l'imagerie polarimétrique, de la vision omnidirectionnelle et de leurs applications en vision pour la robotique seront particulièrement détaillées dans ce document. Elles seront présentées selon deux grandes parties : la première concernera plutôt l'aspect mise en œuvre et calibrage des caméras et la seconde se concentrera sur les applications potentielles en vision pour la rob…
Three-dimensional multiple-particle tracking with nanometric precision over tunable axial ranges
2017
The precise localization of nanometric objects in three dimensions is essential to identify functional diffusion mechanisms in complex systems at the cellular or molecular level. However, most optical methods can achieve high temporal resolution and high localization precision only in two dimensions or over a limited axial (z) range. Here we develop a novel wide-field detection system based on an electrically tunable lens that can track multiple individual nanoscale emitters in three dimensions over a tunable axial range with nanometric localization precision. The optical principle of the technique is based on the simultaneous acquisition of two images with an extended depth of field while …
A Mumford-Shah functional based variational model with contour, shape, and probability prior information for prostate segmentation
2012
Abstract: Inter patient shape, size and intensity variations of the prostate in transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) images challenge automatic segmentation of the prostate. In this paper we propose a variational model driven by Mumford-Shah (MS) functional for segmenting the prostate. Parametric representation of the implicit curve is derived from principal component analysis (PCA) of the signed distance representation of the labeled training data to impose shape prior. Posterior probability of the prostate region determined from random forest classification facilitates initialization and propagation of our model in a MS energy minimization framework. The proposed method achieves mean Dice simila…
