Hardware Computation of Moment Functions in a Silicon Retina Using Binary Patterns
2006
International audience; We present in this paper a method for implementing moment functions in a CMOS retina for shape recognition applications. The method is based on the use of binary patterns and it allows the computation of different moment functions such geometric and Zernike moments of any orders by an adequate choice of the binary patterns. The advantages of the method over other methods described in the literature is that it is particularly suitable for the design of a programmable retina circuit where moment functions of different orders are obtained by simply loading the correct binary patterns into the memory devices implemented on the circuit. The moment values computed by the m…
User profile matching in social networks
2010
International audience; Inter-social networks operations and functionalities are required in several scenarios (data integration, data enrichment, information retrieval, etc.). To achieve this, matching user profiles is required. Current methods are so restrictive and do not consider all the related problems. Particularly, they assume that two profiles describe the same physical person only if the values of their Inverse Functional Property or IFP (e.g. the email address, homepage, etc.) are the same. However, the observed trend in social networks is not fully compatible with this assumption since users tend to create more than one social network account (for personal use, for work, etc.) w…
A Constrained Band Selection Method Based on Information Measures for Spectral Image Color Visualization
2011
International audience; We present a new method for the visualization of spectral images, based on a selection of three relevant spectral channels to build a Red-Green-Blue composite. Band selection is achieved by means of information measures at the first, second and third orders. Irrelevant channels are preliminarily removed by means of a center-surround entropy comparison. A visualization-oriented spectrum segmentation based on the use of color matching functions allows for computational ease and adjustment of the natural rendering. Results from the proposed method are presented and objectively compared to four other dimensionality reduction techniques in terms of naturalness and informa…
Detection and matching of curvilinear structures
2011
We propose an approach to curvilinear and wiry object detection and matching based on a new curvilinear region detector (CRD) and a shape context-like descriptor (COH). Standard methods for local patch detection and description are not directly applicable to wiry objects and curvilinear structures, such as roads, railroads and rivers in satellite and aerial images, vessels and veins in medical images, cables, poles and fences in urban scenes, stems and tree branches in natural images, since they assume the object is compact, i.e. that most elliptical patches around features cover only the object. However, wiry objects often have no flat parts and most neighborhoods include both foreground a…
Spatial correction in dynamic photon emission by affine transformation matrix estimation
2014
International audience; Photon emission microscopy and Time Resolved Imaging have proved their efficiency for defect localization on VLSI. A common process to find defect candidate locations is to draw a comparison between acquisitions on a normally working device and a faulty one. In order to be accurate and meaningful, this method requires that the acquisition scene remains the same between the two parts. In practice, it can be difficult to set. In this paper, a method to correct position by affine matrix transformation is suggested. It is based on image features detection, description and matching and affine transformation estimation.
An optimized algorithm of image stitching in the case of a multi-modal probe for monitoring the evolution of scars
2013
International audience; We propose a new system that makes possible to monitor the evolution of scars after the excision of a tumorous dermatosis. The hardware part of this system is composed of a new optical innovative probe with which two types of images can be acquired simultaneously: an anatomic image acquired under a white light and a functional one based on autofluorescence from the protoporphyrin within the cancer cells. For technical reasons related to the maximum size of the area covered by the probe, acquired images are too small to cover the whole scar. That is why a sequence of overlapping images is taken in order to cover the required area. The main goal of this paper is to des…
A new minimum trees-based approach for shape matching with improved time computing : application to graphical symbols recognition
2010
Recently we have developed a model for shape description and matching. Based on minimum spanning trees construction and specifics stages like the mixture, it seems to have many desirable properties. Recognition invariance in front shift, rotated and noisy shape was checked through median scale tests related to GREC symbol reference database. Even if extracting the topology of a shape by mapping the shortest path connecting all the pixels seems to be powerful, the construction of graph induces an expensive algorithmic cost. In this article we discuss on the ways to reduce time computing. An alternative solution based on image compression concepts is provided and evaluated. The model no longe…
Cluster matching in time resolved imaging for VLSI analysis
2014
International audience; If scaling has the benefit of enabling manufacturers to design tomorrow's integrated circuits, from the failure analyst point of view it also has the drawback of making devices more complex. The test sequence for modern VLSI can be quite long, with thousands of vector. Dynamic photon emission databases can contain millions of photons representing thousands of state changes in the region of interest. Finding a candidate location where to perform physical analysis is quite challenging, especially if the fault occurs on a single vector. In this paper, we suggest a new methodology to find single vector fault in dynamic photon emission database. The process is applied at …
Modélisation, Analyse et Traitement de l'Information
2016
Mes activités de recherche s’articulent, d’une part, autour de l’instrumentation et du génie biomédical,et, d’autre part, autour du traitement et de la transmission non linéaire de l’information. Elles sebasent sur la modélisation des signaux à partir de modèles non linéaires (principalement modèles deréaction-diffusion. . . ) continus (EDP) et discrets (numériques). Dans cette partie, d’un point de vuefondamental, des phénomènes dynamiques complexes ou chaotiques sont caractérisés à travers l’analyse,la classification, la reconnaissance des motifs dans des signaux physiologiques ou issus des circuitsélectroniques. Un autre axe sur lequel je travaille concerne l’analyse et le traitement des…
Système de sécurité biométrique multimodal par imagerie, dédié au contrôle d’accès
2019
Research of this thesis consists in setting up efficient and light solutions to answer the problems of securing sensitive products. Motivated by a collaboration with various stakeholders within the Nuc-Track project, the development of a biometric security system, possibly multimodal, will lead to a study on various biometric features such as the face, fingerprints and the vascular network. This thesis will focus on an algorithm and architecture matching, with the aim of minimizing the storage size of the learning models while guaranteeing optimal performances. This will allow it to be stored on a personal support, thus respecting privacy standards.
