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 …

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…

Mélange de Gaussiennes Photométriques pour l'Asservissement Visuel Virtuel Direct d'une Caméra Omnidirectionnelle

2021

International audience; Cet article traite du suivi de pose direct basé modèle 3D. Nous considérons la transformation d’images omnidirectionnelles en Mélange de Gaussiennes Photométriquesn (MGP) comme primitives directes. Les contributions sont d’adapter l’optimisation de pose aux caméras omnidirectionnelles et de repenser les règles d’initialisation et d’optimisation du paramètre d’extension du MGP. Plusieurs évaluations montrent que cette approche augmente la taille du domaine de convergence. L’application à des images acquises avec un robot mobile placé dans un environnement urbain, représenté par un grand nuage de points 3D coloré, montre une robustesse significative aux grands mouvemen…

ROBUST ROAD SIGNS SEGMENTATION IN COLOR IMAGES

2012

International audience; This paper presents an efficient method for road signs segmentation in color images. Color segmentation of road signs is a difficult task due to variations in the image acquisition conditions. Therefore, a color constancy algorithm is usually applied prior to segmentation, which increases the computation time. The proposed method is based on a log-chromaticity color space which shows good invariance properties to changing illumination. Thus, the method is simple and fast since it does not require color constancy algorithms. Experiments with a large dataset and comparison with other approaches, show the robustness and accuracy of the method in detecting road signs in …

Background subtraction with multispectral video sequences

2014

International audience; Motion analysis of moving targets is an important issue in several applications such as video surveillance or robotics. Background subtraction is one of the simplest and widely used techniques for moving target detection in video sequences. In this paper, we investigate the advantages of using a multispectral video acquisition system of more than three bands for background subtraction over the use of trichromatic or monochromatic video sequences. To this end, we have established a dataset of multispectral videos with a manual annotation of moving objects. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first publicly available dataset of multispectral video sequences. Expe…

Cette méthodologie met en oeuvre la méthode de détection, un protocole d'apprentissage incrémental ou évolutif, et une méthode d'évaluation et de comparaison des performances, devant conduire à une amélioration des capacités de détection de chutes sur un système embarqué de type caméra intelligente.

Road Signs Detection and Reconstruction using Gielis Curves

2012

International audience; Road signs are among the most important navigation tools in transportation systems. The identification of road signs in images is usually based on first detecting road signs location using color and shape information. In this paper, we introduce such a two-stage detection method. Road signs are located in images based on color segmentation, and their corresponding shape is retrieved using a unified shape representation based on Gielis curves. The contribution of our approach is the shape reconstruction method which permits to detect any common road sign shape, i.e. circle, triangle, rectangle and octagon, by a single algorithm without any training phase. Experimental…
