Multispectral colour analysis for quantitative evaluation of pseudoisochromatic color deficiency tests
2010
Multispectral color analysis was used for spectral scanning of Ishihara and Rabkin color deficiency test book images. It was done using tunable liquid-crystal LC filters built in the Nuance II analyzer. Multispectral analysis keeps both, information on spatial content of tests and on spectral content. Images were taken in the range of 420-720nm with a 10nm step. We calculated retina neural activity charts taking into account cone sensitivity functions, and processed charts in order to find the visibility of latent symbols in color deficiency plates using cross-correlation technique. In such way the quantitative measure is found for each of diagnostics plate for three different color deficie…
Retrieval of oceanic chlorophyll concentration with relevance vector machines
2006
Abstract In this communication, we evaluate the performance of the relevance vector machine (RVM) for the estimation of biophysical parameters from remote sensing data. For illustration purposes, we focus on the estimation of chlorophyll-a concentrations from remote sensing reflectance just above the ocean surface. A variety of bio-optical algorithms have been developed to relate measurements of ocean radiance to in situ concentrations of phytoplankton pigments, and ultimately most of these algorithms demonstrate the potential of quantifying chlorophyll-a concentrations accurately from multispectral satellite ocean color data. Both satellite-derived data and in situ measurements are subject…
Minimum configuration of thermal infrared bands for land surface temperature and emissivity estimation in the context of potential future missions
2014
Abstract A number of applications rely on the availability of high resolution TIR data, both in terms of spatial and temporal resolution, as well as in terms of spectral configuration. A consensus exists among the thermal community regarding the lack of such a kind of data, since only one operational sensor is currently providing multispectral TIR data at high spatial resolution (the case of ASTER, at 90 m spatial resolution and a 16-day revisit time). In this paper we propose a minimum multispectral configuration to allow the retrieval of both land surface temperature (LST) and emissivity ( e ) from thermal infra-red (TIR) data. For this purpose, we propose a minimum configuration based on…
Towards to deep neural network application with limited training data: synthesis of melanoma's diffuse reflectance spectral images
2019
The goal of our study is to train artificial neural networks (ANN) using multispectral images of melanoma. Since the number of multispectral images of melanomas is limited, we offer to synthesize them from multispectral images of benign skin lesions. We used the previously created melanoma diagnostic criterion p'. This criterion is calculated from multispectral images of skin lesions captured under 526nm, 663nm, and 964nm LED illumination. We synthesize these three images from multispectral images of nevus so that the p' map matches the melanoma criteria (the values in the lesion area is >1, respectively). Demonstrated results show that by transforming multispectral images of benign nevus i…
Comparison of Thermal Infrared Emissivities Retrieved With the Two-Lid Box and the TES Methods With Laboratory Spectra
2009
Knowledge of surface emissivity in the thermal infrared (TIR) region is critical for determining the land surface temperature (LST) from remote-sensing measurements. If emissivity is not well determined, it can cause a significant systematic error in obtaining the LST. The main aim of this paper is to compare different methods for measuring accurate land surface emissivity in the field, namely, the box method and the temperature and emissivity separation (TES) algorithm. Field emissivities were compared with soil spectra from laboratory measurements. Emissivities were measured for the bands of a multispectral radiometer CE312-2 with effective wavelengths at 8.4, 8.7, 9.1, 10.6, and 11.3 mum…
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…
Comparison of Bathymetric estimation using different satellite images in coastal sea waters
2009
Bathymetric estimation can be obtained from multispectral satellite images for shallow waters. The method is based on the rotation of a pair of spectral bands. One of the resulting images is depth-dependent. Therefore several pixels corresponding to different depths are required to numerically evaluate the linear relation between the pixel values and the real depth for a training area. The aim of this study is to compare, for one bathymetric estimation method and one mesotrophic site, the results of depth estimation with a large panel of satellite and aerial images: CASI, QUICKBIRD, CHRIS PROBA, ETM, HYPERION and MeRIS. For each image the pair of spectral bands chosen to compute the bathyme…
Multispectral Imaging using a Stereo Camera: Concept, Design and Assessment
2011
This paper proposes a one-shot six-channel multispectral color image acquisition system using a stereo camera and a pair of optical filters. The two filters from the best pair selected from among readily available filters such that they modify the sensitivities of the two cameras in such a way that they produce optimal estimation of spectral reflectance and/or color are placed in front of the two lenses of the stereo camera. The two images acquired from the stereo camera are then registered for pixel-to-pixel correspondence. The spectral reflectance and/or color at each pixel on the scene are estimated from the corresponding camera outputs in the two images. Both simulations and experiments…
Spatially variant dimensionality reduction for the visualization of multi/hyperspectral images
2011
International audience; In this paper, we introduce a new approach for color visu- alization of multi/hyperspectral images. Unlike traditional methods, we propose to operate a local analysis instead of considering that all the pixels are part of the same population. It takes a segmentation map as an input and then achieves a dimensionality reduction adaptively inside each class of pixels. Moreover, in order to avoid unappealing discon- tinuities between regions, we propose to make use of a set of distance transform maps to weigh the mapping applied to each pixel with regard to its relative location with classes' centroids. Results on two hyperspec- tral datasets illustrate the efficiency of…
Validation of a 2D multispectral camera: application to dermatology/cosmetology on a population covering five skin phototypes
2011
International audience; This paper presents the validation of a new multispectral camera specifically developed for dermatological application based on healthy participants from five different Skin PhotoTypes (SPT). The multispectral system provides images of the skin reflectance at different spectral bands, coupled with a neural network-based algorithm that reconstructs a hyperspectral cube of cutaneous data from a multispectral image. The flexibility of neural network based algorithm allows reconstruction at different wave ranges. The hyperspectral cube provides both high spectral and spatial information. The study population involves 150 healthy participants. The participants are classif…
