Development of new techniques for super-resolution video sequences : Towards a real-time implementation on Smart Camera

2020

These thesis works are part of an european project aiming to design a very hight resolution (8k) video camera. Within this project our team had the task of working on two technological aspects: (1) the design of a demonstrator carrying out a realtime deconvolution of a video stream coming from a very high resolution camera created by the consortium , (2) the design of a prototype allowing to increase the resolution and the level of detail of video streams from an input resolution of 4k to 8k using Super Resolution (SR) methods. This manuscript mainly presents the work related to the creation of the prototype realizing a Super Resolution method. In order to be able to assess the qualitative …

Laboratory leaching studies of oryzalin and diuron through three undisturbed vineyard soil columns

2004

Article de revue (Article scientifique dans une revue à comité de lecture); International audience; The leaching of diuron and oryzalin through undisturbed soil columns was studied in the laboratory using three vineyard soils from Vosne-Romanée (Burgundy): a rendosol, a calcosol and a vegetated calcosol. After 845 mm of simulated rainfall in 15 days, soil leachates contained higher amounts of diuron (3.2%, 11.8% and 18.8% of applied diuron, respectively) than oryzalin (0.2%, 4.9%, 3.7%, respectively). A greater proportion of soil extractable residues was obtained for diuron (42.5%, 26.8% and 32.2%, respectively) than for oryzalin (14.7%, 12% and 15.5%, respectively). The greater mobility of…

Leaching of oryzalin and diuron through undisturbed vineyard soil columns under outdoor conditions

2006

12 pages; International audience; Field studies monitoring herbicide pollution in the vineyards of Burgundy (France) have revealed that drinking water reservoirs are contaminated with several pre-emergence herbicides. An assessment of the leaching of two such herbicides, diuron and oryzalin, was therefore performed using lysimeters, under outdoor conditions, from May 2001 to May 2002. Four vineyard soils from Vosne-Roman?(Burgundy) were chosen along a topolithosequence: a rendosol and three calcosols. After 673 mm of rainfall, greater amounts of diuron than oryzalin were measured in percolates: respectively 0.10-0.84% and 0.02-0.43% of applied herbicide, depending on soils. Measurements for…

Texture matters- Food pieces and developmental milestones

2022

Objectives and Study: While breastfeeding practices and age at complementary feeding introduction are well-recognised features of infant feeding, introduction to food texture has received little attention. Yet, timely exposure to diverse food textures could relate to later development of eating skills for proper chewing of food pieces, eating behaviour patterns and ultimately healthy growth. Moreover, the muscles involved in chewing praxis are the same as those involved in language praxis. The present study investigates the effects of introduction of food pieces on the development of gross motor skills and language expression in early life. - Methods We used data from the ELFE study (Étude …

Influence of composition and texture on in-mouth sodium release and saltiness perception during consumption of semi-hard cheeses

2011

Sodium content in human diet being excessive in many industrialized country, health authorities recommended its progressive reduction in food products in order both to improve public health and to decrease health cost (1). Cheese is one of the most important sodium vectors. However, salt (NaCl) is not only responsible for saltiness but is also implied in other functionalities such as flavour enhancement, texture, preservation (2). Keeping a good acceptability of food by the consumer at lower sodium chloride concentration is a real challenge for cheese industry to avoid negative consequences. To reach this goal, it is necessary to understand the role of cheese structure and composition on th…

Promouvoir l'introduction d'une alimentation diversifiée en morceaux : étude qualitative de l'effet d'une intervention

2019

La diversification alimentaire, période clé de formation des habitudes alimentaires, permet à l'enfant de découvrir de nouveaux goûts et textures. L'introduction d'aliments texturés est recommandée entre 8 et 10 mois pour tendre vers l'alimentation familiale. Des données récentes montrent qu'en France une majorité d'enfants reçoit une alimentation principalement mixée jusqu'à 12 mois. Cette étude qualitative vise à comprendre les effets d'une étude interventionnelle favorisant l'introduction des textures dans l'alimentation des enfants entre 8 et 15 mois. Soixante enfants ont participé à cette étude. Leur comportement envers différentes textures a été évalué au laboratoire à 8 et 15 mois. L…

The texture of food for infants and young children

2014

The weaning period is a transition from milk to family foods and is a critical phase for the development of food acceptance and eating habits of children. The texture of the complementary food introduced plays an important role in shaping preferences. It is known that early introduction of solid food and experience in difficult-to-chew textures could enhance later food acceptance. Texture acceptance follows the developmental sequence of oral functions and infants are more likely to accept texture they can manipulate in mouth. The development of these functions (mainly chewing) is thought to depend on the texture infants are exposed to. Infant refusing foods that require significant chewing …
