UNE APPROCHE PARALLELE D'EVALUATION DES PARAMETRES DE TEXTURE POUR L'ANALYSE D'IMAGES DE GRANDE TAILLE

2011

International audience; The main objective of this paper is to develop a new image processing technique that could better be adapted to the processing of large and complex images, especially SAR images, in relation to the former methods of our works. We propose here a new approach of textural parameters evaluation which is about (Ng+1)n-1 times faster than the co-occurrence matrix approach considered as classical, where n is the order of the textural parameter and Ng being the maximum grey level in the image. This approach is based on a new modeling of textural parameters of a generic order n>1 equivalent to the classical formulation, but which is no longer based on frequency matrix (co-occ…

Does oral health affect food comfortability and bolus properties during consumption of dairy products in elderly population?

2017

The elderly population is growing increasingly. In 2030, 1/3 of the population will be over 60 years old. However this population has specific nutritional needs and often, oral impairments such as loss of tooth and/or decrease of salivary flow. Therefore it is necessary to develop foods adapted for the elderly, in terms of organoleptic properties and nutritional composition. In this context, the purpose of this work is to study the impact of oral impairments of elderly persons on food comfortability and bolus properties during the consumption of dairy products.76 elderly persons (ages 66 to 88, 42 women and 34 men), with or without oral health problems in terms of dental and/or salivary sta…

Visual saliency by keypoints distribution analysis

2011

In this paper we introduce a new method for Visual Saliency detection. The goal of our method is to emphasize regions that show rare visual aspects in comparison with those showing frequent ones. We propose a bottom up approach that performs a new technique based on low level image features (texture) analysis. More precisely, we use SIFT Density Maps (SDM), to study the distribution of keypoints into the image with different scales of observation, and its relationship with real fixation points. The hypothesis is that the image regions that show a larger distance from the mode (most frequent value) of the keypoints distribution over all the image are the same that better capture our visual a…

Interactions arôme saveur texture

2012

L’acceptabilité des aliments par le consommateur dépend, en partie, de leurs propriétés sensorielles. La perception de l’arôme et de la saveur est principalement liée à la présence de molécules odorantes ou sapides. Néanmoins la perception de l’arôme peut être modifiée par la présence de certaines saveurs et réciproquement, par l’existence d’interactions perceptives. De même la texture de l’aliment va influencer la perception de son arôme et de sa saveur, principalement par l’existence d’interactions physicochimiques entre les molécules au sein de l’aliment ou par des modifications de la libération des molécules odorantes et sapides lors de la mastication. De ce fait, faire varier l’une de …

ESTIMATING SOIL PARTICLE-SIZE DISTRIBUTION FOR SICILIAN SOILS

2009

The soil particle-size distribution (PSD) is commonly used for soil classification and for estimating soil behavior. An accurate mathematical representation of the PSD is required to estimate soil hydraulic properties and to compare texture measurements from different classification systems. The objective of this study was to evaluate the ability of the Haverkamp and Parlange (HP) and Fredlund et al. (F) PSD models to fit 243 measured PSDs from a wide range of 38 005_Bagarello(547)_33 18-11-2009 11:55 Pagina 38 soil textures in Sicily and to test the effect of the number of measured particle diameters on the fitting of the theoretical PSD. For each soil textural class, the best fitting perf…

Local mechanical properties by Atomic Force Microscopy nanoindentations

2008

The analysis of mechanical properties on a nanometer scale is a useful tool for combining information concerning texture organization obtained by microscopy with the properties of individual components- Moreover, this technique promotes the understanding of the hierarchical arrangement in complex natural materials as well in the case of simpler morphologies arising from industrial processes. Atomic Force Microscopy, AFM, can bridge morphological information, obtained with outstanding resolution, to local mechanical properties. When performing an AFM nanoindentation, the rough force curve, i.e., the plot of the voltage output from the photodiode vs. the voltage applied to the piezo-scanner, …
