Fast prototyping of a SoC-based smart-camera: a real-time fall detection case study
2014
International audience; Smart camera, i.e. cameras that are able to acquire and process images in real-time, is a typical example of the new embedded computer vision systems. A key example of application is automatic fall detection, which can be useful for helping elderly people in daily life. In this paper, we propose a methodology for development and fast-prototyping of a fall detection system based on such a smart camera, which allows to reduce the development time compared to standard approaches. Founded on a supervised classification approach, we propose a HW/SW implementation to detect falls in a home environment using a single camera and an optimized descriptor adapted to real-time t…
Real-time flaw detection on a complex object: comparison of results using classification with a support vector machine, boosting, and hyperrectangle-…
2006
We present a classification work performed on industrial parts using artificial vision, a support vector machine (SVM), boost- ing, and a combination of classifiers. The object to be controlled is a coated heater used in television sets. Our project consists of detect- ing anomalies under manufacturer production, as well as in classi- fying the anomalies among 20 listed categories. Manufacturer speci- fications require a minimum of ten inspections per second without a decrease in the quality of the produced parts. This problem is ad- dressed by using a classification system relying on real-time ma- chine vision. To fulfill both real-time and quality constraints, three classification algorit…
Real Time Robust Embedded Face Detection Using High Level Description
2011
Face detection is a fundamental prerequisite step in the process of face recognition. It consists of automatically finding all the faces in an image despite the considerable variations of lighting, background, appearance of people, position/orientation of faces, and their sizes. This type of object detection has the distinction of having a very large intra-class, making it a particularly difficult problem to solve, especially when one wishes to achieve real time processing. A human being has a great ability to analyze images. He can extract the information about it and focus only on areas of interest (the phenomenon of attention). Thereafter he can detect faces in an extremely reliable way.…
Macedonio Fernandez: Vision Pura e istante eterno
2013
Il complesso percorso che conduce ad uno sguardo puro sui misteri del mondo si può realizzare, secondo Macedonio Fernández, attraverso uno sforzo dissociativo, mirato al raggiungimento di una percezione depurata dalle reminiscenze dell’appercezione. Questo tortuoso processo prende il nome di contemplación. Si tratta di un indagine critica sulla natura delle nostre percezioni, finalizzata alla confutazione delle nozioni dell’Io, della Materia, dello Spazio e del Tempo. Solamente dopo quest’analisi critica si potrà raggiungere lo ‘stato mistico’ che Macedonio definisce «ser el mundo sin sujeto ni objeto» o «la actitud de existir sin el yo». La Visión Pura alla quale Macedonio Fernández aspira…
Target point calculation in the computerized tomography. Comparison of different stereotactic methods
1995
The adaptation of computerized tomography for stereotactic operations requires the transformation of the coordinates of the target point from the CT image space into the stereotactic frame space. Two basic solutions for this transformation are realized in the most of the contemporary stereotactical systems. The indirect geometric method adjusts the frame coordinate system mechanically and identifies its origin in the CT image. There are 6 degrees of freedom: 3 of rotation and 3 of translation which have to be taken into consideration. The second method is a based on direct algebraic coordinate transformation and is independent of the explicite knowledge of the relationship between the image…
Ocular tilt reaction: a clinical sign of cerebellar infarctions?
2009
Ocular tilt reaction (OTR) consists of head tilt, ocular torsion (OT), and skew deviation (SKD) combined with perceptual tilts such as deviations of the subjective visual vertical (SVV). Few case reports have shown that OTR also occurs in patients with cerebellar infarctions.1–4 However, no systematic clinical studies are available on the frequency of signs of OTR in patients with cerebellar lesions. Therefore, the questions arose as to whether OTR is a common clinical sign of an acute cerebellar lesion and whether the time course of its components is similar to those from brainstem infarctions. The cerebellar structures involved in 31 patients were studied in detail elsewhere.5 ### Methods…
3D DCE-MRI Radiomic Analysis for Malignant Lesion Prediction in Breast Cancer Patients
2022
Rationale and Objectives: To develop and validate a radiomic model, with radiomic features extracted from breast Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (DCE-MRI) from a 1.5T scanner, for predicting the malignancy of masses with enhancement. Images were acquired using an 8-channel breast coil in the axial plane. The rationale behind this study is to show the feasibility of a radio-mics-powered model that could be integrated into the clinical practice by exploiting only standard-of-care DCE-MRI with the goal of reducing the required image pre-processing (ie, normalization and quantitative imaging map generation).Materials and Methods: 107 radiomic features were extracted from a …
Miopijas attīstību ietekmējošie faktori
2021
Darbs ir uzrakstīts latviešu valodā uz 36 lappusēm. Tajā kopā ir 24 attēli un 11 tabulas. Darbā kopā ir 35 atsauces uz literatūras avotiem. Darba mērķis : Novērtēt faktorus, kuri ietekmē miopijas progresēšanu. Pētījuma ietvaros tika izveidotas divas aptaujas. Aptaujā iegūtie dati tika apkopoti no 71 respondenta. Lai salīdzinātu un analizētu aptaujā iegūto dalībnieku datus un noskaidrotu, kā miopija progresē, papildus tika izmantots arī miopijas kalkulators. Tā kā miopijas kalkulatora piedāvātajām miopijas progresiju līknēm ir informatīvs raksturs, tad bērnu vecākiem kopā ar acu ārstu vai optometristu miopijas kalkulators varētu palīdzēt pieņemt labāko lēmumu miopijas korekcijas izvēlē. Atsl…

Hybrid Methods for Robust Irradiance Analysis and 3-D Shape Reconstruction from Images
1994
The analysis of the differential structure of images is an interesting task in machine vision, among other reasons because it can provide relevant featural representation of images, suited for higher level information processing task like geometry reconstruction and object recognition. The importance of invariants of the field of isophotae on lambertian surfaces in shape perception by means of chiaroscuro is discussed in (Koenderink and Van Doom, 1980). In their approach to shape from shading, (Breton et al, 1992) represent the shading of the image by means of its shading flow field, i.e. by the first order differential structure of the image expressed as the isoluminance direction and grad…
