Terahertz Biomedical Imaging: From Multivariate Analysis and Detection to Material Parameter Extraction

2017

Terahertz imaging is an interesting route for biomedical analysis. In particular, cancer imaging is a subject of study for different teams [1,2]. A work is done in Bordeaux in partnership with a hospital to do terahertz analysis of breast tissue. This work is done in reflection with time domain imaging setup with fresh samples. The aim is to accurately assess tumor margins and which could in the future allow a quick validation of the precision of the surgical procedure and know if new surgery should be performed. We have presented in a previous paper [3] the use of automatic methods of image generation with different parameters [4] in order to explore the different contrasts that exist in t…

In vitro simulation of spiral waves in cardiomyocyte networks using multi-electrode array technology

2009

International audience; We aimed thus to provide new insights into the cellular origin of the fibrillation phenomenon by exploring the impulse propagation between cardiac myocytes in confluent monolayers of cultured cardiomyocytes (CM),

Développement opérationnel en grandes cultures semées en ligne d’une rampe de pulvérisation grande largeur localisée sur le rang

2019

National audience; Pour réduire l’utilisation des herbicides, une des solutions possibles est de ne traiter que le rang en post-levée et de biner l’inter-rang ensuite. Terres Inovia, en collaboration avec la Coopérative Agricole Lorraine, a mis en place des essais au champ sur colza et tournesol avec la rampe localisée Marechal, dans le but de mettre au point cette technique pour des rampes de grande largeur avec une bonne qualité de pulvérisation sur le rang et un type de guidage adapté à des terres à colza, plus irrégulières que les terres à betterave sur lesquelles la rampe avait été développée. L’objectif est également d’évaluer les efficacités de la technique (satisfaction du désherbag…

Optimizing Hough transform for fertilizer spreading optical control

2006

International audience; In Europe, centrifugal spreading is a widely used method for agricultural soil fertilization. In this broadcasting method, fertilizer particles fall onto a spinning disk, are accelerated by a vane, and afterward are ejected into the field. To predict and control the spread pattern, a low-cost, embeddable technology adapted to farm implements must be developed. We focus on obtaining the velocity and the direction of fertilizer granules when they begin their flight by means of a simple imaging system. We first show that the outlet angle of the vane is a bounded value and that its measurement provides the outlet velocity of the particle. Consequently, a simple camera un…

Aerial multispectral imagery for site specific weed management

2017

AGROSUPSPEEAGESTADCT1DOCT; In an agroecological context (French Law on the Future of Agriculture), the reduction of herbicide uses become a crucial issue. It requires developing new technologies allowing a better knowledge of the field. The company AIRINOV, specialized in use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) dedicated to precision agriculture wants to explore a new approach by UAV to localize weed infestation areas. This work aims to develop a method analyzing images acquired by UAV to detect and map weeds in a field. The study is carried out on crops widely grown in France and requiring weed control at a young state of the plant : maize, sunflower and sugar beet. With its on-board sensors …

Image acquisition and processing for precision farming applications

2015

Initially developed for technical industrial sectors such as medicine or aeronautics, imaging technics are more and more used since 30 years in agriculture and viticulture. The development of acquisition tool and the decreasing of the calculation time allowed using imagery in laboratory under controlled conditions. At the beginning of the 90’s, the concept of Precision Farming has been developed in the USA, considering a field as a heterogeneous area needing different input in terms of fertiliser or protection product. In the same time, the aperture of the GPS system for civil applications has allowed the development of remote sensing domain. Combining GPS information and imagery conducted …

A 3-D simulation with virtual stereo rig for centrifugal fertilizer spreading

2012

International audience; Stereovision can be used to characterize of the fertilizer centrifugal spreading process and to control the spreading fertilizer distribution pattern on the ground reference. Fertilizer grains, however, resemble each other and the grain images contain little information on texture. Therefore, the accuracy of stereo matching algorithms in literature cannot be used as a reference for stereo images of fertilizer grains. In order to evaluate stereo matching algorithms applied to images of grains a generator of synthetic stereo particle images is presented in this paper. The particle stereo image generator consists of two main parts: the particle 3D position generator and…
