Binding properties of mono-6-amino-beta-cyclodextrin towards p-nitroaniline derivatives: a polarimetric study

Real time polarization imaging of weld pool surface

2015

The search for an efficient on-line monitoring system focused on the real-time analysis of arc welding quality is an active area of research. The topography and the superficial temperature field of the weld pool can provide important information which can be used to regulate the welding parameters for depositing consistent welds. One difficulty relies on accessing this information despite the bright dazzling welding arc. In the present work, Stokes polarimetry and associated shape-from-polarization methods are applied for the analysis of the weld pool through its 810 nm-wavelength infrared emissions. The obtained information can provide a better understanding of the process, such as the usa…

3D reconstruction of external and internal surfaces of transparent objects from polarization state of highlights

2014

A vision-based method is proposed to measure the 3D shape of external and internal surfaces (not accessible) of smooth transparent objects. Looking at the reflections of point sources on a specular surface with a polarimetric camera, we combine the measurements of two techniques: shape from distortion and shape from polarization. It permits us to recover the position and orientation of the specular surface for each detected point. The internal surface of transparent objects exhibiting as well a specular component, the same technique is used on the highlights coming from the back surface, taking into account the refraction by using polarimetric ray tracing.

Retrieval of vegetation height in rice fields using polarimetric SAR interferometry with TanDEM-X data

2017

This work presents for the first time a demonstration with satellite data of polarimetric SAR interferometry (PolInSAR) applied to the retrieval of vegetation height in rice fields. Three series of dual-pol interferometric SAR data acquired with large baselines (2–3 km) by the TanDEM-X system during its science phase (April–September 2015) are exploited. A novel inversion algorithm especially suited for rice fields cultivated in flooded soil is proposed and evaluated. The validation is carried out over three test sites located in geographically different areas: Sevilla (SW Spain), Valencia (E Spain), and Ipsala (W Turkey), in which different rice types are present. Results are obtained duri…

Binding properties of mono-(6-deoxy-6-amino)-β-cyclodextrin towards p-nitroaniline derivatives: a polarimetric study

2009

Abstract Polarimetry was used in order to investigate the formation of supramolecular complexes between mono-6-amino-β-cyclodextrin and various p-nitroaniline derivatives at two different pH values. Comparison with the behaviour of native β-cyclodextrin gave us the opportunity to consider the effect exerted by the presence of charged groups, having different solvation requirements, on the binding equilibrium. Data offer some support to the hypothesis of ‘dynamic co-inclusion’ of solvent molecules within the host–guest complex.

Contributions à l’imagerie polarimétrique et à ses applications en vision pour la robotique

2019

Ce mémoire présente le bilan de l'ensemble de mes travaux de recherche effectués de septembre 2006 à juin 2019 au sein de l'équipe Creusotine du laboratoire Le2i devenue équipe Vibot ERL CNRS 6000 depuis janvier 2018. Les principales activités de recherche que j'ai menées au cours de ces 10 dernières années autour de l'imagerie polarimétrique, de la vision omnidirectionnelle et de leurs applications en vision pour la robotique seront particulièrement détaillées dans ce document. Elles seront présentées selon deux grandes parties : la première concernera plutôt l'aspect mise en œuvre et calibrage des caméras et la seconde se concentrera sur les applications potentielles en vision pour la rob…
