3D ACQUISITION SYSTEM APPLIED TO AGRONOMIC SCENES
2012
International audience; To improve results in automatic wheat ear counting by proxy-detection for early yield prediction, we need depth information of the scene. In this paper, we describe our 3D acquisition system dedicated to reconstruction of agronomic scenes. This system is composed of a camera mounted on a linear displacement driven by a microcontroller. The linear displacement allows acquiring a set of images in different distances to the scene. This image stack is used to apply shape from focus technique which is a passive and monocular 3D reconstruction method. This technique consists in the application of a focus measure for every pixel in the stack. An approximation method is used…
Conception d’un dispositif d’acquisition d’images agronomiques 3D en extérieur et développement des traitements associés pour la détection et la reco…
2013
Thèse de Doctorat Sciences pour l’Ingénieur et Microtechniques, Spécialité Instrumentation et Information de l’Image Agrosup ECOLDUR (2013); Dans le cadre de l’acquisition de l’information de profondeur de scènes texturées, un processus d’estimation de la profondeur basé sur la méthode de reconstruction 3D « Shape from Focus » est présenté dans ce manuscrit. Les deux étapes fondamentales de cette approche sont l’acquisition de la séquence d’images de la scène par sectionnement optique et l’évaluation de la netteté locale pour chaque pixel des images acquises. Deux systèmes d’acquisition de cette séquence d’images sont présentés ainsi que les traitements permettant d’exploiter celle-ci pour …
RICOSTRUIRE - 4/5 : Architettura, Storia, Rappresentazione
2022
Editoriale (Marco Rosario Nobile): Sin dal 2016, data della pubblicazione del terzo e ultimo numero di “Ricostruire”, sono state molteplici le occasioni e le circostanze che suggerivano di riprendere una iniziativa che si era rivelata estremamente fertile. Nel Dipartimento di Architettura di Palermo, le collaborazioni tra i docenti del settore del Disegno e quelli di Storia dell’Architettura sono state continue: il segnale di una convergenza di interessi ma probabilmente anche una necessità reciproca di portare a esiti soddisfacenti i processi di ricerca. Molti saggi o interventi in convegni hanno quindi visto la partecipazione di docenti dei due settori; nell’attività dipartimentale corren…
The Church of S. Maria Delle Palate in Tusa (Messina, Italy): Digitization and Diagnostics for a New Model of Enjoyment
2022
Cultural places represent the tangible part of the identity and historical heritage of a civilization as well as an extraordinary driving force for the economic development of a country. Within its huge asset, Italy counts a wide number of archaeological sites and monuments which, despite their cultural value, are totally cut off from the most important cultural routes. This paper aims to demonstrate how specific actions of digitization can contribute to valorize (restoring a cultural value) ‘marginal’ landmarks, promoting their knowledge and inclusion. The case study described is represented by the Church of “Santa Maria delle Palate”, located inside the well-known …
Auditory P3a response to native and foreign speech in children with or without attentional deficit
2023
The aim of this study was to investigate the attentional mechanism in speech processing of native and foreign language in children with and without attentional deficit. For this purpose, the P3a component, cognitive neuromarker of the attentional processes, was investigated in a two-sequence two-deviant oddball paradigm using Finnish and English speech items via event-related potentials (ERP) technique. The difference waves reflected the temporal brain dynamics of the P3a response in native and foreign language contexts. Cluster-based permutation tests evaluated the group differences over the P3a time window. A correlation analysis was conducted between the P3a response and the attention sc…

Neutrinos below 100 TeV from the southern sky employing refined veto techniques to IceCube data
2020
Many Galactic sources of gamma rays, such as supernova remnants, are expected to produce neutrinos with a typical energy cutoff well below 100 TeV. For the IceCube Neutrino Observatory located at the South Pole, the southern sky, containing the inner part of the Galactic plane and the Galactic Center, is a particularly challenging region at these energies, because of the large background of atmospheric muons. In this paper, we present recent advancements in data selection strategies for track-like muon neutrino events with energies below 100 TeV from the southern sky. The strategies utilize the outer detector regions as veto and features of the signal pattern to reduce the background of atm…
ALGORITHM OF PARTIAL BREAST RECONSTRUCTION WITH PEDICLED PERFORATOR FLAPS
2010
INTRODUCTION: The authors present an algorithm of partial breast reconstruction following quadrantectomy that allows to restore the breast volume defect with the use of pedicled perforator flaps. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Between March 2009 and May 2010, at the Plastic and Reconstructive Institute of University of Palermo, pedicled perforator flaps were used to integrate volume and/or breast skin in 12 patients after benign and malignant breast tumors. The flaps used were based on perforators of the thoraco-dorsal artery (TDAP) and of the intercostal arteries (ICAP). TDAP flaps were used to reconstruct defects in any breast quadrant, while ICAP perforator were used to reconstruct lateral and ce…
Features extraction on complex images
2005
The accessibility of inexpensive and powerful computers has allowed true digital holography to be used for industrial inspection using microscopy. This technique allows the capture of a complex image (i.e., one containing magnitude and phase), and the reconstruction of the phase and magnitude information. Digital holograms give a new dimension to texture analysis, since the topology information can be used as an additional way to extract features. This new technique can be used to extend previous work on the image segmentation of patterned wafers for defect detection. The paper presents a comparison between the features obtained using Gabor filtering on complex images under illumination and…
Extended Depth-of-Field 3-D Display and Visualization by Combination of Amplitude-Modulated Microlenses and Deconvolution Tools
2005
One of the main challenges in 3-D display and visualization is to overcome its limited depth of field. Such limitation is due to the fast deterioration of lateral resolution for out-of-focus object positions. Here we propose a new method to significantly extend the depth of field. The method is based on the combined benefits of a proper amplitude modulation of the microlenses, and the application of deconvolution tools. Numerical tests are presented to verify the theoretical analysis.
