The algorithms were tested against each to see if an automatic snake algorithm could be feasible for use in an image database for shape extraction. The conducted tests showed that EDISON yielded the best results, and that snake should be given further work before being considered.

is presented. The aim is to increase the efficiency by decreasing the time spent on handling these measurements and by increasing the accuracy of measured hindleg and forewing features. The problem is studied from the acquisition of the microscope images, to the feature extraction of the honeybee features. In this scope, suitable methods are developed for segmentation of honeybee hindleg and forewing images. Within intermediate steps, blob analysis is utilized, and edges of the forewing and hindlegs are thinned using skeletonization. Templates that represent the forewing and hindleg edges are formed by either Bezier Curves or Polynomial Interpolation. In the feature extraction phase, Active Contour (Snake) algorithm is applied to the images in order to find the critical points using these templates.

Full textLa première méthode s'appuie sur une méthode statistique, modélisant le signal analysé par un signal d'intérêt à segmenter perturbé par un bruit blanc gaussien additif de variance inconnue. Le but est de déterminer le support temps-fréquence, ensemble des points sur lesquels l'énergie du signal à segmenter est répartie. Une détection de type Neyman-Pearson à probabilité de fausse alarme fixée permet de détecter les points temps-fréquence contenant du signal, à niveau de bruit connu. L'algorithme proposé est itératif, estimant le niveau de bruit à partir des points non segmentés, ce niveau de bruit servant à détecter de nouveaux points contenant du signal. Un critère basé sur le kurtosis spectral des points non segmentés permet de définir l'arrêt des itérations.
La seconde méthode est basée sur le principe de la réallocation du spectrogramme, en tant que source d'information sur le spectrogramme. La réallocation déplace l'énergie du spectrogramme sur le centre de gravité local de l'énergie. Aux frontière d'un motif temps-fréquence, l'énergie sera déplacée vers l'intérieur du motif. Ainsi, les vecteur
s de réallocation, décrivant le déplacement de l'énergie du pectrogramme par la réallocation, sont localement parallèles sur la frontière d'un motif. Nous définissons alors un « degré de parallélisme » pour chaque vecteur, égal au nombre de ses vecteurs voisins qui lui sont parallèles. Un algorithme de type suivi de crête, parcourant le plan temps-fréquence en suivant les maximums de ce degré de parallélisme, construit alors un contour entourant le motif temps-fréquence.

Full textLocating and segmenting objects such as bones or internal organs is a common problem in medical imaging. Existing segmentation methods are often cumbersome to use for medical staff, since they require a close initial guess and a range of different parameters to be set appropriately. For this work, we present a two-stage segmentation framework which relies on an initial isosurface interactively extracted by topological analysis. The initial isosurface seldom provides a correct segmentation, so we refine the surface using an iterative level set method to better match the desired object boundary. We present applications and improvements to both the flexible isosurface interface and level set segmentation without edges.

Full textThe objective of this thesis is to develop and validate robust approaches for the semi-automatic extraction of road networks in dense urban areas from very high resolution (VHR) optical satellite images. Our models are based on the recently developed higher-order active contour (HOAC) phase field framework. The problem is difficult for two main reasons : HR images are intrinsically complex and network regions may have arbitrary topology. To tackle the complexity of the information contained in VHR images, we propose a multiresolution statistical data model and a multiresolution constrained prior model. They enable the integration of segmentation results from coarse resolution and fine resolution. Subsequently, for the particular case of road map updating, we present a specific shape prior model derived from and outdated GIS digital map. This specific prior term balances the effect of the generic prior knowledge carried by the HOAC model, which describes the geometric shape of road networks in general. However, the classical of curvature, thereby providing a poor model of networks with straight narrow branches or highly cured, wide branches. We solve this problem by introducing two new models : one with an additional nonlinear nonlocal HOAC term, and one with an additional linear nonlocal HOAC term. Both terms allow separate control of branch width and branch curvature, and furnish better prolongation for the same width, but the linear term has several advantages : it is more efficient from a computational standpoint, and it is able to conditions for a long bar with a given width described by these energies, and hence show how to choose rigorously the parameters of he energy functions. Experiments on VHR satellite images and comparisons with other approaches demonstrate the superiority of our models

Full textLa industria de la música fue una de las primeras en verse completamente reestructurada por los avances de la tecnología digital, y hoy en día tenemos acceso a miles de canciones almacenadas en nuestros dispositivos móviles y a millones más a través de servicios en la nube. Dada esta inmensa cantidad de música al nuestro alcance, necesitamos nuevas maneras de describir, indexar, buscar e interactuar con el contenido musical. Esta tesis se centra en una tecnología que abre las puertas a nuevas aplicaciones en este área: la extracción automática de la melodía a partir de una grabación musical polifónica. Mientras que identificar la melodía de una pieza es algo que los humanos pueden hacer relativamente bien, hacerlo de forma automática presenta mucha complejidad, ya que requiere combinar conocimiento de procesado de señal, acústica, aprendizaje automático y percepción sonora. Esta tarea se conoce en el ámbito de investigación como “extracción de melodía”, y consiste técnicamente en estimar la secuencia de alturas correspondiente a la melodía predominante de una pieza musical a partir del análisis de la señal de audio. Esta tesis presenta un método innovador para la extracción de la melodía basado en el seguimiento y caracterización de contornos tonales. En la tesis, mostramos cómo se pueden explotar las características de contornos en combinación con reglas basadas en la percepción auditiva, para identificar la melodía a partir de todo el contenido tonal de una grabación, tanto de manera heurística como a través de modelos aprendidos automáticamente. A través de una iniciativa internacional de evaluación comparativa de algoritmos, comprobamos además que el método propuesto obtiene resultados punteros. De hecho, logra la precisión más alta de todos los algoritmos que han participado en la iniciativa hasta la fecha. Además, la tesis demuestra la utilidad de nuestro método en diversas aplicaciones tanto de investigación como para usuarios finales, desarrollando una serie de sistemas que aprovechan la melodía extraída para la búsqueda de música por semejanza (identificación de versiones y búsqueda por tarareo), la clasificación del estilo musical, la transcripción o conversión de audio a partitura, y el análisis musical con métodos computacionales. La tesis también incluye un amplio análisis comparativo del estado de la cuestión en extracción de melodía y el primer análisis crítico existente de la metodología de evaluación de algoritmos de este tipo
La indústria musical va ser una de les primeres a veure's completament reestructurada pels avenços de la tecnologia digital, i avui en dia tenim accés a milers de cançons emmagatzemades als nostres dispositius mòbils i a milions més a través de serveis en xarxa. Al tenir aquesta immensa quantitat de música al nostre abast, necessitem noves maneres de descriure, indexar, buscar i interactuar amb el contingut musical. Aquesta tesi es centra en una tecnologia que obre les portes a noves aplicacions en aquesta àrea: l'extracció automàtica de la melodia a partir d'una gravació musical polifònica. Tot i que identificar la melodia d'una peça és quelcom que els humans podem fer relativament fàcilment, fer-ho de forma automàtica presenta una alta complexitat, ja que requereix combinar coneixement de processament del senyal, acústica, aprenentatge automàtic i percepció sonora. Aquesta tasca es coneix dins de l'àmbit d'investigació com a “extracció de melodia”, i consisteix tècnicament a estimar la seqüència de altures tonals corresponents a la melodia predominant d'una peça musical a partir de l'anàlisi del senyal d'àudio. Aquesta tesi presenta un mètode innovador per a l'extracció de la melodia basat en el seguiment i caracterització de contorns tonals. Per a fer-ho, mostrem com es poden explotar les característiques de contorns combinades amb regles basades en la percepció auditiva per a identificar la melodia a partir de tot el contingut tonal d'una gravació, tant de manera heurística com a través de models apresos automàticament.

De fet, obté la precisió més alta de tots els algoritmes proposats fins la data d'avui. A demés, la tesi demostra la utilitat del mètode en diverses aplicacions tant d'investigació com per a usuaris finals, desenvolupant una sèrie de sistemes que aprofiten la melodia extreta per a la cerca de música per semblança (identificació de versions i cerca per taral•larà), la classificació de l'estil musical, la transcripció o conversió d'àudio a partitura, i l'anàlisi musical amb mètodes computacionals. La tesi també inclou una àmplia anàlisi comparativa de l'estat de l'art en extracció de melodia i la primera anàlisi crítica existent de la metodologia d'avaluació d'algoritmes d'aquesta mena.

Full textThe main objective of this Phd project is to conceive a machine vision system for hot cylindrical metallic shells diameters measurement during forging process. The manuscript is structured by developing in the first chapter the state of the art and the limits of hot metallic shells measurement systems suggested in literature. Our implemented system which is based on two conventional Time Of Flight (TOF) laser scanners has been described in the same chapter along, chapter two, with presentation of its respective numerical simulator. Simulation series have been done using the digitizing simulator and were aimed to determine the optimal positions of the two scanners without any industrial constraints (time, difficulty of operations). The third part of the manuscript copes with 3D primitives extraction. Two major types of approaches have been studied according to the primitive’s form (cylinders or spheres) to be extracted: supervised method and automatic method. The first approach, based on a growing region method and active contour, enables to extract complex extruded forms; while problems of ergonomics have been solved using automatic methods that have been carried out along the programme research. The proposed methods consist in automatically extracting: oval or circular cylindrical forms, using Gauss map associated with ellipse extraction techniques : spherical forms, using heuristic approaches such as RANdom SAmple Consensus RANSAC, Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Niche Genetic Algorithm (NGA). Two varieties of 3D data registration approach have been presented and discussed in chapter 4: the registration based on the artificial targets and the fine registration based on algorithm ICP. A complete system for three-dimensional characterization of hot cylindrical metallic shells during forging process has been implemented and then compared with existing systems in order to identify its performances and limits in conclusion

Resumo: As metodologias para a extração automática de telhados desempenham um papel importante no contexto de aquisição de informação espacial para Sistemas de Informação Geográficas (SIG). Neste sentido, este trabalho propõe uma metodologia para extração automática de contornos de telhado de edifícios utilizando dados de varredura a laser. A metodologia baseiase em duas etapas principais: 1) Extração de regiões altas (edifícios, árvores etc.) de um Modelo Digital de Elevação (MDE) gerado a partir dos dados laser; 2) Extração das regiões altas que correspondem a contornos de telhados. Na primeira etapa são utilizadas as técnicas de divisão recursiva, via estrutura quadtree e de fusão Bayesiana de regiões considerando Markov Random Field (MRF). Inicialmente a técnica de divisão recursiva é usada para particionar o MDE em regiões homogêneas. No entanto, devido a ligeiras diferenças de altura no MDE, nesta etapa a fragmentação das regiões pode ser relativamente alta. Para minimizar essa fragmentação, a técnica de fusão Bayesiana de regiões é aplicada nos dados segmentados. Utiliza-se para tanto um modelo hierárquico, cujas alturas médias das regiões dependem de uma média geral e de um efeito aleatório, que incorpora a relação de vizinhança entre elas. A distribuição a priori para o efeito aleatório é especificada como um modelo condicional auto-regressivo (CAR). As distribuições a posteriori para os parâmetros de interesse foram obtidas utilizando o Amostrador de Gibbs. Na segunda etapa os contornos de telhados são identificados entre todos os objetos altos extraídos na etapa anterior. Levando em conta algumas propriedades de telhados e as medidas de alguns atributos (por exemplo, área, retangularidade, ângulos entre eixos principais de objetos) é construída uma função de energia a partir do modelo MRF.
Abstract: Methodologies for automatic building roof extraction are important in the context of spatial information acquisition for geographical information systems (GIS). Thus, this work proposes a methodology for automatic extraction of building roof contour from laser scanning data. The methodology is based on two stages: 1) Extraction of high regions (buildings, trees etc.) from a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) derived from laser scanning data; 2) Building roof contour extraction. In the first stage is applied the recursive splitting technique using the quadtree structure followed by a Bayesian merging technique considering Markov Random Field (MRF) model. The recursive splitting technique subdivides the DEM into homogeneous regions. However, due to slight height differences in the DEM, in this stage the region fragmentation can be relatively high. In order to minimize the fragmentation, a region merging technique based on the Bayesian framework is applied to the previously segmented data. Thus, a hierarchical model is proposed, whose height values in the data depend on a general mean plus a random effect. The prior distribution for the random effects is specified by the Conditional Autoregressive (CAR) model. The posterior probability distributions are obtained by the Gibbs sampler. In the second stage the building roof contours are identified among all high objects extracted previously.

Full textThe indexing of handwritten scanned documents poses the problem of lines segmentation, if it fails, disabling the following steps of words extraction and recognition. In addition, the ancient Arabic documents contain annotations in the margins, often composed of lines obliquely oriented. The detection of these lines is important as the rest and is a major challenge for the indexing of these documents. Thus, the segmentation described in this thesis involves the extraction of multi-oriented lines. For this problem, the bibliography has only rudimentary techniques based essentially on the projection of the document image along one direction, which be failed in the case of multi-oriented documents. Given this lack, we have proposed an adaptive approach that first locates the different orientation zones, then based on each local orientation to extract the lines. During my thesis, i particularly invested on the following points : - Applying an automatic paving using the active contour model (snake). - Preparation the signal of the projection profile by removing all pixels that are not needed in the orientation estimation. Then, implementation of all energy distributions of Cohen's class on the projection profile to find the best distribution that gives the orientation. - Applying some extension rules to find the oriented zones. - Extraction of lines by using an connected components follow-up algorithm. - Separation of overlapped and touched lines using the morphology of Arabic terminal letters

Full textIn this thesis, we propose a contribution to a methodology for knowledge integration in image processing that we apply to edge detection. We outlined this methodology under the base of the theory of fuzzy information granulation, recently suggested by L A. Zadeh. Thus, we built a contextual model, for an edge detection application, that incorporates knowledge about the elements relating to the acquisition system and that takes into account the imprecision of real contours. This model is inserted in a fuzzy image processing paradigm. This document is articulated in four parts. First, we present our point of view about an industrial vision system. Next, we introduce linguistic modeling as the theoretical base of approximate reasoning as same as the theory of the fuzzy information granulation. Second, we start with a generalization of image processing applications using fuzzy set theory through the paradigm of fuzzy image processing. Then we particularize this paradigm for fuzzy rules system case in order to construct our edge detection operator FRED, (Fuzzy Reasoning Edge Detection). FRED consists of five modules : the extraction of properties, the fuzzification, the reasoning, the defuzzification and the contextual model related to the knowledge base. On the ground of fuzzy information granulation, we presented a methodology to construct the contextual model, implying the stages of granulation, attribution and valuation. Third, we detail the implementation of two operators of detection of contours on the basis of FRED. Although these two operators use the same generic structure and have the same objective, edge detection, they translate nevertheless two different contexts. The results of these operators are then aggregated with a specific fusion operator that we have especially developed. And fourth, we validate the implementations of our two operators\ using Fram and Deutsch criteria on computergenerated images. These criteria reflect the robustness of the operator with respect to the noise and the continuity of the contour's segment.

Full textA variant of Kuramoto's model for phase oscillators with dynamic coupling is studied. The coupling weight is adjusted by the phase difference resulting in a connection which is strengthened for synchronized oscillators and weakened for non-synchronized oscillators. Equilibrium solutions and their stabilities are presents and it is shown the occurrence of saddle-node and Hopf bifurcations. It is shown that networks formed by such oscillators can be used for detecting image border.
Uma variante do modelo de Kuramoto para osciladores de fase com acoplamento dinâmico é estudada. A intensidade do acoplamento é ajustada pela diferença de fases dos osciladores, de forma que a conexão é reforçada para osciladores sincronizados e enfraquecida para osciladores não sincronizados. As soluções de equilíbrio e suas estabilidades são apresentadas, e mostra-se que o sistema apresenta bifurcações sela-nó e de Hopf. Mostra-se que redes formadas com esses osciladores podem ser usadas para extrair o contorno de figuras.

Full textIn the framework of driving assistance systems, we contributed to stereo vision approaches for edge extraction, matching of stereoscopic pair of images and vehicles detection. Edge extraction is performed based on the concept of declivity line we introduced. Declivity line is constructed by connecting declivities according to their relative position and intensity similarity. Edge extraction is obtained by filtering constructed declivity lines based on their characteristics. Experimental results show that declivity line method extracts additional useful information compared to declivity operator which filtered them out. Edge points of declivity lines are then matched using dynamic programming, and characteristics of declivity line reduce the number of false matching. In our matching method, declivity line contributes to detailed reconstruction of 3D scene. Finally, symmetrical characteristic of vehicles are exploited as a criterion for their detection. To do so, we extend the monocular concept of symmetry map to stereo concept. Consequently, by performing vehicle detection on disparity map, a (axis; width; disparity) symmetry map is constructed instead of an (axis; width) symmetry map. In our stereo concept, obstacles are examined at different depths thus avoiding disturbance of complex scene from which monocular concept suffers

Understanding machine vision can certainly improve our understanding of artificial intelligence as vision happens to be one of the basic intellectual activities of living beings. Since the notion of computation unifies the concept of a machine, computer vision can be understood as an application of modern approaches for achieving artificial intelligence, like machine learning and cognitive psychology. Computer vision mainly involves processing of different types of sensor data resulting in "perception of machines". Perception of machines plays a very important role in several artificial intelligence applications with sensors. There are numerous practical situations where we acquire sensor data for e.g. from mobile robots, security cameras, service and recreational robots. Making sense of this sensor data is very important so that we have increased automation in using the data. Tools from image processing, shape analysis and probabilistic inferences i.e. learning theory form the artillery for current generation of computer vision researchers. In my thesis I will address some of the most annoying components of two important open problems viz. object recognition and autonomous navigation that remain central in robotic, or in other words computational, intelligence. These problems are concerned with inducing computers, the abilities to recognize and navigate similar to those of humans. Object boundaries are very useful descriptors for recognizing objects. Extracting boundaries from real images has been a notoriously open problem for several decades in the vision community. In the first part I will present novel techniques for extracting object boundaries. The techniques are based on practically successful state-of-the-art Bayesian filtering framework, well founded geometric properties relating boundaries and skeletons and robust high-level shape analyses Acquiring global maps of the environments is crucial for robots to localize and be able to navigate autonomously. Though there has been a lot of progress in achieving autonomous mobility, for e.g. as in DARPA grand-challenges of 2005 and 2007, the mapping problem itself remains to be unsolved which is essential for robust autonomy in hard cases like rescue arenas and collaborative exploration. In the second part I will present techniques for merging maps acquired by multiple and single robots. We developed physics-based energy minimization techniques and also shape based techniques for scalable merging of maps. Our shape based techniques are a product of combining of high-level vision techniques that exploit similarities among maps and strong statistical methods that can handle uncertainties in Bayesian sense.

Full textRemote sensing image data are often used as a basis for determining land use parameters, as they are stored and managed in geographic information systems (GIS). Covering a target area leads to an enormous amount of data due to the high pixel resolution required for recognizing and discriminating objects. To effectively derive GIS information like contour vectors or object attributes from these data, the extraction process has to be fast and cost-effective. This thesis is a contribution to the automization of this step with a focus on building extraction. High resolution multispectral ortho-images and a digital surface model (DSM), generated by the digital aerial camera HRSC-A or HRSC-AX, are used as data basis. Therefore, the HRSC imaging principle and data processing are summarized. Based on these HRSC standard data products, an object extraction scheme is developed. In a hierarchically ordered sequence of segmentation steps, meaningful units are extracted from pixel information. This segmentation approach is extendable to several object categories like streets or fields. Thus, tree regions, as well as buildings are detected in the current stage of implementation. Elevated regions are recognized using the digital surface model. For that purpose the DSM is normalized by calculating a terrain model. For elevated objects the terrain height is derived from surrounding ground regions. Subsequently, the elevated regions are separated into trees and buildings. Determining spectral characteristics of vegetation from the multispectral data leads to corresponding tree segments. The building regions result from post-processing the remaining segments. In order to split the building segments into single houses, a gradient based approach is developed. By means of the gradient information associated with firewalls, line hypotheses for subdividing the building segments are generated. Their plausibility is checked by gradually applying geometric and spectral criteria. Finally, the building contours, originally derived from the DSM, and their correspondence to image edges in an ortho-image, are considered. In an adaptive approach, the contour polygon is adjusted to neighboring image edges using the gradient information. Typical building geometries like right angles or parallelism are enforced by applying corresponding constraints in the adaption process. The extraction of elevated objects, as well as the separation into trees and buildings, is carried out with high accuracy, e.g. the building detection rates are over 90%. In the current development stage the novel approach for separating building segments into single houses without an explicit line detection already leads to a speeding-up of a manual interpretation. The adaptive improvement of building contours leads to building typical contours without affecting the high detection rates.

Full textThe performance of several techniques to extract stress intensity factors (SIF) from numerical solutions computed with the generalized finite element method (GFEM) is investigated. The convergence of the stress intensity factors is compared with the convergence of strain energy with the aim of investigate the superconvergence of the methods. The contour integral (CIM), the cutoff function (CFM) and the J-integral methods are considered to compute stress intensity factors and energy release rate. The proposed implementation of the extraction techniques is completely independent of the discretization used. Several numerical examples demonstrating the convergence of the computed stress intensity factors and the energy release rate, with the increasing of p order of the GFEM solution, are presented

Full textThis thesis describes the construction of an undirected network (e. G. Road network) model, based on the recently developed higher-order active contours (HOACs) and phase fields, and introduces a new family of phase field HOACs for directed networks (e. G. Hydrographic networks in remote sensing imagery, vascular networks in medical imagery). In the first part of this thesis, we focus on the stability analysis of a HOAC energy leading to a “phase diagram”. The results which are confirmed by numerical experiments enable the selection of parameter values for the modeling of indirectly networks. Hydrographic networks, unlike road networks, are directed, i. E. They carry a unidirectional flow in each branch. This leads to specific geometric properties of the branches and particularly of the junctions that it is useful to capture in model, for network extraction purposes. We thus develop a nonlocal phase field model of directed networks, which, in addition to a scalar field representing a region by its smoothed characteristic function and interacting no locally so as to favor network configurations, contains a vector field representing the “flow” through the network branches. The vector field is strongly encouraged to be zero outside, and of unit magnitude inside the network ; running along the network branches ; and to have a zero divergence. This prolongs network, controls width variation along a branch ; and produces asymmetric junctions for which total incoming branch width approximately equals total outgoing branch width. The new proposed model is applied to the problem of hydrographic network extraction from very high resolution satellite images, and it outperforms the undirected network model
