Al, Chami Zahi. "Estimation de la qualité des données multimedia en temps réel." Thesis, Pau, 2021. http://www.theses.fr/2021PAUU3066.
Full textOver the past decade, data providers have been generating and streaming a large amount of data, including images, videos, audio, etc. In this thesis, we will be focusing on processing images since they are the most commonly shared between the users on the global inter-network. In particular, treating images containing faces has received great attention due to its numerous applications, such as entertainment and social media apps. However, several challenges could arise during the processing and transmission phase: firstly, the enormous number of images shared and produced at a rapid pace requires a significant amount of time to be processed and delivered; secondly, images are subject to a wide range of distortions during the processing, transmission, or combination of many factors that could damage the images’content. Two main contributions are developed. First, we introduce a Full-Reference Image Quality Assessment Framework in Real-Time, capable of:1) preserving the images’content by ensuring that some useful visual information can still be extracted from the output, and 2) providing a way to process the images in real-time in order to cope with the huge amount of images that are being received at a rapid pace. The framework described here is limited to processing those images that have access to their reference version (a.k.a Full-Reference). Secondly, we present a No-Reference Image Quality Assessment Framework in Real-Time. It has the following abilities: a) assessing the distorted image without having its distortion-free image, b) preserving the most useful visual information in the images before publishing, and c) processing the images in real-time, even though the No-Reference image quality assessment models are considered very complex. Our framework offers several advantages over the existing approaches, in particular: i. it locates the distortion in an image in order to directly assess the distorted parts instead of processing the whole image, ii. it has an acceptable trade-off between quality prediction accuracy and execution latency, andiii. it could be used in several applications, especially these that work in real-time. The architecture of each framework is presented in the chapters while detailing the modules and components of the framework. Then, a number of simulations are made to show the effectiveness of our approaches to solve our challenges in relation to the existing approaches

Full textIn the field of X-ray radiology for medical diagnostics, progress in computer, electronics and materials industry over the past three decades have led to the development of digital sensors to improve the quality of images. This CIFRE thesis, prepared in collaboration between the Gipsa-Lab laboratory and the company Trixell, manufacturer of digital flat detectors for radiological imaging, takes place in an industrial context for improving the image quality of X-ray sensors. More specifically, various technological causes can generate disturbances, called "artifacts". The fine knowledge of these technological causes (internal or external to the sensor) makes it possible to model these artifacts and to eliminate them from images.The chosen approach models the image as a sum of 3 terms Y = C + S + B : the clinical content, the signal or artifact to be modeled and the noise. The problem is to find the artifact from Y and knowledge about the clinical content and noise. To solve this inverse problem, several Bayesian approaches using various prior knowledge are developed. Unlike existing estimation methods that are specific to a particular artifact, our approach is generic and our models take into account spatially variable shapes and features of artifacts that are locally stationary. They also give us a feedback on the quality of the estimate, validating or invalidating the model. The methods are evaluated and compared on synthetic images for 2 types of artifacts. On real images, these methods are illustrated on the removal of anti-scattering grids. The performances of the developed algorithms are superior to those of the methods dedicated to a given artifact, at the cost of greater complexity. The latest results obtained open interesting perspectives, especially for non-stationary artefacts in space and time

Full textColor is a major criterion for many sectors to identify, to compare or simply to control the quality of products. This task is generally assumed by a human operator who performs a visual inspection. Unfortunately, this method is unreliable and not repeatable due to the subjectivity of the operator. To avoid these limitations, a RGB camera can be used to capture and extract the photometric properties. This method is simple to deploy and permits a high speed control. However, it's very sensitive to the metamerism effects. Therefore, the reflectance measurement is the more reliable solution to ensure the conformity between samples and a reference. Thus in printing industry, spectrophotometers are used to measure uniform color patches printed on a lateral band. For a control of the entire printed surface, multispectral cameras are used to estimate the reflectance of each pixel. However, they are very expensive compared to conventional cameras. In this thesis, we study the use of an RGB camera for the spectral reflectance estimation in the context of printing. We propose a complete spectral description of the reproduction chain to reduce the number of measurements in the training stages and to compensate for the acquisition limitations. Our first main contribution concerns the consideration of the colorimetric limitations in the spectral characterization of a camera. The second main contribution is the exploitation of the spectral printer model in the reflectance estimation methods

Full textTraditional photo-realistic rendering requires intensive manual and computational effort to create scenes and render realistic images. Thus, creation of content for high quality digital imagery has been limited to experts and highly realistic rendering still requires significant computational time. Image-Based Rendering (IBR) is an alternative which has the potential of making high-quality content creation and rendering applications accessible to casual users, since they can generate high quality photo-realistic imagery without the limitations mentioned above. We identified three important shortcomings of current IBR methods: First, each algorithm has different strengths and weaknesses, depending on 3D reconstruction quality and scene content and often no single algorithm offers the best image quality everywhere in the image. Second, such algorithms present strong artifacts when rendering partially reconstructed objects or missing objects. Third, most methods still result in significant visual artifacts in image regions where reconstruction is poor. Overall, this thesis addresses significant shortcomings of IBR for both speed and image quality, offering novel and effective solutions based on selective rendering, learning-based model substitution and depth error prediction and correction

Full textRecent developments in 3D stereoscopic technology have opened new horizons in many application fields such as 3DTV, 3D cinema, video games and videoconferencing and at the same time raised a number of challenges related to the processing and coding of 3D data. Today, stereoscopic imaging technology is becoming widely used in many fields. There are still some problems related to the physical limitations of image acquisition systems, e.g. transmission and storage requirements. The objective of this thesis is the development of methods for improving the main steps of stereoscopic imaging pipeline such as enhancement, coding and quality assessment. The first part of this work addresses quality issues including contrast enhancement and quality assessment of stereoscopic images. Three algorithms have been proposed. The first algorithm deals with the contrast enhancement aiming at promoting the local contrast guided by calculated/estimated object importance map in the visual scene. The second and the third algorithms aim at predicting the distortion severity of stereo images. In the second one, we have proposed a fullreference metric that requires the reference image and is based on some 2D and 3D findings such as amplitude non-linearity, contrast sensitivity, frequency and directional selectivity, and binocular just noticeable difference model. While in the third algorithm, we have proposed a no-reference metric which needs only the stereo pair to predict its quality. The latter is based on Natural Scene statistics to identify the distortion affecting the stereo image. The statistic 3D features consist in combining features extracted from the natural stereo pair and those from the estimate disparity map. To this end, a joint wavelet transform, inspired from the vector lifting concept is first employed. Then, the features are extracted from the obtained subbands. The second part of this dissertation addresses stereoscopic image compression issues. We started by investigating a one-dimensional directional discrete cosine transform to encode the disparity compensated residual image. Afterwards, and based on the wavelet transform, we investigated two techniques for optimizing the computation of the residual image. Finally, we present efficient bit allocation methods for stereo image coding purpose. Generally, the bit allocation problem is solved in an empirical manner by looking for the optimal rates leading to the minimum distortion value. Thanks to recently published work on approximations of the entropy and distortion functions, we proposed accurate and fast bit allocation schemes appropriate for the open-loop and closed-loop based stereo coding structures

Esta dissertação tem por objetivo investigar métodos de estimação da idade a partir de imagens faciais. Avalia-se o impacto de distintos fatores sobre a acurácia da estimativa, especificamente, a acurácia da localização de pontos fiduciais, métodos de extração de atributos, de redução de dimensionalidade, e técnicas de regressão. Adicionalmente, foi estudada a influência da raça e do sexo na acurácia da estimação da idade desenvolvido. Consideraram-se cinco métricas de desempenho do sistema, especificamente, o erro médio absoluto (MAE), o erro médio absoluto por década (MAE/D), o erro médio absoluto por idade (MAE/A), o escore acumulado (CS), e os intervalos de confiança (IC). Os experimentos foram realizados empregando dois bancos de dados públicos, cujas imagens estão rotuladas com a idade da face. Os resultados indicaram que o método automático para detecção de pontos fiduciais da face tem uma repercussão moderada sobre a acurácia das estimativas. Entre as variantes analisadas, a que apresentou a melhor acurácia foi o sistema que emprega os AAMs (Active Appearance Models) como método de extração de atributos, o PCA (Principal Components Analysis) como método para reduzir dimensionalidade, e as SVRs (Support Vector Regression) como técnica para fazer regressão.
This thesis aims to investigate methods for age estimation from facial images. The impact of distinct factors over the estimate’s accuracy is assessed, specifically the accuracy in the location of face fiducial points, feature extraction and dimensionality reduction methods, and regression techniques. Additionally, the dependence on race and gender in the accuracy of age estimation is assessed. Five performance metrics have been considered: the mean absolute error (MAE), the mean absolute error per decade (MAE / D), the mean absolute error for age (MAE / A), the cumulative score (CS) and confidence intervals (CI). The experiments were performed using two public databases, whose images are labeled with the age of the face. The results showed the impact of the automatic method for detection of fiducial points of the face has a moderate impact on the accuracy of the estimates. Among the analyzed variants, the one with the best accuracy was the system that employs the Active Appearance Models (AAMs) as feature extraction method, the Principal Components Analysis (PCA) as dimensionality reduction method, and Support Vector Regression (SVRs) as a technique to do regression.

Full textThe aim of this thesis is to propose new methods for image enhancement based on oriented and multi-scale transforms using some perceptual criteria. The first part of the thesis is devoted to the development of a simple and efficient contrast enhancement method inspired from the human visual system. This method is evaluated on a set of natural color and monochrome images. The obtained results are evaluated subjectively and by using objective measures based on energy spectrum analysis and perceptual criteria. The enhancement technique is also extended to some medical images, such as mammography and endoscopy images. A special contrast enhancement method adapted to mammography is then proposed. It is based on a segmentation process using a priori information on the mammography images. The last part of the thesis is devoted to image enhancement evaluation. A critical literature survey of image enhancement evaluation methods is provided. The evaluation method proposed in this thesis is based on the radial and angular analysis of the Fourier powerspectrum. Another perceptual approach is proposed to evaluate the output. This method is based on the analysis of the visibility map computed by using a pyramidal contrast. The evaluation is performed on some samples taken from two databases. Both subjective and objective evaluations demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed image enhancement methods

Full textThis thesis addresses the problem of reliably recovering a 3D motion field, or scene flow, from a temporal pair of RGBD images. We propose a semi-rigid estimation framework for the robust computation of scene flow, taking advantage of color and depth information, and an alternating variational minimization framework for recovering rigid and non-rigid components of the 3D motion field. Previous attempts to estimate scene flow from RGBD images have extended optical flow approaches without fully exploiting depth data or have formulated the estimation in 3D space disregarding the semi-rigidity of real scenes. We demonstrate that scene flow can be robustly and accurately computed in the image domain by solving for 3D motions consistent with color and depth, encouraging an adjustable combination between local and piecewise rigidity. Additionally, we show that solving for the 3D motion field can be seen as a specific case of a more general estimation problem of a 6D field of rigid motions. Accordingly, we formulate scene flow estimation as the search of an optimal field of twist motions achieving state-of-the-art results.STAR

Full textObjective metrics for image quality assessment are very useful in order to optimise performance of image processing systems for acquiring, viewing, archiving or transmitting visual data. An objective metric should provide quality measures in strong correspondence with human judgement. So, it is necessary to incorporate models of most of human visual system properties in the design of such metric. The main global of this thesis is to establish and apply these models in order to assess colour image quality. This assessment is done with the full reference image but without any a priori knowledge on the distortion nature introduced in the distorted image

Full textDepth prediction is the task of computing the distance of different points in the scene from the camera. Knowing how far away a given object is from the camera would make it possible to understand its spatial representation. Early methods have used stereo pairs of images to extract depth. To have a stereo pair of images, we need a calibrated pair of cameras. However, it is simpler to have a single image as no calibration or synchronization is needed. For this reason, learning-based methods, which estimate depth from monocular images, have been introduced. Early solutions of learning-based problems have used ground truth depth for training, usually acquired from sensors such as Kinect or Lidar. Acquiring depth ground truth is expensive and difficult which is why self-supervised methods, which do not acquire such ground truth for fine-tuning, has appeared and have shown promising results for single image depth estimation. In this work, we propose to estimate depth maps for images taken from the train driver viewpoint. To do so, we propose to use geometry constraints and rails standard parameters to extract the depth map inside the rails, to provide it as a supervisory signal to the network. To this end, we first gathered a train sequences dataset and determined their focal lengths to compute the depth map inside the rails. Then we used this dataset and the computed focal lengths to finetune an existing model “Monodepth2” trained previously on the Kitti dataset. We show that the ground truth depth map provided to the network solves the problem of depth of the rail tracks which otherwise appear as standing objects in front of the camera. It also improves the results of depth estimation of train sequences.

Full textThe research area in the objective quality assessment of the color images has been a renewed interest in recent years. The work is primarily driven by the advent of digital pictures and additional needs in image coding (compression, transmission, recovery, indexing,...). So far the best evaluation is visual (hence subjective) or by psychophysical techniques or by expert evaluation. Therefore, it is useful, even necessary, to establish criteria and objectives that automatically measures quality scores closest possible quality scores given by the subjective evaluation. We propose, firstly, a new full reference metric to assess the quality of color images, called overall Delta E, based on color appearance and incorporates the features of the human visual system (HVS). Performance was measured in two areas of application compression and restoration. The experiments carried out show a significant correlation between the results and subjective assessment.Then, we propose a new no reference quality assessmenent color images approach based on neural networks: given the multidimensional nature of image quality, a quantification of quality has been proposed, based on a set of attributes forming the descriptor UN (Utility, Naturalness). Accuracy reflects the sharpness and clarity. As for naturality, it reflects the brightness and color. To model the criterion of color, three no reference metrics were defined to detect the dominant color in the image, the proportion of that color and its spatial dispersion. This approach is based on neural networks to mimic the HVS perception. Two variants of this approach have been tried (direct and progressive). The results showed the performance of the progressive variant compared to the direct variant. The application of the proposed approach in two areas: in the context of restoration, this approach has served as a stopping criterion for automatic restoration algorithms. In addition, we have used in a system for estimating the quality of images to automatically detect the type of content in an image degradation. In the context of indexing and image retrieval, the proposed approach was used to introduce the quality of images in the database as an index. The experimental results showed the improvement of system performance image search by content by using the index or by making a quality refinement results with the quality criterion

Full textHuman pose estimation is a challenging problem in computer vision and shares all the difficulties of object detection. This thesis focuses on the problems of human pose estimation in still images or video, including the diversity of appearances, changes in scene illumination and confounding background clutter. To tackle these problems, we build a robust model consisting of the following components. First, the top-down and bottom-up methods are combined to estimation human pose. We extend the Pictorial Structure (PS) model to cooperate with annealed particle filter (APF) for robust multi-view pose estimation. Second, we propose an upper body based multiple mixture parts (MMP) model for human pose estimation that contains two stages. In the pre-estimation stage, there are three steps: upper body detection, model category estimation for upper body, and full model selection for pose estimation. In the estimation stage, we address the problem of a variety of human poses and activities. Finally, a Deep Convolutional Neural Network (DCNN) is introduced for human pose estimation. A Local Multi-Resolution Convolutional Neural Network (LMR-CNN) is proposed to learn the representation for each body part. Moreover, a LMR-CNN based hierarchical model is defined to meet the structural complexity of limb parts. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model

Full textThe task of understanding, 3D reconstruction and analysis of the multiple view geometry related to transparent objects is one of the long standing challenging problems in computer vision. In this thesis, we look at novel approaches to analyze images of transparent surfaces to deduce their geometric and photometric properties. At first, we analyze the multiview geometry of the simple case of planar refraction. We show how the image of a 3D line is a quartic curve in an image, and thus derive the first imaging model that accounts for planar refraction. We use this approach to then derive other properties that involve multiple cameras, like fundamental and homography matrices. Finally, we propose approaches to estimate the refractive surface parameters and camera poses, given images. We then extend our approach to derive algorithms for recovering the geometry of multiple planar refractive surfaces from a single image. We propose a simple technique to compute the normal of such surfaces given in various scenarios, by equating our setup to an axial camera. We then show that the same model could be used to reconstruct reflective surfaces using a piecewise planar assumption. We show encouraging 3D reconstruction results, and analyse the accuracy of results obtained using this approach. We then focus our attention on using both geometric and photometric cues for reconstructing transparent 3D surfaces. We show that in the presence of known illumination, we can recover the shape of such objects from single or multiple views. The cornerstone of our approach are the Fresnel equations, and we both derive and analyze their use for 3D reconstruction. Finally, we show our approach could be used to produce high quality reconstructions, and discuss other potential future applications

Ensembles of photochemical simulations at continental and regional scales are automatically built. Then, these generated ensemble are calibrated with a combinatorial optimization method. It selects a sub-ensemble which is representative of uncertainty or has good resolution and reliability of probabilistic forecasts. Thus, this work show that it is possible to estimate and forecast uncertainty fields related to ozone and nitrogen dioxide concentrations or to improve reliability related to the threshold exceedance prediction. This approach is compared with Monte Carlo ensemble calibration. This ensemble is less representative of uncertainty. Finally, we can estimate the part of the measure error, representativity error and modeling error in air quality

Full textThe general topic of this thesis is to reconstruct the background scene from a burst of images in presence of masks. We focus on the background detection methods as well as on solutions to geometric and chromatic distortions introduced during ph-otography. A series of process is proposed, which consists of geometric alignment, chromatic adjustment, image fusion and defect correction.We consider the case where the background scene is a flat surface. The geometric alignment between a reference image and any other images in the sequence, depends on the computation of a homography followed by a bilinear interpolation.The chromatic adjustment aims to attach a similar contrast to the scene in different images. We propose to model the chromatic mapping between images with linear approximations whose parameters are decided by matched pixels of SIFT .These two steps are followed by a discussion on image fusion. Several methods have been compared.The first proposition is a generation of typical median filter to the vector range. It is robust when more than half of the images convey the background information. Besides, we design an original algorithm based on the notion of clique. It serves to distinguish the biggest cloud of pixels in RGB space. This approach is highly reliable even when the background pixels are the minority.During the implementation, we notice that some fusion results bear blur-like defects due to the existence of geometric alignment errors. We provide therefore a combination method as a complementary step to ameli-orate the fusion results. It is based on a com-parison between the fusion image and other aligned images after applying a Gaussian filter. The output is a mosaic of patches with clear details issued from the aligned images which are the most similar to their related fusion patches.The performance of our methods is evaluated by a data set containing extensive images of different qualities. Experiments confirm the reliability and robustness of our design under a variety of photography conditions
