Among the methods with best results are the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT), Local Normalization (LN) and Self-Quotient Image (SQI). Most of these methods have been applied with great success in face r

Abstract:

The conventional epi-uorescent wide-eld microscope features a uniform illumination of an extended sample region. A problem arises with this setup since light from outof-focus uorophores is also detected. The result is poor quality in the nal image, as out-of-focus structures appear blurred; furthermore, their emission light contributes to the background and leads to a reduction in image contrast. Removing out-of-focus light yields an optically sectioned image: a thin slice of a thick sample that only contains in-focus information. Taking a stack of such sectioned images allows for a three-dime

Many techniques have been developed in computer vision to recover three-dimensional shape from two-dimensional images. These techniques impose various combinations of assumptions/restrictions of conditions to produce a representation of shape (e.g. surface normals or a height map).

Abstract:

This thesis proposes the use of a multi-modal sensor approach to achieve illumination invariance in images taken in outdoor environments. The approach is automatic in that it does not require user input for initialisation, and is not reliant on the input of atmospheric radiative transfer models. While it is common to use pixel colour and intensity as features in high level vision algorithms, their performance is severely limited by the uncontrolled lighting and complex geometric structure of outdoor scenes. The appearance of a material is dependent on the incident illumination, which can vary

The slow render times of global illumination algorithms make them impractical in most commercial and academic settings. We propose a novel framework for calculating the computational complexity of global illumination algorithms and show that no other recent improvements have reduced this complexity. We further show that many algorithms use a tree as their rendering paradigm. We propose a new rendering algorithm, pipe casting, which calculates light paths using a graph instead of a tree. Pipe casting significantly reduces both computational complexity and actual render time of rendering. Using

The differences in illumination conditions between the stored images of the client and the probe image can be lessened by the application of photometric normalisation.

Face recognition under illumination is really challenging. This dissertation proposes four effective methods to produce illumination-invariant features for images with various lev- els of illuminations. The proposed methods are called logarithmic fractal dimension (LFD), eight local directional patterns (ELDP), adaptive homomorphic eight local directional pat- terns (AH-ELDP), and complete eight local directional patterns (CELDP), respectively. LFD, employing the log function and the fractal analysis (FA), produces a logarithmic fractal dimension (LFD) image that is illumination-invariant. The

Abstract:

L'apparition de nouvelles structures telles que la crête neurale, les placodes et le mésoderme crânien a été essentielle pour l'émergence de la tête des vertébrées. Fait intéressant, le mésoderme de la tête des vertébrés n'est pas segmenté alors qu'il est supposé que le mésoderme de l'ancêtre de tous les chordés était totalement segmenté. De même le corps du le céphalochordé amphioxus est entièrement segmenté. Des travaux menés par l'équipe ont montré le rôle central du signal FGF dans la formation des somites les plus antérieures chez l'amphioxus. Afin de mieux comprendre le rôle de ce signal

Abstract:

Previous studies suggest human colour constancy is optimised for natural daylight illuminations - a \blue bias" for colour constancy - but it is unclear how such a bias is encoded in the visual system. We use an illumination discrimination task to test two hypothesised mechanisms. Both hypotheses suggest that the human visual system has a prior expectation that illuminations are more likely to vary in a bluer region of chromaticity space. One hypothesis (the nature hypothesis) suggests this has developed in the human visual system through evolution, with selection of colour mechanisms that hav
