Abstract:
The light scattered from a scatterer depends on the geometrical properties such as size, shape, and their distributions as well as electromagnetic properties such as the complex index of reflection. The four major Mueller scattering matrix elements have been experimentally measured for an aluminum rough surface scattering laser light at lambda = 441.6nm for various incident angles. Measurements were also made for non-conducting diffuse surface and an aluminum coated diffuse surface. The sixteen Mueller matrix elements of these diffuse surfaces were measured in order to study the relative role of reflectance and roughness for scattering from a rough surface. Some representative matrix elements for the rough surfaces as well as for conducting and non-conducting rough surfaces are shown. S11 and S34 are sensitive to illumination angles and surface variation. S33 are sensitive to illumination angles only. S34 are very sensitive to the change of refractive index from real to complex.

Abstract:
Les méthodes pour la measurement des surfaces ont progressé d’une façon significative les dernières années. Elles ont été favorisées par les besoins de lithographie avancée. Le but de cette thèse est d’appliquer les techniques récemment développées au problème spécifique de l'étude de la structure de surface des réseaux holographiques. Au début de cette thèse, nous avons fait une recherche bibliographique dans le but de trouver le meilleur dispositif pour notre travail. Le dispositif choisi est un microscope à force atomique (AFM). Ce dernier est un outil permettant une mesure localisée d’une résolution sans précédent. L'AFM fournit une image des structures de surface dans une plage de quelques nanomètres à quelques centaines de micromètres. Cette flexibilité permet de réaliser une analyse quantitative de la microrugosité des surfaces avec de grande sensitivité et précision. Plusieurs exemples de réseaux holographiques enregistrés sur les plaques sont étudiés. Nous avons procédé pour chaque type de plaque à l’analyse du profil du réseau, de sa profondeur, de sa rugosité et la mesuré de le module élastique a été effectue. En outre, le sondage AFM des structures sub-surfaciques a été réalisé pour les échantillons holographiques avec la gélatine comme étant la couche supérieure. Une méthode optique complémentaire nous a servit pour obtenir des informations sur les caractéristiques global des réseaux holographiques : Indice de réfraction, modulation d'indice de réfraction, période du réseau, épaisseur de l'émulsion et absorption et pertes de dispersion ont été mesuré
Driven largely by the needs for advanced lithographic processes surface measurement methods have significantly advanced in the last decade. The aim of this thesis is to apply recently developed measuring techniques to the specific problem of investigating the surface structure of holographic recording gratings. At the start of thesis, search for relevant literature was given high priority, with the purpose to find the best measuring device suitable for this investigation. The device chosen was an atomic force microscope (AFM) which is a tool that enables the spatially localised measurements with unprecedented resolution. AFM provides high-resolution imaging of surface structures from few nanometres to hundreds of micrometres. This capability is useful for quantitative analysis of surface micro-roughness of technological surfaces with high sensitivity and accuracy. Various holographic gratings are studied, along with the sequence by which raw images are analysed for grating profile, profile consistency, grating depth, profile roughness and elastic modulus. In addition, AFM probing of subsurface structures has been achieved for holographic samples with gelatine - like top layers. The AFM characterisation is completed with optical characterisation of holographic gratings: i. E. The refractive index, the refractive index modulation, the groove period, the emulsion thickness and the absorption and the scattering losses are determined by this method

Dans cette these, nous nous sommes interesses a la simulation numerique d'antennes imprimees multicouches, multielements. Plus precisement, nous avons introduit le formalisme des fonctions de green des milieux stratifies, dans un logiciel base sur les equations integrales resolues par une methode d'elements finis de surface. Les fonctions de green sont calculees de maniere originale et rapide. Le nombre d'inconnues et le temps de calcul sont ainsi considerablement diminues, notamment pour l'etude d'antennes arbitraires multicouches-multielements de grande taille.

Abstract:
Abstract Skeleton curves and surfaces have many applications in computer aided design and analysis and the construction of skeletons has been an active area of research. We consider the inverse problem that of recovering boundary surfaces from given skeleton elements. The skeleton of any 3D object will, in general, consist of curves and surfaces. Therefore, any boundary reconstruction algorithm must systematically process the surfaces generated by the skeletal curves and the skeletal surfaces. In a companion paper (Part I) we considered the reconstruction of boundaries corresponding to skeletal curves. In this paper (Part II) we consider the reconstruction of boundaries corresponding to skeletal elements that are surfaces. Implemented examples are also included.

Full text
Abstract:
Recent advances in visual sensing technology have gained much attention in the field of bridge inspection and management. Coupled with advanced robotic systems, state-of-the-art visual sensors can be used to obtain accurate documentation of bridges without the need for any special equipment or traffic closure. The captured visual sensor data can be post-processed to gather meaningful information for the bridge structures and hence to support bridge inspection and management. However, state-of-the-practice data postprocessing approaches require substantial manual operations, which can be time-consuming and expensive. The main objective of this study is to develop methods and algorithms to automate the post-processing of the visual sensor data towards the extraction of three main categories of information: 1) object information such as object identity, shapes, and spatial relationships - a novel heuristic-based method is proposed to automate the detection and recognition of main structural elements of steel girder bridges in both terrestrial and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based laser scanning data. Domain knowledge on the geometric and topological constraints of the structural elements is modeled and utilized as heuristics to guide the search as well as to reject erroneous detection results. 2) structural damage information, such as damage locations and quantities - to support the assessment of damage associated with small deformations, an advanced crack assessment method is proposed to enable automated detection and quantification of concrete cracks in critical structural elements based on UAV-based visual sensor data. In terms of damage associated with large deformations, based on the surface normal-based method proposed in Guldur et al. (2014), a new algorithm is developed to enhance the robustness of damage assessment for structural elements with curved surfaces. 3) three-dimensional volumetric models - the object information extracted from the laser scanning data is exploited to create a complete geometric representation for each structural element. In addition, mesh generation algorithms are developed to automatically convert the geometric representations into conformal all-hexahedron finite element meshes, which can be finally assembled to create a finite element model of the entire bridge. To validate the effectiveness of the developed methods and algorithms, several field data collections have been conducted to collect both the visual sensor data and the physical measurements from experimental specimens and in-service bridges. The data were collected using both terrestrial laser scanners combined with images, and laser scanners and cameras mounted to unmanned aerial vehicles.
