Le Maire and Y. Nouvellon and P. Couteron. In Asian Conference on Pattern Recognition (ACPR), Beijing, China, November 2011. Keywords : tree detection, Eucalyptus plantation, Marked point process, multi-date detection. @INPROCEEDINGS{Zhou11, author = {Zhou, J. and Proisy, C. and Descombes, X. and Zerubia, J. and Le Maire, G. and Nouvellon, Y. and Couteron, P.}, title = {Tree crown detection in high resolution optical images during the early growth stages of eucalyptus plantations in Brazil}, year = {2011}, month = {November}, booktitle = {Asian Conference on Pattern Recognition (ACPR)}, address = {Beijing, China}, url = {http://hal.inria.fr/hal-00740973}, keyword = {tree detection, Eucalyptus plantation, Marked point process, multi-date detection} } Abstract : Individual tree detection methods are more and more present, and improve, in forestry and silviculture domains with the increasing availability of satellite metric imagery. Automatic detection on these very high spatial resolution images aims to determine the tree positions and crown sizes. In this paper, we used a mathematical model based on marked point processes, which showed advantages w.r.t. several individual tree detection algorithms for plantations, to analyze the eucalyptus plantations in Brazil, with 2 optical images acquired by the WorldView-2 satellite. A tentative detection simultaneously with 2 images of different dates (multi-date) was tested for the first time, which estimates individual tree crown variation during these dates. The relevance of detection was discussed considering the detection performance in tree localizations and crown sizes. Then, tree crown growth was deduced from detection results and compared with the expected dynamics of corresponding populations.

4 - Estimation of an optimal spectral band combination to evaluate skin disease treatment efficacy using multi-spectral images. S. Prigent and D. Zugaj and X. Descombes and P. Martel and J. Zerubia. In Proc. IEEE International Conference on Image Processing (ICIP), Brussels, Belgium, September 2011. @INPROCEEDINGS{prigent11a, author = {Prigent, S. and Zugaj, D. and Descombes, X. and Martel, P. and Zerubia, J.}, title = {Estimation of an optimal spectral band combination to evaluate skin disease treatment efficacy using multi-spectral images}, year = {2011}, month = {September}, booktitle = {Proc. IEEE International Conference on Image Processing (ICIP)}, address = {Brussels, Belgium}, pdf = {http://hal.inria.fr/docs/00/59/06/94/PDF/icip_final.pdf}, keyword = {} } Abstract : Clinical evaluation of skin treatments consists of two steps. First, the degree of the disease is measured clinically on a group of patients by dermatologists. Then, a statistical test is used on obtained set of measures to determine the treatment efficacy. In this paper, a method is proposed to automatically measure the severity of skin hyperpigmentation. After a classification step, an objective function is designed in order to obtain an optimal linear combination of bands defining the severity criterion. Then a hypothesis test is deployed on this combination to quantify treatment efficacy.

5 - Two constrained formulations for deblurring Poisson noisy images. M. Carlavan and L. Blanc-Féraud. In Proc. IEEE International Conference on Image Processing (ICIP), Brussels, Belgium, September 2011. Keywords : Poisson deconvolution, discrepancy principle, constrained convex optimization. @INPROCEEDINGS{ICIP2011_Carlavan, author = {Carlavan, M. and Blanc-Féraud, L.}, title = {Two constrained formulations for deblurring Poisson noisy images}, year = {2011}, month = {September}, booktitle = {Proc. IEEE International Conference on Image Processing (ICIP)}, address = {Brussels, Belgium}, url = {http://hal.inria.fr/inria-00591035/fr/}, keyword = {Poisson deconvolution, discrepancy principle, constrained convex optimization} } Abstract : Deblurring noisy Poisson images has recently been subject of an increasingly amount of works in many areas such as astronomy or biological imaging. Several methods have promoted explicit prior on the solution to regularize the ill-posed inverse problem and to improve the quality of the image. In each of these methods, a regularizing parameter is introduced to control the weight of the prior. Unfortunately, this regularizing parameter has to be manually set such that it gives the best qualitative results. To tackle this issue, we present in this paper two constrained formulations for the Poisson deconvolution problem, derived from recent advances in regularizing parameter estimation for Poisson noise. We first show how to improve the accuracy of these estimators and how to link these estimators to constrained formulations. We then propose an algorithm to solve the resulting optimization problems and detail how to perform the projections on the constraints. Results on real and synthetic data are presented.

6 - A fast multiple birth and cut algorithm using belief propagation. A. Gamal Eldin and X. Descombes and Charpiat G. and J. Zerubia. In Proc. IEEE International Conference on Image Processing (ICIP), Brussels, Belgium, September 2011. Keywords : Multiple Birth and Cut, multiple object extraction, Graph Cut, Belief Propagation. @INPROCEEDINGS{MBC_ICIP11, author = {Gamal Eldin, A. and Descombes, X. and G., Charpiat and Zerubia, J.}, title = {A fast multiple birth and cut algorithm using belief propagation}, year = {2011}, month = {September}, booktitle = {Proc. IEEE International Conference on Image Processing (ICIP)}, address = {Brussels, Belgium}, url = {http://hal.inria.fr/inria-00592446/fr/}, keyword = {Multiple Birth and Cut, multiple object extraction, Graph Cut, Belief Propagation} } Abstract : In this paper, we present a faster version of the newly proposed Multiple Birth and Cut (MBC) algorithm. MBC is an optimization method applied to the energy minimization of an object based model, defined by a marked point process. We show that, by proposing good candidates in the birth step of this algorithm, the speed of convergence is increased. The algorithm starts by generating a dense configuration in a special organization, the best candidates are selected using the belief propagation algorithm. Next, this candidate configuration is combined with the current configuration using binary graph cuts as presented in the original version of the MBC algorithm. We tested the performance of our algorithm on the particular problem of counting flamingos in a colony, and show that it is much faster with the modified birth step.

7 - Formulation contrainte pour la déconvolution de bruit de Poisson. M. Carlavan and L. Blanc-Féraud. In Proc. GRETSI Symposium on Signal and Image Processing, Bordeaux, France, September 2011. Keywords : 3D confocal microscopy, constrained convex optimization, discrepancy principle, Poisson noise. @INPROCEEDINGS{CarlavanGRETSI11, author = {Carlavan, M. and Blanc-Féraud, L.}, title = {Formulation contrainte pour la déconvolution de bruit de Poisson}, year = {2011}, month = {September}, booktitle = {Proc. GRETSI Symposium on Signal and Image Processing}, address = {Bordeaux, France}, url = {http://hal.inria.fr/inria-00602015/fr/}, keyword = {3D confocal microscopy, constrained convex optimization, discrepancy principle, Poisson noise} } Résumé : Nous considérons le problème de la restauration d’image floue et bruitée par du bruit de Poisson. De nombreux travaux ont proposé de traiter ce problème comme la minimisation d’une énergie convexe composée d’un terme d’attache aux données et d’un terme de régularisation choisi selon l’a priori dont on dispose sur l’image à restaurer. Un des problèmes récurrents dans ce type d’approche est le choix du paramètre de régularisation qui contrôle le compromis entre l’attache aux données et la régularisation. Une approche est de choisir ce paramètre de régularisation en procédant à plusieurs minimisations pour plusieurs valeurs du paramètre et en ne gardant que celle qui donne une image restaurée vérifiant un certain critère (qu’il soit qualitatif ou quantitatif). Cette technique est évidemment très couteuse lorsque les données traitées sont de grande dimension, comme c’est le cas en microscopie 3D par exemple. Nous proposons ici de formuler le problème de restauration d’image floue et bruitée par du bruit de Poisson comme un problème contraint sur l’antilog de la vraisemblance poissonienne et proposons une estimation de la borne à partir des travaux de Bertero et al. sur le principe de discrepancy pour l’estimation du paramètre de régularisation en présence de bruit de Poisson. Nous montrons des résultats sur des images synthétiques et réelles et comparons avec l'écriture non-contrainte utilisant une approximation gaussienne du bruit de Poisson pour l’estimation du paramètre de régularisation. Abstract : We focus here on the restoration of blurred and Poisson noisy images. Several methods solve this problem by minimizing a convex cost function composed of a data term and a regularizing term chosen from the prior that one have on the image. One of the recurrent problems of this approach is how to choose the regularizing paramater which controls the weight of the regularization term in front of the data term. One method consists in solving the minimization problem for several values of this parameter and by keeping the value which gives an image verifying a quality criterion (either qualitative or quantitative). This technique is obviously time consuming when one deal with high dimensional data such as in 3D microscopy imaging. We propose to formulate the blurred and Poisson noisy images restoration problem as a constrained problem on the antilog of the Poisson likelihood and propose an estimation of the bound from the works of Bertero et al. on the discrepancy principle for the estimation of the regularizing parameter for Poisson noise. We show results on synthetic and real data and we compare these results to the one obtained with the unconstrained formulation using the Gaussian approximation of the Poisson noise for the estimation of the regularizing parameter.

8 - SAR image classification with non- stationary multinomial logistic mixture of amplitude and texture densities. K. Kayabol and A. Voisin and J. Zerubia. In Proc. IEEE International Conference on Image Processing (ICIP), pages 173-176, Brussels, Belgium, September 2011. Keywords : High resolution SAR images, Classification, Texture, Multinomial logistic, Classification EM algorithm. @INPROCEEDINGS{inria-00592252, author = {Kayabol, K. and Voisin, A. and Zerubia, J.}, title = {SAR image classification with non- stationary multinomial logistic mixture of amplitude and texture densities}, year = {2011}, month = {September}, booktitle = {Proc. IEEE International Conference on Image Processing (ICIP)}, pages = {173-176}, address = {Brussels, Belgium}, url = {http://hal.inria.fr/inria-00592252/en/}, keyword = {High resolution SAR images, Classification, Texture, Multinomial logistic, Classification EM algorithm} } Abstract : We combine both amplitude and texture statistics of the Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images using Products of Experts (PoE) approach for classification purpose. We use Nakagami density to model the class amplitudes. To model the textures of the classes, we exploit a non-Gaussian Markov Random Field (MRF) texture model with t-distributed regression error. Non-stationary Multinomial Logistic (MnL) latent class label model is used as a mixture density to obtain spatially smooth class segments. We perform the classification Expectation-Maximization (CEM) algorithm to estimate the class parameters and classify the pixels. We obtained some classification results of water, land and urban areas in both supervised and semi-supervised cases on TerraSAR-X data.

9 - Classification bayésienne supervisée d’images RSO de zones urbaines à très haute résolution. A. Voisin and V. Krylov and J. Zerubia. In Proc. GRETSI Symposium on Signal and Image Processing, Bordeaux, September 2011. Keywords : SAR Images, Classification, Urban areas, Markov Fields, Hierarchical models. @INPROCEEDINGS{VoisinGretsi2011, author = {Voisin, A. and Krylov, V. and Zerubia, J.}, title = {Classification bayésienne supervisée d’images RSO de zones urbaines à très haute résolution}, year = {2011}, month = {September}, booktitle = {Proc. GRETSI Symposium on Signal and Image Processing}, address = {Bordeaux}, url = {http://hal.inria.fr/inria-00623003/fr/}, keyword = {SAR Images, Classification, Urban areas, Markov Fields, Hierarchical models} } Résumé : Ce papier présente un modèle de classification bayésienne supervisée d’images acquises par Radar à Synthèse d’Ouverture (RSO) très haute résolution en polarisation simple contenant des zones urbaines, particulièrement affectées par le bruit de chatoiement. Ce modèle prend en compte à la fois une représentation statistique des images RSO par modèle de mélanges finis et de copules, et une modélisation contextuelle à partir de champs de Markov hiérarchiques. Abstract : This paper deals with the Bayesian classification of single-polarized very high resolution synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images that depict urban areas. The difficulty of such a classification relies in the significant effects of speckle noise. The model considered here takes into account both statistical modeling of images via finite mixture models and copulas, and contextual modeling thanks to hierarchical Markov random fields

10 - Restauration d'image dégradée par un flou spatialement variant. S. Ben Hadj and L. Blanc-Féraud. In Proc. GRETSI Symposium on Signal and Image Processing, Bordeaux, France, September 2011. @INPROCEEDINGS{SaimaGretsi11, author = {Ben Hadj, S. and Blanc-Féraud, L.}, title = {Restauration d'image dégradée par un flou spatialement variant}, year = {2011}, month = {September}, booktitle = {Proc. GRETSI Symposium on Signal and Image Processing}, address = {Bordeaux, France}, url = {http://hal.inria.fr/inria-00625519/fr/}, keyword = {} } Résumé : La plupart des techniques de restauration d’images disponibles supposent que le flou est spatialement invariant. Néanmoins, différents phénomènes physiques liés aux propriétés de l’optique font que les dégradations peuvent être différentes selon les régions de l’image. Dans ce travail, nous considérons un modèle de PSF invariant par zone avec des transitions régulières entre les zones afin de prendre en compte la variation du flou dans l’image. Nous développons pour ce modèle, une méthode de déconvolution adaptée, par minimisation d’un critère avec une régularisation par variation totale. Nous nous appuyions sur une méthode rapide de minimisation par décomposition de domaine qui a été récemment développée par Fornasier et al., 2009. Nous obtenons ainsi un algorithme où la minimisation du critère est effectuée en parallèle sur les différentes zones de l’image, tout en prenant en compte les estimées dans les zones voisines des sous-images considérées, de sorte que la solution finale soit le minimum du critère où le flou est variant spatialement. Abstract : In most of the existing image restoration techniques, the blur is assumed to be spatially invariant. However, different physical phenomena related to the optic’s properties makes that degradations may change according to the image’s areas. In this work, we consider a piecewise-varying PSF model with smooth transitions between areas in order to take into account blur variation in the image. We develop for this model, a convenient deconvolution method by minimizing a criterion with a total variation regularization. We rely on a fast minimization method using a domain decomposition method that was recently developed by Fornasier et al. 2009. We thus obtain an algorithm where the criterion minimization is performed in a parallel way on different areas of the image, taking into account the estimates of neighboring areas of the considered sub-image, so that the final solution is space-varying deconvolved.

11 - Extraction et caractérisation de régions saines et pathologiques à partir de micro-tomographie RX du système vasculaire cérébral. X. Descombes and A. Gamal Eldin and F. Plouraboue and C. Fonta and S. Serduc and G. Le Duc and T. Weitkamp. In Proc. GRETSI Symposium on Signal and Image Processing, Bordeaux, France, September 2011. @INPROCEEDINGS{XavierGRETSI11, author = {Descombes, X. and Gamal Eldin, A. and Plouraboue, F. and Fonta, C. and Serduc, S. and Le Duc, G. and Weitkamp, T.}, title = {Extraction et caractérisation de régions saines et pathologiques à partir de micro-tomographie RX du système vasculaire cérébral}, year = {2011}, month = {September}, booktitle = {Proc. GRETSI Symposium on Signal and Image Processing}, address = {Bordeaux, France}, url = {http://hal.inria.fr/inria-00625525/fr/}, keyword = {} } Abstract : In this paper, we consider X-ray micro-tomography representing the brain vascular network. We define the local vascular territories as the regions obtained after a watershed algorithm applied on the distance map. The obtained graph is then regularized by a Markov random field approach. The optimization is performed using a graph cut algorithm. We show that the resulting segmentation exhibits three classes corresponding to normal tissue, tumour and an intermediate region.

12 - Reconstruction 3D du bâti à partir d'une seule image par naissances et morts multiples. J.D. Durou and X. Descombes and P. Lukashevish and A. Kraushonak. In Proc. GRETSI Symposium on Signal and Image Processing, Bordeaux, France, September 2011. @INPROCEEDINGS{DurouGretsi11, author = {Durou, J.D. and Descombes, X. and Lukashevish, P. and Kraushonak, A.}, title = {Reconstruction 3D du bâti à partir d'une seule image par naissances et morts multiples}, year = {2011}, month = {September}, booktitle = {Proc. GRETSI Symposium on Signal and Image Processing}, address = {Bordeaux, France}, url = {http://hal.inria.fr/inria-00625527/fr/}, keyword = {} } Résumé : Dans cet article, nous nous écartons de l’approche classique qui considère la reconstruction 3D comme un problème inverse et la résout en mettant en correspondance deux images d’une paire stéréoscopique. Au contraire, nous montrons qu’il est plus simple de résoudre le problème direct. Pour ce faire, nous proposons aléatoirement des configurations de bâtiments pour ne conserver que les plus pertinentes par un algorithme de type naissances et morts multiples. Nous montrons notamment que cette approche ne nécessite pas un temps de calcul prohibitif, grâce à la puissance de calcul d’OpenGL qui s’appuie sur la carte graphique. Les premiers résultats obtenus montrent la pertinence de l’approche adoptée. En particulier, elle permet de résoudre des ambiguïtés pour lesquelles l’inversion du problème serait quasiment impossible. Abstract : In this paper, contrary to the classical approach addressing the 3D reconstruction problem as an inverse problem and solving it by matching two images from a stereoscopic pair, we show that we can solve the direct problem in a simpler way. To do so, we randomly propose configurations of buildings while keeping only the most relevant ones, using a multiple births and deaths algorithm. Notably, we show that this approach does not imply a prohibitory computation time, thanks to the freeware OpenGL which exploits the graphic card. The first results show that the proposed approach is relevant. In particular, it allows solving ambiguities for which inverting the problem is almost impossible.
