1 - Tree crown detection in high resolution optical images during the early growth stages of eucalyptus plantations in Brazil. J. Zhou and C. Proisy and X. Descombes and J. Zerubia and G. 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.

2 - 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.

3 - 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.

4 - 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}, 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.

5 - 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.

6 - A novel algorithm for occlusions and perspective effects using a 3d object process. A. Gamal Eldin and X. Descombes and J. Zerubia. In ICASSP 2011 (International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing), Prague, Czech Republic, May 2011. Keywords : Occlusions, 3D object process, multiple object extraction, Multiple Birth and Death, Penguins Counting. @INPROCEEDINGS{ICASSP_2011, author = {Gamal Eldin, A. and Descombes, X. and Zerubia, J.}, title = {A novel algorithm for occlusions and perspective effects using a 3d object process}, year = {2011}, month = {May}, booktitle = {ICASSP 2011 (International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing)}, address = {Prague, Czech Republic}, url = {http://hal.inria.fr/inria-00592449/fr/}, keyword = {Occlusions, 3D object process, multiple object extraction, Multiple Birth and Death, Penguins Counting} } Abstract : In this paper, we introduce a novel probabilistic approach to handle occlusions and perspective effects. The proposed method is an object based method embedded in a marked point process framework. We apply it for the size estimation of a penguin colony, where we model a penguin colony as an unknown number of 3D objects. The main idea of the proposed approach is to sample some candidate configurations consisting of 3D objects lying in the real plane. A Gibbs energy is define on the configuration space, which takes into account both prior and data information. These configurations are projected onto the image plane. The configurations are modified until convergence using the multiple birth and death optimization algorithm and by measuring the similarity between the projected image of the configuration and the real image. During optimization, the proposed configuration is modeled by a mixed graph which represents all dependencies between the objects, including interaction between neighbor objects and parent-child dependency for occluded objects. We tested our model on synthetic image, and real images.

7 - Brain tumor vascular network segmentation from micro-tomography. X. Descombes and F. Plouraboue and El Boustani Habdelhkim and Fonta Caroline and |LeDuc Geraldine and Serduc Raphael and Weitkamp Timm. In Internation Symposium of Biomedical Imaging (ISBI), Chicago, USA, April 2011. Keywords : Segmentation, Markov random field, Tomography, Brain, vascular network. Copyright : IEEE @INPROCEEDINGS{isbi11, author = {Descombes, X. and Plouraboue, F. and Boustani Habdelhkim, El and Caroline, Fonta and Geraldine, |LeDuc and Raphael, Serduc and Timm, Weitkamp}, title = {Brain tumor vascular network segmentation from micro-tomography}, year = {2011}, month = {April}, booktitle = {Internation Symposium of Biomedical Imaging (ISBI)}, address = {Chicago, USA}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/ISBI.2011.5872596}, keyword = {Segmentation, Markov random field, Tomography, Brain, vascular network} } Abstract : Micro-tomography produces high resolution images of biological structures such as vascular networks. In this paper, we present a new approach for segmenting vascular network into pathological and normal regions from considering their micro-vessel 3D structure only. We define and use a conditional random field for segmenting the output of a watershed algorithm. The tumoral and normal classes are thus characterized by their respective distribution of watershed region size interpreted as local vascular territories.

8 - Multiple Birth and Cut Algorithm for Point Process Optimization. A. Gamal Eldin and X. Descombes and J. Zerubia. In Proc. IEEE International Conference on Signal-Image Technology and Internet-based Systems (SITIS), Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, December 2010. Keywords : Multiple Birth and Cut, Graph Cut, Multiple Birth and Death, Marked point process. @INPROCEEDINGS{MBC_MPP_SITIS10, author = {Gamal Eldin, A. and Descombes, X. and Zerubia, J.}, title = {Multiple Birth and Cut Algorithm for Point Process Optimization}, year = {2010}, month = {December}, booktitle = {Proc.

It combines the recently developed Multiple Birth and Death (MBD) algorithm and the Graph-Cut algorithm. MBD and MBC optimization methods are applied to the energy minimization of an object based model, the marked point process. We compare the MBC to the MBD showing the advantages and disadvantages, where the most important advantage is the reduction of the number of parameters. We validated our algorithm on the counting problem of flamingos in colony, where our algorithm outperforms the performance of the MBD algorithm.

IEEE International Conference on Image Processing (ICIP), Hong-Kong, China, September 2010. Keywords : skin hyper-pigmentation, Multi-spectral images, Support Vector Machines, Independant Component Analysis, Data reduction. @INPROCEEDINGS{sp02, author = {Prigent, S. and Descombes, X. and Zugaj, D. and Martel, P. and Zerubia, J.}, title = {Multi-spectral Image Analysis for Skin Pigmentation Classification}, year = {2010}, month = {September}, booktitle = {Proc.

These two methods are support vector machine (SVM) and blind source separation. To apply SVM, a dimension reduction method adapted to data classification is proposed. It allows to improve the quality of SVM classification as well as to have reasonable computation time. For the blind source separation approach we show that, using independent component analysis, it is possible to extract a relevant cartography of skin pigmentation.

12 - Building Detection in a Single Remotely Sensed Image with a Point Process of Rectangles. C. Benedek and X. Descombes and J. Zerubia. In Proc.

Keywords : Marked point process, multiple birth-and-death dynamics, Building extraction. @INPROCEEDINGS{benedekICPR10, author = {Benedek, C. and Descombes, X. and Zerubia, J.}, title = {Building Detection in a Single Remotely Sensed Image with a Point Process of Rectangles}, year = {2010}, month = {August}, booktitle = {Proc.

To cope with data heterogeneity we construct a flexible hierarchical framework which can create various building appearance models from different elementary feature based modules. A global optimization process attempts to find the optimal configuration of buildings, considering simultaneously the observed data, prior knowledge, and interactions between the neighboring building parts. The proposed method is evaluated on various aerial image sets containing more than 500 buildings, and the results are matched against two state-of-the-art techniques.

13 - Spectral Analysis and Unsupervised SVM Classification for Skin Hyper-pigmentation Classification. S. Prigent and X. Descombes and D. Zugaj and J. Zerubia. In Proc. IEEE Workshop on Hyperspectral Image and Signal Processing : Evolution in Remote Sensing (WHISPERS), Reykjavik, Iceland, June 2010. Keywords : Sectral analysis, Data reduction, Projection pursuit, Support Vector Machines, skin hyper-pigmentation. @INPROCEEDINGS{sp01, author = {Prigent, S. and Descombes, X. and Zugaj, D. and Zerubia, J.}, title = {Spectral Analysis and Unsupervised SVM Classification for Skin Hyper-pigmentation Classification}, year = {2010}, month = {June}, booktitle = {Proc. IEEE Workshop on Hyperspectral Image and Signal Processing : Evolution in Remote Sensing (WHISPERS)}, address = {Reykjavik, Iceland}, pdf = {http://hal.inria.fr/docs/00/49/55/60/PDF/whispers2010_submission_124.pdf}, keyword = {Sectral analysis, Data reduction, Projection pursuit, Support Vector Machines, skin hyper-pigmentation} } Abstract : Data reduction procedures and classification via support vector machines (SVMs) are often associated with multi or hyperspectral image analysis. In this paper, we propose an automatic method with these two schemes in order to perform a classification of skin hyper-pigmentation on multi-spectral images. We propose a spectral analysis method to partition the spectrum as a tool for data reduction, implemented by projection pursuit. Once the data is reduced, an SVM is used to differentiate the pathological from the healthy areas. As SVM is a supervised classification method, we propose a spatial criterion for spectral analysis in order to perform automatic learning.

From an alternative point of view, the approach can be viewed as an extension of the active contour methodology to an a priori unknown number of objects. Sampling and estimation are based on a stochastic birth-and-death process defined on the configuration space of an arbitrary number of objects, where the objects are defined by the image data and prior information. The performance of the approach is demonstrated via experimental results on synthetic and real data.

To estimate the optimal configuration of objects, the process is sampled using a Markov chain based on a stochastic birth-and-death process defined in a space of multiple objects. The single objects considered are defined by both the image data and the prior information in a way that controls the computational complexity of the estimation problem. The method is tested via experiments on a very high resolution aerial image of a scene composed of tree crowns.
