Abstract :
We analyze the illumination invariance of the level lines of an image. We show that if the scene
surface has Lambertian reflectance and the light is directed, then a necessary and sufficient condition
for the level lines to be illumination invariant is that the three-dimensional scene be developable and
that its albedo satisfy some geometrical constraints. We then show that the level lines are “almost”
invariant for piecewise developable surfaces. Such surfaces fit most of the urban structures. This
allows us to devise a fast and simple algorithm that detects changes between pairs of remotely
sensed images of urban areas, independently of the lighting conditions. We show the effectiveness of
the algorithm both on synthetic OpenGL scenes and real QuickBird images. The synthetic results
illustrate the theory developed in this paper. The two real QuickBird images show that the proposed
change detection algorithm is discriminant. For easy scenes it achieves a rate of 85% detected changes
for 10% false positives, while it reaches a rate of 75% detected changes for 25% false positives on
demanding scenes.

Résumé :
Dans cet article, nous nous intéressons à la régularisation de problèmes inverses reposant sur des critères l1 . Nous séparons ces critères en deux catégories : ceux qui favorisent la régularisation des signaux (à variation totale bornée par exemple) et ceux qui expriment le fait qu'un signal admet une représentation parcimonieuse dans un dictionnaire. Dans une première partie, nous donnons quelques éléments de comparaisons théoriques et pratiques sur les deux a priori, pour aider le lecteur à choisir l'un ou l'autre en fonction de son problème. Pour cette étude, nous utilisons les transformées communément utilisées telles que la variation totale, les ondelettes redondantes ou les curvelets. Dans une deuxième partie, nous proposons un état des lieux des algorithmes de premier ordre adaptés à la minimisation de ces critères. |

Résumé :
Cette thèse contient des contributions en analyse numérique et en vision par ordinateur. Dans une première partie, nous nous intéressons à la résolution rapide, par des méthodes de premier ordre, de problèmes d'optimisation convexe. Ces problèmes apparaissent naturellement dans de nombreuses tâches telles que la reconstruction d'images, l'échantillonnage compressif ou la décomposition d'images en texture et en géométrie. Ils ont la particularité d'être non différentiables ou très mal conditionnés. On montre qu'en utilisant des propriétés fines des fonctions à minimiser on peut obtenir des algorithmes de minimisation extrêmement efficaces. On analyse systématiquement leurs taux de convergence en utilisant des résultats récents dûs à Y. Nesterov. Les méthodes proposées correspondent - à notre connaissance - à l'état de l'art des méthodes de premier ordre. Dans une deuxième partie, nous nous intéressons au problème de la détection de changements entre deux images satellitaires prises au même endroit à des instants différents. Une des difficultés principales à surmonter pour résoudre ce problème est de s'affranchir des conditions d'illuminations différentes entre les deux prises de vue. Ceci nous mène à l'étude de l'invariance aux changements d'illuminations des lignes de niveau d'une image. On caractérise complètement les scènes qui fournissent des lignes de niveau invariantes. Celles-ci correspondent assez bien à des milieux urbains. On propose alors un algorithme simple de détection de changements qui fournit des résultats très satisfaisants sur des images synthétiques et des images Quickbird réelles. |

Résumé :
De nombreuses méthodes de restauration d'images consistent à minimiser une énergie convexe. Nous nous focalisons sur l'utilisation de ces méthodes et considérons la minimisation de deux critères contenant une norme l1 des coefficients en ondelettes. La plupart des travaux publiés récemment proposent un critère à minimiser dans le domaine des coefficients en ondelettes, utilisant ainsi un a priori de parcimonie. Nous proposons un algorithme rapide et des résultats de déconvolution par minimisation d'un critère dans le domaine image, avec un a priori de régularité exprimé dans le domaine image utilisant une décomposition redondante sur une trame. L'algorithme et le modèle proposés semblent originaux pour ce problème en traitement d'images et sont performants en terme de temps de calculs et de qualité de restauration. Nous montrons des comparaisons entre les deux types d' a priori. |
Abstract :
Many image restoration techniques are based on convex energy minimization. We focus on the use of these techniques and consider the minimization of two criteria holding a l1-norm of wavelet coefficients. Most of the recent research works are based on the minimization of a criterion in the wavelet coefficients domain, namely as a sparse prior. We propose a fast algorithm and deconvolution results obtained by minimizing a criterion in the image domain using a redundant decomposition on a frame. The algorithm and model proposed are unusual for this problem and very efficient in term of computing time and quality of restoration results. We show comparisons between the two different priors. |

Abstract :
In this paper, we present a new algorithm to solve some inverse problems coming from the field of image processing. The models we study consist in minimizing a regularizing, convex criterion under a convex and compact set. The main idea of our scheme consists in solving the underlying variational inequality with a proximal method rather than the initial convex problem. Using recent results of A. Nemirovski [13], we show that the scheme converges at least as O(1/k) (where k is the iteration counter). This is in some sense an optimal rate of convergence. Finally, we compare this approach to some others on a problem of image cartoon+texture decomposition. |

Abstract :
In this paper, we present two algorithms to solve some inverse problems coming from the field of image processing. The problems we study are convex and can be expressed simply as sums of lp-norms of affine transforms of the image. We propose 2 different techniques. They are - to the best of our knowledge - new in the domain of image processing and one of them is new in the domain of mathematical programming. Both methods converge to the set of minimizers. Additionally, we show that they converge at least as O(1/N) (where N is the iteration counter) which is in some sense an ``optimal'' rate of convergence. Finally, we compare these approaches to some others on a toy problem of image super-resolution with impulse noise. |
