SPIE Symposium on Electronic Imaging}, address = {San Jose, USA}, url = {http://hal.inria.fr/inria-00269853/fr/}, keyword = {Change detection, directional Statistics, polygonal approximation, Classification} } Abstract : Most basic change detection algorithms use a pixel-based approach. Whereas such approach is quite well defined for monitoring important area changes (such as urban growth monitoring) in low resolution images, an object based approach seems more relevant when the change detection is specifically aimed toward targets (such as small buildings and vehicles). In this paper, we present an approach that mixes radiometric and geometric features to qualify the changed zones. The goal is to establish bounds (appearance, disappearance, substitution ...) between the detected changes and the underlying objects. We proceed by first clustering the change map (containing each pixel bitemporal radiosity) in different classes using the entropy-kmeans algorithm. Assuming that most man-made objects have a polygonal shape, a polygonal approximation algorithm is then used in order to characterize the resulting zone shapes. Hence allowing us to refine the primary rough classification, by integrating the polygon orientations in the state space. Tests are currently conducted on Quickbird data.

83 - Diagramme de phase d'une énergie de type contours actifs d'ordre supérieur : le cas d'une barre longue. A. El Ghoul and I. H. Jermyn and J. Zerubia.

Le modèle énergétique des CAOS à minimiser présente des comportements différents en fonction des valeurs des paramètres du modèle. Il s’est avéré que deux structures géométriques sont favorisées par ce modèle : des structures linéiques et circulaires. Nous nous intéressons ici à la détermination du diagramme de phase, qui définit les gammes des valeurs des paramètres du modèle des CAOS, permettant d’obtenir des structures linéiques. Abstract : In this paper, we present a stability analysis of a “higher-order active contour” (HOAC) model for road network extraction from remotely sensed images. The HOAC energy presents several different behaviours depending on the model parameter values. Two types of geometric structure are favoured, namely line networks and circles. In this work, we derive the phase diagram giving the parameter ranges of the HOAC model that allow stable linear structures.

86 - A `Gas of Circles' Phase Field Model and its Application to Tree Crown Extraction. P. Horvath and I. H. Jermyn. In Proc. European Signal Processing Conference (EUSIPCO), Poznan, Poland, September 2007. Keywords : Phase Field, Tree Crown Extraction. @INPROCEEDINGS{Horvath07d, author = {Horvath, P. and Jermyn, I. H.}, title = {A `Gas of Circles' Phase Field Model and its Application to Tree Crown Extraction}, year = {2007}, month = {September}, booktitle = {Proc. European Signal Processing Conference (EUSIPCO)}, address = {Poznan, Poland}, pdf = {ftp://ftp-sop.inria.fr/ariana/Articles/2007_Horvath07d.pdf}, keyword = {Phase Field, Tree Crown Extraction} } Abstract : The problem of extracting the region in the image domain corresponding to an a priori unknown number of circular objects occurs in several domains. We propose a new model of a `gas of circles', the ensemble of regions in the image domain composed of circles of a given radius. The model uses the phase field reformulation of higher-order active contours (HOACs). Phase fields possess several advantages over contour and level set approaches to region modelling, in particular for HOAC models. The reformulation allows us to benefit from these advantages without losing the strengths of the HOAC framework. Combined with a suitable likelihood energy, and applied to the tree crown extraction problem, the new model shows markedly improved performance, both in quality of results and in computation time, which is two orders of magnitude less than the HOAC level set implementation.

87 - A Phase Field Model Incorporating Generic and Specific Prior Knowledge Applied to Road Network Extraction from VHR Satellite Images. T. Peng and I. H. Jermyn and V. Prinet and J. Zerubia and B.

Our model of the region occupied by the road network in the image is innovative. It incorporates three different types of prior geometric knowledge: generic boundary smoothness constraints, equivalent to a standard active contour prior; knowledge of the geometric properties of road networks (i.e. that they occupy regions composed of long, low-curvature segments joined at junctions), equivalent to a higher-order active contour prior; and knowledge of the road network at an earlier date derived from GIS data, similar to other ‘shape priors’ in the literature. In addition, we represent the road network region as a ‘phase field’, which offers a number of important advantages over other region modelling frameworks. All three types of prior knowledge prove important for overcoming the complexity of geometric ‘noise’ in VHR images. Promising results and a comparison with several other techniques demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach.

To ensure robustness, we adopt an unsupervised coarse matching instead of a precise image registration. The challenge of the proposed model is to eliminate the registration errors, noise and the parallax artifacts caused by the static objects having considerable height (buildings, trees, walls etc.) from the difference image. We describe the background membership of a given image point through two different features, and introduce a novel three-layerMarkov Random Field (MRF) model to ensure connected homogenous regions in the segmented image.

92 - A Multispectral Data Model for Higher-Order Active Contours and its Application to Tree Crown Extraction. P. Horvath. In Proc. Advanced Concepts for Intelligent Vision Systems, Delft, Netherlands, August 2007. Keywords : Higher-order, Tree Crown Extraction, Colour. @INPROCEEDINGS{Horvath07c, author = {Horvath, P.}, title = {A Multispectral Data Model for Higher-Order Active Contours and its Application to Tree Crown Extraction}, year = {2007}, month = {August}, booktitle = {Proc. Advanced Concepts for Intelligent Vision Systems}, address = {Delft, Netherlands}, pdf = {ftp://ftp-sop.inria.fr/ariana/Articles/2007_Horvath07c.pdf}, keyword = {Higher-order, Tree Crown Extraction, Colour} } Abstract : Forestry management makes great use of statistics concerning the individual trees making up a forest, but the acquisition of this information is expensive. Image processing can potentially both reduce this cost and improve the statistics. The key problem is the delineation of tree crowns in aerial images. The automatic solution of this problem requires considerable prior information to be built into the image and region models. Our previous work has focused on including shape information in the region model; in this paper we examine the image model. The aerial images involved have three bands. We study the statistics of these bands, and construct both multispectral and single band image models. We combine these with a higher-order active contour model of a `gas of circles' in order to include prior shape information about the region occupied by the tree crowns in the image domain. We compare the results produced by these models on real aerial images and conclude that multiple bands improves the quality of the segmentation. The model has many other potential applications, e.g. to nano-technology, microbiology, physics, and medical imaging.

93 - A New Phase Field Model of a `Gas of Circles' for Tree Crown Extraction from Aerial Images. P. Horvath and I. H. Jermyn. In Proc. International Conference on Computer Analysis of Images and Patterns (CAIP), Vienna, Austria, August 2007. Keywords : Phase Field, Tree Crown Extraction. @INPROCEEDINGS{Horvath07b, author = {Horvath, P. and Jermyn, I.

International Conference on Computer Analysis of Images and Patterns (CAIP)}, address = {Vienna, Austria}, pdf = {ftp://ftp-sop.inria.fr/ariana/Articles/2007_Horvath07b.pdf}, keyword = {Phase Field, Tree Crown Extraction} } Abstract : We describe a model for tree crown extraction from aerial images, a problem of great practical importance for the forestry industry. The novelty lies in the prior model of the region occupied by tree crowns in the image, which is a phase field version of the higher-order active contour inflection point `gas of circles' model. The model combines the strengths of the inflection point model with those of the phase field framework: it removes the `phantom circles' produced by the original `gas of circles' model, while executing two orders of magnitude faster than the contour-based inflection point model. The model has many other areas of application e.g., to imagery in nanotechnology, biology, and physics.

This framework combines the strengths of two important ideas - elastic shape metric and path-straightening methods - for finding geodesics in shape spaces of curves. The elastic metric allows for optimal matching of features between curves while path-straightening ensures that the algorithm results in geodesic paths. This paper extends this framework by removing two important shape preserving transformations: rotations and re-parameterizations, by forming quotient spaces and constructing geodesics on these quotient spaces. These ideas are demonstrated using experiments involving 2D and 3D curves.

The CLSM is an optical fluorescence microscope that scans a specimen in 3D and uses a pinhole to reject most of the out-of-focus light. However, the quality of the images suffers from two basic physical limitations. The diffraction-limited nature of the optical system, and the reduced amount of light detected by the photomultiplier cause blur and photon counting noise respectively. These images can hence benefit from post-processing restoration methods based on deconvolution. An efficient method for parametric blind image deconvolution involves the simultaneous estimation of the specimen 3D distribution of fluorescent sources and the microscope PSF. By using a model for the microscope image acquisition physical process, we reduce the number of free parameters describing the PSF and introduce constraints. The parameters of the PSF may vary during the course of experimentation, and so they have to be estimated directly from the observed data. A priori model of the specimen is further applied to stabilize the alternate minimization algorithm and to converge to the solutions.

This paper combines the strengths of two important ideas---elastic shape metric and path-straightening methods---and results in a very fast algorithm for finding geodesics in shape spaces. The elastic metric allows for optimal matching of features between the two curves while path-straightening ensures that the algorithm results in geodesic paths. For the novel representation proposed here, the elastic metric becomes the simple L^2 metric, in contrast to the past usage where more complex forms were used. We present the step-by-step algorithms for computing geodesics and demonstrate them with 2-D as well as 3-D examples.

Keywords : Indexation, Road network, Semantic, Retrieval, Feature statistics. @INPROCEEDINGS{Bhattacharya07a, author = {Bhattacharya, A. and Roux, M. and Maitre, H. and Jermyn, I.

Other entities in an image may be strongly correlated with the entity of interest and their properties can therefore be used to characterize this entity. The road network contained in an image is one example. The properties of road networks vary considerably from one geographical environment to another, and they can therefore be used to classify and retrieve such environments. In this paper, we define several such environments, and classify them with the aid of geometrical and topological features computed from the road networks occurring in them. The relative failure of network extraction methods in certain types of urban area obliges us to segment such areas and to add a second set of geometrical and topological features computed from the segmentations. To validate the approach, feature selection and SVM linear kernel classification are performed on the feature set arising from a diverse image database.

100 - Riemannian Analysis of Probability Density Functions with Applications in Vision. S. Joshi and A. Srivastava and I. H. Jermyn. In Proc.

For this one needs to impose a Riemannian structure on the spaces formed by these functions. We propose a em spherical version of the Fisher-Rao metric that provides closed form expressions for geodesics and distances, and allows an efficient computation of statistics. We compare this metric with some previously used metrics and present an application in planar shape classification.
