Cette thèse traite de la question de l’authenticité des photographies d’identité, partie intégrante des documents nécessaires lors d’un contrôle d’accès. Alors que les moyens de reproduction sophistiqués sont accessibles au grand public, de nouvelles méthodes / techniques doivent empêcher toute falsification / reproduction non autorisée de la photographie d’identité. Cette thèse propose une méthode de hachage pour l’authentification de photographies d’identité, robuste à l’impression-lecture. Ce travail met ainsi l’accent sur les effets de la numérisation au niveau de hachage. L’algorithme mis au point procède à une réduction de dimension, basée sur l’analyse en composantes indépendantes (ICA). Dans la phase d’apprentissage, le sous-espace de projection est obtenu en appliquant l’ICA puis réduit selon une stratégie de sélection entropique originale. Dans l’étape d’extraction, les coefficients obtenus après projection de l’image d’identité sur le sous-espace sont quantifiés et binarisés pour obtenir la valeur de hachage. L’étude révèle les effets du bruit de balayage intervenant lors de la numérisation des photographies d’identité sur les valeurs de hachage et montre que la méthode proposée est robuste à l’attaque d’impression-lecture. L’approche suivie en se focalisant sur le hachage robuste d’une classe restreinte d’images (d’identité) se distingue des approches classiques qui adressent une image quelconque / This thesis addresses the question of the authenticity of identity photographs, part of the documents required in controlled access. Since sophisticated means of reproduction are publicly available, new methods / techniques should prevent tampering and unauthorized reproduction of the photograph. This thesis proposes a hashing method for the authentication of the identity photographs, robust to print-and-scan. This study focuses also on the effects of digitization at hash level. The developed algorithm performs a dimension reduction, based on independent component analysis (ICA). In the learning stage, the subspace projection is obtained by applying ICA and then reduced according to an original entropic selection strategy. In the extraction stage, the coefficients obtained after projecting the identity image on the subspace are quantified and binarized to obtain the hash value. The study reveals the effects of the scanning noise on the hash values of the identity photographs and shows that the proposed method is robust to the print-and-scan attack. The approach focusing on robust hashing of a restricted class of images (identity) differs from classical approaches that address any image

Ziel dieser klinisch prospektiven Studie ist es myokardiale Fibrose bei Patienten mit hochgradiger symptomatischer Aortenklappenstenose nicht invasiv zu detektieren und ihren Einfluss auf das klinische Langzeitergebnis und auf regionale Deformationseigenschaften des linken -und rechten Ventrikels mittels neuerern echokardiographischen Verfahren wie der Gewebedopplertechnik vor und im Verlauf nach Aortenklappenersatz zu quantifizieren. Methoden: Bei 58 Patienten wurden intraoprativ Biopsien aus dem linken Ventrikel zur histologischen Beurteilung myokardialer Fibrose entnommen und im Serum Biomarker für Fibrose und chronische linksventrikuläre Druckbelastung vor Aortenklappenersatz bestimmt. Zusätzlich wurde bei allen Patienten eine koventionelle Echokardiographie (Beurteilung der globalen Herzfunktion mittels Ejektions Fraktion) zusammen mit einer Strain Rate Imaging Studie (Beurteilung regionaler Myokardfunktion) vor -, 14 Tage nach- und 9 Monate nach Aortenklappenersatz (AKE) durchgeführt. Des Weiteren wurde vor sowie 9 Monate nach AKE eine Gadolinium Late-Enhancement (LE) Magentresonaztomographie (MRT) Studie durchgeführt. (Detektion und Kontrolle der Myokardfibrose) Ergebnisse: Alle Patienten wurden gemäß des Schweregrades der Myokardfibrose aus den Biopsien in drei Gruppen eingeteilt. Gruppe Fibrose φ (n=21 keine Fibrose); Gruppe Fibrose I° (n=15 leichtgradige Fibrose); Gruppe Fibrose II° (n=22 hochgradige Fibrose). Biomarker für Fibrose und chronisch linksventrikukäre Druckbelastung P-III- N-P und NT-pro-BNP waren signifikant niedriger in Gruppe 1 gegenüber den beiden anderen Gruppen. An Hand der globalen Ejektions Fraktion waren Patienten aller drei Gruppen nicht zu unterscheiden. Im Gegensatz dazu war die regionale sytolische Funktion der Gruppe 1 im Vergleich zu Gruppe 3 signifikant höher. Gruppe 3 zeigte vor AKE häufiger und ausgeprägter LE im MRT, das auch neun Monate nach AKE unverändert war. Neun Monate nach Aortenklappenersatz konnte ein signifikant niedrigeres NYHA-Stadium in Gruppe 1 gegenüber Gruppe 3 dokumentiert werden. Zusammenfassung: Diese Daten lassen vermuten, dass bei Patienten mit hochgradiger Aortenklappenstenose myokardiale Fibrose einen signifikanten Einluss auf den klinischen Verlauf und auf die regionale Myokardfunktion hat sowie nicht invasiv detektiert und funktionell mittels Gewebedoppler evaluiert werden kann / Aim of this clinical prospective study was to investigate the amount of myocardial fibrosis using invasive and non invasive methods to show the impact on clinical and functional outcome before and after aortic valve replacement.(AVR) Methods: Myocardial biopsies were taken during AVR to determine the amount of myocardial fibrosis and blood biomarkers were measured indicating chronic left ventricular pressure overload. In all patients conventional echocardiography (for LV ejection fraction) and strain rate imaging (evaluating regional myocardial function) were performed before, 14 days and 9 months after AVR . Furthermore all patients underwent a magnetic resonance imaging study (MRI) with Gadolinium late enhancement technique (LE) to determine myocardial replacement fibrosis. Results: Patients were assigned to three groups according to their amount of myocardial fibrosis in cardiac biopsies. Group Fibrosis φ (n=21 no Fibrosis); Group Fibrosis I° (n=15 mild Fibrose); Group Fibrosis II° (n=22 severe Fibrosis). Blood biomarkers for fibrosis(PIIINP) and chronic left ventricular pressure overload (NT-pro-BNP) were significant lower in group no fibrosis compared to the other fibrosis groups. No differences could be seen relating to ejection fraction. However regional myocardial function was significant higher in group no fibrosis compared to group severe fibrosis. In addition group severe fibrosis showed more often and more pronounced LE in cardiac MRI and it stayed unchanged 9 months after AVR. A significant better clinical NYHA-Class was documented in group no fibrosis than in group severe fibrosis. Conclusion: These data suggest that myocardial fibrosis has a significant impact on the clinical outcome and regional myocardial function in patients with severe aortic valve stenosis and it can be detected using noninvasive methods such as cardiac MRI and tissue doppler imaging.

Neste trabalho, apresentamos uma extensão da técnica de varredura-Z baseada na análise espectral da evolução temporal da transmitância, quando um feixe laser é modulado numa freqüência f. As componentes de Fourier da evolução temporal da transmitância em f e 2f estão respectivamente relacionadas com os efeitos lineares e não-lineares e sua razão pode ser usada na eliminação de efeitos lineares. Este método, denominado varredura-Z resolvida em frequência, permite um aumento significativo na sensibilidade da técnica de varredura-Z em medidas de absorvedores lentos. Tal método se combinado com \"EZ-scan\" permite medidas de modulação de fase correspondentes a distorções da frente de onda de λ/105. A aplicabilidade bem como a sensibilidade desta técnica foram demonstradas em medidas realizadas em absorvedores lentos, especificamente o rubi e o aluminato de gadolínio dopado com cromo. Tais materiais são convenientes para estes fins, pois já tiveram suas não-linearidades investigadas anteriormente por diversos métodos. Como aplicação da técnica fizemos medidas das propriedades ópticas lineares e não-lineares em uma amostra de vidro fluoroindato dopado com cromo. Observamos que os valores de n2 (λ) seguem a curva de absorção desse material, e propomos um modelo que relaciona a origem da não-linearidade com as transições eletrônicas que ocorrem na região do visível. / This work presents an extension of the Z-scan technique based on the spectral analysis of the transmittance time-evolution when the laser beam is modulated at a frequency f. The Fourier components of the transmittance time-evolution at f and 2f are respectively related to the linear and nonlinear effects and their ratio can be used to eliminate spurious linear effects. This method, known as frequency resolved Z-scan, allows a significative increase in the sensitivity of the Z-scan technique for measurements of slow absorbers. When combined with the EZ-scan technique, it can measure transmittance changes corresponding to wavefront distortions of λ/105. The demonstration of the technique was carried out for slow absorbers, ruby and chromium-doped gadolinium aluminate. Such materials were conveniently chosen for this purpose since their optical nonlinearities are well stablished. As an application, we present linear and nonlinear optical properties of a chromium-doped fluorindate glass sample. We found that the values of n2 (λ) follow the absorption curve in this material and we have proposed a model which relates the origin of the nonlinearity with the electronic transitions that occur in the visible region of the spectrum.

A Prótese Buco Maxilo Facial é a especialidade da Odontologia responsável pela confecção de próteses intra e extra-bucais, indicadas quando regiões maxilofaciais foram perdidas. Implantes craniofaciais podem servir como ancoragem para próteses faciais, inclusive as óculo-palpebrais. O presente trabalho teve como propósito avaliar o comprimento e a espessura da estrutura óssea da região periorbitária e realizar a validação do método de mensuração proposto. Foram realizadas mensurações lineares de comprimento e largura das corticais ósseas das regiões peri-orbitárias em tomografias computadorizadas de 30 crânios humanos secos. Dois examinadores realizaram as mensurações, duas vezes cada um, com intervalos de no mínimo 7 dias, em pontos de referência determinados de acordo com as horas de um relógio. A análise estatística revelou que, para a grande maioria das medidas, as variações intra e inter-examinadores não apresentaram diferenças significantes (p<0,05), indicando que o método de mensuração proposto é confiável e válido para a mensuração da região peri-orbitária. Verificou-se que os três pontos de maior comprimento seguiram a mesma seqüência anatômica para as órbitas direita e esquerda, localizando-se no rebordo supra-orbitário e sendo compatíveis com a inserção de implantes osseointegráveis intra-bucais. Os três pontos localizados na parede lateral e na região látero-inferior da órbita apresentaram comprimento compatível com a utilização de implantes osseointegráveis intra-bucais. A parede medial de ambas as órbitas não apresentou comprimento favorável à inserção de implantes intra-bucais ou crânio-faciais. Os pontos de maior largura foram observados no rebordo supra-orbitário e na região látero-inferior de ambas as órbitas, e aqueles de menor largura foram encontrados na região látero-superior de ambas as órbitas. / The Maxillofacial Prosthesis is the dental specialty responsible for the confection of extra and intra-oral prosthesis indicated when facial regions have been lost. Craniofacial osseointegrated implants made possible the confection of implantretained facial prosthesis, namely the orbital prosthesis. This work aimed to evaluate the length and the thickness of the bone structure of the periorbital region and to present the validation of the method. Computer tomographies of 30 dry human skulls were made in order to register linear length and width measurements of the periorbital region. Two examiners, two times each one, took the measurements with intervals of at least 7 days between the measurements. Statistics pointed out that, for most instances, the intra and inter-examiners variations were not significant (p<0.05). Therefore, the method proposed is precise and valid for the measurement of the periorbital region. It was verified that the three points with deeper values followed the same anatomical sequence in the supraorbital rim for the right and left orbits, being compatible with the insertion of intraoral osseointegrated implants. The medial wall of both orbits did not present enough length to allow the insertion of intraoral or craniofacial implants. The points of larger width were observed in the supraorbital rim and in the infralateral region of both orbits, and those of smaller width were found in the supralateral region of both orbits.

A técnica de varredura-z tem sido bastante utilizada para a determinação do índice de refração não-linear (n2) em meios transparentes. Apresentamos neste trabalho uma análise teórica e resultados da técnica de varredura-z por reflexão, visando o estudo de efeitos térmicos em amostras que possuem coeficientes de absorção muito grandes. Extensões à técnica, tais como: a varredura-z resolvida no tempo e varredura-z resolvidas em freqüência puderam ser aplicadas para medir efeitos térmicos, pois estes são relativamente lentos nos materiais que medimos (água, polímero e vidro). Das componentes linear e quadrática da evolução temporal da transmitância, ou, da segunda componente de Fourier de curvas obtidas em duas freqüências, pode-se extrair parâmetros térmicos como: a capacidade térmica por unidade de massa e a difusividade térmica. Propriedades térmicas são de grande interesse na usinagem de peças, e em estudos sobre tensões estruturais e novos materiais. Pela teoria aqui desenvolvida, dada as constantes térmicas, é possível distinguir os efeitos térmicos e eletrônicos nas amostras que apresentam os dois. / The Z-Scan technique is the most popular one for the determination of the nonlinear index of refraction (n2) of transparent media. In this work we present a theoretical analysis and results of the reflection z-scan technique, aiming the research of thermal effects in highly absorbing materials. Extensions of the technique, such as the time resolved z-scan and the frequency resolved z-scan could be applied to measure thermal effects because they are relatively slow in the materials that we have measured (water, polystyrene and glass). From the linear and quadratic terms of the transmittance time evolution, or, from the second Fourier component of curves obtained in two frequencies, one can extract thermal parameters like: the heat capacity per unit mass and the thermal diffusion coefficient. Thermal properties are of great interest in the manufacture of pieces, and in the study of structure strains and new materials. By the theory presented here, if thermal constants are given, one can distinguish between thermal and electronic effects in samples that present both.

Neste trabalho são estudadas algumas propriedades ópticas de tetrâmeros de anilina em solução, usando o dimetil sulfóxido (DMSO) como solvente. Os espectros de absorção e emissão permitiram uma determinação aproximada dos níveis de energia do tetrâmero. Para a caracterização das propriedades ópticas não lineares foram utilizadas as técnicas de varredura-Z resolvida em freqüência e com trem de pulsos. Com a primeira foram determinados os parâmetros térmicos relacionados ao solvente, enquanto que com a segunda foram caracterizadas as não linearidades eletrônicas associadas aos estados excitados das moléculas. Além disso, foi possível obter a dinâmica das não linearidades presentes nas soluções, que apresentam um processo acumulativo relacionado à formação de uma lente térmica induzida pelo perfil gaussiano do laser. / This work reports on the optical properties of aniline tetramers in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solutions. Absorption and emission spectra allowed a rough estimate of the energy levels of the aniline tetramers. Nonlinear optical properties were studied with the frequency resolved Z-scan technique and with the Z-scan technique with pulse trains. The former determined the thermal parameters of the solvent, while the latter characterized electronic nonlinearities associated to molecular excited states. Moreover, we could analyze the dynamics of the optical nonlinearities and verify the presence of an accumulative process related to thermal lensing.

En raison du développement et de la disponibilité des appareils d'impression et de numérisation, le nombre de documents contrefaits augmente rapidement. En effet, les documents de valeur ainsi que les emballages de produits sont de plus en plus ciblés par des duplications non autorisées. Par conséquent, différents éléments de sécurité (hologrammes, encres, papiers) ont été proposés pour prévenir ces actions illégales. Dans cette thèse, nous nous concentrons sur les éléments de sécurité imprimés qui offrent un haut niveau de sécurité et qui possèdent une mise en œuvre et une intégration simple. Nous présentons comment générer de nouveaux éléments de sécurité qui visent à protéger les documents de valeur et les emballages contre des processus de duplication non autorisés. Ces éléments nous permettent en outre de stocker une grande quantité d'informations cachées.La caractéristique principale de ces éléments de sécurité est leur sensibilité au processus d'impression et de numérisation. Cette sensibilité est obtenue à l'aide de motifs texturés spécifiques. Ces motifs sont des images binaires qui possèdent une structure sensible aux processus d'impression, de numérisation et de copie. Nous définissons les critères spécifiques qui doivent être respectés lors du choix de ces motifs texturés. La quantité d'information encodée dans l'image augmente avec le nombre de motifs texturés utilisées.En complément, nous proposons dans ce mémoire d'améliorer la robustesse de la détection des modules, pour tous les codes graphiques, par l'utilisation d'une nouvelle mesure d'erreur quadratique moyenne pondérée. L'utilisation de cette nouvelle mesure nous a permis d'augmenter de façon significative le taux de reconnaissance des modules lorsqu'ils sont utilisés dans des codes à barres standard à haute densité. Enfin, nous étudions expérimentalement plusieurs phénomènes : le processus physique d'impression et de numérisation, la séparation du bruit du scanner de celui de l'imprimante et les changements de couleurs après processus d'impression et de numérisation. Nous concluons à partir de cette étude expérimentale, que le processus d'impression et de numérisation ne peut pas être modélisé comme un loi Gaussienne. Nous mettons en avant que ce processus n'est ni blanc ni ergodique au sens large. / Due to the development and availability of printing and scanning devices, the number of forged/counterfeited valuable documents and product packages is increasing. Therefore, different security elements (holograms, inks, papers) have been suggested to prevent these illegal actions. In this thesis, we focus on printed security elements that give access to a high security level with an easy implementation and integration. We present how to generate several novel security elements that aim to protect valuable documents and packaging against unauthorized copying process. Moreover, these security elements allow us to store a huge amount of hidden information.The main characteristic of these security elements is their sensitivity to the print-and-scan process. This sensitivity stems from the use of specific textured patterns. These patterns, which are binary images, have a structure that changes during the printing, scanning and copying processes. We define new specific criteria that ensures the chosen textured patterns to have the appropriate property. The amount of additional information encoded in the patterns increases with the number of patterns used.Additionally, we propose a new weighted mean squared error measure to improve the robustness of module detection for any high density barcodes. Thanks to this measure, the recognition rate of modules used in standard high density barcodes after print-and-scan process can be significantly increased. Finally, we experimentally study several effects: the physical print-and-scan process, separation of scanner noise from printer noise and changes of colors after print-and-scan process. We conclude, from these experimental results, that the print-and-scan process cannot be considered as being a Gaussian process. It has been also highlighted that this process is neither white nor ergodic in the wide sense.

Avec l’augmentation du nombre de scanner et de la dose collective, le risque potentiel d’apparition d’effets stochastiques est accentué. Pour limiter au maximum ce risque, les principes de justification et d’optimisation doivent être appliqués avec rigueur. L’optimisation des pratiques a pour but de délivrer la dose la plus faible possible tout en conservant une qualité diagnostique des images. C’est une tâche complexe qui implique de trouver en permanence un compromis entre la dose délivrée et la qualité image résultante. Pour faciliter cette démarche, des évolutions technologiques ont été développées. Les deux évolutions majeures sont la modulation du courant du tube en fonction de l’atténuation du patient et l’apparition des reconstructions itératives (IR). L’introduction des IR a modifié les habitudes puisqu’elles permettent de conserver des indices de qualité image équivalents en réduisant les doses. Cependant, leurs utilisations s’accompagnent d’une modification de la composition et de la texture de l’image nécessitant d’utiliser des métriques adaptées pour les évaluer. Le but de cette thèse est d’évaluer l’impact d’une utilisation des IR sur la réduction de la dose et sur la qualité des images afin de proposer en routine pour tous les patients, des protocoles avec la dose la plus faible possible et une qualité image adaptée au diagnostic. La première partie de cette thèse est consacrée à une mise au point sur la problématique du compromis dose/qualité image en scanographie. Les métriques de qualité image et les indicateurs dosimétriques à utiliser, ainsi que le principe et l’apport des reconstructions itératives y sont exposés. La deuxième partie est consacrée à la description des trois étapes réalisées dans cette thèse pour atteindre les objectifs. La troisième partie est constituée d’une production scientifique de 7 articles. Le 1er article présente la méthodologie d’optimisation globale permettant la mise en place de protocoles Basses Doses en routine avec utilisation de niveaux modérés des IR. Le 2ème article évalue l’impact et l’apport sur la qualité des images obtenues pour des niveaux de doses très bas. Le 3ème et le 4ème article montrent l’intérêt d’adapter ou de proposer des protocoles optimisés selon la morphologie du patient. Enfin les 3 derniers articles, illustrent la mise en place de protocoles Très Basses Doses pour des structures ayant un fort contraste spontané. Pour ces protocoles les doses sont proches des examens radiographiques avec des niveaux élevés des IR. La démarche d’optimisation mise en place a permis de réduire considérablement les doses. Malgré une modification de la texture et de la composition des images, la qualité des images obtenues pour tous les protocoles était jugée satisfaisante pour le diagnostic par les radiologues. L’utilisation des IR en routine nécessite une évaluation particulière et un temps d’apprentissage pour les radiologues. / The increasing number of scanner and the cumulative dose delivered lead to potential risk of stochastic effects. To minimize this risk, optimization on CT usage should be rigorously employed. Optimization aims to deliver the lowest dose but maintaining image quality for an accurate diagnosis. This is a complex task, which requires setting up the compromise between the dose delivered and the resulting image quality. To achieve such goal, several CT technological evolutions have been developed. Two predominant developments are the Tube Current Modulation and the Iterative Reconstruction (IR). The former lays one patient's attenuation, the latter depend on advanced mathematical approaches. Using IR allows one to maintain equivalent image quality values by reducing the dose. However, it changes the composition and texture of the image and requires the use of appropriate metric to evaluate them. The aim of this thesis was to evaluate the impact of using IR on dose reduction and image quality in routine for all patients, protocols with the lowest dose delivered with an image quality suitable for diagnosis. The first part of the thesis addressed the compromise between dose delivered and image quality. Metrics of the image quality and the dosimetric indicators were applied as well the principle and the contribution of IRs were explored. The second part targets the description of the three steps performed in this thesis to achieve the objectives. The third part of the thesis consists of a scientific production of seven papers. The first paper presents the global optimization methodology for the establishment of low dose protocols in routine using moderate levels of IR. The second paper assesses the impact and contribution of IR to the image quality obtained to levels very low doses. The third and the fourth papers show the interest to adapt or propose protocols optimized according to patient's morphology. Finally the last three papers illustrate the development of Very Low Dose protocols for structures with high spontaneous contrast. For these protocols, doses are close to radiographic examinations with high levels of IR. The optimization process implementation has significantly doses reduction. Despite the change on the texture and on composition of the images, the quality of images obtained for all protocols was satisfactory for the diagnosis by radiologists. However, the use of routine IR requires special assessment and a learning time for radiologists.

Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento CientÃfico e TecnolÃgico / Nesta dissertaÃÃo apresentamos os espectros de fÃnons dos oxiboratos de cÃlcio e terra-rara [RECa4O(BO3)3, RE = La e Gd], obtidos utilizando a tÃcnica de espalhamento Raman. As freqÃÃncias observadas foram designadas com base nas vibraÃÃes do grupo BO3 e correlaÃÃes com outros compostos similares jà apresentados na literatura. Discutimos a influÃncia da substituiÃÃo do Ãon RE na distribuiÃÃo de fÃnons destes compostos. Duas modificaÃÃes foram observadas quando o Gd3+ à substituÃdo pelo La3+: a freqÃÃncia da maioria dos fÃnons diminui e a diferenÃa na freqÃÃncia entre as componentes do dubleto do (BO3) decresce. Todos estes resultados resultam da expansÃo da rede monoclÃnica. TambÃm determinamos atravÃs da tÃcnica de z-scan, o Ãndice de refraÃÃo nÃo-linear (n2) destes compostos, que podem vir a ser utilizados como meios hospedeiros para lasers do tipo Yb-RECOB. Os elevados valores do Ãndice de refraÃÃo nÃo-linear medidos indicam a possibilidade destes materiais exibiram efeitos tipo lente (Kerr-lensing) e de auto-modulaÃÃo de fase substanciais, e, portanto, serem utilizados como osciladores e amplificadores lasers no regime de femtosegundos.

However, some data are continuos in the interval (0;1) such as rates and proportions or are limited in the interval (a;b), a < b. Therefore, in this work, we propose a spatial scan statistic for Beta regression model. The test statistics is based on a likelihood ratio test and evaluated using Bootstrap p-value. The proposed method is illustrated using infant mortality in the Amazonas State, Brazil.

Portanto, neste trabalho, vamos propor uma estatística scan espacial baseada em modelos de regressão Beta. A estatística de teste é baseada na razão de verossimilhança e avaliada usando o método de Bootstrap para o valor p.
