A análise da retina permite o diagnostico de muitas patologias relacionadas ao olho humano. A qualidade da imagem e um fator importante já que o médico normalmente examina os pequenos vasos da retina e a sua coloração. O equipamento normalmente utilizado para a visualização da retina e o retinógrafo digital, que utiliza sensor colorido com filtro de Bayer e luz (flash) branca. No entanto, esse filtro causa perda na resolução espacial, uma vez que e necessário um processo de interpolação matemática para a formação da imagem. Com o objetivo de melhorar a qualidade da imagem da retina, um retinógrafo com câmera CCD monocromática de alta resolução foi desenvolvido. Nele, as imagens coloridas são geradas pela combinação dos canais monocromáticos R (vermelho), G (verde) e B (azul), adquiridos com o chaveamento da iluminação do olho com LED vermelho, verde e azul, respectivamente. Entretanto, o pequeno período entre os flashes pode causar desalinhamento entre os canais devido a pequenos movimentos do olho. Assim, este trabalho apresenta uma técnica de registro de imagens, baseado em correlação de fase no domínio da frequência, para realizar precisamente o alinhamento dos canais RGB no processo de geração de imagens coloridas da retina. A validação do método foi realizada com um olho mecânico (phantom) para a geração de 50 imagens desalinhadas que foram corrigidas pelo método proposto e comparadas com as imagens alinhadas obtidas como referência (ground-truth). Os resultados mostraram que retinógrafo com câmera monocromática e o método de registro proposto nesse trabalho podem produzir imagens coloridas da retina com alta resolução espacial, sem a perda de qualidade intrínseca às câmeras CCD coloridas que utilizam o filtro de Bayer. / The analysis of retina allows the diagnostics of several pathologies related to the human eye. Image quality is an important factor since the physician often examines the small vessels of the retina and its color. The device usually used to observe the retina is the fundus camera, which uses color sensor with Bayer filter and white light. However, this filter causes loss of spatial resolution, since it is necessary a mathematical interpolation process to create the final image. Aiming at improving the retina image quality, a fundus camera with monochromatic CCD camera was developed. In this device, color images are generated by combining the monochromatic channels R (red), G (green) and B (blue), which were acquired by switching the eye illumination with red, green and blue light, respectively. However, the short period between the flashes may cause misalignment among the channels because of the small movements of the eye. Thus, this work presents an image registration technique based on phase correlation in the frequency domain, for accurately aligning the RGB channels on the process of generating retina color images. Validation of the method was performed by using a mechanical eye (phantom) for generating 50 misaligned images, which were aligned by the proposed method and compared to the aligned images obtained as references (ground-truth). Results showed that the fundus camera with monochromatic camera and the method proposed in this work can produce high spatial resolution images without the loss of quality intrinsic to color CCD cameras that uses Bayer filter.

Este trabalho discute a determinação de padrões respiratórios em sequências temporais de imagens obtidas por Ressonância Magnética (RM) e o seu uso no registro temporal de imagens coronais e sagitais. O registro é feito sem o uso de qualquer informação de sincronismo e qualquer gás especial para reforçar o contraste. As sequências temporais de imagens são adquiridas em respiração livre. O movimento real do pulmão nunca foi diretamente visto, pois é totalmente dependente dos músculos que o rodeiam. A visualização do pulmão em movimento é um tema atual de pesquisa na medicina. O movimento do pulmão não possui intervalos regulares e é suscetível a variações na respiração. Comparado à Tomografia Computadorizada (TC), a RM necessita de um maior tempo de aquisição e é preferível porque não envolve radiação. Como as sequências de imagens coronais e sagitais são ortogonais entre si, a sua intersecção corresponde a um segmento de reta no espaço tridimensional. O registro se baseia na análise deste segmento interseccional. A variação deste segmento de interseção no tempo pode ser enfileirada, definindo uma imagem espaço-temporal em duas dimensões (2DST). Supõe-se que o movimento diafragmático é o movimento principal de todas as estruturas do pulmão se movem quase que totalmente sincronicamente. A sincronização deste movimento é feita através de um padrão chamado função respiração. Este padrão é obtido através do processamento de uma imagem 2DST. Um algoritmo da transformada de Hough intervalar procura movimentos sincronizados na função respiração. O algoritmo de contornos ativos ajusta pequenas discrepâncias originadas por movimentos assíncronos nos padrões respiratórios . A saída é um conjunto de padrões respiratórios. Finalmente, a composição de imagens coronal e sagital que estão na mesma fase respiratória é realizada através da comparação de padrões respiratórios provenientes das superfícies de contorno superior e diafragmática. Quando disponíveis, os padrões respiratórios associados às estruturas internas do pulmão também são usados. Vários resultados e conclusões são apresentados. / This work addresses the determination of the breathing patterns in time sequence of images obtained from Magnetic Resonance (MR) and their use in the temporal registration of coronal and sagital images. The registration is done without the use of any triggering information and any special gas to enhance the contrast. The temporal sequences of images are acquired in free breathing. The real movement of the lung has never been seen directly, as it is totally dependent on its surrounding muscles and collapses without them. The visualization of the lung in motion is an actual topic of research in medicine. The lung movement is not periodic and it is susceptible to variations in the degree of respiration. Compared to Computerized Tomography (CT), MR imaging involves longer acquisition times and it is preferable because it does not involve radiation. As coronal and sagittal sequences of images are orthogonal to each other, their intersection corresponds to a segment in the three dimensional space. The registration is based on the analysis of this intersection segment. A time sequence of this intersection segment can be stacked, defining a two-dimension spatio-temporal (2DST) image. It is assumed that the diaphragmatic movement is the principal movement and all the lung structures move almost synchronously. The synchronization of this motion is performed through a pattern named respiratory function. This pattern is obtained by processing a 2DST image. An interval Hough transform algorithm searches for synchronized movements with the respiratory function. A greedy searches for synchronized movements with the respiratory function. A greedy active contour algorithm adjusts small discrepancies originated by asynchronous movements in the respiratory patterns. The output is a set of respiratory patterns. Finally, the composition of coronal and sagittal images that are in the same breathing phase is realized by comparing of respiratory patterns originated from diaphragmatic and upper boundary surfaces. When available, the respire tory patterns associated to lung internal structures are also used. Several results and conclusions are shown.

A medida de similaridade é parte fundamental no corregistro de imagens, guiando todo seu processo. Neste estudo foi feita a comparação entre diferentes métricas de similaridade no contexto do corregistro não rígido (ou elástico) de imagens médicas. Como as imagens cardíacas representam as mais desaadoras situações em corregistro de imagens médicas, foram utilizadas para teste imagens de ressonância magnética nuclear e imagens de ultrasom cardíaco com contraste. 10 métricas de similaridades diferentes foram comparadas extensivamente, quanto ao seu desempenho para o corregistro não rígido: a soma do quadrado das diferenças (SQD), correlação cruzada (CC), correlação cruzada normalizada (CCN), informação mútua (IM), entropia da diferença (ED), variância da diferença (VD), energia (EN), campo de gradiente normalizado (CGN), medida pontual de informação mútua (MPIM), medida pontual de entropia da diferença (MPED). As métricas baseadas em entropias de informação, IM, ED, foram generalizadas em termos da entropia de Tsallis e avaliadas em seu parâmetro q. Os resultados apresentados mostram a eciência das métricas estudadas para diferentes parâmetros, como dimensão da região de comparação entre as imagens, dimensão da região de busca por similaridade, número de tons de cinza das imagens e parâmetro entrópico. Estes achados podem ser úteis para a construção de denições apropriadas para o corregistro não-rígido, utilizado no corregistro de imagens médicas complexas. / The similarity measurement plays a key role in images registration, driving the whole process of registration. In this study a comparison was made between dierent metrics of similarity in the context of non-rigid registration in medical images. As cardiac images represent the most challenging situation in medical image registration, it has been used as test heart magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and cardiac ultrasound contrast images. In this work ten different similarity metrics have been compared extensively, as well its performance for the non-rigid registration process: the sum of the squared differences (SQD), cross- correlation (CC), normalized cross correlation (CCN), mutual information (IM), the entropy difference (ED), variance of the difference (VD), energy (EN), eld of normalized gradient (CGN), point measure of mutual information (MPIM), point measure of entropy differences (MPED). Metrics based on information entropies, IM, ED were eneralized in terms of Tsallis entropy and evaluated in its parameter q. The presented results show the effectiveness of the studied metrics for different parameters such as similarity window search size, similarity region search size, image maximum gray level, and entropic parameter. These nding can be helpful to construct appropriate non-rigid registration settings for complex medical image registration.

Fotorealistisches Rendering ist eines der Hauptziele der Computer Grafik. Mittels physikalischer Simulation ist eine fotorealistische Darstellung immer noch rechenaufwändig. Diese Arbeit stellt neue Methoden für Bild-basiertes Rendering komplexer Objekte am Beispiel von Kleidung vor. Die vorgestellten Methoden nutzen Kamerabilder und deren fotorealistische Eigenschaften für komplexe Animationen und Texturmodifikationen. Basierend auf der Annahme, dass für eng anliegende Kleidung Faltenwurf hauptsächlich von der Pose des Trägers beeinflusst wird, schlägt diese Dissertation ein neues Bild-basiertes Verfahren vor, das neue Bilder von Kleidungsstücken abhängig von der Körperpose einer Person aus einer Datenbank von Bildern synthetisiert. Posen-abhängige Eigenschaften (Textur und Schattierung) werden über Abbildungsvorschriften zwischen den Bildern extrahiert und im Posenraum interpoliert. Um die Erscheinung eines Objekts zu verändern, wird ein Verfahren vorgestellt, das den Austausch von Texturen ohne Kenntnis der zugrundeliegenden Szeneneigenschaften ermöglicht. Texturdeformation und Schattierung werden über Bildregistrierung zu einem geeigneten Referenzbild extrahiert. Im Gegensatz zu klassischen Bild-basierten Verfahren, in denen die Synthese auf Blickpunktänderung beschränkt und eine Veränderung des Objekts nicht möglich ist, erlauben die vorgestellten Verfahren komplexe Animationen und Texturmodifikation. Beide Verfahren basieren auf örtlichen und photometrischen Abbildungen zwischen Bildern. Diese Abbildungen werden basierend auf einem angepassten Brightness Constancy Constraint mit Gitternetz-basierten Modellen optimiert. Die vorgestellten Verfahren verlagern einen großen Teil des Rechenaufwands von der Darstellungsphase in die vorangegangene Trainingsphase und erlauben eine realistische Visualisierung von Kleidung inklusive charakteristischer Details, ohne die zugrundeliegenden Szeneneigenschaften aufwändig zu simulieren. / One principal intention of computer graphics is the achievement of photorealism. With physically-based methods, achieving photorealism is still computationally demanding. This dissertation proposes new approaches for image-based visualization of complex objects, concentrating on clothes. The developed methods use real images as appearance examples to guide complex animation or texture modification processes, combining the photorealism of images with the ability to animate or modify an object. Under the assumption that wrinkling depends on the pose of a human body (for tight-fitting clothes), a new image-based rendering approach is proposed, which synthesizes images of clothing from a database of images based on pose information. Pose-dependent appearance and shading information is extracted by image warps and interpolated in pose-space using scattered data interpolation. To allow for appearance changes in image-based methods, a retexturing approach is proposed, which enables texture exchange without a-priori knowledge of the underlying scene properties. Texture deformation and shading are extracted from the input image by a warp to an appropriate reference image. In contrast to classical image-based visualization methods, where animation is restricted to viewpoint change and appearance modification is not possible, the proposed methods allow for complex pose animations and appearance changes. Both approaches build on image warps, not only in the spatial but also in the photometric domain. A new framework for joint spatial and photometric warp optimization is introduced, which estimates mesh-based warp models under a modified brightness constancy assumption. The presented approaches shift computational complexity from the rendering to an a-priori training phase and allow a photo-realistic visualization and modification of clothes, including fine and characteristic details without computationally demanding simulation of the underlying scene and object properties.

La télédermatologie présente plusieurs avantages par rapport aux consultations traditionnelles en cabinet avec un dermatologue. Elle est particulièrement utile pour faciliter l'accès aux soins dermatologiques pour les patients ayant des problèmes de mobilité ou habitant loin des secteurs géographiques médicalisés. Un schéma de mosaïquage automatique d’images dédié à la création des panoramas étendus des vidéo-séquences de peau est proposé pour surmonter les limitations posées par le champ de vue réduit des images stationnaires acquises par les dispositifs actuellement utilisés. Les vidéo-séquences utilisées à cet effet sont acquises en utilisant un dispositif spécialement conçu pour un rendu colorimétrique contrôlé de la surface de la peau. Après une étude des diverses méthodes de recalage d'images existantes, une approche optimale est proposée, avec un certain compromis entre la précision de recalage et le temps de calcul, pour la superposition des parties communes des images cutanées. En outre, une approche pour affiner la correspondance initiale des points caractéristiques extraits est présentée. L'étude présentée porte principalement sur la construction cohérente d’une mosaïque dans son ensemble. Pour atteindre cet objectif, un schéma de mosaïque capable de générer des panoramas cohérents à partir de vidéo-séquences longues est présenté. Ce schéma estime dynamiquement la topologie de la trajectoire des images dans le plan de mosaïquage. Cela permet de placer les images sur le plan panoramique avec un nombre réduit d'images sur le chemin suivi pour atteindre une image donnée à partir d'une image de référence, ce qui réduit non seulement l'accumulation des erreurs, mais permet également d'éviter les interruptions dans le mosaïquage en excluant les paires d'images dont le recalage ne serait pas réussi. L'approche proposée offre une robustesse vis-à-vis des recalages échoués en trouvant des trajets alternatifs. En outre, un mode d'ajustement global pour améliorer davantage la cohérence de la mosaïque est présenté / Teledermatology offers several advantages in comparison to the traditional in-place consultations with a dermatologist. It is particularly useful for easing the access to the dermatological care for patients with mobility or travel constraints. A dedicated mosaicing scheme for creating extended panoramas of skin video sequences is proposed to surmount the limitations posed by the small field of view of stationary images acquired by currently used devices. The video sequences used for this purpose are acquired using a specially designed device for a colorimetrically correct rendering of the skin surface. After a study of various image registration approaches, an approach optimally suited to skin image registration with some compromise between registration accuracy and computation time is selected. In addition, an approach for refining the initially detected key-point correspondence is presented. Central focus of this study is on the overall coherent construction of the mosaic. To achieve this objective, a mosaicing scheme capable of generating coherent panoramas from long video sequences is presented. This scheme dynamically estimates the topology of the image trajectory in the panoramic plane to mosaic the images by reducing the number of images over the path used for reaching a given image from a reference image in order to place it on the panoramic plane. A small number of images reduces the accumulated errors, thus improving the visual coherency of the overall mosaic. Besides, the proposed approach offers robustness against failed registrations, which would interrupt the mosaicing process in the absence of the alternative paths. Moreover, a global adjustment scheme for further improving the coherency of the mosaic is presented

This document introduces a new class of adaptive filters, namely Geometric- Algebra Adaptive Filters (GAAFs). Those are generated by formulating the underlying minimization problem (a least-squares cost function) from the perspective of Geometric Algebra (GA), a comprehensive mathematical language well-suited for the description of geometric transformations. Also, differently from the usual linear algebra approach, Geometric Calculus (the extension of Geometric Algebra to differential calculus) allows to apply the same derivation techniques regardless of the type (subalgebra) of the data, i.e., real, complex-numbers, quaternions etc. Exploiting those characteristics, among others, a general leastsquares cost function is posed, from which two types of GAAFs are designed. The first one, called standard, provides a generalization of regular adaptive filters for any subalgebra of GA. From the obtained update rule, it is shown how to recover the following least-mean squares (LMS) adaptive filter variants: real-entries LMS, complex LMS, and quaternions LMS. Mean-square analysis and simulations in a system identification scenario are provided, showing almost perfect agreement for different levels of measurement noise. The second type, called pose estimation, is designed to estimate rigid transformations { rotation and translation - in n-dimensional spaces. The GA-LMS performance is assessed in a 3-dimensional registration problem, in which it is able to estimate the rigid transformation that aligns two point clouds that share common parts. / Este documento introduz uma nova classe de filtros adaptativos, entitulados Geometric-Algebra Adaptive Filters (GAAFs). Eles s~ao projetados via formulação do problema de minimização (uma função custo de mínimos quadrados) do ponto de vista de álgebra geométrica (GA), uma abrangente linguagem matemática apropriada para a descrição de transformações geométricas. Adicionalmente, diferente do que ocorre na formulação com álgebra linear, cálculo geométrico (a extensão de álgebra geométrica que possibilita o uso de cálculo diferencial) permite aplicar as mesmas técnicas de derivação independentemente do tipo de dados (subálgebra), isto é, números reais, números complexos, quaternions etc. Usando essas e outras características, uma função custo geral de mínimos quadrados é proposta, da qual dois tipos de GAAFs são gerados. O primeiro, chamado standard, generaliza filtros adaptativos da literatura concebidos sob a perspectiva de subálgebras de GA. As seguintes variantes do filtro least-mean squares (LMS) s~ao obtidas como casos particulares: LMS real, LMS complexo e LMS quaternions. Uma análise mean-square é desenvolvida e corroborada por simulações para diferentes níveis de ruído de medição em um cenário de identificação de sistemas. O segundo tipo, chamado pose estimation, é projetado para estimar transformações rígidas - rotação e translação { em espaços n-dimensionais. A performance do filtro GA-LMS é avaliada em uma aplicação de alinhamento tridimensional na qual ele estima a tranformação rígida que alinha duas nuvens de pontos com partes em comum.

A presente Dissertação de Mestrado pretende avaliar a eficácia da proteção do patrimônio cultural imaterial no Brasil por meio do registro previsto no Decreto nº 3.551/2000, que regulamentou em parte o artigo 216 da Constituição Federal de 1988, e foi concedido pelo Instituto do Patrimônio Histórico e Artístico Nacional (IPHAN). Para tanto, baseia-se em um estudo de caso envolvendo o gênero musical-coreográfico-poético e festivo denominado Fandango Caiçara, que é transmitido oralmente de geração a geração, no seio da comunidade tradicional caiçara localizada nos municípios de Iguape e Cananéia, no litoral sul do Estado de São Paulo, e nos municípios de Morretes, Paranaguá e Guaraqueçaba, no litoral norte do Estado do Paraná e cujo registro como Patrimônio Cultural do Brasil junto ao IPHAN ocorreu em 29 de novembro de 2012 no Livro das Formas de Expressão. Nossa análise também procura levar em consideração os aspectos socioambientais envolvidos, bem como os desafios que, em nossa opinião, devem ser enfrentados pela comunidade tradicional caiçara diante da obtenção do referido registro. / This Masters Dissertation intends to evaluate the effectiveness of the cultural heritage of immaterial natures protection in Brazil by means of the registration provided by Decree n. 3.551/2000, which was partially regulated by article 216 of the Federal Constitution of 1988 and was granted by the Institute of National Historical and Artistic Heritage (IPHAN). For that it is based on a case study involving the musical-choreographic-poetic and festive genre called Fandango Caiçara, which is orally transmitted from generation to generation within the caiçara traditional community located in the municipalities of Iguape and Cananéia, in the south coast of the State of São Paulo, and in the municipalities of Morretes, Paranaguá and Guaraqueçaba, in the north coast of the State of Paraná and whose registration as Cultural Heritage of Brazil before the IPHAN occured on November 29, 2012 in the Book of Forms of Expression. Our analysis also seeks to consider the socialenvironmental aspects involved as well as the challenges that, in our opinion, should be faced by the caiçara traditional community before the obtainment of said registration.

Pairwise alignment between point clouds is an important task in building 3D maps of indoor environments with partial information. The combination of 2D local features with depth information provided by RGB-D cameras are often used to improve such alignment. However, under varying lighting or low visual texture, indoor pairwise frame registration with sparse 2D local features is not a particularly robust method. In these conditions, features are hard to detect, thus leading to misalignment between consecutive pairs of frames. The use of 3D local features can be a solution as such features come from the 3D points themselves and are resistant to variations in visual texture and illumination. Because varying conditions in real indoor scenes are unavoidable, we propose a new framework to improve the pairwise frame alignment using an adaptive combination of sparse 2D and 3D features based on both the levels of geometric structure and visual texture contained in each scene. Experiments with datasets including unrestricted RGB-D camera motion and natural changes in illumination show that the proposed framework convincingly outperforms methods using 2D or 3D features separately, as reflected in better level of alignment accuracy. / O alinhamento entre pares de nuvens de pontos é uma tarefa importante na construção de mapas de ambientes em 3D. A combinação de características locais 2D com informação de profundidade fornecida por câmeras RGB-D são frequentemente utilizadas para melhorar tais alinhamentos. No entanto, em ambientes internos com baixa iluminação ou pouca textura visual o método usando somente características locais 2D não é particularmente robusto. Nessas condições, as características 2D são difíceis de serem detectadas, conduzindo a um desalinhamento entre pares de quadros consecutivos. A utilização de características 3D locais pode ser uma solução uma vez que tais características são extraídas diretamente de pontos 3D e são resistentes a variações na textura visual e na iluminação. Como situações de variações em cenas reais em ambientes internos são inevitáveis, essa tese apresenta um novo sistema desenvolvido com o objetivo de melhorar o alinhamento entre pares de quadros usando uma combinação adaptativa de características esparsas 2D e 3D. Tal combinação está baseada nos níveis de estrutura geométrica e de textura visual contidos em cada cena. Esse sistema foi testado com conjuntos de dados RGB-D, incluindo vídeos com movimentos irrestritos da câmera e mudanças naturais na iluminação. Os resultados experimentais mostram que a nossa proposta supera aqueles métodos que usam características 2D ou 3D separadamente, obtendo uma melhora da precisão no alinhamento de cenas em ambientes internos reais.

There has been a surge in the involvement of service users and carers in health and social care education, research, and practice in the last three decades within the United Kingdom. However, there are few studies that have evaluated the impact of Involvement in health and social care students' education. This study explored the impact of active involvement in Adult Nursing and Social Work pre-registration education. It provided a tripartite perspective from the perceptions of the three main stakeholders involved: students, academic staff and service users/carers in a specific Higher Education setting in the United Kingdom. A concurrent embedded mixed-methods approach was employed in this study. The study sample was drawn from the three participating stakeholder groups. A total of 38 participants took part in this study. Qualitative information was gathered using semi-structured interviews and focus groups, which explored participants' perspectives of the impact of active involvement in Adult Nursing and Social Work pre-registration degrees. Questionnaires was the data collection tool for the quantitative information required in this study. Questionnaire was helpful in obtaining contextual information about the participants and service users and carers' involvement at the research site. It was used to gather factual information about the participants and the current nature of the involvement in Adult Nursing and Social Work pre-registration degree as it was being practiced at the time of data collection and characteristics that may influence or affect the impact of involvement Qualitative data was analysed thematically from the semi-structured interviews and focus groups. Additionally, descriptive and cross-tab analysis of quantitative data was carried out. Then, a side-by-side comparison was used to identify aspects of the qualitative and quantitative findings that were convergent and conflicting. Findings of this study indicated that the scope and integration of service users and carers in educational activities varied greatly within and between subjects even within the same university. Social Work degree reported a wider scope and greater inclusion than the Adult nursing degree. Two main factors account for this notable differences between the two degrees. These are: the duration of involvement being a regulatory requirement by the Professional Regulatory and Statutory Bodies as well as the duration of conducting involvement. Furthermore, this study revealed that involvement influences all three main stakeholders in Higher Education. Some beneficial outcomes of involvement were similar in the academic staff and students' participant groups. Academic staff and service users/carers raised similar concerns. Overall, the participants indicated that service users and carers' involvement is generally positive and makes an important and unique contribution to the education of nurses and Social Workers supporting the delivery of patient/client-centred care. This study contributed to new knowledge about involvement in Adult Nursing and Social Work pre-registration degrees by generating a holistic view of its impact. This was achieved by exploring these impacts from a tripartite perspective of the three main stakeholders in Higher Education. This study also developed a modified six rung model that helps to involvement is active and meaningful. A partnership framework was proposed to inform future involvement practices and research about ways of optimising the beneficial outcomes and limiting the inhibitory factors of service users and carers' involvement in students' education. Overall, this study provided insights into best practices and pitfalls to avoid, which may be of value to HE providers, education commissioners as well as Professional Statutory and Regulatory Bodies regarding the practices of service users and carers' involvement in Higher Education.
