Currents- and varifolds-based registration of lung vessels and lung surfaces

Pan, Yue 01 December 2016 (has links)
This thesis compares and contrasts currents- and varifolds-based diffeomorphic image registration approaches for registering tree-like structures in the lung and surface of the lung. In these approaches, curve-like structures in the lung—for example, the skeletons of vessels and airways segmentation—and surface of the lung are represented by currents or varifolds in the dual space of a Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Space (RKHS). Currents and varifolds representations are discretized and are parameterized via of a collection of momenta. A momenta corresponds to a line segment via the coordinates of the center of the line segment and the tangent direction of the line segment at the center. A momentum corresponds to a mesh via the coordinates of the center of the mesh and the normal direction of the mesh at the center. The magnitude of the tangent vector for the line segment and the normal vector for the mesh are the length of the line segment and the area of the mesh respectively. A varifolds-based registration approach is similar to currents except that two varifolds representations are aligned independent of the tangent (normal) vector orientation. An advantage of varifolds over currents is that the orientation of the tangent vectors can be difficult to determine especially when the vessel and airway trees are not connected. In this thesis, we examine the image registration sensitivity and accuracy of currents- and varifolds-based registration as a function of the number and location of momenta used to represent tree like-structures in the lung and the surface of the lung. The registrations presented in this thesis were generated using the Deformetrica software package, which is publicly available at www.deformetrica.org.

Contributions au démélange non-supervisé et non-linéaire de données hyperspectrales / Contributions to unsupervised and nonlinear unmixing of hyperspectral data

Ammanouil, Rita 13 October 2016 (has links)
Le démélange spectral est l’un des problèmes centraux pour l’exploitation des images hyperspectrales. En raison de la faible résolution spatiale des imageurs hyperspectraux en télédetection, la surface représentée par un pixel peut contenir plusieurs matériaux. Dans ce contexte, le démélange consiste à estimer les spectres purs (les end members) ainsi que leurs fractions (les abondances) pour chaque pixel de l’image. Le but de cette thèse estde proposer de nouveaux algorithmes de démélange qui visent à améliorer l’estimation des spectres purs et des abondances. En particulier, les algorithmes de démélange proposés s’inscrivent dans le cadre du démélange non-supervisé et non-linéaire. Dans un premier temps, on propose un algorithme de démelange non-supervisé dans lequel une régularisation favorisant la parcimonie des groupes est utilisée pour identifier les spectres purs parmi les observations. Une extension de ce premier algorithme permet de prendre en compte la présence du bruit parmi les observations choisies comme étant les plus pures. Dans un second temps, les connaissances a priori des ressemblances entre les spectres à l’échelle localeet non-locale ainsi que leurs positions dans l’image sont exploitées pour construire un graphe adapté à l’image. Ce graphe est ensuite incorporé dans le problème de démélange non supervisé par le biais d’une régularisation basée sur le Laplacian du graphe. Enfin, deux algorithmes de démélange non-linéaires sont proposés dans le cas supervisé. Les modèles de mélanges non-linéaires correspondants incorporent des fonctions à valeurs vectorielles appartenant à un espace de Hilbert à noyaux reproduisants. L’intérêt de ces fonctions par rapport aux fonctions à valeurs scalaires est qu’elles permettent d’incorporer un a priori sur la ressemblance entre les différentes fonctions. En particulier, un a priori spectral, dans un premier temps, et un a priori spatial, dans un second temps, sont incorporés pour améliorer la caractérisation du mélange non-linéaire. La validation expérimentale des modèles et des algorithmes proposés sur des données synthétiques et réelles montre une amélioration des performances par rapport aux méthodes de l’état de l’art. Cette amélioration se traduit par une meilleure erreur de reconstruction des données / Spectral unmixing has been an active field of research since the earliest days of hyperspectralremote sensing. It is concerned with the case where various materials are found inthe spatial extent of a pixel, resulting in a spectrum that is a mixture of the signatures ofthose materials. Unmixing then reduces to estimating the pure spectral signatures and theircorresponding proportions in every pixel. In the hyperspectral unmixing jargon, the puresignatures are known as the endmembers and their proportions as the abundances. Thisthesis focuses on spectral unmixing of remotely sensed hyperspectral data. In particular,it is aimed at improving the accuracy of the extraction of compositional information fromhyperspectral data. This is done through the development of new unmixing techniques intwo main contexts, namely in the unsupervised and nonlinear case. In particular, we proposea new technique for blind unmixing, we incorporate spatial information in (linear and nonlinear)unmixing, and we finally propose a new nonlinear mixing model. More precisely, first,an unsupervised unmixing approach based on collaborative sparse regularization is proposedwhere the library of endmembers candidates is built from the observations themselves. Thisapproach is then extended in order to take into account the presence of noise among theendmembers candidates. Second, within the unsupervised unmixing framework, two graphbasedregularizations are used in order to incorporate prior local and nonlocal contextualinformation. Next, within a supervised nonlinear unmixing framework, a new nonlinearmixing model based on vector-valued functions in reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS)is proposed. The aforementioned model allows to consider different nonlinear functions atdifferent bands, regularize the discrepancies between these functions, and account for neighboringnonlinear contributions. Finally, the vector-valued kernel framework is used in orderto promote spatial smoothness of the nonlinear part in a kernel-based nonlinear mixingmodel. Simulations on synthetic and real data show the effectiveness of all the proposedtechniques
