Análisis y clasificación de imágenes repetitivas mediante técnicas de simetría computacional

Agustí Melchor, Manuel 02 May 2016 (has links)
[EN] Currently we handle a lot of visual information. We see, create and use many images in our diary lives and work. Analysis techniques based on low level features are, in many cases, little descriptive or representative for the human user. This is partly because they are highly dependent on the conditions of acquisition of each image and also, due to the difficulty of matching the content of the image with a high number of numeric values that describe very small details of the image. In the way of approximating the computational process to describe the image content to the human way of reasoning, current trends are aimed at the construction of descriptions that involve the use of more complex concepts. These abstractions are achieved by building more elaborate descriptions assume the variability (and tolerances) with which humans make the decisions when it comes to describe the visual content of images. This thesis addresses the use of symmetry and uses the combinations of symmetries presents in an image for description based on symmetry patterns rather than pixels patterns (textures). The problem of image description in these contexts can be viewed as a classification, because of its relationship to plane group theory (WallPaper Group Theory) also called mosaic or tessellation groups, is formulated as the determination of symmetry group an image belongs to. The number of these groups is finite (there are only seventeen in 2D) and are described by a set of internal symmetries with respect to a basic element that encapsulates the entire contents of the design. If we can determine the existence of repetitive content in a picture, we get a pattern for describing the image in terms of an area that is repeated indefinitely in the plane (no gaps, nor overlaps), in discrete steps obtained from the two directions of translational symmetry that defines the grid. Under this formulation, the image content can be expressed from a minimum elemental form, which contains no internal symmetry. / [ES] Actualmente manejamos mucha información de carácter visual. Vemos, creamos y usamos imágenes en gran medida para nuestra comunicación. Las técnicas de análisis basadas en características de bajo nivel son, en muchas ocasiones, poco descriptivas o representativas para el usuario humano. Esto es debido en parte a que son muy dependientes de las condiciones de adquisición de cada imagen y, también, a la dificultad de asociar el contenido de la imagen con una gran cantidad de valores numéricos que describen detalles muy pequeños de la misma. Buscando acercar la forma computacional a la humana de describir el contenido de una imagen, las tendencias actuales están encaminadas a la construcción de descripciones que implican el uso de conceptos mas complejos. Estas abstracciones se consiguen construyendo descripciones más elaboradas que asuman la variabilidad (y las tolerancias) con que los humanos tomamos las decisiones a la hora de describir el contenido visual de las imágenes. En esta tesis se aborda el uso de la simetría y la determinación de qué combinaciones de simetrías aparecen en una imagen para su descripción en base a patrones de simetría en lugar de por ejemplo patrones de píxeles, basados en las texturas, el color, etc. El problema de la descripción de imágenes en estos contextos se puede ver como uno de clasificación, debido a su relación con la teoría de grupos en el plano (WallPaper Group Theory) también denominada de mosaicos o teselación que se formula como la determinación del grupo de simetría al que pertenecen, caracterizado por un conjunto de simetrías interiores a un elemento básico que condensa todo el contenido del diseño. Si somos capaces de determinar si existe contenido repetitivo en una imagen, podremos obtener un patrón que permita describir la imagen en términos de un área que se repite de forma indefinida en el plano (sin dejar huecos y sin solapes), en pasos discretos marcados por las dos direcciones de simetría de traslación que define la retícula. Bajo esta formulación, el contenido de la imagen se puede expresar a partir de una forma elemental mínima, que no contiene ninguna simetría interior. / [CAT] Actualment fem ús de molta informació de caràcter visual. Veiem, creem i fem ús d'imatges en gran quantitat per a la nostra comunicació. Les tècniques d'anàlisi basades en característiques de baix nivell són, moltes voltes, poc descriptives o representatives per a l'usuari humà. Açò és degut en part a què són molt dependents de les condicions d'adquisició de cada imatge i, per la dificultat d'associar el contingut de la imatge amb una gran quantitat de valors numèrics que descriuen detalls molt menuts de la imatge. Per aproximar la forma computacional a la humana de descriure el contingut d'una imatge, les tendències actuals estan encaminades a la construcció de descripcions que impliquen l'ús de conceptes mes complexos. Estes abstraccions s'aconseguixen construint descripcions més elaborades que assumisquen la variabilitat (i les toleràncies) amb que els humans prenem les decisions a l'hora de descriure el contingut visual de les imatges. En esta tesi s'aborda l'ús de la simetria i la determinació de quines combinacions de simetries apareixen en una imatge per a la seua descripció basant-se en patrons de simetria en compter de patrons de píxels (textures) . El problema de la descripció d'imatges en estos contextos es pot veure com un de classificació, degut a la seua relació amb la teoria de grups en el pla (WallPaper Group Theory) també denominada de mosaics o teselación, es formula com la determinació del grup de simetria a què pertanyen, que és de cardinal finit (només hi ha dèsset en 2D) i es descriuen per un conjunt de simetries interiors a un element bàsic que condensa tot el contingut del disseny. Si som capaços de determinar si n'hi ha contingut repetitiu a una imatge, podrem obtindre un patró que permeta descriure la imatge en termes d'una àrea que es repetix de forma indefinida en el pla (sense deixar buits i sense solapamentss), en passos discrets marcats per les dos direccions de simetria de translació que definix la malla. Davall esta formulació, el contingut de la imatge es pot expressar a partir d'una forma elemental mínima, que no conté cap simetria interior / Agustí Melchor, M. (2016).

Conception, Réalisation et Caractérisation de papiers fonctionnels pour des applications de filtrage électromagnétique / Design, Development and Characterization of functional paper for filtering electromagnetic applications

Barros, Fabien de 19 December 2011 (has links)
Le brouillard électromagnétique dans lequel nous vivons en permanence estaujourd’hui montré du doigt car, outre les risques sanitaires qu’il pourrait engendrer, illimite l’usage de certaines technologies. L’importance des interférences entre réseauxsans fil, ou la peur du piratage sur ces mêmes réseaux, en sont deux exemples. Cetravail de thèse vise à développer un nouveau moyen de protection contre certaines deces ondes électromagnétiques. Plus spécifiquement, ce travail se focalise sur unetechnologie capable de filtrer uniquement les ondes WiFi et GSM à travers de grandessurfaces d’une habitation, comme un mur. Pour ce faire, la fonctionnalisation d’uncomposant standard des bâtiments, le papier-peint, a été étudié.L’utilisation de surfaces sélectives en fréquence a été retenue. Ces motifs sontdirectement imprimés sur du papier à l’aide d’encre conductrice et de la techniqued’impression flexographique. L’étude s’est également portée sur la réalisation de motifsde filtrage innovants. Les résultats de simulation montrent qu’ils sont capables de filtrerdeux ou trois bandes, qu’ils sont quasiment insensibles à la polarisation et à l’angled’incidence dans une plage allant de 0° à ± 80°. Le travail a ensuite permis dedémontrer la faisabilité pratique de ce concept aux stades laboratoire et industriel.Ensuite, nous avons démontré expérimentalement l’efficacité de ce concept dans lesbandes WiFi. La transmission atteint alors -30 dB. Enfin, une validation expérimentaledu produit en situation réelle a été menée, à savoir la pose du papier-peint sur du plâtre,du bois, l’influence de la colle ou encore la pose d’une couche de papier-peint décoratifpar-dessus le produit.En conclusion, les résultats pratiques obtenus confirment les résultats théoriquesestimés et, permettent à ce nouveau concept, appelé métapapier, d’être suffisammentefficace pour permettre la réduction des ondes WiFi ou GSM. / The electromagnetic smog in which we live today is nowadays a real issue because it limits the use of certain technologies and also because there are some potential health risks associated with it, even if the latter is still a controversial subject. The importance of the interferences between wireless networks or the possibility of data hacking on the same networks are two examples. The aim of this thesis is to develop a new way to protect buildings against some of these electromagnetic waves. More specifically, this work focuses on a technology able to filter only the WiFi and the GSM waves through large areas of a home, like a wall for example. To do this, the functionalization of a standard component of buildings, the wallpaper, was studied. The use of frequency selective surface (FSS) was chosen. These patterns are printed directly on paper with a conductive ink printing technology: the flexography. The study also focuses on the realization of innovative filter designs. Simulation results show that these novel FSS are able to filter two or three bands. They are almost insensitive to the polarization and to the angle of incidence in the range of 0° to ±80°. The realization feasibility of this concept in a laboratory or in industrial conditions was demonstrated. Next, an experimental demonstration of this concept in the WiFi bands was carried out. In this context, the transmission coefficient was reached -30 dB. Finally, an experimental validation of the product in real conditions of use was conducted, namely the wallpaper was put over plasterboards or over wood panels. Also, the influence of the glue on the general performances and the placement of a decorative wallpaper over the FSS wallpaper were studied. In conclusion, the practical results obtained confirm and validate the theoretical predictions of this new concept, called metapaper, and show that the practical realizations are efficient enough to allow the reduction of WiFi or GSM signals.

Kökets väggbeklädnad i svenska hem mellan åren 1890-1920 / Wallcovering in private kitchens in Sweden between 1890-1920

Hammerling, Anna January 2020 (has links)
During the twenty first century the enthusiasm among the general public the turn of the century 1900’s kitchen has increased in Sweden. Since around 2010 media is overflowing of imagery that cater to and perhaps even with an intention to further stimulate interest in the century 1900’s kitchens. The wallcovering plays a huge part in achieving that estetic. With the increase of serious interest in properly reconstructing and rebuilding these kinds of spaces the scientifically based conservation is vital. But how accurate is the public picture of the turn of the century 1900’s kitchen? How accurate is even the more academically recognized image of the kitchen in Sweden between 1890 to 1920? With this thesis, my intention is to expand the view and knowledge regarding wall coverings in the private kitchens in Sweden between 1890 - 1920. Also to increase underlying information to proper conservation for buildings. The knowledge in both private and state funded conservation in this aspect is, according to findings during the course of writing this thesis, is lacking due to the spars scholar level interest in this subject. This bachelor thesis purpose is to contribute to the advancement of scientifically based knowledge of the private kitchen wallcovering between 1890-1920 in Sweden and compare the popularized image of the kitchen wallcovering, with the result from my study. With different types of archive material, both figurative and written, this bachelor thesis aim at broadening the popularized image of the wallcovering in Sweden's home kitchens between the years 1890-1920. Iconology/iconography, conservation, pop culture and feminist theories have been considered when making this thesis. One among several findings, as presented in this thesis, is that the popularized image of wall covers in home kitchens in Sweden between the years of 1890-1920 differs significantly from their usual appearance.
