▼ Aircraft icing is widely recognized as a significant hazard to aircraft operations in cold weather. When an aircraft or rotorcraft fly in a cold climate, some of the super-cooled water droplets would impact and freeze on the exposed aircraft surfaces to form ice shapes, which can degrade the aerodynamic performance of an airplane significantly by decreasing lift while increasing drag, and even lead to the aircraft crash. In the present study, a series of experimental investigations were conducted to investigate dynamics and thermodynamics of in-flight and impinging water droplets in order to elucidate the underlying physics of the important microphysical process pertinent to aircraft icing phenomena. A novel lifetime-based molecular tagging thermometry technique (MTT) is developed to achieve simultaneous measurements of droplet size, flying velocity and transient temperature of in-flight water droplets to characterize the dynamic and thermodynamic behaviors of the micro-sized in-flight droplets pertinent to aircraft icing phenomena. By using high-speed imaging and infrared thermal imaging techniques, a comprehensive experimental study was conducted to quantify the unsteady heat transfer and phase changing processes as water droplets impinging onto frozen cold surfaces under different test conditions (i.e., with different Weber numbers, Reynolds numbers, and impact angles of the impinging droplets, different temperature, hydrophobicity and roughness of the test plates) to simulate the scenario of super-cooled water droplets impinging onto the frozen cold wing surfaces. A novel digital image projector (DIP) technique was also developed to achieve time-resolved film thickness measurements to quantify the dynamic impinging process of water droplets (i.e., droplet impact, rebounding, splashing and freezing process). An impact droplet maximum spreading diameter model and a damped harmonic oscillator model was proposed based on precise measurement of the impact droplet 3D shape. A better understanding of the important micro physical processes pertinent to aircraft icing phenomena would lead to better ice accretion models for more accurate prediction of ice formation and accretion on aircraft wings as well as develop more effective and robust anti-/de-icing strategies for safer and more efficient operation of aircraft in cold weather.

Dans le circuit de la greffe de cornée, l'endothélium de chaque greffon est observé en microscopie optique conventionnelle afin de vérifier que sa densité cellulaire est suffisante pour maintenir une bonne transparence après l'opération. Les greffons étant conservés dans un milieu spécifique, ils sont imprégnés de liquide et présentent donc des plis qui perturbent l'observation et le comptage des cellules. Ce problème pratique est à l'origine d’une étude théorique sur les concepts de profondeur de champ étendue et de shape-from-focus. A partir d'une séquence d'images acquise par sectionnement optique, les informations les plus nettes permettent d'une part d'accéder à la topographie de la surface observée et d'autre part de restaurer l'image de sa texture. Une reconstruction surfacique 3-D est alors obtenue en projetant la texture sur la topographie. Cette thèse considère essentiellement l’étape fondamentale de mesure de netteté du processus de reconstruction. Des nouvelles mesures génériques offrant une haute sensibilité à la netteté sont introduites. De par une stratégie 3-D originale au travers de la séquence d'images, une autre mesure très robuste au bruit est proposée. Toutes ces mesures sont testées sur des données simulées puis diverses acquisitions réelles en microscopie optique conventionnelle et comparées aux méthodes de la littérature. Par ailleurs, la mesure 3-D améliore nettement les reconstructions d'endothéliums cornéens à partir de leurs acquisitions particulièrement perturbées (inversions de contraste). Un processus itératif complet de reconstruction 3-D d’endothéliums cornéens est finalement décrit, aboutissant à des résultats solides et exploitables.

In the cornea transplant process, each graft endothelium is observed by conventional optical microscopy to check that its cell density is sufficient to maintain a proper transparency after the transplantation. The grafts are stored in a specific preservation medium, they are thus impregnated with fluid and therefore exhibit folds which make cell observation and counting difficult. This practical issue led to the following theoretical study about the so-called concepts: extended-depth-of-field and shape-from-focus. Throughout a sequence of images acquired by optical sectioning, the in-focus information allows on the one hand to recover the topography of the observed surface and on the other hand to restore the image of its texture. A 3-D reconstruction is then obtained by mapping the texture onto the topography. This thesis basically considers the fundamental step of the reconstruction process that is the focus measurement. New generic focus measurements exhibiting high sharpness sensitivity are introduced. Another one offering high noise robustness is proposed, due to an original 3-D strategy through the image sequence, unlike traditional methods that operate in 2-D. All of them are tested on simulated data and various real acquisitions, and compared to the state-of-the-art methods. Furthermore, the aforementioned 3-D focus measurement clearly…

▼ Interpretation of acoustical images to understand the characteristics of a scene and identify under-water objects has become a problem of high importance in a variety of applications. In the meantime, the computer processing of forward-scan sonar video imagery has enabled significant capabilities in a wide variety of underwater operations within turbid environments. Further developments are inevitable with more accurate representation of the image formation principles of these sonars. Sonar images are formed by transmitting acoustical pulses and measuring the reflected sound power from the scene surfaces. The recorded signal encodes information about the shape and material properties of these surfaces. The inherent ambiguities in the interpretation of the 3-D world based on visual cues in a 2-D forward-scan sonar image arise as a result of both operating as a ranging device and loss of elevation angle information due to the projection geometry. One aspect of this work is modeling the image formed by a new class of high-resolution 2-D forward-scan sonar systems which supports our complementary aim of simulating FL sonar images. The other aspect is reconstructing 3-D objects by either recovering the unknown zenith angles from image brightness of a single sonar view or by applying a carving based technique on multiple sonar views. To elaborate, we first provide a detailed derivation for modeling the image formed by a forward-scan sonar. Our initial model derived for a small surface patch is generalized to handle multiple patches and account for the signal type and pulse-width. We exemplify and simulate our model for a circular target profile and validate it by comparing with the true intensities measured from two isolated cylindrical targets with circular cut sections. Then we demonstrate application of our model for multi-path reflections from bottom surfaces with hemi-cylindrical and hemi-spherical targets laid on the bottom. Next, we propose a method to recover the unknown zenith angles from image brightness and thus reconstruct 3-D objects. Our method applies to a single forward-scan sonar image, assuming that the scene objects have smooth surfaces that vary monotonically in terms of distance from the sonar, and cast visible shadows on a flat background. We present the results of experiments with real data to demonstrate the performance of our 3-D reconstruction technique. Finally, we develop a method for determining the 3-D shape of a target from multiple 2-D forward-scan sonar images at given sonar poses. Our strategy is based on sequentially carving the non-target space projecting onto the so-called dark pixels on various images. We demonstrate how the remaining space, deemed to be occupied by the target, approaches toward the object volume, given enough views. The images acquired through sonar roll motions, rather than circumnavigating the target, are critical for more precise reconstruction. Employing our image simulator, we perform extensive tests to assess the convergence properties of our 3-D approach for… Advisors/Committee Members: Shahriar Negahdaripour, Mohamed Abdel-Mottaleb, Kamal Premaratne, Michael G.

▼ In this thesis, an innovative algorithm for improving the accuracy of variational space-time stereoscopic reconstruction of ocean surfaces is presented. The space-time reconstruction method, developed based on stereo computer vision principles and variational optimization theory, takes videos captured by synchronized cameras as inputs and produces the shape and superficial pattern of an overlapped region of interest as outputs. These outputs are designed to be the minimizers of the variational optimization framework and are dependent on the estimation of the camera parameters. Therefore, from the perspective of computer vision, the proposed algorithm adjusts the estimation of camera parameters to lower the disagreement between the reconstruction and 2-D camera recordings. From a mathematical perspective, since the minimizers of the variational framework are determined by a set of partial differential equations (PDEs), the algorithm modifies the coefficients of the PDEs based on the current numerical solutions to reduce the minimum of the optimization framework. Our algorithm increases the tolerance to the errors of camera parameters, so the joint operations of our algorithm and the variational reconstruction method can generate accurate space-time models even using videos captured by perturbed cameras as input. This breakthrough prompts the realization of ocean surface reconstruction using videos filmed by remotely-controlled helicopters in the future. A number of techniques, technical or theoretical, are explored to fulfill the development and implementation of the algorithm and relative computation issues. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is validated through the statistics applied to real ocean surface reconstructions of data collected from an offshore platform at the Crimean Peninsula, the Black Sea. Moreover, synthetic data generated using computer graphics are customized to simulate various situations that are not recorded in the Crimea dataset for the demonstration of the algorithm.

▼ Three Dimensional (3D) reconstruction relates to the creating of 3D computer models from sets of Two Dimensional (2D) images. 3D reconstruction algorithms tend to have long execution times, meaning they are ill suited to real time 3D reconstruction tasks. This is a significant limitation which this dissertation attempts to address. Modern Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) have become fully programmable and have spawned the field known as General Purpose GPU (GPGPU) processing. Using this technology it is possible to of- fload certain types of tasks from the Central Processing Unit (CPU) to the GPU. GPGPU processing is designed for problems that have data parallelism. This means that a particular task can be split into many smaller tasks that can run in parallel, the results of which and are not dependent upon the order in which the tasks are completed. Therefore to properly make use of both CPU parallelism and GPGPU processing a 3D reconstruction algorithm with data parallelism was required. The selected algorithm was the Patch-Based Multi-View Stereopsis (PMVS) method, proposed and implemented by Yasutaka Furukawa and Jean Ponce. This algorithm uses small oriented rectangular patches to model a surface and is broken into four major steps: Feature detection; feature matching, expansion and filtering. The reconstructed patches are independent and as such the algorithm is data parallel. Some segments of the PMVS algorithm were programmed for GPGPU and others for CPU parallelism. Results show that the feature detection stage runs 10 times faster on the GPU than the equivalent CPU implementation. The patch creation and expansion stages also benefited from GPU implementation. Which brought an improvement in the execution time of two times for large images, and equivalent execution times for small images, when compared to the CPU implementation. These results show that the use of GPGPU and CPU parallelism can indeed improve the performance of this 3D reconstruction algorithm. Advisors/Committee Members: Naidoo, Bashan.

▼ Collision between a droplet and a particle has a wide range of applications in chemical and petrochemical industries, polyethylene synthesis, and particle coating. Various studies in the literature indicate that the collision products are very different depending on the size and velocity of the particle and droplet, particle wettability and roughness, and physical properties of the liquid and the surrounding gas. The collision outcome is a liquid film (i.e. lamella) and the objective of this thesis is to identify various impact products in different conditions and to study how each category of the above mentioned parameters or a combination of them affect the lamella formation. Investigation of the droplet impact was divided into two parts: drop impact onto a still particle, and droplet impact onto a moving particle in mid-air. Contribution of this thesis to the field can be summarized as following. First, studying the impact phenomenon in a wider range of both Weber number (0.1<We<1146) and droplet-to-particle diameter ratio (1.4<Dr<5.0) compared to what already exists in the literature. Both experimental and numerical tools were developed and used to study the head-on impact between a droplet and a particle. Second, studying the effect of impact velocity, particle wettability, and the amount that each of these parameter contributes on collision outcomes. The required conditions for a lamella to be formed was also studied, and how the lamella geometry changes in case the impact velocity is changed, or hydrophilic/hydrophobic types of particles are used. Third, investigation of the effect of liquid viscosity on lamella formation; what the dynamics of the liquid is inside the film, and how the fluid field inside the lamella is affected by the viscosity changes. Fourth, identifying the role of ambient gas in lamella formation and how each of the drag and lift forces contribute in creating the liquid film. Fifth, developing a pneumatic droplet generator capable of producing single drops with various droplet sizes. The breakup phenomenon in the nozzle and droplet velocity upon pinch-off were also investigated in detail. Advisors/Committee Members: Amirfazli, Alidad (advisor).

▼ This thesis addresses the problem of capturing 3-d geometry and appearance from multiple 2-d images, which has wide applications in virtual reality, entertainment, human-computer interface, surveillance, navigation, and high-level vision tasks (e.g., visual tracking, classification, recognition, scene analysis for robotic task accomplishment), etc. This thesis presents an inverse ray tracing approach based on statistical inference. Instead of matching image features/pixels across images as most of the traditional approaches do, the inverse ray tracing approach models the image generation process directly and searches for the best 3-d geometry and surface reflectance model to explain all the observations. This approach can better handle difficult problems in multi-view stereo, including large camera baseline, occlusion, matching ambiguities, irregular concavities and convexities, etc., than traditional methods, without additional information and assumptions, such as initial surface estimates or simple background assumptions. Here the image generation process is modeled through volumetric ray tracing, where the occlusion/visibility is accurately modeled. All the constraints (including ray constraints and prior knowledge about the geometry) are put into the Ray Markov Random Field (Ray MRF) formulation. This MRF model is unusual in the sense that the ray clique, which models the ray-tracing process, consists of thousands of random variables instead of two to dozens as in typical MRFs. This large ray clique presents a major challenge to the inference algorithm, because of the combinatorial explosion of possible configurations. In this work an algorithm with linear computational complexity is developed to solve the estimation problem. More specifically, it is shown that a highly optimized belief propagation algorithm, deep belief propagation (DBP), can tackle the challenging problem effectively by exploring the recursive chain structure of the ray clique energy. Then the DBP algorithm is also extended to solve the inference problem for a broader class of higher-order MRFs. The algorithm developed is capable of handling general and complex scenes of large varieties, general camera configurations (both small and large baselines), and can generate accurate and photo-realistic 3-d models. The advantages of the proposed approach have been verified by extensive experiments on standard and locally collected challenging datasets.

▼ This research implements a digital fringe projection profilometry (DFPP) system that can acquire surface information of the 3-D object from multiple views, and also develops a program module that can register images from those views in the same coordinate system for 3D modeling. In this research, a Digital Fringe Projection Profilometry (DFPP) system is employed for data acquisition. The DFPP system employs phase shifting profilometry (PSP) for the phase extraction. The optical geometry of the system is established for the phase to 3-D coordinates of a point cloud with respect to the system coordinate system. The system parameters are estimated through the system calibration module, which works in accordance with the fringe projection and acquisition module, the fringe pattern analysis module and the registration module. These modules achieve the fringe pattern design and projection, fringe pattern capture, projector and camera cooperation, captured fringe analysis, phase map extraction and 3-D point cloud construction. The algorithm of registration proposed in this research is an enhancement of the conventional Iterative Closest Point (ICP) method with several extensions. The distance function for the correspondence finding is modified to be the weighted linear combination of positions and Euclidean invariant features for improving the probability of convergence. In addition, outliers can be discarded through robust statistics and an adaptive threshold of weighted distances between corresponding point pairs. The modifications aim to realize registration of a couple of partially overlapped point clouds, enhance the possibility of convergence and reduce the iteration times. This research evaluates the convergence behaviour and accuracy of the proposed registration method with Zhang’s conventional ICP method. In the ideal case, the proposed method was found to achieve the goals. The registration module in accordance with the existing fringe pattern projection and analysis module can align range images acquired from multiple views and thus integrate a 3-D model.

▼ Multisensor electro- and magnetoencephalographic (EEG and MEG) as well as electro- and magnetocardiographic (ECG and MCG) recordings have been proved useful in noninvasively extracting information on bioelectric excitation. The anatomy of the patient needs to be taken into account, when excitation sites are localized by solving the inverse problem. In this work, a methodology has been developed to construct patient specific boundary element models for bioelectromagnetic inverse problems from magnetic resonance (MR) data volumes as well as from two orthogonal X-ray projections. The process consists of three main steps: reconstruction of 3-D geometry, triangulation of reconstructed geometry, and registration of the model with a bioelectromagnetic measurement system. The 3-D geometry is reconstructed from MR data by matching a 3-D deformable boundary element template to images. The deformation is accomplished as an energy minimization process consisting of image and model based terms. The robustness of the matching is improved by multi-resolution and global-to-local approaches as well as using oriented distance maps. A boundary element template is also used when 3-D geometry is reconstructed from X-ray projections. The deformation is first accomplished in 2-D for the contours of simulated, built from the template, and real X-ray projections. The produced 2-D vector field is back-projected and interpolated on the 3-D template surface. A marching cube triangulation is computed for the reconstructed 3-D geometry. Thereafter, a non-iterative mesh-simplification method is applied. The method is based on the Voronoi-Delaunay duality on a 3-D surface with discrete distance measures. Finally, the triangulated surfaces are registered with a bioelectromagnetic measurement utilizing markers. More than fifty boundary element models have been successfully constructed from MR images using the methods developed in this work. A simulation demonstrated the feasibility of X-ray reconstruction; some practical problems of X-ray imaging need to be solved to begin tests with real data.

▼ The results presented in this dissertation represent the most detailed account of the bcc⇄fcc (β→α) transformation in a system that is non-ferrous. As such, it provides a benchmark against which the multitudinous studies on phase transformation in steels may be gauged. The primary focus of the experimental program has been on the development of intragranular microstructures, although grain boundary related transformations were also examined. The only fundamental intragranular precipitate shape that we encounter at low undercoolings was a Widmanstätten rod with a 〈111〉_β growth direction. The primary nucleation sites for these Widmanstätten rods are inclusions. The complex nature of the intragranular microstructures necessitated the development of a quick, reproducible method for assembling three-dimensional reconstructions from a sequence of serial sections that sample a large volume. The method developed used a laser in a novel way for providing fiduciary markers, and the use of freely accessible software permitted a straightforward method of generating the 3-D reconstruction. In terms of the intragranular bcc→fcc transformation, the results cover the spectrum of nucleation, growth, and coarsening and we have proposed a single mechanism that, at the very least, is operative in all three stages; that mechanism is sympathetic nucleation. For example, it has been found that following the initial inclusion nucleation event, the entire transformation proceeds via sympathetic nucleation of two particular types, facet-to-facet and end-to-end. Somewhat surprisingly, we are the first to recognize the equivalence of facet-to-facet sympathetic nucleation and the homogeneous nucleation of growth ledges. We may thus model both nucleation and growth in terms of a single mechanism. What is even more intriguing, we may exploit facet-to-facet and end-to-end sympathetic nucleation to propose a mechanism of precipitate coarsening, the replacement of fine distributions of small precipitates by a much coarser distribution of large precipitates. This coarsening reaction occurs as the sympathetically nucleated rod-like particles start to tile space, creating large (20-50µm wide) rod-like colonies from the initial (≃1µm wide) inclusion nucleated rods. Our research on sympathetic nucleation in this system has an impact outside the narrow confines of the nickel-aluminum bronze that we used as a model material. For the first time, sympathetic nucleation has been unambiguously identified. Even though Aaronson and Wells first proposed the existence of sympathetic nucleation over 50 years ago, the evidence presented in its favor was always suspect, there was always at least one counter-claim that could explain the observed experimental images; in terms of impingement, polygonization, and the proximity of grain boundaries. We have shown, unequivocally, that impingement cannot produce the microstructures that we developed. Likewise, polygonization is not a problem, and the large beta grain size that we employed in the early stages of the… Advisors/Committee Members: Paul Raymond Howell, Dissertation Advisor/Co-Advisor, Paul Raymond Howell, Committee Chair/Co-Chair, Richard Martukanitz, Committee Member, James Hansell Adair, Committee Member, Zi Kiu Liu, Committee Member.

▼ The first step on the way to understanding the complicated dynamics of spray is to study the behavior of isolated droplets. In many industrial and natural processes such as turbulent combustion, agricultural sprays, spray cooler, falling raindrops and cloud evolution the droplet is subjected to a chaotic unsteady external flow field. The interaction between the liquid and gaseous phases results in very intricate droplet dynamics like capillary instabilities, atomization, droplet collision and coalescence and vaporization, to name a few. In this dissertation, the focus is on shape oscillations, atomization and vaporization dynamics of pendant and sessile droplets. A droplet residing on a substrate which vibrates vertically at ultrasonic frequency will exhibit different modes of shape oscillation. The competition between capillary forces and inertia forces is basically responsible for these oscillations. However, when an acoustic force field is introduced asymmetrically around the droplet, we discover with the help of ultra high-speed imaging, a new droplet spreading phase. This new method of droplet manipulation could nd application in micro fluidics and lab-on-a-chip systems. By lading the droplet with nanoparticles, the spreading rate can be easily controlled. The spreading phase is followed by an atomization phase where surface ligaments grow to disintegrate into daughter droplets; the intensity of atomization is found to decrease with increase in fluid viscosity. The ability to control atomization characteristics of droplets by lading them with nanoparticles is a powerful technique that may be implemented in spray coolers and combustors to control the spray characteristics or combustion efficiency. Both the spreading and ligament dynamics have been theoretically simulated and the physics behind the observed trends is explained. The growth rate of the ligaments is found to be governed by Weber number modified to include the acoustic pressure level of the standing wave. The frequency of ligament breakup is found to decrease with fluid viscosity and this observation is adequately supported by a theory developed based on the evolution crater on the droplet surface. Turning now to the pendant droplets, by decomposing the droplet shape into Legendre modes, the shape oscillations exhibited by a droplet hanging from the junction of cross-wire placed at the center of an air jet is studied. Both high-speed imaging and hot-wire anemometry are employed. The driving force of oscillation of droplets subjected to the air jet is proved to be the inherent pressure fluctuations in the jet. The effect of surface tension, viscosity and Reynolds number on the shape oscillation level has been examined. The first experimental evidence of viscous attenuation of lower frequencies in a particular mode in glycerol/water mixture is reported. A theoretical model was developed to simulate the droplet shape oscillations induced by different ambient flow fields like pulsatile flow, vortical flow and flow with broadband energy spectrum. The time… Advisors/Committee Members: Basu, Saptarshi (advisor).

▼ It remains a challenging procedure to remove deep brain tumor due to its location around critical brain structures, the limitations in existing surgical tools, and the lack of real-time image guidance. The Minimally Invasive Neurosurgical Intracranial Robot (MINIR-II) project aims at combining flexible robotic technology, minimally invasive approach, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to achieve more precise and complete removal of brain tumor. MINIR-II is a spring-based 3-D printed flexible robot that is tendon-driven and equipped with electrocautery, suction and irrigation capabilities. A novel central tendon routing mechanism has been employed to enable independent segment control in a tight workspace. To improve stability of the surgical procedure, a stiffness tunable MINIR-II with shape memory alloy (SMA) spring segments has also been developed and characterized to investigate the effect of tendon locking and SMA segment stiffening on the stiffness of individual segment. SMA springs have also been used as a proof of-concept MRI-compatible actuator for MINIR-II. To improve the actuation bandwidth, cooling module-integrated SMA springs have been developed together with a new actuation mechanism involving the alternate passage of water and compressed air. A phenomenological model and a heat transfer model were developed and verified to model the actuator behavior in antagonistic configuration. With the robot developed and tested for its performance and MRI-compatibility, ultrasonic motors were used instead of SMA springs to provide a more reliable actuation solution. A remote actuation strategy with three different transmission designs was implemented due to the interference of ultrasonic motors and drivers with the MR image quality when they are in close proximity to the MR isocenter. The inefficiency in force transmission in the first flexible Bowden cable transmission led to the development of the second rigid transmission as well as the third improved version of the rigid transmission. The robotic system was finally evaluated in terms of its workspace, segment coupling effectiveness, precision, repeatability, and hysteresis behavior. A compact MRI compatible robotic system used to actuate a multi-DoF skull-mounted flexible robot has been presented. Research innovation could be found in the 3-D printed flexible robot design, compact SMA spring cooling module development, stiffness modulated robot design, and transmission design in the MR environment. Intrinsic sensor integration and more user-friendly control interface are two important future works that would take the robotic system one step closer to being clinically evaluated.

▼ The Kinect v2 is a RGB-D sensor manufactured as a gesture interaction tool for the entertainment console XBOX One. In this thesis we will use it to perform 3D reconstruction and investigate its ability to measure depth. In order to sense both color and depth the Kinect v2 has two cameras: one RGB camera and one infrared camera used to produce depth and near infrared images. These cameras need to be calibrated if we want to use them for 3D reconstruction. We present a calibration procedure for simultaneously calibrating the cameras and extracting their relative pose. This enables us to construct colored meshes of the environment. When we know the camera parameters of the infrared camera, the depth images could be used to perform the Kinectfusion algorithm. This produces well-formed meshes of the environment by combining many depth frames taken from several camera poses.The Kinect v2 uses a time-of-flight technology were the phase shifts are extracted from amplitude modulated infrared light signals produced by an emitter. The extracted phase shifts are then converted to depth values. However, the extraction of phase shifts includes a phase unwrapping procedure, which is sensitive to noise and can result in large depth errors.By utilizing the ability to access the raw phase measurements from the device we managed to modify the phase unwrapping procedure. This new procedure includes an extraction of several hypotheses for the unwrapped phase and a spatial propagation to select amongst them. This proposed method has been compared with the available drivers in the open source library libfreenect2 and the Microsoft Kinect SDK v2. Our experiments show that the depth images of the two available drivers have similar quality and our proposed method improves over libfreenect2. The calculations in the proposed method are more expensive than those in libfreenect2 but it still runs at 2.5× real time. However, contrary to libfreenect2 the proposed method lacks a filter that removes outliers from the depth images. It turned out that this is an important feature when performing Kinect fusion and future work should thus be focused on adding an outlier filter.

▼ ABSTRACT: Formation of organ shape is an intriguing yet largely unanswered question in developmental biology. Shapes arise as a result of tightly controlled spatial variation in the rates and directions of tissue expansion over the course of development; therefore, quantifying these growth patterns could provide information about the underlying mechanisms of morphogenesis. Here we present a novel technique and computational tools for quantifying growth and shape changes in developing leaves, with a few unique capabilities. This includes the ability to compute growth from three-dimensional (3D) coordinates, which makes this the first method suitable for studying leaf growth in species or mutants with non-flat leaves, as well as small leaves at early stages of development, and allows us to simultaneously capture 3D shape changes. In the following, we apply these methods to study growth and shape changes in the first rosette leaf of Arabidopsis thaliana. Results reveal clear spatiotemporal patterns in growth rates and directionality, and tissue deformation maps illustrate an intricate balance involved in maintaining a relatively flat leaf surface in wild type leaves. Semi-automated tools presented make a high throughput of data possible with this method, and algorithms for generating mean maps of growth will make it possible to perform standardized comparative analyses of growth patterns between wild type and mutants and/or between species. The methods presented in this thesis will therefore be useful for studying leaf growth and shape, to further investigate the mechanisms of morphogenesis. RÉSUMÉ: Comment un organe acquiert sa forme particulière au cours du développement est une question intéressante mais largement non résolue. La forme d’un organe résulte de la façon dont les taux et directions de croissance de ses tissues varient dans l’espace et dans le temps. Quantifier les motifs de croissance est donc nécessaire pout élucider les mécanismes sous-jacents de la morphogenèse. Nous présentons ici une nouvelle méthodologie pour quantifier la croissance et les changements de forme dans les feuilles en développement. Cette méthodologie s’appuie sur le développement de nouvelles techniques expérimentales et de programmes informatiques, et présente des avantages uniques : la croissance de la surface des feuilles et le changement de forme peuvent être analysés en trois dimensions (3D), pour une longue période et de large déformations. De plus l’analyse de multiples échantillons permet de générer une cartographie moyenne des motifs de croissance à la surface des feuilles au cours de leur développement, ainsi qu’une description quantitative de la déformation des tissus sous l’effet de leur croissance. Dans cette thèse, nous présentons les résultats de croissance et de changements de forme de la première feuille de rosette d'Arabidopsis thaliana au cours de son développement. Les cartes moyennes de croissance révèlent des motifs spatio-temporels évidents tant pour les taux que pour les directions de croissance. De plus,…

▼ In the game Hydrotilt, the player controls a water droplet that consists of metaballs. This droplet does not have all the physical abilities of a water droplet in the game. For a newer version of Hydrotilt meant to run on mobile phones, Codeglue seeks for a realistic water droplet simulation using metaballs. Earlier researches of water droplet simulation used high computational resources device. Mobile phones on the other hand are low resources devices. Therefore, in the scope of this thesis we implemented in an experiment set-up a simulation of water droplets using metaballs for mobile phones. In this implementation, you have two kinds of water droplets. The first one is a static water droplet that waits until it is close enough to another droplet for merging. The other kind of droplet is a moving water droplet. This droplet moves according to the tilt of the mobile phone just like in the game Hydrotilt. Furthermore, metaballs need another algorithm to be able to generate the surface. In our implementation, two algorithms were used for that: octree and marching cube algorithm. Octree is slower than the marching cube algorithm, but needs less memory which is one of the low resources on mobile phones. In the simulation of the water droplet, the moving water droplet will change its shape while moving from a sphere-like shape to a water droplet like shape. Next to this, there are two techniques implemented to calculate the movement of the droplet. The first one is a following one that behaves like a spring and the second one is an interpolation of the movement. Testing of the experiment set-up showed that the simulation runs successfully on mobile phones. Furthermore, the testing also showed that there is a tradeoff between visual graphics of the water droplets and the performance. Better visual graphics (for example through high resolution) results in lower performance and for high performance the visually of the droplet needs to be reduced.

Cette thèse, consacrée à la mesure endoscopique de formes tridimensionnelle, se place dans un double contexte applicatif : tout d'abord industriel, avec l'inspection endoscopique de pièces mécaniques en milieu contraint (notamment tubulaire) à des résolutions micrométriques. Le second contexte est médical avec la détection de formes tridimensionnelle lors de coloscopies pour l'aide au diagnostic. L'endoscopie souple est obtenue par l'utilisation de guides optiques, la méthode de mesure tridimensionnelle est basée sur la stéréovision active avec la génération de lumière structurée par une matrice de micro-miroirs. Après avoir établi l'état de l'art, une méthode de conception et d'évaluation optique appliquée à la stéréovision en endoscopie souple est décrite. C'est ensuite la réalisation instrumentale, son évaluation métrologique, et une méthode innovante de basculement de modes dynamique entre stéréovision active et passive qui sont détaillées. Des méthodes algorithmiques de reconstruction tridimensionnelle adaptées à ce type d'instrument sont enfin proposées. Les contributions scientifiques de cette étude sont multiples. Une méthode d'analyse optique basée sur l'utilisation de fonctions de transfert de modulation pour la conception d'un endoscope mesurant par stéréovision est proposée. Des méthodes de traitement d'image pour un étalonnage robuste malgré une défocalisation optique ainsi qu'un nouvel algorithme à décalage de phase constituent également des contributions de l'étude. L'association de ces méthodes a permis d'extraire un principe de réalisation permettant la mesure tridimensionnelle par endoscopie souple.

This thesis aims at developing a tri-dimensional measurement endoscopic device in a double context: the first one is industrial with endoscopic inspection of mechanical pieces (tubular inspection, for example) at micrometric resolution. The second context is medical with tri-dimensional shape detection during colonoscopy to help the surgeon diagnosis. In this study, flexible endoscopy is made possible by using image guides and the tri-dimensional reconstruction method is based on active stereovision where a digital micro-mirror device is used to spatially structure the incoming light. After developing the state of the art, an optical conception and evaluation method, applied to stereovision for flexible endoscopic devices is described. The instrumental realization is then detailed and metrologically evaluated. An innovative method that allows to switch dynamically between active and passive stereovision is then detailed. Finally, 3D reconstruction algorithms adapted to this endoscopic instrument are proposed. The scientific contributions of this study are multiple. Firstly, an optical analysis method based on the modulation transfer function to design an endoscopic stereovision system is proposed. An image processing method for robust calibration in a defocused optical environment and a new phase-shifting algorithm for 3D reconstruction are proposed. Finally, a realization principle for 3D measurement…

La cartographie de systèmes racinaires dans des sols dispersifs et inhomogènes est mise en œuvre au moyen d’une technique non-destructive : le radar à pénétration de sol (dit GPR). Ce travail est motivé par les besoins croissants en termes de contrôle de santé et de stabilité des arbres, ainsi que l’impact négatif des racines sur les infrastructures urbaines pouvant parfois compromettre la sécurité des personnes et des biens. Un état de l'art a permis de déterminer les facteurs limitant la détection et la résolution des racines ligneuses (diamètre > 0,5 cm) par GPR. Puis l'accent est mis sur une nouvelle procédure de traitement pour reconstruire les architectures 3-D des racines à partir de données GPR sans information a priori sur les sols impliqués. La viabilité de la méthode proposée est étudiée à partir de simulations numériques (via gprMax) pour des modèles de racines réalistes en environnements hétérogènes dispersifs; cela implique un nombre de configurations pour une variété de sols. Des mesures contrôlées en laboratoire sont conduites sur des prototypes de racines en utilisant un système bi-statique dans la gamme fréquentielle 300 MHz – 3,3 GHz. Ceci est étendu à des études terrain de systèmes racinaires d’arbres réels avec l'utilisation d'un GPR commercial (MALA). Les bonnes performances et la pertinence de l'approche proposée sont illustrées par de multiples exemples.

The mapping of tree root systems within inhomogeneous dispersive subsoils is investigated by means of a non-destructive technique: Ground-Penetrating Radar (GPR). This work is motivated by the growing need for tree health and stability control, as well as the negative impact of roots on urban infrastructure, which could seriously compromise the safety of people and properties. A state of the art has allowed us to determine the limiting factors of coarse root (diameter > 0.5 cm) detection and resolution by GPR. Then, the focus is put on a novel processing procedure to reconstruct 3-D root architectures from GPR data with no a priori information on the soils involved. Viability is studied from comprehensive numerical simulations (via gprMax) on realistic root models in 3-D heterogeneous dispersive environments; this in particular means a number of simulations involving a variety of soils. Controlled laboratory measurements are conducted on root prototypes using a bi-static GPR system operating at 300 MHz – 3.3 GHz frequency range. This is extended to field studies on real root systems with the use of a commercial GPR (MALA). The good performance and high potential of the proposed approach are illustrated accordingly.

▼ This thesis documents the development of a time-of-flight (ToF) camera suitable for autonomous mobile robotics applications. By measuring the round trip time of emitted light to and from objects in the scene, the system is capable of simultaneous full-field range imaging. This is achieved by projecting amplitude modulated continuous wave (AMCW) light onto the scene, and recording the reflection using an image sensor array with a high-speed shutter amplitude modulated at the same frequency (of the order of tens of MHz). The effect is to encode the phase delay of the reflected light as a change in pixel intensity, which is then interpreted as distance. A full field range imaging system has been constructed based on the PMD Technologies PMD19k image sensor, where the high-speed shuttering mechanism is builtin to the integrated circuit. This produces a system that is considerably more compact and power efficient than previous iterations that employed an image intensifier to provide sensor modulation. The new system has comparable performance to commercially available systems in terms of distance measurement precision and accuracy, but is much more flexible with regards to its operating parameters. All of the operating parameters, including the image integration time, sensor modulation phase offset and modulation frequency can be changed in realtime either manually or automatically through software. This highly configurable system serves as an excellent platform for research into novel range imaging techniques. One promising technique is the utilisation of measurements using multiple modulation frequencies in order to maximise precision over an extended operating range. Each measurement gives an independent estimate of the distance with limited range depending on the modulation frequency. These are combined to give a measurement with extended maximum range using a novel algorithm based on the New Chinese Remainder Theorem. A theoretical model for the measurement precision and accuracy of the new algorithm is presented and verified with experimental results. All distance image processing is performed on a per-pixel basis in real-time using a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). An efficient hardware implementation of the phase determination algorithm for calculating distance is investigated. The limiting resource for such an implementation is random access memory (RAM), and a detailed analysis of the trade-off between this resource and measurement precision is also presented.
