Defect segmentation for multi-illumination quality control systems

Pascal Fua, Engin Türetken, Siavash Arjomand Bigdeli, David Honzátko

Thanks to recent advancements in image processing and deep learning techniques, visual surface inspection in production lines has become an automated process as long as all the defects are visible in a single or a few images. However, it is often necessary ...

Leveraging Spatial and Photometric Context for Calibrated Non-Lambertian Photometric Stereo

Pascal Fua, Engin Türetken, David Honzátko

The problem of estimating a surface shape from its observed reflectance properties still remains a challenging task in computer vision. The presence of global illumination effects such as inter-reflections or cast shadows makes the task particularly diffic ...

Network Flow Integer Programming to Track Elliptical Cells in Time-Lapse Sequences

Pascal Fua, Engin Türetken, Xinchao Wang, Carlos Joaquin Becker

We propose a novel approach to automatically tracking elliptical cell populations in time-lapse image sequences. Given an initial segmentation, we account for partial occlusions and overlaps by generating an over-complete set of competing detection hypothe ...

Reconstructing Evolving Tree Structures in Time Lapse Sequences by Enforcing Time-Consistency

Pascal Fua, Jan Kybic, Raphael Sznitman, Engin Türetken, Przemyslaw Rafal Glowacki, Miguel Amável Dos Santos Pinheiro, Daniel Lebrecht, Agata Justyna Mosinska

We propose a novel approach to reconstructing curvilinear tree structures evolving over time, such as road networks in 2D aerial images or neural structures in 3D microscopy stacks acquired in vivo. To enforce temporal consistency, we simultaneously proces ...

Reconstructing Curvilinear Networks using Path Classifiers and Integer Programming

Pascal Fua, Engin Türetken, Fethallah Benmansour, Przemyslaw Rafal Glowacki

We propose a novel Bayesian approach to automated delineation of curvilinear structures that form complex and potentially loopy networks. By representing the image data as a graph of potential paths, we first show how to weight these paths using discrimina ...

Tracking Interacting Objects Using Intertwined Flows

Pascal Fua, François Fleuret, Engin Türetken, Xinchao Wang

In this paper, we show that tracking different kinds of interacting objects can be formulated as a network-flow Mixed Integer Program. This is made possible by tracking all objects simultaneously using intertwined flow variables and expressing the fact tha ...

Multiscale Centerline Detection

Pascal Fua, Vincent Lepetit, Engin Türetken, Amos Sironi

Finding the centerline and estimating the radius of linear structures is a critical first step in many applications, ranging from road delineation in 2D aerial images to modeling blood vessels, lung bronchi, and dendritic arbors in 3D biomedical image stac ...

Systems and methods for tracking interacting objects

Pascal Fua, François Fleuret, Engin Türetken, Xinchao Wang

Systems and methods for tracking interacting objects may acquire, with a sensor, and two or more images associated with two or more time instances. A processor may generate image data from the two or more images. The processor may apply an extended Probabi ...

On the Relevance of Sparsity for Image Classification

Pascal Fua, Vincent Lepetit, Germán González Serrano, Engin Türetken, Roberto Rigamonti, Matthew Brown, Fethallah Benmansour

In this paper we empirically analyze the importance of sparsifying representations for classification purposes. We focus on those obtained by convolving images with linear filters, which can be either hand designed or learned, and perform extensive experim ...

Tracking Interacting Objects Optimally Using Integer Programming

Pascal Fua, François Fleuret, Engin Türetken, Xinchao Wang

In this paper, we show that tracking different kinds of interacting objects can be formulated as a network-flow Mixed Integer Program. This is made possible by tracking all objects simultaneously and expressing the fact that one object can appear or disapp ...

Simultaneous Segmentation and Anatomical Labeling of the Cerebral Vasculature

Pascal Fua, Engin Türetken, David Robben

We present a novel algorithm for the simultaneous segmentation and anatomical labeling of the cerebral vasculature. The method first constructs an over-complete graph capturing the vasculature. It then selects and labels the subset of edges that most likel ...

Reconstructing Evolving Tree Structures in Time Lapse Sequences

Pascal Fua, Jan Kybic, Raphael Sznitman, Engin Türetken, Przemyslaw Rafal Glowacki, Miguel Amável Dos Santos Pinheiro, Daniel Lebrecht

We propose an approach to reconstructing tree structures that evolve over time in 2D images and 3D image stacks such as neuronal axons or plant branches. Instead of reconstructing structures in each image independently, we do so for all images simultaneous ...

Reconstructing Loopy Curvilinear Structures Using Integer Programming

Pascal Fua, Engin Türetken, Fethallah Benmansour

We propose a novel approach to automated delineation of linear structures that form complex and potentially loopy networks. This is in contrast to earlier approaches that usually assume a tree topology for the networks. At the heart of our method is an Int ...

Automated Reconstruction of Tree Structures using Path Classifiers and Mixed Integer Programming

Pascal Fua, Engin Türetken, Fethallah Benmansour

Although tracing linear structures in 2D images and 3D image stacks has received much attention over the years, full automation remains elusive. In this paper, we formulate the delineation problem as one of solving a Quadratic Mixed Integer Program (Q-MIP) ...

Multiple Object Tracking using K-Shortest Paths Optimization

Pascal Fua, Jérôme Berclaz, François Fleuret, Engin Türetken

Multi-object tracking can be achieved by detecting objects in individual frames and then linking detections across frames. Such an approach can be made very robust to the occasional detection failure: If an object is not detected in a frame but is in previ ...
