TOPIC 1

IMAGE PROCESSING AND ANALYSIS

Key words:
acquisition, image processing and interpretation, quantitative imaging
Download the topic PDF file

Research priorities focus on following fields:

Pre-processing and fusion: registration, correction, calibration, restoration and image enhancement
Segmentation: retrieval of meaningful features in images
Measurements and validation: morphological and functional brain parameters, measurements in biology and cancerology, measurements in non-planar surfaces from multimodal images for geology and materials
Modelling: digital and probabilistic methods, inverse problems for MRI and 3D approaches
Pattern recognition: identification of brain or material structures, design of a numerical individualized atlas of cortical anatomical structures
Knowledge acquisition: software workbench to model and build on the knowledge and skills in image processing
   
The Teams
Image Processing and Analysis issues bring together research scientists with different skills in different fields (biologists, ceramic engineers, geologists, computer scientists, metallurgists, and signal processing specialists), i.e., a total full-time staff of roughly 30 people and 60 doctoral candidates.
   
Methods
The original working methods combine two approaches, i.e.,
Image processing relying on algorithms and numerical models that can retrieve meaningful features from the image to interpret and understand them
Artificial intelligence for a workshop integrating different skills and expertise to model and build on the accumulated experience from image processing
   
Achievements
Cancer cell identification and counting in cytology
Improvement and interpretation of anatomical, functional and metabolic medical images
