Offering the high spectral resolution of conventional Raman spectroscopy combined with reduced acquisition time, multiplex coherent anti-Stokes scattering (MCARS) microspectroscopy using sub-nanosecond laser pulses has been accepted as a mature and straightforward technology for label-free bioimaging. In recently published paper, Philippe Leproux associates have introduced combination MCARS ima...

A new methodology is proposed for the non-target protein analysis of samples from wastewater treatment plants (WWTP). Proteins captured using polymeric (polycaprolactonediol) probes placed along different sites a WWTP were extracted, digested and analyzed by LC-MS/MS. Selection Regions Interest (ROI) raw MS data allowed their storage with most relevant information present in samples. Applicatio...

A systematic approach is presented for fitting empirical expressions to da ta depending on two variables. The problem can also be described as the simultaneous fitting of a family of curves depending on a parameter . The proposed method reduces a surface fitting problem to t h a t of fitting a few functions of one variable each. First , t he surface is expressed in terms of these one-variable f...

Finding an implicit polynomial that fits a set of observations X is the goal of many researches in recent years. However, most existing algorithms assume the knowledge of the degree of the implicit polynomial that best represents the points. This paper presents two main contributions. First, a new distance measure between X and the implicit polynomial is defined. Second, this distance is used t...

The recent introduction of consumer depth cameras has opened the way to novel segmentation approaches exploiting depth data together with the color information. This paper proposes a region merging segmentation scheme that jointly exploits the two clues. Firstly a set of multi-dimensional vectors is built considering the 3D spatial position, the surface orientation and the color data associated...
