This lecture presents the computer processing of confocal microscopic images acquired in vivo and in situ by a flexible mini-probe. After pre-processing to correct and quantify the image, the lecture focuses on two key problems: the automatic construction of image mosaics to increase the field of view while preserving or even increasing microscopic resolution, and the projection of semantic information by automatically matching any new image to those already assessed in an intelligent atlas. In particular, the lecture describes algorithms for constructing transform-invariant representations of images, and algorithms for finding similar images in a large image database.
This lecture is complemented by the following two seminars:
- "Les enjeux médicaux de l'endomicroscopie", Jean-Paul Galmiche (CHU de Nantes);
- From stars to cells, from research to business", Sacha Loiseau (Mauna Kea Technologies, Paris).
