Generalized inpainting method for hyperspectral image acquisition

K. Degraux, V. Cambareri, L. Jacques, B. Geelen, more

2015 IEEE International Conference on Image Processing (ICIP) > 315 - 319

2015 IEEE International Conference on Image Processing (ICIP)

A recently designed hyperspectral imaging device enables multiplexed acquisition of an entire data volume in a single snapshot thanks to monolithically-integrated spectral filters. Such an agile imaging technique comes at the cost of a reduced spatial resolution and the need for a demosaicing procedure on its interleaved data. In this work, we address both issues and propose an approach inspired by...

Nutritional composition and fatty acids profile in cocoa beans and chocolates with different geographical origin and processing conditions

M. Torres-Moreno, E. Torrescasana, J. Salas-Salvadó, C. Blanch

Food Chemistry > 2015 > 166 > Complete > 125-132

Nutritional composition and fatty acids (FA) profile were determined in cocoa and chocolates of different geographical origin and subject to different processing conditions. Cocoa butter was the major nutrient in cocoa beans and carbohydrates were the most important in chocolates. Cocoa composition and FA profile varied depending on geographical origin whilst in chocolates only carbohydrates and fat...

Morphology and growth of polarized tissues

C. Blanch-Mercader, J. Casademunt, J. F. Joanny

The European Physical Journal E > 2014 > 37 > 5 > 1-11

We study and classify the time-dependent morphologies of polarized tissues subject to anisotropic but spatially homogeneous growth. Extending previous studies, we model the tissue as a fluid, and discuss the interplay of the active stresses generated by the anisotropic cell division and three types of passive mechanical forces: viscous stresses, friction with the environment and tension at the tissue...

Influence of label information on dark chocolate acceptability

M. Torres-Moreno, A. Tarrega, E. Torrescasana, C. Blanch

Appetite > 2012 > 58 > 2 > 665-671

The aim of the present work was to study how the information on product labels influences consumer expectations and their acceptance and purchase intention of dark chocolate. Six samples of dark chocolate, varying in brand (premium and store brand) and in type of product (regular dark chocolate, single cocoa origin dark chocolate and high percentage of cocoa dark chocolate), were evaluated by 109...

Multi-OTR System for ATF2

A. Faus-Golfe, J. Alabau Gonzalvo, C. Blanch Gutierrez, D. McCormick, more

Physics Procedia > 2012 > 37 > Complete > 2072-2079

In this paper we describe the first measurements performed during fall of 2010 and the beginning of 2011. We discuss software development, realistic simulations and new hardware improvements of a Multi-Optical Transition Radiation System installed in the beam diagnostics section of the Extraction (EXT) line of ATF2, close to the Multi Wire Scanner System. 2D emittance measurements have been successfully...

Use of Crude Glycerol from Biodiesel Producers and Fatty Materials to Prepare Allyl Esters

M. Escribà, J. Eras, G. Villorbina, M. Balcells, more

Waste and Biomass Valorization > 2011 > 2 > 3 > 285-290

Vegetable oils and fats are important renewable raw materials for use by the biodiesel industry. One drawback of this industry is the large amounts of glycerol produced as a by-product. Consequently, crude glycerol is moving from a by-product to a residue. New industrial applications for this substance are required. A conversion of this by-product to allyl esters using various fatty materials in a...

Is it good to express uncertainty to a patient? Correlates and consequences for medical students in a standardized patient visit

Danielle C. Blanch, Judith A. Hall, Debra L. Roter, Richard M. Frankel

Patient Education and Counseling > 2009 > 76 > 3 > 300-306

To examine the consequences of expressions of uncertainty (EOUs) in medical student interactions, with a particular focus on the gender of the expressor.EOUs were identified in 147 videotaped interactions between third-year medical students and standardized patients enacting four medical scenarios. The encounters were also analyzed using the Roter Interaction Analysis System (RIAS). A subset of these...

2009 IEEE International Conference on Multimedia and Expo > 213 - 216

2009 IEEE International Conference on Multimedia and Expo (ICME)

The scalable video coding extends the H.264/AVC video coding standard by providing temporal, spatial and quality scalability. A set of new tools, such as key picture and inter-layer prediction are introduced in SVC to improve either rate-distortion performance or error resilience. This paper evaluates the impact of these tools on the performance of an optimized SVC decoder, in terms of rate, distortion,...

C. Blanch, Tong Gan, A. Dejonghe, B. Masschelein

2009 17th International Packet Video Workshop > 1 - 6

2009 17th International Packet Video Workshop (PV)

A major limitation for wireless video communication over portable devices is the limited energy supply. For this reason, an efficient energy usage becomes a critical issue. In this paper we focus on the energy minimization of the two main energy consumers at the device: video encoding and wireless communication tasks. For this purpose, we develop a cross-layer approach that explores the tradeoff between...

2009 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing > 1989 - 1992

ICASSP 2009 - 2009 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing

Achieving low energy consumption is one of the main challenges for wireless video transmission on battery-limited devices. Moreover, the bandwidth is scarce and must be shared efficiently among users. The focus in this paper is on the timely delivery of multiple delay-sensitive video flows over a distributed access wireless LAN with minimal energy cost. This is done taking into consideration the Enhanced...

Judith A. Hall, Danielle C. Blanch, Terrence G. Horgan, Nora A. Murphy, more

Motivation and Emotion > 2009 > 33 > 3 > 291-302

Across 11 experiments, motivation to be accurate on a test of interpersonal sensitivity was manipulated using five methods for increasing motivation (monetary incentive, ego motive, forewarning that accuracy would be tested, exhortation to try hard, and framing the interpersonal sensitivity test description to suggest that performance was gender relevant). Participants were then given an interpersonal...
