    8ppWe describe the implementation of a 3D visual tracking al- gorithm on a cluster architecture.Parallelisation of the algorithm makes it possible to obtain real-time execution (more than 20 FPS) even with large state vectors, which has been proven diïŹƒcult on sequential architecture. Thanks to a user-friendly software development environment, this large gain in performance is not obtained at the price of programmability

    Effet des efflorescences d’Anabaena spp. sur la qualitĂ© organoleptique de la truite arc-en ciel (Onchorynchus mykiss)

    Une Ă©tude a Ă©tĂ© menĂ©e sur dix plans d’eau peu profonds et eutrophes, touchĂ©s rĂ©guliĂšrement par des efflorescences de cyanobactĂ©ries, et en particulier le genre Anabaena (A. spiroides et A flos-aquae). La recherche de composĂ©s odorants dans les truites prĂ©levĂ©es lors des efflorescences a permis de retrouver des concentrations significatives de gĂ©osmine (jusqu’à 850 ng‱kg‑1), composĂ© odorant lipophile connu pour ĂȘtre produit entre autres microorganismes par Anabaena spp.. Les analyses sensorielles ont permis de retenir des descripteurs de dĂ©fauts de goĂ»t de type « terreux-moisi », avec une intensitĂ© des dĂ©fauts de goĂ»t notĂ©e jusqu’à 8,3/10.L’étude en microcosme de la cinĂ©tique de fixation et de libĂ©ration de la gĂ©osmine dans des truites arc-en-ciel (Onchorynchus mykiss) de 250 g a permis de conclure que l’apparition de dĂ©fauts de goĂ»t significatifs dans la chair apparaĂźt aprĂšs seulement quelques heures d’exposition Ă  la gĂ©osmine. AprĂšs 30 h en prĂ©sence de gĂ©osmine, la mise en eau claire dans des conditions optimales de renouvellement permet une rĂ©duction significative des dĂ©fauts sensoriels au bout de quatre jours. Une corrĂ©lation significative a Ă©tĂ© retrouvĂ©e entre les densitĂ©s d’Anabaena spp. et les teneurs en gĂ©osmine retrouvĂ©es dans les truites pĂȘchĂ©es in situ (r2 = 0,74, p < 0,01).L’étude de la relation entre l’intensitĂ© sensorielle des dĂ©fauts dĂ©finie par les goĂ»teurs et les concentrations de gĂ©osmine retrouvĂ©es parallĂšlement dans les truites pĂȘchĂ©es in situ et celles contaminĂ©es artificiellement a permis de dĂ©finir un seuil sensoriel proche de 500 ng‱kg‑1. L’apparition de tels problĂšmes sur ces plans d’eau souvent dĂ©diĂ©s Ă  la pĂȘche de loisirs implique une gestion Ă©cologique de ces masses d’eau en amont de l’apparition des cyanobactĂ©ries.A study was conducted on ten small, eutrophic water bodies affected by cyanobacteria blooms. The genus Anabaena (A. spiroides and A. flos-aquae) is often implicated in the appearance of these blooms. The consequences of these blooms on the sensory quality of fish have been studied. Anabaena spp. produce geosmin, and this earthy-musty volatile compound is found in trout flesh with significant concentrations, up to 850 ng‱kg‑1. Trout are also tainted with the presence of a repulsive flavour (intensity of bad taste up to 8.3/10).A microcosm study of the kinetics of uptake and depuration of geosmin was conducted on rainbow trout (Onchorynchus mykiss). After an exposure of 6 h to geosmin, trout are significantly tainted with the appearance of significant concentrations of geosmin in the flesh and detection of repulsive flavour by taste. After an exposure of 30 h to geosmin, an open clear-water circulation system induces an elimination of the earthy-musty compound and a progressive reduction of off‑flavor intensity. The recovery of a good sensory evaluation for trout is obtained after more than four days.A significant correlation was found between Anabaena spp. density and geosmin concentrations in trout flesh (r2 = 0.74, p < 0.01). The sensory threshold of geosmin in trout by the panel of assessors is relatively low (500 ng‱kg‑1) for samples collected in situ and for trout exposed artificially to geosmin. The management of off-flavour problems in these fishing water bodies requires the use of preventive methods before the appearance of cyanobacteria

    Les travaux décrits dans ce manuscrit ont pour objectif la caractérisation des composés volatils responsables des qualités odorantes du saumon fumé ainsi que l évaluation des contaminants chimiques apportés par le fumage. L évaluation organoleptique a nécessité un développement méthodologique de caractérisation simultanée de l odeur globale et des composés volatils odorants du saumon fumé. L odeur globale a ainsi été évaluée par analyse sensorielle et la caractérisation des composés volatils odorants a nécessité la mise au point d une méthode d extraction quantitative et représentative de l arÎme de saumon fumé et d une méthode d analyse par chromatographie en phase gazeuse couplée à l olfactométrie et la spectrométrie de masse. Cette double caractérisation a permis d identifier les principaux composés volatils odorants de l arÎme du saumon fumé et d en étudier l influence sur la perception odorante globale du saumon fumé. L évaluation sanitaire a nécessité un développement méthodologique pour la détermination des Hydrocarbures Aromatiques Polycycliques, contaminants du fumage, analysés par chromatographie en phase gazeuse couplée à la spectrométrie de masse en tandem. Les méthodes développées ont été validées par leurs capacités à discriminer des saumons fumés par quatre techniques de fumage industriel aboutissant à l obtention de produits aux qualités sensorielles, à des profils aromatiques et sanitaires différents.The works described in this manuscript aim to characterise the volatile compounds responsible for the odorant qualities of smoked salmon and to evaluate the chemical smoking contaminants occurence. The organoleptic evaluation required a methodological development of simultaneous characterisation of the overall odour and odorant volatile compounds of smoked salmon. Therefore overall odour was assessed by sensory analysis and the characterisation of odorant volatile compounds required the optimisation of a representative and quantitative extraction method of the smoked salmon aroma and an analysis method by gas chromatography coupled to olfactometry and mass spectrometry. This double characterisation allowed to identify the main odorant volatile compounds and to study their influence on the overall odorant perception of smoked salmon. The sanitary evaluation required a methodological development for the determination of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons, contaminants of smoking process, by means of gas chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry. The methods used were validated by their ability to discriminate smoked salmons processed by four industrial smoking techniques leading to products with differences for sensory qualities, aroma and PAH profiles.NANTES-BU Sciences (441092104) / SudocSudocFranceF

    A Parallel Implementation of a 3D Reconstruction Algorithm for Real-Time Vision

    International audienceArtificial vision requires of large amount of computing power, especially when operating on the fly on digital video streams. For these applications, real-time processing is needed to allow the system to interact with its environment, like in robotic applications or man/machine interfaces. Two braod classes of solutions have been used to solve the problem of balancing application needs and the constraints of the real-time processing: degrading algorithms or using dedicated hardware architecture like FPGA or GPU. These strategies were effective because of the specific properties of the images and the structure of the associated algorithms. However, the constant and fast progression of general purpose computers performance makes these specific solutions less and less interesting. Development time and cost now plead in favor of architectures based on standard components. During the last ten years, the use of these solutions increased with the generalization of clusters made up of off-the-shelf personal computers. But this type of solution has been rarely used in the context of complex vision applications operating on the fly. This paper evaluates this opportunity by proposing a cluster architecture dedicated to real-time vision applications. We describe the hardware architecture of such a solution – by justifying the technological choices carried out on the application requirements and the current state of the art – then the associated software architecture. The validity of the approach is shown with the description and performance evaluation of a real-time 3D reconstruction application
