![]() | An Optimal Global Method for Classification of Color Pixels Auteur(s) : Nagau, Jimmy Henry, Jean-Luc Auteurs secondaires : Laboratoire de Mathématiques Informatique et Applications (LAMIA) ; Université des Antilles et de la Guyane (UAG) SIGNAL-IMAGE-COMMUNICATION (SIC) ; Université de Poitiers - Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) Éditeur(s) : HAL CCSD Résumé : International audience We propose in this article a color image segmentation technique based on an optimization of the Mean Shift method. It consists in classifying clusters of data points of a digital image, it does not require any preliminary designation of the number of classes and of their centers. The Mean Shift method applied to a digital color image creates a new image made up of aggregates of points belonging to a finished number of color classes. The complexity of this method based on a global approach of the image is in O(NxN), N being the number of pixels of the image. Our idea consists in applying a change of scale to the image to be segmented, to reduce the quantity of information and, in using a median filter to decrease the number of colors to minimize the complexity of the latter. The comparative study which we present shows that the optimization which we proposed gives better, reliable results than the classic use of the Mean Shift method.

![]() | Breeding to develop a purple sweetpotato for the Virgin Islands ; Multiplication pour développer un sweetpotato pourpre pour les îles vierges Auteur(s) : Zimmerman, Thoma w. Année de publication : Loading the player... Éditeur(s) : Université des Antilles. Service commun de la documentation University of Virgin Islands, USA Extrait de : 52e congrès annuel de la Société caribéenne des plantes alimentaires / 52nd annual meeting of the Caribbean food crops society (CFCS), du 10 au 16 juillet 2016. INRA, CFCS Description : Limited work has focused on the nutritionally beneficial purple-fleshed sweetpotato in the Caribbean. Purple-fleshed sweetpotatoes are an excellent source of bioflavonoids and antioxidants. Cultivars of purple-fleshed sweetpotato are common in Asia but seldom grown in the west. These Asian cultivars set tuberous roots along the stem length where they root. The objective of this work was to introgress the purple-fleshed characteristic into highly productive early bearing (90-105 days) lines. The purple-fleshed line 'VIP' was used in reciprocal crosses with ?Bonita?, ?Liberty?, ?Mojave? and ?Ruddy?. From hand pollination of these hexaploid plants, 179 seedlings were obtained with a skin color ranging from white to deep burgundy. After the first field trial, 60 were selected for further evaluation based on early tuberous root shape and set, weevil tolerance and soluble sugar content. Continued evaluation will reduce selection down to 20 which further scrutiny to narrow selection to the top five. Le travail limité s'est concentré sur le sweetpotato pourpre-étoffé nutritionnellement salutaire dans les Caraïbe. Les sweetpotatoes Pourpre-étoffés sont une excellente source des bioflavonoïdes et des antioxydants. Les cultivateurs du sweetpotato pourpre-étoffé sont communs en Asie mais sont rarement développés dans l'ouest. Ces cultivateurs asiatiques placent les racines tubéreuses sur la longueur de tige où ils s'enracinent. L'objectif de ce travail était aux introgress que la caractéristique pourpre-étoffée dans la première incidence fortement productive (90-105 jours). La ligne pourpre-étoffée 'VIP' a été employée dans les croix réciproques avec « Bonita », « liberté », « Mojave » et « vermeil ». De la pollinisation de main de ces usines hexaploïdes, 179 jeunes plantes ont été obtenues avec une couleur de la peau s'étendant de blanc à Bourgogne profond. Après le premier essai pratique, 60 ont été sélectionnés pour davantage d'évaluation basée sur la forme tôt et l'ensemble de racine tubéreuse, la tolérance de charançon et le contenu soluble de sucre. L'évaluation continue ramènera la sélection pour avaler à 20 qui promeuvent l'examen minutieux pour rétrécir la sélection aux cinq principaux.

![]() | On the influence of dissolved organic-matter on remote-sensing of chlorophyll in the straits of skagerrak and kattegat Auteur(s) : Karabashev, Gs Éditeur(s) : Gauthier-Villars Résumé : An experimental techniques to estimate the influence of dissolved organic matter (DOM) on remote sensing of chlorophyll in water has been developed, based on the relationship between fluorescence and absorption of light by a substance. The profiles of fluorescence, chlorophyll content in sea water and estimates of light attenuation in water samples were used in the paper. These data have permitted to calculate the regressions linking fluorescence and light absorption at 450 nm by chlorophyll (ABC450) and by DOM (ABD450). The remote sensing needs no correction for DOM if M450 = 100* (ABC450/ABD450) much greater than 100. This technique has been applied to data collected during the international Skagex field experiment in the straits of Skagerrak and Kattegat in spring and autumn of 1990. It was found that M450 <= 100 everywhere in the subsurface layer. Unfavorable conditions for remote sensing of chlorophyll prevailed in the straits because of the uptake of DOM-rich water from the continent and the accumulation of phytoplankton in deeper layers. These and another processes can increase relative content of colored DOM even in waters of open ocean.

![]() | Phénomène des branchies orange dans les élevages de crevettes en Nouvelle-Calédonie Auteur(s) : Lemonnier, Hugues Barri, Kiam Pham, Dominique Wabete, Nelly Boulo, Viviane Lignot, Jean-herve Royer, Florence Hubert, Morgane Éditeur(s) : Journées du département Ressources Biologiques et Environnement Résumé : L'aquaculture est une activité importante du paysage économique de la Nouvelle-Calédonie., La crevette Bleue du Pacifique, Litopenaeus stylirostris est aujourd’hui l’espèce cible, élevée en semi-intensif, dans des bassins de terre de 4 à 10 hectares. Une coloration orange prononcée au niveau des branchies, comparable à celle observée suite à un stress hypoxique alors qu’aucun déficit en oxygène n’est constaté, est apparue récemment engendrant une décote du produit à la vente et donc un risque économique supplémentaire pour cette filière déjà fragilisée par des mortalités à vibrioses. Le phénomène se déclare à un poids moyen des animaux compris entre 10 et 18 g pour une durée moyenne d’élevage de 70 jours. L'intensité de la couleur évolue avec le stade de mue, les animaux au stade de pré-mue étant les plus touchés. Cette coloration disparaît avec la mue pour réapparaître au cycle suivant. Différentes techniques ont montré qu'elle était due à un dépôt d'oxyde de fer à la surface des tissus. Une micro-analyse par MEB montre un taux de fer dissous jusqu’à dix fois supérieur dans les branchies orange par rapport aux branchies non colorées ainsi qu'une répartition non homogène de ce métal. Par ailleurs une colonisation de cette surface branchiale par des bactéries est visible indiquant une implication potentielle de ces microorganismes dans le processus de précipitation du fer et donc dans l'apparition de cette coloration. De très fortes concentrations en fer dissous, jusqu'à 70 µM, ont été mesurées dans les eaux interstitielles des sédiments suggérant une origine environnementale à ce phénomène. Les prochains travaux devraient se focaliser sur (1) les conditions de milieu favorables à la production de fer dissous dans les sédiments, (2) les mécanismes impliqués dans sa précipitation à la surface des branchies et (3) les conséquences de ce dépôt sur la physiologie de l'animal.
