Probabilistic Methods for Object Description and Classification
No full textThis thesis extends the utility of probabilistic methods in two diverse domains: multimodal biometrics and machine inspection. The attraction for this approach is that it is easily understood by those using such a system; however the advantages extend beyond the ease of human utility. Probabilistic measures are ideal for combination since they are guaranteed to be within a fixed range and are generally well scaled. We describe the background to probabilistic techniques and critique common implementations used by practitioners. We then set out our novel probabilistic framework for classification and verification, discussing the various optimisations and placing this framework within a data fusion context. Our work on biometrics describes the complex system we have developed for collection of multimodal biometrics, including collection strategies, system components and the modalities employed. We further examine the performance of multimodal biometrics; particularly examining performance prediction, modality correlation and the use of imbalanced classifiers. We show the benefits from score fused multimodal biometrics, even in the imbalanced case and how the decidability index may be used for optimal weighting and performance prediction. In examining machine inspection we describe in detail the development of a complex system for the automated examination of ophthalmic contact lenses. We demonstrate the performance of this system and describe the benefits that complex image processing techniques and probabilistic methods can bring to this field. We conclude by drawing these two areas together, critically evaluating the work and describing further work that we feel is necessary in the field

Bazin Philippe : Les Coupes. Portrait d’une exploitation agricole + Bazin Philippe : Pour une photographie documentaire critique
No full textEn 1990, Philippe Bazin faisait une entrée fracassante dans le monde de l’édition photographique par un ouvrage intitulé Faces, introduit par l’un des plus beaux textes qu’ait écrit le regretté Bernard Lamarche-Vadel. On y voyait une série de 1985-86, constituée de visages d’enfants et de vieillards, cadrés très serré, comme autant de bombes qui vous explosaient à la figure ! Si le portrait a longtemps constitué l’essentiel de son champ photographique, Philippe Bazin s’est intéressé, dès le d..
From Benjamin to Bazin: Beyond the Image, the Aura of the Event
No full textWas Bazin directly inspired by Walter Benjamin’s “The Work of Art in the Age of Its Technological Reproducibility” in the elaboration of his uniquely influential theory of film? Did his ontologic conception of film as reproduction somehow spring out from the reading of Benjamin’s most famous writing?
Answering this question would be of strategic importance in acknowledging what should appear to be a quite obvious, if subterranean, Benjaminian lineage in the French cultural tradition, since Bazin seems to be the missing link in an otherwise recognizable critical constellation, which includes André Malraux, Jean-Luc Godard, Guy Debord, and Serge Daney. The debt these authors owe Benjamin, mainly uncredited, marks their own assumption of his idea of critique as appropriation, where the practice of citation goes without the use of quotation mark. As for Bazin, no evidence has been uncovered to date that he may have known the essay, but his elaboration of the theme of technological reproducibility shows so many points of convergence—as well as divergence—with Benjamin’s theory, that the doubt is inescapable. At any rate, the hypothesis is not implausible, since the “Artwork” essay was for a long while only available in French, published in 1936 by the Institute for Social Research in its journal, which at the time was issued in Paris. It was not until 1955 that a later German version of the essay (initially destined to appear in the Moscow-based journal Das Wort) was finally issued in Germany, while the first English translation did not come into being until 1968. So in fact for more than twenty years the corpus of reflections to which Benjamin had attributed the most decisive value, in programmatic terms, remained accessible only to Francophone readers. While certainly not intentional, this exclusively French destiny was also not entirely accidental on the part of Benjamin, as publication in French was quite an unusual choice for the Institute journal – an exception that can only be explained by the author’s explicit vow that the essay should chiefly address “the avant-garde of French intellectuals.
