In this dissertation I explore several topics in the field of gravitational wave astronomy. By means of introduction, I review the historical evolution of humanity's understanding of the mechanics of gravity, and the events which eventually led to the first ever detection of gravitational waves in 2015. The first half of the thesis is dedicated to ...
While geographic information systems typically use polygonal representations to map Earth's objects, most state-of-the-art methods produce maps by performing pixelwise classification of remote sensing images, then vectorizing the outputs. This paper studies if one can learn to directly output a vectorial semantic labeling of the image. We here cast...
En este trabajo se analizan las interrelaciones entre escala, esfuerzo digitalizador, dimensión fractal en los procesos de digitalización de diferentes tipos de línea de costa en siete sectores costeros diferentes. A partir de ortoimágenes con una resolución espacial de 0,5 metros, se digitalizaron 24 tramos costeros diferentes a cinco escalas dist...
This work is a contribution to the problem of detection of thin struc- tures, namely tubes, in a 2D or 3D image. We introduce a bimodal model for the case where the histogram of the image has two main modes. This model involves an energy functional depending on a function and a rie- mannian metric. One of the term of this energy is the anisotropic ...
In this paper we introduce a new mask imaging algorithm that is based on the source point integration method (or Abbe method). The method presented here distinguishes itself from existing methods by exploiting the through-focus imaging feature of the Extended Nijboer-Zernike (ENZ) theory of diffraction. An introduction to ENZ-theory and its applica...
