    Mission confiée

    Biomedical signals are usually characterized by the presence of peaks that provide direct or indirect information on the physiological and metabolic state. Usually, these pulse-shaped signals require preprocessing such as denoising and artifact removals. Further analysis and processing might be required in some specific situations to allow for the extraction of pertinent information from these signals. Despite the fact that the literature abounds with signal processing methods, there are still challenges that need to be overcome and further improvements can be achieved for processing pulse-shaped signals. In this context, a quantum-based signal processing method has been proposed in 1. This method called the semi‐classical signal analysis (SCSA) method decomposes the signal into a set of functions given by the squared eigenfunctions of the Schrödinger operator associated to its negative eigenvalues 1. Thus, and unlike traditional signal decomposition tools, the SCSA expresses the signal through a set of functions that are signal dependent, that is, these functions are not fixed and known in advance but are computed by solving the spectral problem of the Schrödinger operator whose potential is the signal to be analyzed. Accordingly, these eigenfunctions capture more details about the signal and its morphological variations 2. The SCSA has been successfully applied in many applications for signal representation, denoising, post‐processing, and feature extraction. For example, it has been used for arterial blood pressure waveform analysis in 3,4 and for magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) denoising 5, for MRS water suppression 6, and for MRS lipid suppression 7. It has been also used for feature extraction in epileptic seizure detection 8 and for the characterization of PPG signals and blood pressure signals for non-invasive estimation of central pressure and arterial stiffness respectively 9. Additionally, SCSA has been extended to the 2D case for image representation and denoising 11, and more recently for image contrast enhancement.

    Principales activités

    The objective of this research project is to study the mathematical properties of the SCSA and compare the approach qualitatively and quantitatively to state-of-the-art methods such as Wavelets and empirical model decomposition methods. A parallel between quantum and signal processing properties will be studied. Numerical properties of the algorithm will be analyzed, with a focus on the optimization of the current codes especially in 2D, which relies on an eigenvalues solver.
    In addition, the student will investigate the use of the 2D-SCSA for the characterization of CT scans intending to identify vulnerable carotid plaques for asymptomatic patients. The main advantage of this method is the inherent capacity of the SCSA to filter noisy data and increase the contrast of images at the same time 11. This creates a great interest in the method since it could be potentially used as a feature extraction method that can adapt to different noise levels or contrast conditions and as a pre-processing step for deep learning methods.

    For this project, we will have access to a large histopathological image collection as well as to a large amount of CT-scanner obtained with the collaboration of Dr. Jean-Michel Davaine, a vascular surgeon at AP-HP, CHU Pitié- Salpêtrière.
