Abstract: In order to analyze an image, a search is made, for all the minima of the image, for the dynamic of these minima. When the dynamic of these minima is small it corresponds finally to noise. If this measured dynamic is large, the minimum is regarded as being representative of a sufficiently significant irregularity in the image signal.
Abstract: The electric connection between the control circuits (13,14) of a probe and the metallized faces (5,6) of the piezoelectric elements (2) of said probe is provided by metallizations (6,8) made on parts, support (1) or blade (4) in contact with said metallized faces. The mechanical and electric connection between said metallizations may be provided by a thin layer of conducting glue (19,20).
