A block diagram of the PACE method. The input Chest X-ray (CXR) is converted into an Enhanced CXR (ECXR) through different steps. (I) Fast and Adaptive Bidimensional Empirical Mode Decomposition (FABEMD) generates the bi-dimensional intrinsic mode functions (BIMFs) and a bidimensional residual image (BR), (II) the Homomorphic Filtering (HMF) block filters the BR to correct brightness inhomogeneities. Finally, (III) Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization (CLAHE) is applied on the reconstructed image (BIMFs + filtered BR) to improve the overall contrast and generate the ECXR.

Olivier Klein received his PhD in 1993 from the physics department of UCLA working on the microwave properties of superconductors, followed by a 2 years PostDoc at MIT on mesoscopic physics in semiconductor heterostructures and two-dimensional gases. At the end of 1995, he joined Henri Alloul at École Polytechnique to embark on a new project: the development of magnetic resonance force microscopy (MRFM). Its ambition is to add a spectroscopic signature to near field techniques. In 2000 he left Polytechnique to join a new team at CEA-SACLAY, to reorient his research towards nano-magnetism. The main idea was to convert the MRFM to ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) and apply it to the study of lithographed magnetic nanostructures. Since 2014 he is in SPINTEC at the CEA grenoble, where he leads a research group on insulatronic, with the ambition to use electrical insulator as spin conductors.

Albert Fert is Emeritus Professor at Université Paris-Sud and Scientific Director at the UMR CNRS/Thales laboratory he co-founded in 1995.
In 2007, Albert Fert and Peter Gruenberg received the Nobel Prize in Physics for their discovery of the Giant Magnetoresistance (GMR) in 1988. The GMR has led to important applications and, for example, has led to an increase of the capacity of information storage in the magnetic hard disks by a factor of about thousand. In addition, the discovery of GMR kicked off the development of a new type of electronics exploiting the spin of the electrons and called spintronic. Significant contributions to this development came from Fert’s team.
In the recent years, Albert Fert has been one of the pioneers of the research in the new field of the magnetic skyrmions. His research today is mainly on skyrmions and on spintronic phenomena exploiting topology and spin-orbit interactions in low dimension systems (from topological insulators to Rashba bi-dimensional electron gas).
