	Title	A polar-based logo representation based on topological and colour features			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2010	Publication	9th IAPR International Workshop on Document Analysis Systems	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages	341–348
	Keywords
	Abstract	In this paper, we propose a novel rotation and scale invariant method for colour logo retrieval and classification, which involves performing a simple colour segmentation and subsequently describing each of the resultant colour components based on a set of topological and colour features. A polar representation is used to represent the logo and the subsequent logo matching is based on Cyclic Dynamic Time Warping (CDTW). We also show how combining information about the global distribution of the logo components and their local neighbourhood using the Delaunay triangulation allows to improve the results. All experiments are performed on a dataset of 2500 instances of 100 colour logo images in different rotations and scales.

	Title	Toward the Detection of Urban Infrastructures Edge Shadows			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2010	Publication	12th International Conference on Advanced Concepts for Intelligent Vision Systems	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume	6474	Issue	I	Pages	30–37
	Keywords
	Abstract	In this paper, we propose a novel technique to detect the shadows cast by urban infrastructure, such as buildings, billboards, and traffic signs, using a sequence of images taken from a fixed camera. In our approach, we compute two different background models in parallel: one for the edges and one for the reflected light intensity. An algorithm is proposed to train the system to distinguish between moving edges in general and edges that belong to static objects, creating an edge background model. Then, during operation, a background intensity model allow us to separate between moving and static objects. Those edges included in the moving objects and those that belong to the edge background model are subtracted from the current image edges. The remaining edges are the ones cast by urban infrastructure. Our method is tested on a typical crossroad scene and the results show that the approach is sound and promising.

	Title	Dynamic Facial Expression Recognition Using Laplacian Eigenmaps-Based Manifold Learning			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2010	Publication	IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages	156–161
	Keywords
	Abstract	In this paper, we propose an integrated framework for tracking, modelling and recognition of facial expressions. The main contributions are: (i) a view- and texture independent scheme that exploits facial action parameters estimated by an appearance-based 3D face tracker; (ii) the complexity of the non-linear facial expression space is modelled through a manifold, whose structure is learned using Laplacian Eigenmaps. The projected facial expressions are afterwards recognized based on Nearest Neighbor classifier; (iii) with the proposed approach, we developed an application for an AIBO robot, in which it mirrors the perceived facial expression.

	Title	Real-time Object Segmentation using a Bag of Features Approach			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2010	Publication	13th International Conference of the Catalan Association for Artificial Intelligence	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume	220	Issue		Pages	321–329
	Keywords	Object Segmentation; Bag Of Features; Feature Quantization; Densely sampled descriptors
	Abstract	In this paper, we propose an object segmentation framework, based on the popular bag of features (BoF), which can process several images per second while achieving a good segmentation accuracy assigning an object category to every pixel of the image. We propose an efficient color descriptor to complement the information obtained by a typical gradient-based local descriptor. Results show that color proves to be a useful cue to increase the segmentation accuracy, specially in large homogeneous regions. Then, we extend the Hierarchical K-Means codebook using the recently proposed Vector of Locally Aggregated Descriptors method. Finally, we show that the BoF method can be easily parallelized since it is applied locally, thus the time necessary to process an image is further reduced. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated in the standard PASCAL 2007 Segmentation Challenge object segmentation dataset.

	Title	Towards a general model of colour categorization which considers context			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2010	Publication	Perception. ECVP Abstract Supplement	Abbreviated Journal	PER
	Volume	39	Issue		Pages	86
	Keywords
	Abstract	In two previous experiments [Parraga et al, 2009 J. of Im. Sci. and Tech 53(3) 031106; Benavente et al,2009 Perception 38 ECVP Supplement, 36] the boundaries of basic colour categories were measured. In the ﬁrst experiment, samples were presented in isolation (ie on a dark background) and boundaries were measured using a yes/no paradigm. In the second, subjects adjusted the chromaticity of a sample presented on a random Mondrian background to ﬁnd the boundary between pairs of adjacent colours. Results from these experiments showed signiﬁcant dierences but it was not possible to conclude whether this discrepancy was due to the absence/presence of a colourful background or to the dierences in the paradigms used. In this work, we settle this question by repeating the ﬁrst experiment (ie samples presented on a dark background) using the second paradigm. A comparison of results shows that although boundary locations are very similar, boundaries measured in context are signiﬁcantly dierent(more diuse) than those measured in isolation (conﬁrmed by a Student’s t-test analysis on the subject’s answers statistical distributions). In addition, we completed the mapping of colour name space by measuring the boundaries between chromatic colours and the achromatic centre. With these results we completed our parametric fuzzy-sets model of colour naming space.

	Title	Endowing Canonical Geometries to Cardiac Structures			Type	Book Chapter
	Year	2010	Publication	Statistical Atlases And Computational Models Of The Heart	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume	6364	Issue		Pages	124-133
	Keywords
	Abstract	International conference on Cardiac electrophysiological simulation challenge In this paper, we show that canonical (shape-based) geometries can be endowed to cardiac structures using tubular coordinates defined over their medial axis. We give an analytic formulation of these geometries by means of B-Splines. Since B-Splines present vector space structure PCA can be applied to their control points and statistical models relating boundaries and the interior of the anatomical structures can be derived. We demonstrate the applicability in two cardiac structures, the 3D Left Ventricular volume, and the 2D Left-Right ventricle set in 2D Short Axis view.

	Title	Touching Text Character Localization in Graphical Documents using SIFT			Type	Book Chapter
	Year	2010	Publication	Graphics Recognition. Achievements, Challenges, and Evolution. 8th International Workshop, GREC 2009. Selected Papers	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume	6020	Issue		Pages	199-211
	Keywords	Support Vector Machine; Text Component; Graphical Line; Document Image; Scale Invariant Feature Transform
	Abstract	Interpretation of graphical document images is a challenging task as it requires proper understanding of text/graphics symbols present in such documents. Difficulties arise in graphical document recognition when text and symbol overlapped/touched. Intersection of text and symbols with graphical lines and curves occur frequently in graphical documents and hence separation of such symbols is very difficult. Several pattern recognition and classification techniques exist to recognize isolated text/symbol. But, the touching/overlapping text and symbol recognition has not yet been dealt successfully. An interesting technique, Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT), originally devised for object recognition can take care of overlapping problems. Even if SIFT features have emerged as a very powerful object descriptors, their employment in graphical documents context has not been investigated much. In this paper we present the adaptation of the SIFT approach in the context of text character localization (spotting) in graphical documents. We evaluate the applicability of this technique in such documents and discuss the scope of improvement by combining some state-of-the-art approaches.

	Title	Aligning Endoluminal Scene Sequences in Wireless Capsule Endoscopy			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2010	Publication	IEEE Computer Society Workshop on Mathematical Methods in Biomedical Image Analysis	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages	117–124
	Keywords
	Abstract	Intestinal motility analysis is an important examination in detection of various intestinal malfunctions. One of the big challenges of automatic motility analysis is how to compare sequence of images and extract dynamic paterns taking into account the high deformability of the intestine wall as well as the capsule motion. From clinical point of view the ability to align endoluminal scene sequences will help to find regions of similar intestinal activity and in this way will provide a valuable information on intestinal motility problems. This work, for first time, addresses the problem of aligning endoluminal sequences taking into account motion and structure of the intestine. To describe motility in the sequence, we propose different descriptors based on the Sift Flow algorithm, namely: (1) Histograms of Sift Flow Directions to describe the flow course, (2) Sift Descriptors to represent image intestine structure and (3) Sift Flow Magnitude to quantify intestine deformation. We show that the merge of all three descriptors provides robust information on sequence description in terms of motility. Moreover, we develop a novel methodology to rank the intestinal sequences based on the expert feedback about relevance of the results. The experimental results show that the selected descriptors are useful in the alignment and similarity description and the proposed method allows the analysis of the WCE.

	Title	Intestinal Motility Assessment With Video Capsule Endoscopy: Automatic Annotation of Phasic Intestinal Contractions			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2010	Publication	IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging	Abbreviated Journal	TMI
	Volume	29	Issue	2	Pages	246-259
	Keywords
	Abstract	Intestinal motility assessment with video capsule endoscopy arises as a novel and challenging clinical fieldwork. This technique is based on the analysis of the patterns of intestinal contractions shown in a video provided by an ingestible capsule with a wireless micro-camera. The manual labeling of all the motility events requires large amount of time for offline screening in search of findings with low prevalence, which turns this procedure currently unpractical. In this paper, we propose a machine learning system to automatically detect the phasic intestinal contractions in video capsule endoscopy, driving a useful but not feasible clinical routine into a feasible clinical procedure. Our proposal is based on a sequential design which involves the analysis of textural, color, and blob features together with SVM classifiers. Our approach tackles the reduction of the imbalance rate of data and allows the inclusion of domain knowledge as new stages in the cascade. We present a detailed analysis, both in a quantitative and a qualitative way, by providing several measures of performance and the assessment study of interobserver variability. Our system performs at 70% of sensitivity for individual detection, whilst obtaining equivalent patterns to those of the experts for density of contractions.

	Title	Real-time gating of IVUS sequences based on motion blur analysis: Method and quantitative validation			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2010	Publication	13th international conference on Medical image computing and computer-assisted intervention	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume	II	Issue		Pages	59-67
	Keywords
	Abstract	Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) is an image-guiding technique for cardiovascular diagnostic, providing cross-sectional images of vessels. During the acquisition, the catheter is pulled back (pullback) at a constant speed in order to acquire spatially subsequent images of the artery. However, during this procedure, the heart twist produces a swinging fluctuation of the probe position along the vessel axis. In this paper we propose a real-time gating algorithm based on the analysis of motion blur variations during the IVUS sequence. Quantitative tests performed on an in-vitro ground truth data base shown that our method is superior to state of the art algorithms both in computational speed and accuracy.

	Title	Weighted Bagging for Graph based One-Class Classifiers			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2010	Publication	9th International Workshop on Multiple Classifier Systems	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume	5997	Issue		Pages	1-10
	Keywords
	Abstract	Most conventional learning algorithms require both positive and negative training data for achieving accurate classification results. However, the problem of learning classifiers from only positive data arises in many applications where negative data are too costly, difficult to obtain, or not available at all. Minimum Spanning Tree Class Descriptor (MSTCD) was presented as a method that achieves better accuracies than other one-class classifiers in high dimensional data. However, the presence of outliers in the target class severely harms the performance of this classifier. In this paper we propose two bagging strategies for MSTCD that reduce the influence of outliers in training data. We show the improved performance on both real and artificially contaminated data.

	Title	An Iterative Multiresolution Scheme for SFM with Missing Data: single and multiple object scenes			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2010	Publication	Image and Vision Computing	Abbreviated Journal	IMAVIS
	Volume	28	Issue	1	Pages	164-176
	Keywords
	Abstract	Most of the techniques proposed for tackling the Structure from Motion problem (SFM) cannot deal with high percentages of missing data in the matrix of trajectories. Furthermore, an additional problem should be faced up when working with multiple object scenes: the rank of the matrix of trajectories should be estimated. This paper presents an iterative multiresolution scheme for SFM with missing data to be used in both the single and multiple object cases. The proposed scheme aims at recovering missing entries in the original input matrix. The objective is to improve the results by applying a factorization technique to the partially or totally filled in matrix instead of to the original input one. Experimental results obtained with synthetic and real data sequences, containing single and multiple objects, are presented to show the viability of the proposed approach.
