	Title	A Riemmanian approach to cardiac fiber architecture modelling			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2009	Publication	1st International Conference on Mathematical & Computational Biomedical Engineering	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages	59-62
	Keywords	cardiac fiber architecture; diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging; differential (Rie- mannian) geometry.
	Abstract	There is general consensus that myocardial fiber architecture should be modelled in order to fully understand the electromechanical properties of the Left Ventricle (LV). Diffusion Tensor magnetic resonance Imaging (DTI) is the reference image modality for rapid measurement of fiber orientations by means of the tensor principal eigenvectors. In this work, we present a mathematical framework for across subject comparison of the local geometry of the LV anatomy including the fiber architecture from the statistical analysis of DTI studies. We use concepts of differential geometry for defining a parametric domain suitable for statistical analysis of a low number of samples. We use Riemannian metrics to define a consistent computation of DTI principal eigenvector modes of variation. Our framework has been applied to build an atlas of the LV fiber architecture from 7 DTI normal canine hearts.

	Title	Structure-Preserving Smoothing of Biomedical Images			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2009	Publication	13th International Conference on Computer Analysis of Images and Patterns	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume	5702	Issue		Pages	427-434
	Keywords	non-linear smoothing; differential geometry; anatomical structures segmentation; cardiac magnetic resonance; computerized tomography.
	Abstract	Smoothing of biomedical images should preserve gray-level transitions between adjacent tissues, while restoring contours consistent with anatomical structures. Anisotropic diffusion operators are based on image appearance discontinuities (either local or contextual) and might fail at weak inter-tissue transitions. Meanwhile, the output of block-wise and morphological operations is prone to present a block structure due to the shape and size of the considered pixel neighborhood. In this contribution, we use differential geometry concepts to define a diffusion operator that restricts to image consistent level-sets. In this manner, the final state is a non-uniform intensity image presenting homogeneous inter-tissue transitions along anatomical structures, while smoothing intra-structure texture. Experiments on different types of medical images (magnetic resonance, computerized tomography) illustrate its benefit on a further process (such as segmentation) of images.

	Title	The effect of the distance in pedestrian detection			Type	Report
	Year	2009	Publication	CVC Technical Report	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume	149	Issue		Pages
	Keywords	Pedestrian Detection
	Abstract	Pedestrian accidents are one of the leading preventable causes of death. In order to reduce the number of accidents, in the last decade the pedestrian protection systems have been introduced, a special type of advanced driver assistance systems, in witch an on-board camera explores the road ahead for possible collisions with pedestrians in order to warn the driver or perform braking actions. As a result of the variability of the appearance, pose and size, pedestrian detection is a very challenging task. So many techniques, models and features have been proposed to solve the problem. As the appearance of pedestrians varies signicantly as a function of distance, a system based on multiple classiers specialized on diferent depths is likely to improve the overall performance with respect to a typical system based on a general detector. Accordingly, the main aim of this work is to explore the eect of the distance in pedestrian detection. We have evaluated three pedestrian detectors (HOG, HAAR and EOH) in two dierent databases (INRIA and Daimler09) for two dierent sizes (small and big). By a extensive set of experiments we answer to questions like which datasets and evaluation methods are the most adequate, which is the best method for each size of the pedestrians and why or how do the method optimum parameters vary with respect to the distance

	Title	Analysis and Multi-Modal Fusion of coronary Images			Type	Book Whole
	Year	2009	Publication	PhD Thesis, Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona-CVC	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages
	Keywords
	Abstract	The framework of this thesis is to study in detail different techniques and tools for medical image registration in order to ease the daily life of clinical experts in cardiology. The first aim of this thesis is providing computer tools for fusing IVUS and angiogram data is of high clinical interest to help the physicians locate in IVUS data and decide which lesion is observed, how long it is, how far from a bifurcation or another lesions stays, etc. This thesis proves and validates that we can segment the catheter path in angiographies using geodesic snakes (based on fast marching algorithm), a three-dimensional reconstruction of the catheter inspired in stereo vision and a new technique to fuse IVUS and angiograms that establishes exact correspondences between them. We have developed a new workstation called iFusion that has four strong advantages: registration of IVUS and angiographic images with sub-pixel precision, it works on- and off-line, it is independent on the X-ray system and there is no need of daily calibration. The second aim of the thesis is devoted to developing a computer-aided analysis of IVUS for image-guided intervention. We have designed, implemented and validated a robust algorithm for stent extraction and reconstruction from IVUS videos. We consider a very special and recent kind of stents, bioabsorbable stents that represent a great clinical challenge due to their property to be absorbed by time and thus avoiding the “danger” of neostenosis as one of the main problems of metallic stents. We present a new and very promising algorithm based on an optimized cascade of multiple classifiers to automatically detect individual stent struts of a very novel bioabsorbable drug eluting coronary stent. This problem represents a very challenging target given the variability in contrast, shape and grey levels of the regions to be detected, what is denoted by the high variability between the specialists (inter-observer variability of 0.14~$\pm$0.12). The obtained results of the automatic strut detection are within the inter-observer variability.

	Title	Boosted Online Learning for Face Recognition			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2009	Publication	IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man and Cybernetics part B	Abbreviated Journal	TSMCB
	Volume	39	Issue	2	Pages	530–538
	Keywords
	Abstract	Face recognition applications commonly suffer from three main drawbacks: a reduced training set, information lying in high-dimensional subspaces, and the need to incorporate new people to recognize. In the recent literature, the extension of a face classifier in order to include new people in the model has been solved using online feature extraction techniques. The most successful approaches of those are the extensions of the principal component analysis or the linear discriminant analysis. In the current paper, a new online boosting algorithm is introduced: a face recognition method that extends a boosting-based classifier by adding new classes while avoiding the need of retraining the classifier each time a new person joins the system. The classifier is learned using the multitask learning principle where multiple verification tasks are trained together sharing the same feature space. The new classes are added taking advantage of the structure learned previously, being the addition of new classes not computationally demanding. The present proposal has been (experimentally) validated with two different facial data sets by comparing our approach with the current state-of-the-art techniques. The results show that the proposed online boosting algorithm fares better in terms of final accuracy. In addition, the global performance does not decrease drastically even when the number of classes of the base problem is multiplied by eight.

	Title	Efficient Object Pixel-Level Categorization using Bag of Features: Advances in Visual Computing			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2009	Publication	5th International Symposium on Visual Computing	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume	5875	Issue		Pages	44–55
	Keywords
	Abstract	In this paper we present a pixel-level object categorization method suitable to be applied under real-time constraints. Since pixels are categorized using a bag of features scheme, the major bottleneck of such an approach would be the feature pooling in local histograms of visual words. Therefore, we propose to bypass this time-consuming step and directly obtain the score from a linear Support Vector Machine classifier. This is achieved by creating an integral image of the components of the SVM which can readily obtain the classification score for any image sub-window with only 10 additions and 2 products, regardless of its size. Besides, we evaluated the performance of two efficient feature quantization methods: the Hierarchical K-Means and the Extremely Randomized Forest. All experiments have been done in the Graz02 database, showing comparable, or even better results to related work with a lower computational cost.

	Title	Visual Registration Method For A Low Cost Robot: Computer Vision Systems			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2009	Publication	7th International Conference on Computer Vision Systems	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume	5815	Issue		Pages	204–214
	Keywords
	Abstract	An autonomous mobile robot must face the correspondence or data association problem in order to carry out tasks like place recognition or unknown environment mapping. In order to put into correspondence two maps, most methods estimate the transformation relating the maps from matches established between low level feature extracted from sensor data. However, finding explicit matches between features is a challenging and computationally expensive task. In this paper, we propose a new method to align obstacle maps without searching explicit matches between features. The maps are obtained from a stereo pair. Then, we use a vocabulary tree approach to identify putative corresponding maps followed by the Newton minimization algorithm to find the transformation that relates both maps. The proposed method is evaluated in a typical office environment showing good performance.

	Title	Variance reduction techniques in particle-based visual contour Tracking			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2009	Publication	Pattern Recognition	Abbreviated Journal	PR
	Volume	42	Issue	11	Pages	2372–2391
	Keywords	Contour tracking; Active shape models; Kalman filter; Particle filter; Importance sampling; Unscented particle filter; Rao-Blackwellization; Partitioned sampling
	Abstract	This paper presents a comparative study of three different strategies to improve the performance of particle filters, in the context of visual contour tracking: the unscented particle filter, the Rao-Blackwellized particle filter, and the partitioned sampling technique. The tracking problem analyzed is the joint estimation of the global and local transformation of the outline of a given target, represented following the active shape model approach. The main contributions of the paper are the novel adaptations of the considered techniques on this generic problem, and the quantitative assessment of their performance in extensive experimental work done.

	Title	The GERMANA Database			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2009	Publication	10th International Conference on Document Analysis and Recognition	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages	301-305
	Keywords
	Abstract	A new handwritten text database, GERMANA, is presented to facilitate empirical comparison of different approaches to text line extraction and off-line handwriting recognition. GERMANA is the result of digitising and annotating a 764-page Spanish manuscript from 1891, in which most pages only contain nearly calligraphed text written on ruled sheets of well-separated lines. To our knowledge, it is the first publicly available database for handwriting research, mostly written in Spanish and comparable in size to standard databases. Due to its sequential book structure, it is also well-suited for realistic assessment of interactive handwriting recognition systems. To provide baseline results for reference in future studies, empirical results are also reported, using standard techniques and tools for preprocessing, feature extraction, HMM-based image modelling, and language modelling.

	Title	Characterizing conversational group dynamics using nonverbal behaviour			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2009	Publication	10th IEEE International Conference on Multimedia and Expo	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages	370–373
	Keywords
	Abstract	This paper addresses the novel problem of characterizing conversational group dynamics. It is well documented in social psychology that depending on the objectives a group, the dynamics are different. For example, a competitive meeting has a different objective from that of a collaborative meeting. We propose a method to characterize group dynamics based on the joint description of a group members' aggregated acoustical nonverbal behaviour to classify two meeting datasets (one being cooperative-type and the other being competitive-type). We use 4.5 hours of real behavioural multi-party data and show that our methodology can achieve a classification rate of upto 100%.
