	Title	Deriving global quantitative tumor response parameters from 18F-FDG PET-CT scans in patients with non-Hodgkins lymphoma			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2015	Publication	Nuclear Medicine Communications	Abbreviated Journal	NMC
	Volume	36	Issue	4	Pages	328-333
	Keywords
	Abstract	OBJECTIVES: The aim of the study was to address the need for quantifying the global cancer time evolution magnitude from a pair of time-consecutive positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) scans. In particular, we focus on the computation of indicators using image-processing techniques that seek to model non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) progression or response severity. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 89 pairs of time-consecutive PET-CT scans from NHL patients were stored in a nuclear medicine station for subsequent analysis. These were classified by a consensus of nuclear medicine physicians into progressions, partial responses, mixed responses, complete responses, and relapses. The cases of each group were ordered by magnitude following visual analysis. Thereafter, a set of quantitative indicators designed to model the cancer evolution magnitude within each group were computed using semiautomatic and automatic image-processing techniques. Performance evaluation of the proposed indicators was measured by a correlation analysis with the expert-based visual analysis. RESULTS: The set of proposed indicators achieved Pearson's correlation results in each group with respect to the expert-based visual analysis: 80.2% in progressions, 77.1% in partial response, 68.3% in mixed response, 88.5% in complete response, and 100% in relapse. In the progression and mixed response groups, the proposed indicators outperformed the common indicators used in clinical practice [changes in metabolic tumor volume, mean, maximum, peak standardized uptake value (SUV mean, SUV max, SUV peak), and total lesion glycolysis] by more than 40%. CONCLUSION: Computing global indicators of NHL response using PET-CT imaging techniques offers a strong correlation with the associated expert-based visual analysis, motivating the future incorporation of such quantitative and highly observer-independent indicators in oncological decision making or treatment response evaluation scenarios.

	Title	Structure Detection and Segmentation of Documents Using 2D Stochastic Context-Free Grammars			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2015	Publication	Neurocomputing	Abbreviated Journal	NEUCOM
	Volume	150	Issue	A	Pages	147-154
	Keywords	document image analysis; stochastic context-free grammars; text classication features
	Abstract	In this paper we dene a bidimensional extension of Stochastic Context-Free Grammars for structure detection and segmentation of images of documents. Two sets of text classication features are used to perform an initial classication of each zone of the page. Then, the document segmentation is obtained as the most likely hypothesis according to a stochastic grammar. We used a dataset of historical marriage license books to validate this approach. We also tested several inference algorithms for Probabilistic Graphical Models and the results showed that the proposed grammatical model outperformed the other methods. Furthermore, grammars also provide the document structure along with its segmentation.

	Title	Fractional Programming Weighted Decoding for Error-Correcting Output Codes			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2015	Publication	Multiple Classifier Systems, Proceedings of 12th International Workshop , MCS 2015	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages	38-50
	Keywords
	Abstract	In order to increase the classification performance obtained using Error-Correcting Output Codes designs (ECOC), introducing weights in the decoding phase of the ECOC has attracted a lot of interest. In this work, we present a method for ECOC designs that focuses on increasing hypothesis margin on the data samples given a base classifier. While achieving this, we implicitly reward the base classifiers with high performance, whereas punish those with low performance. The resulting objective function is of the fractional programming type and we deal with this problem through the Dinkelbach’s Algorithm. The conducted tests over well known UCI datasets show that the presented method is superior to the unweighted decoding and that it outperforms the results of the state-of-the-art weighted decoding methods in most of the performed experiments.

	Title	Compact color texture description for texture classification			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2015	Publication	Pattern Recognition Letters	Abbreviated Journal	PRL
	Volume	51	Issue		Pages	16-22
	Keywords
	Abstract	Describing textures is a challenging problem in computer vision and pattern recognition. The classification problem involves assigning a category label to the texture class it belongs to. Several factors such as variations in scale, illumination and viewpoint make the problem of texture description extremely challenging. A variety of histogram based texture representations exists in literature. However, combining multiple texture descriptors and assessing their complementarity is still an open research problem. In this paper, we first show that combining multiple local texture descriptors significantly improves the recognition performance compared to using a single best method alone. This gain in performance is achieved at the cost of high-dimensional final image representation. To counter this problem, we propose to use an information-theoretic compression technique to obtain a compact texture description without any significant loss in accuracy. In addition, we perform a comprehensive evaluation of pure color descriptors, popular in object recognition, for the problem of texture classification. Experiments are performed on four challenging texture datasets namely, KTH-TIPS-2a, KTH-TIPS-2b, FMD and Texture-10. The experiments clearly demonstrate that our proposed compact multi-texture approach outperforms the single best texture method alone. In all cases, discriminative color names outperforms other color features for texture classification. Finally, we show that combining discriminative color names with compact texture representation outperforms state-of-the-art methods by 7:8%, 4:3% and 5:0% on KTH-TIPS-2a, KTH-TIPS-2b and Texture-10 datasets respectively.

	Title	Deep semantic pyramids for human attributes and action recognition			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2015	Publication	Image Analysis, Proceedings of 19th Scandinavian Conference , SCIA 2015	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume	9127	Issue		Pages	341-353
	Keywords	Action recognition; Human attributes; Semantic pyramids
	Abstract	Describing persons and their actions is a challenging problem due to variations in pose, scale and viewpoint in real-world images. Recently, semantic pyramids approach [1] for pose normalization has shown to provide excellent results for gender and action recognition. The performance of semantic pyramids approach relies on robust image description and is therefore limited due to the use of shallow local features. In the context of object recognition [2] and object detection [3], convolutional neural networks (CNNs) or deep features have shown to improve the performance over the conventional shallow features. We propose deep semantic pyramids for human attributes and action recognition. The method works by constructing spatial pyramids based on CNNs of different part locations. These pyramids are then combined to obtain a single semantic representation. We validate our approach on the Berkeley and 27 Human Attributes datasets for attributes classification. For action recognition, we perform experiments on two challenging datasets: Willow and PASCAL VOC 2010. The proposed deep semantic pyramids provide a significant gain of 17.2%, 13.9%, 24.3% and 22.6% compared to the standard shallow semantic pyramids on Berkeley, 27 Human Attributes, Willow and PASCAL VOC 2010 datasets respectively. Our results also show that deep semantic pyramids outperform conventional CNNs based on the full bounding box of the person. Finally, we compare our approach with state-of-the-art methods and show a gain in performance compared to best methods in literature.

	Title	Recognizing Actions through Action-specific Person Detection			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2015	Publication	IEEE Transactions on Image Processing	Abbreviated Journal	TIP
	Volume	24	Issue	11	Pages	4422-4432
	Keywords
	Abstract	Action recognition in still images is a challenging problem in computer vision. To facilitate comparative evaluation independently of person detection, the standard evaluation protocol for action recognition uses an oracle person detector to obtain perfect bounding box information at both training and test time. The assumption is that, in practice, a general person detector will provide candidate bounding boxes for action recognition. In this paper, we argue that this paradigm is suboptimal and that action class labels should already be considered during the detection stage. Motivated by the observation that body pose is strongly conditioned on action class, we show that: 1) the existing state-of-the-art generic person detectors are not adequate for proposing candidate bounding boxes for action classification; 2) due to limited training examples, the direct training of action-specific person detectors is also inadequate; and 3) using only a small number of labeled action examples, the transfer learning is able to adapt an existing detector to propose higher quality bounding boxes for subsequent action classification. To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to investigate transfer learning for the task of action-specific person detection in still images. We perform extensive experiments on two benchmark data sets: 1) Stanford-40 and 2) PASCAL VOC 2012. For the action detection task (i.e., both person localization and classification of the action performed), our approach outperforms methods based on general person detection by 5.7% mean average precision (MAP) on Stanford-40 and 2.1% MAP on PASCAL VOC 2012. Our approach also significantly outperforms the state of the art with a MAP of 45.4% on Stanford-40 and 31.4% on PASCAL VOC 2012. We also evaluate our action detection approach for the task of action classification (i.e., recognizing actions without localizing them). For this task, our approach, without using any ground-truth person localization at test tim- , outperforms on both data sets state-of-the-art methods, which do use person locations.

	Title	Facial expression recognition based on multi observations with application to social robotics			Type	Book Chapter
	Year	2015	Publication	Emotional and Facial Expressions: Recognition, Developmental Differences and Social Importance	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages	153-166
	Keywords
	Abstract	Human-robot interaction is a hot topic nowadays in the social robotics community. One crucial aspect is represented by the affective communication which comes encoded through the facial expressions. In this chapter, we propose a novel approach for facial expression recognition, which exploits an efficient and adaptive graph-based label propagation (semi-supervised mode) in a multi-observation framework. The facial features are extracted using an appearance-based 3D face tracker, viewand texture independent. Our method has been extensively tested on the CMU dataset, and has been conveniently compared with other methods for graph construction. With the proposed approach, we developed an application for an AIBO robot, in which it mirrors the recognized facial expression.

	Title	R-clustering for egocentric video segmentation			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2015	Publication	Pattern Recognition and Image Analysis, Proceedings of 7th Iberian Conference , ibPRIA 2015	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume	9117	Issue		Pages	327-336
	Keywords	Temporal video segmentation; Egocentric videos; Clustering
	Abstract	In this paper, we present a new method for egocentric video temporal segmentation based on integrating a statistical mean change detector and agglomerative clustering(AC) within an energy-minimization framework. Given the tendency of most AC methods to oversegment video sequences when clustering their frames, we combine the clustering with a concept drift detection technique (ADWIN) that has rigorous guarantee of performances. ADWIN serves as a statistical upper bound for the clustering-based video segmentation. We integrate both techniques in an energy-minimization framework that serves to disambiguate the decision of both techniques and to complete the segmentation taking into account the temporal continuity of video frames descriptors. We present experiments over egocentric sets of more than 13.000 images acquired with different wearable cameras, showing that our method outperforms state-of-the-art clustering methods.

	Title	Generalized Multi-scale Stacked Sequential Learning for Multi-class Classification			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2015	Publication	Pattern Analysis and Applications	Abbreviated Journal	PAA
	Volume	18	Issue	2	Pages	247-261
	Keywords	Stacked sequential learning; Multi-scale; Error-correct output codes (ECOC); Contextual classification
	Abstract	In many classification problems, neighbor data labels have inherent sequential relationships. Sequential learning algorithms take benefit of these relationships in order to improve generalization. In this paper, we revise the multi-scale sequential learning approach (MSSL) for applying it in the multi-class case (MMSSL). We introduce the error-correcting output codesframework in the MSSL classifiers and propose a formulation for calculating confidence maps from the margins of the base classifiers. In addition, we propose a MMSSL compression approach which reduces the number of features in the extended data set without a loss in performance. The proposed methods are tested on several databases, showing significant performance improvement compared to classical approaches.

	Title	Real-Time Face Detection and Tracking Utilising OpenMP and ROS			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2015	Publication	3rd Asia-Pacific Conference on Computer Aided System Engineering	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages	179 - 184
	Keywords	RGB-D; Kinect; Human Detection and Tracking; ROS; OpenMP
	Abstract	The first requisite of a robot to succeed in social interactions is accurate human localisation, i.e. subject detection and tracking. Later, it is estimated whether an interaction partner seeks attention, for example by interpreting the position and orientation of the body. In computer vision, these cues usually are obtained in colour images, whose qualities are degraded in ill illuminated social scenes. In these scenarios depth sensors offer a richer representation. Therefore, it is important to combine colour and depth information. The second aspect that plays a fundamental role in the acceptance of social robots is their real-time-ability. Processing colour and depth images is computationally demanding. To overcome this we propose a parallelisation strategy of face detection and tracking based on two different architectures: message passing and shared memory. Our results demonstrate high accuracy in low computational time, processing nine times more number of frames in a parallel implementation. This provides a real-time social robot interaction.
