Title Enhancement of guided thermal image super-resolution approaches Type Journal Article
Year 2024 Publication Neurocomputing Abbreviated Journal NEUCOM
Volume 573 Issue 127197 Pages 1-17
Keywords
Abstract Guided image processing techniques are widely used to extract meaningful information from a guiding image and facilitate the enhancement of the guided one. This paper specifically addresses the challenge of guided thermal image super-resolution, where a low-resolution thermal image is enhanced using a high-resolution visible spectrum image. We propose a new strategy that enhances outcomes from current guided super-resolution methods. This is achieved by transforming the initial guiding data into a representation resembling a thermal-like image, which is more closely in sync with the intended output. Experimental results with upscale factors of 8 and 16, demonstrate the outstanding performance of our approach in guided thermal image super-resolution obtained by mapping the original guiding information to a thermal-like image representation.

Title Depth Map Estimation from a Single 2D Image Type Conference Article
Year 2023 Publication 17th International Conference on Signal-Image Technology & Internet-Based Systems Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 347-353
Keywords
Abstract This paper presents an innovative architecture based on a Cycle Generative Adversarial Network (CycleGAN) for the synthesis of high-quality depth maps from monocular images. The proposed architecture leverages a diverse set of loss functions, including cycle consistency, contrastive, identity, and least square losses, to facilitate the generation of depth maps that exhibit realism and high fidelity. A notable feature of the approach is its ability to synthesize depth maps from grayscale images without the need for paired training data. Extensive comparisons with different state-of-the-art methods show the superiority of the proposed approach in both quantitative metrics and visual quality. This work addresses the challenge of depth map synthesis and offers significant advancements in the field.

Title Boosting Guided Super-Resolution Performance with Synthesized Images Type Conference Article
Year 2023 Publication 17th International Conference on Signal-Image Technology & Internet-Based Systems Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 189-195
Keywords
Abstract Guided image processing techniques are widely used for extracting information from a guiding image to aid in the processing of the guided one. These images may be sourced from different modalities, such as 2D and 3D, or different spectral bands, like visible and infrared. In the case of guided cross-spectral super-resolution, features from the two modal images are extracted and efficiently merged to migrate guidance information from one image, usually high-resolution (HR), toward the guided one, usually low-resolution (LR). Different approaches have been recently proposed focusing on the development of architectures for feature extraction and merging in the cross-spectral domains, but none of them care about the different nature of the given images. This paper focuses on the specific problem of guided thermal image super-resolution, where an LR thermal image is enhanced by an HR visible spectrum image. To improve existing guided super-resolution techniques, a novel scheme is proposed that maps the original guiding information to a thermal image-like representation that is similar to the output. Experimental results evaluating five different approaches demonstrate that the best results are achieved when the guiding and guided images share the same domain.

Title Deep Learning Based Shrimp Classification Type Conference Article
Year 2022 Publication 17th International Symposium on Visual Computing Abbreviated Journal
Volume 13598 Issue Pages 36–45
Keywords Pigmentation; Color space; Light weight network
Abstract This work proposes a novel approach based on deep learning to address the classification of shrimp (Pennaeus vannamei) into two classes, according to their level of pigmentation accepted by shrimp commerce. The main goal of this actual study is to support the shrimp industry in terms of price and process. An efficient CNN architecture is proposed to perform image classification through a program that could be set other in mobile devices or in fixed support in the shrimp supply chain. The proposed approach is a lightweight model that uses HSV color space shrimp images. A simple pipeline shows the most important stages performed to determine a pattern that identifies the class to which they belong based on their pigmentation. For the experiments, a database acquired with mobile devices of various brands and models has been used to capture images of shrimp. The results obtained with the images in the RGB and HSV color space allow for testing the effectiveness of the proposed model.

Keywords Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), Generative Adversarial Network (GAN), Infrared Imagery colorization
Abstract This paper proposes a stacked conditional Generative Adversarial Network-based method for Near InfraRed (NIR) imagery colorization. We propose a variant architecture of Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) that uses multiple
loss functions over a conditional probabilistic generative model. We show that this new architecture/loss-function yields better generalization and representation of the generated colored IR images. The proposed approach is evaluated on a large test dataset and compared to recent state of the art methods using standard metrics.

Volume Issue Pages 1250 - 12507

Abstract This paper proposes a novel approach to remove haze degradations in RGB images using a stacked conditional Generative Adversarial Network (GAN). It employs a triplet of GAN to remove the haze on each color channel independently.
A multiple loss functions scheme, applied over a conditional probabilistic model, is proposed. The proposed GAN architecture learns to remove the haze, using as conditioned entrance, the images with haze from which the clear
images will be obtained. Such formulation ensures a fast model training convergence and a homogeneous model generalization. Experiments showed that the proposed method generates high-quality clear images.

Title Image Vegetation Index through a Cycle Generative Adversarial Network Type Conference Article
Year 2019 Publication IEEE International Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition-Workshops Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords
Abstract This paper proposes a novel approach to estimate the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) just from an RGB image. The NDVI values are obtained by using images from the visible spectral band together with a synthetic near infrared image obtained by a cycled GAN. The cycled GAN network is able to obtain a NIR image from a given gray scale image. It is trained by using unpaired set of gray scale and NIR images by using a U-net architecture and a multiple loss function (gray scale images are obtained from the provided RGB images). Then, the NIR image estimated with the proposed cycle generative adversarial network is used to compute the NDVI index. Experimental results are provided showing the validity of the proposed approach. Additionally, comparisons with previous approaches are also provided.

Title Cycle Generative Adversarial Network: Towards A Low-Cost Vegetation Index Estimation Type Conference Article
Year 2021 Publication 28th IEEE International Conference on Image Processing Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 19-22
Keywords
Abstract This paper presents a novel unsupervised approach to estimate the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI). The NDVI is obtained as the ratio between information from the visible and near infrared spectral bands; in the current work, the NDVI is estimated just from an image of the visible spectrum through a Cyclic Generative Adversarial Network (CyclicGAN). This unsupervised architecture learns to estimate the NDVI index by means of an image translation between the red channel of a given RGB image and the NDVI unpaired index’s image. The translation is obtained by means of a ResNET architecture and a multiple loss function. Experimental results obtained with this unsupervised scheme show the validity of the implemented model. Additionally, comparisons with the state of the art approaches are provided showing improvements with the proposed approach.

Title Cross-Spectral Image Patch Similarity using Convolutional Neural Network Type Conference Article
Year 2017 Publication IEEE International Workshop of Electronics, Control, Measurement, Signals and their application to Mechatronics Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords
Abstract The ability to compare image regions (patches) has been the basis of many approaches to core computer vision problems, including object, texture and scene categorization. Hence, developing representations for image patches have been of interest in several works. The current work focuses on learning similarity between cross-spectral image patches with a 2 channel convolutional neural network (CNN) model. The proposed approach is an adaptation of a previous work, trying to obtain similar results than the state of the art but with a lowcost hardware. Hence, obtained results are compared with both
classical approaches, showing improvements, and a state of the art CNN based approach.

Title Learning to Colorize Infrared Images Type Conference Article
Year 2017 Publication 15th International Conference on Practical Applications of Agents and Multi-Agent System Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords CNN in multispectral imaging; Image colorization
Abstract This paper focuses on near infrared (NIR) image colorization by using a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) architecture model. The proposed architecture consists of two stages. Firstly, it learns to colorize the given input, resulting in a RGB image. Then, in the second stage, a discriminative model is used to estimate the probability that the generated image came from the training dataset, rather than the image automatically generated. The proposed model starts the learning process from scratch, because our set of images is very di erent from the dataset used in existing pre-trained models, so transfer learning strategies cannot be used. Infrared image colorization is an important problem when human perception need to be considered, e.g, in remote sensing applications. Experimental results with a large set of real images are provided showing the validity of the proposed approach.

Keywords
Abstract This paper proposes a novel approach for colorizing near infrared (NIR) images using Deep Convolutional Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) architectures. The proposed approach is based on the usage of a triplet model for learning each color channel independently, in a more homogeneous way. It allows a fast convergence during the training, obtaining a greater similarity between the given NIR image and the corresponding ground truth. The proposed approach has been evaluated with a large data set of NIR images and compared with a recent approach, which is also based on a GAN architecture but in this case all the
color channels are obtained at the same time.

Title Cross-spectral image dehaze through a dense stacked conditional GAN based approach Type Conference Article
Year 2018 Publication 14th IEEE International Conference on Signal Image Technology & Internet Based System Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords Infrared imaging; Dense; Stacked CGAN; Crossspectral; Convolutional networks
Abstract This paper proposes a novel approach to remove haze from RGB images using a near infrared images based on a dense stacked conditional Generative Adversarial Network (CGAN). The architecture of the deep network implemented
receives, besides the images with haze, its corresponding image in the near infrared spectrum, which serve to accelerate the learning process of the details of the characteristics of the images. The model uses a triplet layer that allows the independence learning of each channel of the visible spectrum image to remove the haze on each color channel separately. A multiple loss function scheme is proposed, which ensures balanced learning between the colors
and the structure of the images. Experimental results have shown that the proposed method effectively removes the haze from the images. Additionally, the proposed approach is compared with a state of the art approach showing better results.

Title Vegetation Index Estimation from Monospectral Images Type Conference Article
Year 2018 Publication 15th International Conference on Images Analysis and Recognition Abbreviated Journal
Volume 10882 Issue Pages 353-362
Keywords
Abstract This paper proposes a novel approach to estimate Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) from just the red channel of a RGB image. The NDVI index is defined as the ratio of the difference of the red and infrared radiances over their sum. In other words, information from the red channel of a RGB image and the corresponding infrared spectral band are required for its computation. In the current work the NDVI index is estimated just from the red channel by training a Conditional Generative Adversarial Network (CGAN). The architecture proposed for the generative network consists of a single level structure, which combines at the final layer results from convolutional operations together with the given red channel with Gaussian noise to enhance
details, resulting in a sharp NDVI image. Then, the discriminative model
estimates the probability that the NDVI generated index came from the training dataset, rather than the index automatically generated. Experimental results with a large set of real images are provided showing that a Conditional GAN single level model represents an acceptable approach to estimate NDVI index.
