Title Night-time outdoor surveillance by mobile cameras Type Conference Article
Year 2012 Publication 1st International Conference on Pattern Recognition Applications and Methods Abbreviated Journal
Volume 2 Issue Pages 365-371
Keywords
Abstract This paper addresses the problem of video surveillance by mobile cameras. We present a method that allows online change detection in night-time outdoor surveillance. Because of the camera movement, background frames are not available and must be “localized” in former sequences and registered with the current frames. To this end, we propose a Frame Localization And Registration (FLAR) approach that solves the problem efficiently. Frames of former sequences define a database which is queried by current frames in turn. To quickly retrieve nearest neighbors, database is indexed through a visual dictionary method based on the SURF descriptor. Furthermore, the frame localization is benefited by a temporal filter that exploits the temporal coherence of videos. Next, the recently proposed ECC alignment scheme is used to spatially register the synchronized frames. Finally, change detection methods apply to aligned frames in order to mark suspicious areas. Experiments with real night sequences recorded by in-vehicle cameras demonstrate the performance of the proposed method and verify its efficiency and effectiveness against other methods.

Title Optical Flow in Onboard Applications: A Study on the Relationship Between Accuracy and Scene Texture Type Conference Article
Year 2012 Publication 4th International Conference on Signal and Image Processing Abbreviated Journal
Volume 221 Issue Pages 257-267
Keywords
Abstract Optical flow has got a major role in making advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) a reality. ADAS applications are expected to perform efficiently in all kinds of environments, those are highly probable, that one can drive the vehicle in different kinds of roads, times and seasons. In this work, we study the relationship of optical flow with different roads, that is by analyzing optical flow accuracy on different road textures. Texture measures such as TeX , TeX and TeX are evaluated for this purpose. Further, the relation of regularization weight to the flow accuracy in the presence of different textures is also analyzed. Additionally, we present a framework to generate synthetic sequences of different textures in ADAS scenarios with ground-truth optical flow.

Title MultiTable Reinforcement for Visual Object Recognition Type Conference Article
Year 2012 Publication 4th International Conference on Signal and Image Processing Abbreviated Journal
Volume 221 Issue Pages 469-480
Keywords
Abstract This paper presents a bag of feature based method for visual object recognition. Our contribution is focussed on the selection of the best feature descriptor. It is implemented by using a novel multi-table reinforcement learning method that selects among five of classical descriptors (i.e., Spin, SIFT, SURF, C-SIFT and PHOW) the one that best describes each image. Experimental results and comparisons are provided showing the improvements achieved with the proposed approach.

Title On-line Semantic Perception Using Uncertainty Type Conference Article
Year 2012 Publication International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems Abbreviated Journal IROS
Volume Issue Pages 4185-4191
Keywords Semantic Segmentation
Abstract Visual perception capabilities are still highly unreliable in unconstrained settings, and solutions might not beaccurate in all regions of an image. Awareness of the uncertainty of perception is a fundamental requirement for proper high level decision making in a robotic system. Yet, the uncertainty measure is often sacrificed to account for dependencies between object/region classifiers. This is the case of Conditional Random Fields (CRFs), the success of which stems from their ability to infer the most likely world configuration, but they do not directly allow to estimate the uncertainty of the solution. In this paper, we consider the setting of assigning semantic labels to the pixels of an image sequence. Instead of using a CRF, we employ a Perturb-and-MAP Random Field, a recently introduced probabilistic model that allows performing fast approximate sampling from its probability density function. This allows to effectively compute the uncertainty of the solution, indicating the reliability of the most likely labeling in each region of the image. We report results on the CamVid dataset, a standard benchmark for semantic labeling of urban image sequences. In our experiments, we show the benefits of exploiting the uncertainty by putting more computational effort on the regions of the image that are less reliable, and use more efficient techniques for other regions, showing little decrease of performance

Title A medial map capturing the essential geometry of organs Type Conference Article
Year 2012 Publication ISBI Workshop on Open Source Medical Image Analysis software Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 1691 - 1694
Keywords Medial Surface Representation, Volume Reconstruction,Geometry , Image reconstruction , Liver , Manifolds , Shape , Surface morphology , Surface reconstruction
Abstract Medial representations are powerful tools for describing and parameterizing the volumetric shape of anatomical structures. Accurate computation of one pixel wide medial surfaces is mandatory. Those surfaces must represent faithfully the geometry of the volume. Although morphological methods produce excellent results in 2D, their complexity and quality drops across dimensions, due to a more complex description of pixel neighborhoods. This paper introduces a continuous operator for accurate and efficient computation of medial structures of arbitrary dimension. Our experiments show its higher performance for medical imaging applications in terms of simplicity of medial structures and capability for reconstructing the anatomical volume

Title Pedestrian Candidates Generation using Monocular Cues Type Conference Article
Year 2012 Publication IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 7-12
Keywords pedestrian detection
Abstract Common techniques for pedestrian candidates generation (e.g., sliding window approaches) are based on an exhaustive search over the image. This implies that the number of windows produced is huge, which translates into a significant time consumption in the classification stage. In this paper, we propose a method that significantly reduces the number of windows to be considered by a classifier. Our method is a monocular one that exploits geometric and depth information available on single images. Both representations of the world are fused together to generate pedestrian candidates based on an underlying model which is focused only on objects standing vertically on the ground plane and having certain height, according with their depths on the scene. We evaluate our algorithm on a challenging dataset and demonstrate its application for pedestrian detection, where a considerable reduction in the number of candidate windows is reached.

Title An Empirical Study on Optical Flow Accuracy Depending on Vehicle Speed Type Conference Article
Year 2012 Publication IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 1138-1143
Keywords
Abstract Driver assistance and safety systems are getting attention nowadays towards automatic navigation and safety. Optical flow as a motion estimation technique has got major roll in making these systems a reality. Towards this, in the current paper, the suitability of polar representation for optical flow estimation in such systems is demonstrated. Furthermore, the influence of individual regularization terms on the accuracy of optical flow on image sequences of different speeds is empirically evaluated. Also a new synthetic dataset of image sequences with different speeds is generated along with the ground-truth optical flow.

Title Color Correction for Onboard Multi-camera Systems using 3D Gaussian Mixture Models Type Conference Article
Year 2012 Publication IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 299-303
Keywords
Abstract The current paper proposes a novel color correction approach for onboard multi-camera systems. It works by segmenting the given images into several regions. A probabilistic segmentation framework, using 3D Gaussian Mixture Models, is proposed. Regions are used to compute local color correction functions, which are then combined to obtain the final corrected image. An image data set of road scenarios is used to establish a performance comparison of the proposed method with other seven well known color correction algorithms. Results show that the proposed approach is the highest scoring color correction method. Also, the proposed single step 3D color space probabilistic segmentation reduces processing time over similar approaches.

Title Assessing agonist efficacy in an uncertain Em world Type Conference Article
Year 2012 Publication 40th Keystone Symposia on mollecular and celular biology Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 79
Keywords
Abstract The operational model of agonism has been widely used for the analysis of agonist action since its formulation in 1983. The model includes the Em parameter, which is defined as the maximum response of the system. The methods for Em estimation provide Em values not significantly higher than the maximum responses achieved by full agonists. However, it has been found that that some classes of compounds as, for instance, superagonists and positive allosteric modulators can increase the full agonist maximum response, implying upper limits for Em and thereby posing doubts on the validity of Em estimates. Because of the correlation between Em and operational efficacy, τ, wrong Em estimates will yield wrong τ estimates.
In this presentation, the operational model of agonism and various methods for the simulation of allosteric modulation will be analyzed. Alternatives for curve fitting will be presented and discussed.

Title Automatic Non-Rigid Temporal Alignment of IVUS Sequences Type Conference Article
Year 2012 Publication 15th International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention Abbreviated Journal
Volume 1 Issue Pages 642-650
Keywords
Abstract Clinical studies on atherosclerosis regression/progression performed by Intravascular Ultrasound analysis require the alignment of pullbacks of the same patient before and after clinical interventions. In this paper, a methodology for the automatic alignment of IVUS sequences based on the Dynamic Time Warping technique is proposed. The method is adapted to the specific IVUS alignment task by applying the non-rigid alignment technique to multidimensional morphological signals, and by introducing a sliding window approach together with a regularization term. To show the effectiveness of our method, an extensive validation is performed both on synthetic data and in-vivo IVUS sequences. The proposed method is robust to stent deployment and post dilation surgery and reaches an alignment error of approximately 0.7 mm for in-vivo data, which is comparable to the inter-observer variability.
