Title XBadges. Identifying and training soft skills with commercial video games Improving persistence, risk taking & spatial reasoning with commercial video games and facial and emotional recognition system Type Conference Article
Year 2017 Publication 4th Congreso de la Sociedad Española para las Ciencias del Videojuego Abbreviated Journal
Volume 1957 Issue Pages 13-28
Keywords Video Games; Soft Skills; Training; Skilling Development; Emotions; Cognitive Abilities; Flappy Bird; Pacman; Tetris
Abstract XBadges is a research project based on the hypothesis that commercial video games (nonserious games) can train soft skills. We measure persistence, patial reasoning and risk taking before and after subjects paticipate in controlled game playing sessions.
In addition, we have developed an automatic facial expression recognition system capable of inferring their emotions while playing, allowing us to study the role of emotions in soft skills acquisition. We have used Flappy Bird, Pacman and Tetris for assessing changes in persistence, risk taking and spatial reasoning respectively.
Results show how playing Tetris significantly improves spatial reasoning and how playing Pacman significantly improves prudence in certain areas of behavior. As for emotions, they reveal that being concentrated helps to improve performance and skills acquisition. Frustration is also shown as a key element. With the results obtained we are able to glimpse multiple applications in areas which need soft skills development.

Title Pre-attention cues for person detection Type Conference Article
Year 2012 Publication Cognitive Behavioural Systems, COST 2102 International Training School Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 225-235
Keywords
Abstract Current state-of-the-art person detectors have been proven reliable and achieve very good detection rates. However, the performance is often far from real time, which limits their use to low resolution images only. In this paper, we deal with candidate window generation problem for person detection, i.e. we want to reduce the computational complexity of a person detector by reducing the number of regions that has to be evaluated. We base our work on Alexe’s paper [1], which introduced several pre-attention cues for generic object detection. We evaluate these cues in the context of person detection and show that their performance degrades rapidly for scenes containing multiple objects of interest such as pictures from urban environment. We extend this set by new cues, which better suits our class-specific task. The cues are designed to be simple and efficient, so that they can be used in the pre-attention phase of a more complex sliding window based person detector.

Title Lacuna Restoration: How to choose a neutral colour? Type Conference Article
Year 2010 Publication Proceedings of The CREATE 2010 Conference Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 248–252
Keywords
Abstract Painting restoration which involves filling in material loss (called lacuna) is a complex process. Several standard techniques exist to tackle lacuna restoration,
and this article focuses on those techniques that employ a “neutral” colour to mask the defect. Restoration experts often disagree on the choice of such a colour and in fact, the concept of a neutral colour is controversial. We posit that a neutral colour is one that attracts relatively little visual attention for a specific lacuna. We conducted an eye tracking experiment to compare two common neutral
colour selection methods, specifically the most common local colour and the mean local colour. Results obtained demonstrate that the most common local colour triggers less visual attention in general. Notwithstanding, we have observed instances in which the most common colour triggers a significant amount of attention when subjects spent time resolving their confusion about whether or not a lacuna was part of the painting.

Title Museums, spaces and museographical resources. Current state and proposals for a multidisciplinary framework to open new perspectives Type Conference Article
Year 2010 Publication Proceedings of The CREATE 2010 Conference Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 319–323
Keywords
Abstract Two of the main aims of a museum are to communicate its heritage and to make enjoy its visitors. This communication can be done through the pieces itself and the museographical resources but also through the building, the interior design, the light and the colour. Art museums, in opposition with other museums, lack on the application of these additional resources. Such a work necessarily requires a multidisciplinary point of view for a holistic vision of all what a museum implies and to use all its potential as a tool of knowledge and culture for all the visitors.

Title Contribution of CIWaM in JPEG2000 Quantization for Color Images Type Conference Article
Year 2010 Publication Proceedings of The CREATE 2010 Conference Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 132–136
Keywords
Abstract The aim of this work is to explain how to apply perceptual concepts to define a perceptual pre-quantizer and to improve JPEG2000 compressor. The approach consists in quantizing wavelet transform coefficients using some of the human visual system behavior properties. Noise is fatal to image compression performance, because it can be both annoying for the observer and consumes excessive bandwidth when the imagery is transmitted. Perceptual pre-quantization reduces unperceivable details and thus improve both visual impression and transmission properties. The comparison between JPEG2000 without and with perceptual pre-quantization shows that the latter is not favorable in PSNR, but the recovered image is more compressed at the same or even better visual quality measured with a weighted PSNR. Perceptual criteria were taken from the CIWaM(ChromaticInductionWaveletModel).

Title Color names as a constraint for Computer Vision problems Type Conference Article
Year 2010 Publication Proceedings of The CREATE 2010 Conference Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 324–328
Keywords
Abstract Computer Vision Problems are usually ill-posed. Constraining de gamut of possible solutions is then a necessary step. Many constrains for different problems have been developed during years. In this paper, we present a different way of constraining some of these problems: the use of color names. In particular, we will focus on segmentation, representation ans constancy.

Title Photo-Realistic Color Alteration for Architecture and Design Type Conference Article
Year 2010 Publication Proceedings of The CREATE 2010 Conference Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 84–88
Keywords
Abstract As color is a strong stimuli we receive from the exterior world, choosing the right color can prove crucial in creating the desired architecture and desing. We propose a framework to apply a realistic color change on both objects and their illuminant lights for snapshots of architectural designs, in order to visualize and choose the right color before actully applying the change in the real world. The proposed framework is based on the laws of physics in order to accomplish realistic and physically plausible results.

Title Divide and Conquer: Atomizing and Parallelizing A Task in A Mobile Crowdsourcing Platform Type Conference Article
Year 2013 Publication 2nd International ACM Workshop on Crowdsourcing for Multimedia Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 21-22
Keywords
Abstract In this paper we present some conclusions about the advantages of having an efficient task formulation when a crowdsourcing platform is used. In particular we show how the task atomization and distribution can help to obtain results in an efficient way. Our proposal is based on a recursive splitting of the original task into a set of smaller and simpler tasks. As a result both more accurate and faster solutions are obtained. Our evaluation is performed on a set of ancient documents that need to be digitized.

Title Automatic Key Frames Detection in Intravascular Ultrasound Sequences Type Conference Article
Year 2011 Publication In MICCAI 2011 Workshop on Computing and Visualization for Intra Vascular Imaging Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords
Abstract We present a method for the automatic detection of key frames in Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) sequences. The key frames are markers delimiting morphological changes along the vessel. The aim of defining key frames is two-fold: (1) they allow to summarize the content of the pullback into few representative frames; (2) they represent the basis for the automatic detection of clinical events in IVUS. The proposed approach achieved a compression ratio of 0.016 with respect to the original sequence and an average inter-frame distance of 61.76 frame, minimizing the number of missed clinical events.
