	Title	Vessel structures alignment by spectral analysis of ivus sequences			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2006	Publication	Proc. of CVII, MICCAI Workshop	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages	39-36
	Keywords
	Abstract	Three-dimensional intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) allows to visualize and obtain volumetric measurements of coronary lesions through an exploration of the cross sections and longitudinal views of arteries. However, the visualization and subsequent morpho-geometric measurements in IVUS longitudinal cuts are subject to distortion caused by periodic image/vessel motion around the IVUS catheter. Usually, to overcome the image motion artifact ECG-gating and image-gated approaches are proposed, leading to slowing the pullback acquisition or disregarding part of IVUS data. In this paper, we argue that the image motion is due to 3-D vessel geometry as well as cardiac dynamics, and propose a dynamic model based on the tracking of an elliptical vessel approximation to recover the rigid transformation and align IVUS images without loosing any IVUS data. We report an extensive validation with synthetic simulated data and in vivo IVUS sequences of 30 patients achieving an average reduction of the image artifact of 97% in synthetic data and 79% in real-data. Our study shows that IVUS alignment improves longitudinal analysis of the IVUS data and is a necessary step towards accurate reconstruction and volumetric measurements of 3-D IVUS.

	Title	A PBL Experience in the Teaching of Computer Graphics			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2006	Publication	Computer Graphics Forum	Abbreviated Journal	CGF
	Volume	25	Issue	1	Pages	95-103

	Abstract	Project-Based Learning (PBL) is an educational strategy to improve student’s learning capability that, in recent years, has had a progressive acceptance in undergraduate studies. This methodology is based on solving a problem or project in a student working group. In this way, PBL focuses on learning the necessary tools to correctly find a solution to given problems. Since the learning initiative is transferred to the student, the PBL method promotes students own abilities. This allows a better assessment of the true workload that carries out the student in the subject. It follows that the methodology conforms to the guidelines of the Bologna document, which quantifies the student workload in a subject by means of the European credit transfer system (ECTS). PBL is currently applied in undergraduate studies needing strong practical training such as medicine, nursing or law sciences. Although this is also the case in engineering studies, amazingly, few experiences have been reported. In this paper we propose to use PBL in the educational organization of the Computer Graphics subjects in the Computer Science degree. Our PBL project focuses in the development of a C++ graphical environment based on the OpenGL libraries for visualization and handling of different graphical objects. The starting point is a basic skeleton that already includes lighting functions, perspective projection with mouse interaction to change the point of view and three predefined objects. Students have to complete this skeleton by adding their own functions to solve the project. A total number of 10 projects have been proposed and successfully solved. The exercises range from human face rendering to articulated objects, such as robot arms or puppets. In the present paper we extensively report the statement and educational objectives for two of the projects: solar system visualization and a chess game. We report our earlier educational experience based on the standard classroom theoretical, problem and practice sessions and the reasons that motivated searching for other learning methods. We have mainly chosen PBL because it improves the student learning initiative. We have applied the PBL educational model since the beginning of the second semester. The student’s feedback increases in his interest for the subject. We present a comparative study of the teachers’ and students’ workload between PBL and the classic teaching approach, which suggests that the workload increase in PBL is not as high as it seems.

	Title	Correction of Misalignment Artifacts Among 2-D Cardiac MR Images in 3-D Space			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2006	Publication	1st International Wokshop on Computer Vision for Intravascular and Intracardiac Imaging (CVII’06)	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume	3217	Issue		Pages	114-121
	Keywords
	Abstract	Cardiac Magnetic Resonance images offer the opportunity to study the heart in detail. One of the main issues in its modelling is to create an accurate 3-D reconstruction of the left ventricle from 2-D views. A first step to achieve this goal is the correct registration among the different image planes due to patient movements. In this article, we present an accurate method to correct displacement artifacts using the Normalized Mutual Information. Here, the image views are treated as planes in order to diminish the approximation error caused by the association of a certain thickness, and moved simultaneously to avoid any kind of bias in the alignment process. This method has been validated using real and syntectic plane displacements, yielding promising results.

	Title	Anisotropic Feature Extraction from Endoluminal Images for Detection of Intestinal Contractions			Type	Book Chapter
	Year	2006	Publication	9th International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer–Assisted Intervention	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume	4191	Issue		Pages	161–168
	Keywords
	Abstract	Wireless endoscopy is a very recent and at the same time unique technique allowing to visualize and study the occurrence of con- tractions and to analyze the intestine motility. Feature extraction is es- sential for getting efficient patterns to detect contractions in wireless video endoscopy of small intestine. We propose a novel method based on anisotropic image filtering and efficient statistical classification of con- traction features. In particular, we apply the image gradient tensor for mining informative skeletons from the original image and a sequence of descriptors for capturing the characteristic pattern of contractions. Fea- tures extracted from the endoluminal images were evaluated in terms of their discriminatory ability in correct classifying images as either belong- ing to contractions or not. Classification was performed by means of a support vector machine classifier with a radial basis function kernel. Our classification rates gave sensitivity of the order of 90.84% and specificity of the order of 94.43% respectively. These preliminary results highlight the high efficiency of the selected descriptors and support the feasibility of the proposed method in assisting the automatic detection and analysis of contractions.

	Title	Linear Radial Patterns Characterization for Automatic Detection of Tonic Intestinal Contractions			Type	Book Chapter
	Year	2006	Publication	11th Iberoamerican Congress on Pattern Recognition	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume	4225	Issue		Pages	178–187
	Keywords
	Abstract	This work tackles the categorization of general linear radial patterns by means of the valleys and ridges detection and the use of descriptors of directional information, which are provided by steerable filters in different regions of the image. We successfully apply our proposal in the specific case of automatic detection of tonic contractions in video capsule endoscopy, which represent a paradigmatic example of linear radial patterns.

	Title	A Machine Learning framework using SOMs: Applications in the Intestinal Motility Assessment			Type	Book Chapter
	Year	2006	Publication	11th Iberoamerican Congress on Pattern Recognition	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume	4225	Issue		Pages	188–197
	Keywords
	Abstract	Small Bowel Motility Assessment by means of Wireless Capsule Video Endoscopy constitutes a novel clinical methodology in which a capsule with a micro-camera attached to it is swallowed by the patient, emitting a RF signal which is recorded as a video of its trip throughout the gut. In order to overcome the main drawbacks associated with this technique -mainly related to the large amount of visualization time required-, our efforts have been focused on the development of a machine learning system, built up in sequential stages, which provides the specialists with the useful part of the video, rejecting those parts not valid for analysis. We successfully used Self Organized Maps in a general semi-supervised framework with the aim of tackling the different learning stages of our system. The analysis of the diverse types of images and the automatic detection of intestinal contractions is performed under the perspective of intestinal motility assessment in a clinical environment.

	Title	Real Time Vehicle Pose Using On-Board Stereo Vision System			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2006	Publication	International Conference on Image Analysis and Recognition	Abbreviated Journal	ICIAR
	Volume		Issue	LNCS 4142	Pages	205–216
	Keywords
	Abstract	This paper presents a robust technique for a real time estimation of both camera’s position and orientation—referred as pose. A commercial stereo vision system is used. Unlike previous approaches, it can be used either for urban or highway scenarios. The proposed technique consists of two stages. Initially, a compact 2D representation of the original 3D data points is computed. Then, a RANSAC based least squares approach is used for fitting a plane to the road. At the same time, relative camera’s position and orientation are computed. The proposed technique is intended to be used on a driving assistance scheme for applications such as obstacle or pedestrian detection. Experimental results on urban environments with different road geometries are presented.

	Title	Biometric Recognition Based on Line Shape Descriptors			Type	Book Chapter
	Year	2006	Publication	Lecture Notes in Computer Science	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume	3926	Issue		Pages	346–357,
	Keywords
	Abstract	Abstract. In this paper we propose biometric descriptors inspired by shape signatures traditionally used in graphics recognition approaches. In particular several methods based on line shape descriptors used to iden- tify newborns from the biometric information of the ears are developed. The process steps are the following: image acquisition, ear segmentation, ear normalization, feature extraction and identification. Several shape signatures are defined from contour images. These are formulated in terms of zoning and contour crossings descriptors. Experimental results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the used techniques.

	Title	Pedestrian Detection Using AdaBoost Learning of Features and Vehicle Pitch Estimation			Type	Miscellaneous
	Year	2006	Publication	6th IASTED International Conference on Visualization, Imaging and Image Processing	Abbreviated Journal	VIIP
	Volume		Issue		Pages	400–405
	Keywords	ADAS, pedestrian detection, adaboost learning, pitch estimation, haar wavelets, edge orientation histograms.
	Abstract	In this paper we propose a combination of different Haar filter sets and Edge Orientation Histograms (EOH) in order to learn a model for pedestrian detection. As we will show, with the addition of EOH we obtain better ROCs than using Haar filters alone. Hence, a model consisting of discriminant features, selected by AdaBoost, is applied at pedestrian-sized image windows in order to perform the classification. Additionally, taking into account the final application, a driver assistance system with realtime requirements, we propose a novel stereo-based camera pitch estimation to reduce the number of explored windows. With this approach, the system can work in urban roads, as will be illustrated by current results.

	Year	2006	Publication	Pattern Recognition and Image Analysis	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume	16	Issue	3	Pages	425-431
	Keywords	Pattern recognition, Correlation filters, A adaptive filters
	Abstract	Adaptive correlation filters based on synthetic discriminant functions (SDFs) for reliable pattern recognition are proposed. A given value of discrimination capability can be achieved by adapting a SDF filter to the input scene. This can be done by iterative training. Computer simulation results obtained with the proposed filters are compared with those of various correlation filters in terms of recognition performance.

	Title	On the nature of 2D crystal unbending			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2006	Publication	Journal of Structural Biology	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume	156	Issue	3	Pages	546-555
	Keywords	Electron microscopy
	Abstract	Crystal unbending, the process that aims to recover a perfect crystal from experimental data, is one of the more important steps in electron crystallography image processing. The unbending process involves three steps: estimation of the unit cell displacements from their ideal positions, extension of the deformation field to the whole image and transformation of the image in order to recover an ideal crystal. In this work, we present a systematic analysis of the second step oriented to address two issues. First, whether the unit cells remain undistorted and only the distance between them should be changed (rigid case) or should be modified with the same deformation suffered by the whole crystal (elastic case). Second, the performance of different extension algorithms (interpolation versus approximation) is explored. Our experiments show that there is no difference between elastic and rigid cases or among the extension algorithms. This implies that the deformation fields are constant over large areas. Furthermore, our results indicate that the main source of error is the transformation of the crystal image.
