Title Exploring the combination of color cues for intrinsic image decomposition Type Report
Year 2014 Publication CVC Technical Report Abbreviated Journal
Volume 178 Issue Pages (up)
Keywords
Abstract Intrinsic image decomposition is a challenging problem that consists in separating an image into its physical characteristics: reflectance and shading. This problem can be solved in different ways, but most methods have combined information from several visual cues. In this work we describe an extension of an existing method proposed by Serra et al. which considers two color descriptors and combines them by means of a Markov Random Field. We analyze in depth the weak points of the method and we explore more possibilities to use in both descriptors. The proposed extension depends on the combination of the cues considered to overcome some of the limitations of the original method. Our approach is tested on the MIT dataset and Beigpour et al. dataset, which contain images of real objects acquired under controlled conditions and synthetic images respectively, with their corresponding ground truth.

Title An Overview of Color Name Applications in Computer Vision Type Conference Article
Year 2015 Publication Computational Color Imaging Workshop Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages (up)
Keywords color features; color names; object recognition
Abstract In this article we provide an overview of color name applications in computer vision. Color names are linguistic labels which humans use to communicate color. Computational color naming learns a mapping from pixels values to color names. In recent years color names have been applied to a wide variety of computer vision applications, including image classification, object recognition, texture classification, visual tracking and action recognition. Here we provide an overview of these results which show that in general color names outperform photometric invariants as a color representation.

Title An Effective Solution to Double Counting Problem in Human Pose Estimation Type Miscellaneous
Year 2015 Publication Arxiv Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages (up)
Keywords Pose estimation; double counting problem; mix-ture of parts Model
Abstract The mixture of parts model has been successfully applied to solve the 2D
human pose estimation problem either as an explicitly trained body part model
or as latent variables for pedestrian detection. Even in the era of massive
applications of deep learning techniques, the mixture of parts model is still
effective in solving certain problems, especially in the case with limited
numbers of training samples. In this paper, we consider using the mixture of
parts model for pose estimation, wherein a tree structure is utilized for
representing relations between connected body parts. This strategy facilitates
training and inferencing of the model but suffers from double counting
problems, where one detected body part is counted twice due to lack of
constrains among unconnected body parts. To solve this problem, we propose a
generalized solution in which various part attributes are captured by multiple
features so as to avoid the double counted problem. Qualitative and
quantitative experimental results on a public available dataset demonstrate the
effectiveness of our proposed method.

Title FitNets: Hints for Thin Deep Nets Type Conference Article
Year 2015 Publication 3rd International Conference on Learning Representations ICLR2015 Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages (up)
Keywords Computer Science ; Learning; Computer Science ;Neural and Evolutionary Computing
Abstract While depth tends to improve network performances, it also makes gradient-based training more difficult since deeper networks tend to be more non-linear. The recently proposed knowledge distillation approach is aimed at obtaining small and fast-to-execute models, and it has shown that a student network could imitate the soft output of a larger teacher network or ensemble of networks. In this paper, we extend this idea to allow the training of a student that is deeper and thinner than the teacher, using not only the outputs but also the intermediate representations learned by the teacher as hints to improve the training process and final performance of the student. Because the student intermediate hidden layer will generally be smaller than the teacher's intermediate hidden layer, additional parameters are introduced to map the student hidden layer to the prediction of the teacher hidden layer. This allows one to train deeper students that can generalize better or run faster, a trade-off that is controlled by the chosen student capacity. For example, on CIFAR-10, a deep student network with almost 10.4 times less parameters outperforms a larger, state-of-the-art teacher network.

Title Improving Bag of Visual Words Representations with Genetic Programming Type Conference Article
Year 2015 Publication IEEE International Joint Conference on Neural Networks IJCNN2015 Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages (up)
Keywords
Abstract The bag of visual words is a well established representation in diverse computer vision problems. Taking inspiration from the fields of text mining and retrieval, this representation has proved to be very effective in a large number of domains.
In most cases, a standard term-frequency weighting scheme is considered for representing images and videos in computer vision. This is somewhat surprising, as there are many alternative ways of generating bag of words representations within the text processing community. This paper explores the use of alternative weighting schemes for landmark tasks in computer vision: image
categorization and gesture recognition. We study the suitability of using well-known supervised and unsupervised weighting schemes for such tasks. More importantly, we devise a genetic program that learns new ways of representing images and videos under the bag of visual words representation. The proposed method learns to combine term-weighting primitives trying to maximize the classification performance. Experimental results are reported in standard image and video data sets showing the effectiveness of the proposed evolutionary algorithm.

Title Design of the 2015 ChaLearn AutoML Challenge Type Conference Article
Year 2015 Publication IEEE International Joint Conference on Neural Networks IJCNN2015 Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages (up)
Keywords
Abstract ChaLearn is organizing for IJCNN 2015 an Automatic Machine Learning challenge (AutoML) to solve classification and regression problems from given feature representations, without any human intervention. This is a challenge with code
submission: the code submitted can be executed automatically on the challenge servers to train and test learning machines on new datasets. However, there is no obligation to submit code. Half of the prizes can be won by just submitting prediction results.
There are six rounds (Prep, Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, Expert, and Master) in which datasets of progressive difficulty are introduced (5 per round). There is no requirement to participate in previous rounds to enter a new round. The rounds alternate AutoML phases in which submitted code is “blind tested” on
datasets the participants have never seen before, and Tweakathon phases giving time (' 1 month) to the participants to improve their methods by tweaking their code on those datasets. This challenge will push the state-of-the-art in fully automatic machine learning on a wide range of problems taken from real world
applications. The platform will remain available beyond the termination of the challenge: http://codalab.org/AutoML

Title Monitoring neuromotricity on-line: a cloud computing approach Type Conference Article
Year 2015 Publication 17th Conference of the International Graphonomics Society IGS2015 Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages (up)
Keywords
Abstract The goal of our experiment is to develop a useful and accessible tool that can be used to evaluate a patient's health by analyzing handwritten strokes. We use a cloud computing approach to analyze stroke data sampled on a commercial tablet working on the Android platform and a distant server to perform complex calculations using the Delta and Sigma lognormal algorithms. A Google Drive account is used to store the data and to ease the development of the project. The communication between the tablet, the cloud and the server is encrypted to ensure biomedical information confidentiality. Highly parameterized biomedical tests are implemented on the tablet as well as a free drawing test to evaluate the validity of the data acquired by the first test compared to the second one. A blurred shape model descriptor pattern recognition algorithm is used to classify the data obtained by the free drawing test. The functions presented in this paper are still currently under development and other improvements are needed before launching the application in the public domain.

Title Bulding up the future of colonoscopy: A synergy between clinicians and computer scientists Type Book Chapter
Year 2015 Publication Colonoscopy and Colorectal Cancer Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages (up)
Keywords Intelligent systems; Image properties; Validation; Clinical drawbacks; Endoluminal scene description
Abstract Recent advances in endoscopic technology have generated an increasing interest in strengthening the collaboration between clinicians and computers scientist to develop intelligent systems that can provide additional information to clinicians in the different stages of an intervention. The objective of this chapter is to identify clinical drawbacks of colonoscopy in order to define potential areas of collaboration. Once areas are defined, we present the challenges that colonoscopy images present in order computational methods to provide with meaningful output, including those related to image formation and acquisition, as they are proven to have an impact in the performance of an intelligent system. Finally, we also propose how to define validation frameworks in order to assess the performance of a given method, making an special emphasis on how databases should be created and annotated and which metrics should be used to evaluate systems correctly.

Title Domain Adaptation of Deformable Part-based Models Type Book Whole
Year 2015 Publication PhD Thesis, Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona-CVC Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages (up)
Keywords
Abstract On-board pedestrian detection is crucial for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems
(ADAS). An accurate classi cation is fundamental for vision-based pedestrian detection.
The underlying assumption for learning classi ers is that the training set and the deployment environment (testing) follow the same probability distribution regarding the features used by the classi ers. However, in practice, there are di erent reasons that can break this constancy assumption. Accordingly, reusing existing classi ers by adapting them from the previous training environment (source domain) to the new testing one (target domain) is an approach with increasing acceptance in the computer vision community. In this thesis we focus on the domain adaptation of deformable part-based models (DPMs) for pedestrian detection. As a prof of concept, we use a computer graphic based synthetic dataset, i.e. a virtual world, as the source domain, and adapt the virtual-world trained DPM detector to various real-world dataset.
We start by exploiting the maximum detection accuracy of the virtual-world
trained DPM. Even though, when operating in various real-world datasets, the virtualworld trained detector still su er from accuracy degradation due to the domain gap of virtual and real worlds. We then focus on domain adaptation of DPM. At the rst step, we consider single source and single target domain adaptation and propose two batch learning methods, namely A-SSVM and SA-SSVM. Later, we further consider leveraging multiple target (sub-)domains for progressive domain adaptation and propose a hierarchical adaptive structured SVM (HA-SSVM) for optimization. Finally, we extend HA-SSVM for the challenging online domain adaptation problem, aiming at making the detector to automatically adapt to the target domain online, without any human intervention. All of the proposed methods in this thesis do not require
revisiting source domain data. The evaluations are done on the Caltech pedestrian detection benchmark. Results show that SA-SSVM slightly outperforms A-SSVM and avoids accuracy drops as high as 15 points when comparing with a non-adapted detector. The hierarchical model learned by HA-SSVM further boosts the domain adaptation performance. Finally, the online domain adaptation method has demonstrated that it can achieve comparable accuracy to the batch learned models while not requiring manually label target domain examples. Domain adaptation for pedestrian detection is of paramount importance and a relatively unexplored area. We humbly hope the work in this thesis could provide foundations for future work in this area.
