	Title	A Benchmark for Endoluminal Scene Segmentation of Colonoscopy Images			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2017	Publication	Journal of Healthcare Engineering	Abbreviated Journal	JHCE
	Volume		Issue		Pages	2040-2295
	Keywords	Colonoscopy images; Deep Learning; Semantic Segmentation
	Abstract	Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third cause of cancer death world-wide. Currently, the standard approach to reduce CRC-related mortality is to perform regular screening in search for polyps and colonoscopy is the screening tool of choice. The main limitations of this screening procedure are polyp miss- rate and inability to perform visual assessment of polyp malignancy. These drawbacks can be reduced by designing Decision Support Systems (DSS) aim- ing to help clinicians in the different stages of the procedure by providing endoluminal scene segmentation. Thus, in this paper, we introduce an extended benchmark of colonoscopy image segmentation, with the hope of establishing a new strong benchmark for colonoscopy image analysis research. The proposed dataset consists of 4 relevant classes to inspect the endolumninal scene, tar- geting different clinical needs. Together with the dataset and taking advantage of advances in semantic segmentation literature, we provide new baselines by training standard fully convolutional networks (FCN). We perform a compar- ative study to show that FCN significantly outperform, without any further post-processing, prior results in endoluminal scene segmentation, especially with respect to polyp segmentation and localization.

	Title	Median Graphs: A Genetic Approach based on New Theoretical Properties			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2009	Publication	Pattern Recognition	Abbreviated Journal	PR
	Volume	42	Issue	9	Pages	2003–2012
	Keywords	Median graph; Genetic search; Maximum common subgraph; Graph matching; Structural pattern recognition
	Abstract	Given a set of graphs, the median graph has been theoretically presented as a useful concept to infer a representative of the set. However, the computation of the median graph is a highly complex task and its practical application has been very limited up to now. In this work we present two major contributions. On one side, and from a theoretical point of view, we show new theoretical properties of the median graph. On the other side, using these new properties, we present a new approximate algorithm based on the genetic search, that improves the computation of the median graph. Finally, we perform a set of experiments on real data, where none of the existing algorithms for the median graph computation could be applied up to now due to their computational complexity. With these results, we show how the concept of the median graph can be used in real applications and leaves the box of the only-theoretical concepts, demonstrating, from a practical point of view, that can be a useful tool to represent a set of graphs.

	Title	Color Constancy by Category Correlation			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2012	Publication	IEEE Transactions on Image Processing	Abbreviated Journal	TIP
	Volume	21	Issue	4	Pages	1997-2007
	Keywords
	Abstract	Finding color representations which are stable to illuminant changes is still an open problem in computer vision. Until now most approaches have been based on physical constraints or statistical assumptions derived from the scene, while very little attention has been paid to the effects that selected illuminants have on the final color image representation. The novelty of this work is to propose perceptual constraints that are computed on the corrected images. We define the category hypothesis, which weights the set of feasible illuminants according to their ability to map the corrected image onto specific colors. Here we choose these colors as the universal color categories related to basic linguistic terms which have been psychophysically measured. These color categories encode natural color statistics, and their relevance across different cultures is indicated by the fact that they have received a common color name. From this category hypothesis we propose a fast implementation that allows the sampling of a large set of illuminants. Experiments prove that our method rivals current state-of-art performance without the need for training algorithmic parameters. Additionally, the method can be used as a framework to insert top-down information from other sources, thus opening further research directions in solving for color constancy.

	Title	Feature Selection on Node Statistics Based Embedding of Graphs			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2012	Publication	Pattern Recognition Letters	Abbreviated Journal	PRL
	Volume	33	Issue	15	Pages	1980–1990
	Keywords	Structural pattern recognition; Graph embedding; Feature ranking; PCA; Graph classification
	Abstract	Representing a graph with a feature vector is a common way of making statistical machine learning algorithms applicable to the domain of graphs. Such a transition from graphs to vectors is known as graphembedding. A key issue in graphembedding is to select a proper set of features in order to make the vectorial representation of graphs as strong and discriminative as possible. In this article, we propose features that are constructed out of frequencies of node label representatives. We first build a large set of features and then select the most discriminative ones according to different ranking criteria and feature transformation algorithms. On different classification tasks, we experimentally show that only a small significant subset of these features is needed to achieve the same classification rates as competing to state-of-the-art methods.

	Title	Multi-oriented touching text character segmentation in graphical documents using dynamic programming			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2012	Publication	Pattern Recognition	Abbreviated Journal	PR
	Volume	45	Issue	5	Pages	1972-1983
	Keywords
	Abstract	2,292 JCR The touching character segmentation problem becomes complex when touching strings are multi-oriented. Moreover in graphical documents sometimes characters in a single-touching string have different orientations. Segmentation of such complex touching is more challenging. In this paper, we present a scheme towards the segmentation of English multi-oriented touching strings into individual characters. When two or more characters touch, they generate a big cavity region in the background portion. Based on the convex hull information, at first, we use this background information to find some initial points for segmentation of a touching string into possible primitives (a primitive consists of a single character or part of a character). Next, the primitives are merged to get optimum segmentation. A dynamic programming algorithm is applied for this purpose using the total likelihood of characters as the objective function. A SVM classifier is used to find the likelihood of a character. To consider multi-oriented touching strings the features used in the SVM are invariant to character orientation. Experiments were performed in different databases of real and synthetic touching characters and the results show that the method is efficient in segmenting touching characters of arbitrary orientations and sizes.

	Title	Human Pose Estimation from Monocular Images: A Comprehensive Survey			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2016	Publication	Sensors	Abbreviated Journal	SENS
	Volume	16	Issue	12	Pages	1966
	Keywords	human pose estimation; human bodymodels; generativemethods; discriminativemethods; top-down methods; bottom-up methods
	Abstract	Human pose estimation refers to the estimation of the location of body parts and how they are connected in an image. Human pose estimation from monocular images has wide applications (e.g., image indexing). Several surveys on human pose estimation can be found in the literature, but they focus on a certain category; for example, model-based approaches or human motion analysis, etc. As far as we know, an overall review of this problem domain has yet to be provided. Furthermore, recent advancements based on deep learning have brought novel algorithms for this problem. In this paper, a comprehensive survey of human pose estimation from monocular images is carried out including milestone works and recent advancements. Based on one standard pipeline for the solution of computer vision problems, this survey splits the problem into several modules: feature extraction and description, human body models, and modeling methods. Problem modeling methods are approached based on two means of categorization in this survey. One way to categorize includes top-down and bottom-up methods, and another way includes generative and discriminative methods. Considering the fact that one direct application of human pose estimation is to provide initialization for automatic video surveillance, there are additional sections for motion-related methods in all modules: motion features, motion models, and motion-based methods. Finally, the paper also collects 26 publicly available data sets for validation and provides error measurement methods that are frequently used.

	Title	A massively parallel computational electrophysiology model of the heart			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2011	Publication	International Journal for Numerical Methods in Biomedical Engineering	Abbreviated Journal	IJNMBE
	Volume	27	Issue		Pages	1911-1929
	Keywords	computational electrophysiology; parallelization; finite element methods
	Abstract	This paper presents a patient-sensitive simulation strategy capable of using the most efficient way the high-performance computational resources. The proposed strategy directly involves three different players: Computational Mechanics Scientists (CMS), Image Processing Scientists and Cardiologists, each one mastering its own expertise area within the project. This paper describes the general integrative scheme but focusing on the CMS side presents a massively parallel implementation of computational electrophysiology applied to cardiac tissue simulation. The paper covers different angles of the computational problem: equations, numerical issues, the algorithm and parallel implementation. The proposed methodology is illustrated with numerical simulations testing all the different possibilities, ranging from small domains up to very large ones. A key issue is the almost ideal scalability not only for large and complex problems but also for medium-size meshes. The explicit formulation is particularly well suited for solving this highly transient problems, with very short time-scale.

	Title	Large-scale document image retrieval and classification with runlength histograms and binary embeddings			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2013	Publication	Pattern Recognition	Abbreviated Journal	PR
	Volume	46	Issue	7	Pages	1898-1905
	Keywords	visual document descriptor; compression; large-scale; retrieval; classification
	Abstract	We present a new document image descriptor based on multi-scale runlength histograms. This descriptor does not rely on layout analysis and can be computed efficiently. We show how this descriptor can achieve state-of-theart results on two very different public datasets in classification and retrieval tasks. Moreover, we show how we can compress and binarize these descriptors to make them suitable for large-scale applications. We can achieve state-ofthe- art results in classification using binary descriptors of as few as 16 to 64 bits.

	Title	Polyp fingerprint: automatic recognition of colorectal polyps’ unique features			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2020	Publication	Surgical Endoscopy and other Interventional Techniques	Abbreviated Journal	SEND
	Volume	34	Issue	4	Pages	1887-1889
	Keywords
	Abstract	BACKGROUND: Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) is an application of machine learning used to retrieve images by similarity on the basis of features. Our objective was to develop a CBIR system that could identify images containing the same polyp ('polyp fingerprint'). METHODS: A machine learning technique called Bag of Words was used to describe each endoscopic image containing a polyp in a unique way. The system was tested with 243 white light images belonging to 99 different polyps (for each polyp there were at least two images representing it in two different temporal moments). Images were acquired in routine colonoscopies at Hospital Clínic using high-definition Olympus endoscopes. The method provided for each image the closest match within the dataset. RESULTS: The system matched another image of the same polyp in 221/243 cases (91%). No differences were observed in the number of correct matches according to Paris classification (protruded: 90.7% vs. non-protruded: 91.3%) and size (< 10 mm: 91.6% vs. > 10 mm: 90%). CONCLUSIONS: A CBIR system can match accurately two images containing the same polyp, which could be a helpful aid for polyp image recognition.

	Title	Exploiting Unlabeled Data in CNNs by Self-Supervised Learning to Rank			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2019	Publication	IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence	Abbreviated Journal	TPAMI
	Volume	41	Issue	8	Pages	1862-1878
	Keywords	Task analysis;Training;Image quality;Visualization;Uncertainty;Labeling;Neural networks;Learning from rankings;image quality assessment;crowd counting;active learning
	Abstract	For many applications the collection of labeled data is expensive laborious. Exploitation of unlabeled data during training is thus a long pursued objective of machine learning. Self-supervised learning addresses this by positing an auxiliary task (different, but related to the supervised task) for which data is abundantly available. In this paper, we show how ranking can be used as a proxy task for some regression problems. As another contribution, we propose an efficient backpropagation technique for Siamese networks which prevents the redundant computation introduced by the multi-branch network architecture. We apply our framework to two regression problems: Image Quality Assessment (IQA) and Crowd Counting. For both we show how to automatically generate ranked image sets from unlabeled data. Our results show that networks trained to regress to the ground truth targets for labeled data and to simultaneously learn to rank unlabeled data obtain significantly better, state-of-the-art results for both IQA and crowd counting. In addition, we show that measuring network uncertainty on the self-supervised proxy task is a good measure of informativeness of unlabeled data. This can be used to drive an algorithm for active learning and we show that this reduces labeling effort by up to 50 percent.

	Title	Video Alignment for Change Detection			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2011	Publication	IEEE Transactions on Image Processing	Abbreviated Journal	TIP
	Volume	20	Issue	7	Pages	1858-1869
	Keywords	video alignment
	Abstract	In this work, we address the problem of aligning two video sequences. Such alignment refers to synchronization, i.e., the establishment of temporal correspondence between frames of the first and second video, followed by spatial registration of all the temporally corresponding frames. Video synchronization and alignment have been attempted before, but most often in the relatively simple cases of fixed or rigidly attached cameras and simultaneous acquisition. In addition, restrictive assumptions have been applied, including linear time correspondence or the knowledge of the complete trajectories of corresponding scene points; to some extent, these assumptions limit the practical applicability of any solutions developed. We intend to solve the more general problem of aligning video sequences recorded by independently moving cameras that follow similar trajectories, based only on the fusion of image intensity and GPS information. The novelty of our approach is to pose the synchronization as a MAP inference problem on a Bayesian network including the observations from these two sensor types, which have been proved complementary. Alignment results are presented in the context of videos recorded from vehicles driving along the same track at different times, for different road types. In addition, we explore two applications of the proposed video alignment method, both based on change detection between aligned videos. One is the detection of vehicles, which could be of use in ADAS. The other is online difference spotting videos of surveillance rounds.

	Title	A coarse-to-fine approach for fast deformable object detection			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2015	Publication	Pattern Recognition	Abbreviated Journal	PR
	Volume	48	Issue	5	Pages	1844-1853
	Keywords
	Abstract	We present a method that can dramatically accelerate object detection with part based models. The method is based on the observation that the cost of detection is likely to be dominated by the cost of matching each part to the image, and not by the cost of computing the optimal configuration of the parts as commonly assumed. Therefore accelerating detection requires minimizing the number of part-to-image comparisons. To this end we propose a multiple-resolutions hierarchical part based model and a corresponding coarse-to-fine inference procedure that recursively eliminates from the search space unpromising part placements. The method yields a ten-fold speedup over the standard dynamic programming approach and is complementary to the cascade-of-parts approach of [9]. Compared to the latter, our method does not have parameters to be determined empirically, which simplifies its use during the training of the model. Most importantly, the two techniques can be combined to obtain a very significant speedup, of two orders of magnitude in some cases. We evaluate our method extensively on the PASCAL VOC and INRIA datasets, demonstrating a very high increase in the detection speed with little degradation of the accuracy.

	Title	Structure-preserving smoothing of biomedical images			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2011	Publication	Pattern Recognition	Abbreviated Journal	PR
	Volume	44	Issue	9	Pages	1842-1851
	Keywords	Non-linear smoothing; Differential geometry; Anatomical structures; segmentation; Cardiac magnetic resonance; Computerized tomography
	Abstract	Smoothing of biomedical images should preserve gray-level transitions between adjacent tissues, while restoring contours consistent with anatomical structures. Anisotropic diffusion operators are based on image appearance discontinuities (either local or contextual) and might fail at weak inter-tissue transitions. Meanwhile, the output of block-wise and morphological operations is prone to present a block structure due to the shape and size of the considered pixel neighborhood. In this contribution, we use differential geometry concepts to define a diffusion operator that restricts to image consistent level-sets. In this manner, the final state is a non-uniform intensity image presenting homogeneous inter-tissue transitions along anatomical structures, while smoothing intra-structure texture. Experiments on different types of medical images (magnetic resonance, computerized tomography) illustrate its benefit on a further process (such as segmentation) of images.

	Title	Synthetic Data Generation for End-to-End Thermal Infrared Tracking			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2019	Publication	IEEE Transactions on Image Processing	Abbreviated Journal	TIP
	Volume	28	Issue	4	Pages	1837 - 1850
	Keywords
	Abstract	The usage of both off-the-shelf and end-to-end trained deep networks have significantly improved the performance of visual tracking on RGB videos. However, the lack of large labeled datasets hampers the usage of convolutional neural networks for tracking in thermal infrared (TIR) images. Therefore, most state-of-the-art methods on tracking for TIR data are still based on handcrafted features. To address this problem, we propose to use image-to-image translation models. These models allow us to translate the abundantly available labeled RGB data to synthetic TIR data. We explore both the usage of paired and unpaired image translation models for this purpose. These methods provide us with a large labeled dataset of synthetic TIR sequences, on which we can train end-to-end optimal features for tracking. To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to train end-to-end features for TIR tracking. We perform extensive experiments on the VOT-TIR2017 dataset. We show that a network trained on a large dataset of synthetic TIR data obtains better performance than one trained on the available real TIR data. Combining both data sources leads to further improvement. In addition, when we combine the network with motion features, we outperform the state of the art with a relative gain of over 10%, clearly showing the efficiency of using synthetic data to train end-to-end TIR trackers.

	Title	Detection of wrinkle frames in endoluminal videos using betweenness centrality measures for images			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2014	Publication	IEEE Transactions on Information Technology in Biomedicine	Abbreviated Journal	TITB
	Volume	18	Issue	6	Pages	1831-1838
	Keywords	Wireless Capsule Endoscopy; Small Bowel Motility Dysfunction; Contraction Detection; Structured Prediction; Betweenness Centrality
	Abstract	Intestinal contractions are one of the most important events to diagnose motility pathologies of the small intestine. When visualized by wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE), the sequence of frames that represents a contraction is characterized by a clear wrinkle structure in the central frames that corresponds to the folding of the intestinal wall. In this paper we present a new method to robustly detect wrinkle frames in full WCE videos by using a new mid-level image descriptor that is based on a centrality measure proposed for graphs. We present an extended validation, carried out in a very large database, that shows that the proposed method achieves state of the art performance for this task.
