Title Image Vegetation Index through a Cycle Generative Adversarial Network Type Conference Article
Year 2019 Publication IEEE International Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition-Workshops Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages (down)
Keywords
Abstract This paper proposes a novel approach to estimate the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) just from an RGB image. The NDVI values are obtained by using images from the visible spectral band together with a synthetic near infrared image obtained by a cycled GAN. The cycled GAN network is able to obtain a NIR image from a given gray scale image. It is trained by using unpaired set of gray scale and NIR images by using a U-net architecture and a multiple loss function (gray scale images are obtained from the provided RGB images). Then, the NIR image estimated with the proposed cycle generative adversarial network is used to compute the NDVI index. Experimental results are provided showing the validity of the proposed approach. Additionally, comparisons with previous approaches are also provided.

Title Unsupervised Adaptation for Synthetic-to-Real Handwritten Word Recognition Type Conference Article
Year 2020 Publication IEEE Winter Conference on Applications of Computer Vision Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages (down)
Keywords
Abstract Handwritten Text Recognition (HTR) is still a challenging problem because it must deal with two important difficulties: the variability among writing styles, and the scarcity of labelled data. To alleviate such problems, synthetic data generation and data augmentation are typically used to train HTR systems. However, training with such data produces encouraging but still inaccurate transcriptions in real words. In this paper, we propose an unsupervised writer adaptation approach that is able to automatically adjust a generic handwritten word recognizer, fully trained with synthetic fonts, towards a new incoming writer. We have experimentally validated our proposal using five different datasets, covering several challenges (i) the document source: modern and historic samples, which may involve paper degradation problems; (ii) different handwriting styles: single and multiple writer collections; and (iii) language, which involves different character combinations. Across these challenging collections, we show that our system is able to maintain its performance, thus, it provides a practical and generic approach to deal with new document collections without requiring any expensive and tedious manual annotation step.

Title Exploring Hate Speech Detection in Multimodal Publications Type Conference Article
Year 2020 Publication IEEE Winter Conference on Applications of Computer Vision Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages (down)
Keywords
Abstract In this work we target the problem of hate speech detection in multimodal publications formed by a text and an image. We gather and annotate a large scale dataset from Twitter, MMHS150K, and propose different models that jointly analyze textual and visual information for hate speech detection, comparing them with unimodal detection. We provide quantitative and qualitative results and analyze the challenges of the proposed task. We find that, even though images are useful for the hate speech detection task, current multimodal models cannot outperform models analyzing only text. We discuss why and open the field and the dataset for further research.

Title Automatic Structured Text Reading for License Plates and Utility Meters Type Conference Article
Year 2019 Publication BMVC Workshop on Visual Artificial Intelligence and Entrepreneurship Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages (down)
Keywords
Abstract Reading text in images has attracted interest from computer vision researchers for
many years. Our technology focuses on the extraction of structured text – such as serial
numbers, machine readings, product codes, etc. – so that it is able to center its attention just on the relevant textual elements. It is conceived to work in an end-to-end fashion, bypassing any explicit text segmentation stage. In this paper we present two different industrial use cases where we have applied our automatic structured text reading technology. In the first one, we demonstrate an outstanding performance when reading license plates compared to the current state of the art. In the second one, we present results on our solution for reading utility meters. The technology is commercialized by a recently created spin-off company, and both solutions are at different stages of integration with final clients.

Title ICDAR 2019 Competition on Scene Text Visual Question Answering Type Conference Article
Year 2019 Publication 3rd Workshop on Closing the Loop Between Vision and Language, in conjunction with ICCV2019 Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages (down)
Keywords
Abstract This paper presents final results of ICDAR 2019 Scene Text Visual Question Answering competition (ST-VQA). ST-VQA introduces an important aspect that is not addressed
by any Visual Question Answering system up to date, namely the incorporation of scene text to answer questions asked about an image. The competition introduces a new dataset comprising 23, 038 images annotated with 31, 791 question / answer pairs where the answer is always grounded on text instances present in the image. The images are taken from 7 different public computer vision datasets, covering a wide range of scenarios.
The competition was structured in three tasks of increasing difficulty, that require reading the text in a scene and understanding it in the context of the scene, to correctly answer a given question. A novel evaluation metric is presented, which elegantly assesses both key capabilities expected from an optimal model: text recognition and image understanding. A detailed analysis of results from different participants is showcased, which provides insight into the current capabilities of VQA systems that can read. We firmly believe the dataset proposed in this challenge will be an important milestone to consider towards a path of more robust and general models that
can exploit scene text to achieve holistic image understanding.

Title Objective extraction of the temporal evolution of the mitral valve vortex ring from 4D flow MRI Type Conference Article
Year 2019 Publication 27th Annual Meeting & Exhibition of the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages (down)
Keywords
Abstract The mitral valve vortex ring is a promising flow structure for analysis of diastolic function, however, methods for objective extraction of its formation to dissolution are lacking. We present a novel algorithm for objective extraction of the temporal evolution of the mitral valve vortex ring from magnetic resonance 4D flow data and validated the method against visual analysis. The algorithm successfully extracted mitral valve vortex rings during both early- and late-diastolic filling and agreed substantially with visual assessment. Early-diastolic mitral valve vortex ring properties differed between healthy subjects and patients with ischemic heart disease.

Title AutoCV Challenge Design and Baseline Results Type Conference Article
Year 2019 Publication La Conference sur l’Apprentissage Automatique Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages (down)
Keywords
Abstract We present the design and beta tests of a new machine learning challenge called AutoCV (for Automated Computer Vision), which is the first event in a series of challenges we are planning on the theme of Automated Deep Learning. We target applications for which Deep Learning methods have had great success in the past few years, with the aim of pushing the state of the art in fully automated methods to design the architecture of neural networks and train them without any human intervention. The tasks are restricted to multi-label image classification problems, from domains including medical, areal, people, object, and handwriting imaging. Thus the type of images will vary a lot in scales, textures, and structure. Raw data are provided (no features extracted), but all datasets are formatted in a uniform tensor manner (although images may have fixed or variable sizes within a dataset). The participants's code will be blind tested on a challenge platform in a controlled manner, with restrictions on training and test time and memory limitations. The challenge is part of the official selection of IJCNN 2019.

Title Multi-task human analysis in still images: 2D/3D pose, depth map, and multi-part segmentation Type Conference Article
Year 2019 Publication 14th IEEE International Conference on Automatic Face and Gesture Recognition Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages (down)
Keywords
Abstract While many individual tasks in the domain of human analysis have recently received an accuracy boost from deep learning approaches, multi-task learning has mostly been ignored due to a lack of data. New synthetic datasets are being released, filling this gap with synthetic generated data. In this work, we analyze four related human analysis tasks in still images in a multi-task scenario by leveraging such datasets. Specifically, we study the correlation of 2D/3D pose estimation, body part segmentation and full-body depth estimation. These tasks are learned via the well-known Stacked Hourglass module such that each of the task-specific streams shares information with the others. The main goal is to analyze how training together these four related tasks can benefit each individual task for a better generalization. Results on the newly released SURREAL dataset show that all four tasks benefit from the multi-task approach, but with different combinations of tasks: while combining all four tasks improves 2D pose estimation the most, 2D pose improves neither 3D pose nor full-body depth estimation. On the other hand 2D parts segmentation can benefit from 2D pose but not from 3D pose. In all cases, as expected, the maximum improvement is achieved on those human body parts that show more variability in terms of spatial distribution, appearance and shape, e.g. wrists and ankles.

Keywords
Abstract This volume presents the results of the Neural Information Processing Systems Competition track at the 2018 NeurIPS conference. The competition follows the same format as the 2017 competition track for NIPS. Out of 21 submitted proposals, eight competition proposals were selected, spanning the area of Robotics, Health, Computer Vision, Natural Language Processing, Systems and Physics. Competitions have become an integral part of advancing state-of-the-art in artificial intelligence (AI). They exhibit one important difference to benchmarks: Competitions test a system end-to-end rather than evaluating only a single component; they assess the practicability of an algorithmic solution in addition to assessing feasibility.

Title Multi-Modal Face Anti-Spoofing Attack Detection Challenge at CVPR2019 Type Conference Article
Year 2019 Publication IEEE International Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition-Workshop Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages (down)
Keywords
Abstract Anti-spoofing attack detection is critical to guarantee the security of face-based authentication and facial analysis systems. Recently, a multi-modal face anti-spoofing dataset, CASIA-SURF, has been released with the goal of boosting research in this important topic. CASIA-SURF is the largest public data set for facial anti-spoofing attack detection in terms of both, diversity and modalities: it comprises 1,000 subjects and 21,000 video samples. We organized a challenge around this novel resource to boost research in the subject. The Chalearn LAP multi-modal face anti-spoofing attack detection challenge attracted more than 300 teams for the development phase with a total of 13 teams qualifying for the final round. This paper presents an overview of the challenge, including its design, evaluation protocol and a summary of results. We analyze the top ranked solutions and draw conclusions derived from the competition. In addition we outline future work directions.

Title Fine-grained Image Classification and Retrieval by Combining Visual and Locally Pooled Textual Features Type Conference Article
Year 2020 Publication IEEE Winter Conference on Applications of Computer Vision Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages (down)
Keywords
Abstract Text contained in an image carries high-level semantics that can be exploited to achieve richer image understanding. In particular, the mere presence of text provides strong guiding content that should be employed to tackle a diversity of computer vision tasks such as image retrieval, fine-grained classification, and visual question answering. In this paper, we address the problem of fine-grained classification and image retrieval by leveraging textual information along with visual cues to comprehend the existing intrinsic relation between the two modalities. The novelty of the proposed model consists of the usage of a PHOC descriptor to construct a bag of textual words along with a Fisher Vector Encoding that captures the morphology of text. This approach provides a stronger multimodal representation for this task and as our experiments demonstrate, it achieves state-of-the-art results on two different tasks, fine-grained classification and image retrieval.

Title Handwritten Historical Music Recognition by Sequence-to-Sequence with Attention Mechanism Type Conference Article
Year 2020 Publication 17th International Conference on Frontiers in Handwriting Recognition Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages (down)
Keywords
Abstract Despite decades of research in Optical Music Recognition (OMR), the recognition of old handwritten music scores remains a challenge because of the variabilities in the handwriting styles, paper degradation, lack of standard notation, etc. Therefore, the research in OMR systems adapted to the particularities of old manuscripts is crucial to accelerate the conversion of music scores existing in archives into digital libraries, fostering the dissemination and preservation of our music heritage. In this paper we explore the adaptation of sequence-to-sequence models with attention mechanism (used in translation and handwritten text recognition) and the generation of specific synthetic data for recognizing old music scores. The experimental validation demonstrates that our approach is promising, especially when compared with long short-term memory neural networks.
