Title State-driven particle filter for multi-person tracking Type Conference Article
Year 2012 Publication 11th International Conference on Advanced Concepts for Intelligent Vision Systems Abbreviated Journal
Volume 7517 Issue Pages (down) 467-478
Keywords human tracking
Abstract Multi-person tracking can be exploited in applications such as driver assistance, surveillance, multimedia and human-robot interaction. With the help of human detectors, particle filters offer a robust method able to filter noisy detections and provide temporal coherence. However, some traditional problems such as occlusions with other targets or the scene, temporal drifting or even the lost targets detection are rarely considered, making the systems performance decrease. Some authors propose to overcome these problems using heuristics not explained
and formalized in the papers, for instance by defining exceptions to the model updating depending on tracks overlapping. In this paper we propose to formalize these events by the use of a state-graph, defining the current state of the track (e.g., potential , tracked, occluded or lost) and the transitions between states in an explicit way. This approach has the advantage of linking track actions such as the online underlying models updating, which gives flexibility to the system. It provides an explicit representation to adapt the multiple parallel trackers depending on the context, i.e., each track can make use of a specific filtering strategy, dynamic model, number of particles, etc. depending on its state. We implement this technique in a single-camera multi-person tracker and test
it in public video sequences.

Title Multi-script Text Extraction from Natural Scenes Type Conference Article
Year 2013 Publication 12th International Conference on Document Analysis and Recognition Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages (down) 467-471
Keywords
Abstract Scene text extraction methodologies are usually based in classification of individual regions or patches, using a priori knowledge for a given script or language. Human perception of text, on the other hand, is based on perceptual organisation through which text emerges as a perceptually significant group of atomic objects. Therefore humans are able to detect text even in languages and scripts never seen before. In this paper, we argue that the text extraction problem could be posed as the detection of meaningful groups of regions. We present a method built around a perceptual organisation framework that exploits collaboration of proximity and similarity laws to create text-group hypotheses. Experiments demonstrate that our algorithm is competitive with state of the art approaches on a standard dataset covering text in variable orientations and two languages.

Title Facial expression recognition using tracked facial actions: Classifier performance analysis Type Journal Article
Year 2013 Publication Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence Abbreviated Journal EAAI
Volume 26 Issue 1 Pages (down) 467-477
Keywords Visual face tracking; 3D deformable models; Facial actions; Dynamic facial expression recognition; Human–computer interaction
Abstract In this paper, we address the analysis and recognition of facial expressions in continuous videos. More precisely, we study classifiers performance that exploit head pose independent temporal facial action parameters. These are provided by an appearance-based 3D face tracker that simultaneously provides the 3D head pose and facial actions. The use of such tracker makes the recognition pose- and texture-independent. Two different schemes are studied. The first scheme adopts a dynamic time warping technique for recognizing expressions where training data are given by temporal signatures associated with different universal facial expressions. The second scheme models temporal signatures associated with facial actions with fixed length feature vectors (observations), and uses some machine learning algorithms in order to recognize the displayed expression. Experiments quantified the performance of different schemes. These were carried out on CMU video sequences and home-made video sequences. The results show that the use of dimension reduction techniques on the extracted time series can improve the classification performance. Moreover, these experiments show that the best recognition rate can be above 90%.

Title Learning a Multiview Part-based Model in Virtual World for Pedestrian Detection Type Conference Article
Year 2013 Publication IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages (down) 467 - 472
Keywords Pedestrian Detection; Virtual World; Part based
Abstract State-of-the-art deformable part-based models based on latent SVM have shown excellent results on human detection. In this paper, we propose to train a multiview deformable part-based model with automatically generated part examples from virtual-world data. The method is efficient as: (i) the part detectors are trained with precisely extracted virtual examples, thus no latent learning is needed, (ii) the multiview pedestrian detector enhances the performance of the pedestrian root model, (iii) a top-down approach is used for part detection which reduces the searching space. We evaluate our model on Daimler and Karlsruhe Pedestrian Benchmarks with publicly available Caltech pedestrian detection evaluation framework and the result outperforms the state-of-the-art latent SVM V4.0, on both average miss rate and speed (our detector is ten times faster).

Title Appearance-based Face Recognition Using A Supervised Manifold Learning Framework Type Conference Article
Year 2012 Publication IEEE Workshop on the Applications of Computer Vision Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages (down) 465-470
Keywords
Abstract Many natural image sets, depicting objects whose appearance is changing due to motion, pose or light variations, can be considered samples of a low-dimension nonlinear manifold embedded in the high-dimensional observation space (the space of all possible images). The main contribution of our work is represented by a Supervised Laplacian Eigemaps (S-LE) algorithm, which exploits the class label information for mapping the original data in the embedded space. Our proposed approach benefits from two important properties: i) it is discriminative, and ii) it adaptively selects the neighbors of a sample without using any predefined neighborhood size. Experiments were conducted on four face databases and the results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm significantly outperforms many linear and non-linear embedding techniques. Although we've focused on the face recognition problem, the proposed approach could also be extended to other category of objects characterized by large variance in their appearance.

Title A Preliminary Study of Image Analysis for Parasite Detection on Honey Bees Type Conference Article
Year 2018 Publication 15th International Conference on Image Analysis and Recognition Abbreviated Journal
Volume 10882 Issue Pages (down) 465-473
Keywords
Abstract Varroa destructor is a parasite harming bee colonies. As the worldwide bee population is in danger, beekeepers as well as researchers are looking for methods to monitor the health of bee hives. In this context, we present a preliminary study to detect parasites on bee videos by means of image analysis and machine learning techniques. For this purpose, each video frame is analyzed individually to extract bee image patches, which are then processed to compute image descriptors and finally classified into mite and no mite bees. The experimental results demonstrated the adequacy of the proposed method, which will be a perfect stepping stone for a further bee monitoring system.

Title Color Contribution to Part-Based Person Detection in Different Types of Scenarios Type Conference Article
Year 2011 Publication 14th International Conference on Computer Analysis of Images and Patterns Abbreviated Journal
Volume 6855 Issue II Pages (down) 463-470
Keywords Pedestrian Detection; Color
Abstract Camera-based person detection is of paramount interest due to its potential applications. The task is diffcult because the great variety of backgrounds (scenarios, illumination) in which persons are present, as well as their intra-class variability (pose, clothe, occlusion). In fact, the class person is one of the included in the popular PASCAL visual object classes (VOC) challenge. A breakthrough for this challenge, regarding person detection, is due to Felzenszwalb et al. These authors proposed a part-based detector that relies on histograms of oriented gradients (HOG) and latent support vector machines (LatSVM) to learn a model of the whole human body and its constitutive parts, as well as their relative position. Since the approach of Felzenszwalb et al. appeared new variants have been proposed, usually giving rise to more complex models. In this paper, we focus on an issue that has not attracted suficient interest up to now. In particular, we refer to the fact that HOG is usually computed from RGB color space, but other possibilities exist and deserve the corresponding investigation. In this paper we challenge RGB space with the opponent color space (OPP), which is inspired in the human vision system.We will compute the HOG on top of OPP, then we train and test the part-based human classifer by Felzenszwalb et al. using PASCAL VOC challenge protocols and person database. Our experiments demonstrate that OPP outperforms RGB. We also investigate possible differences among types of scenarios: indoor, urban and countryside. Interestingly, our experiments suggest that the beneficts of OPP with respect to RGB mainly come for indoor and countryside scenarios, those in which the human visual system was designed by evolution.

Title DAcImPro: A Novel Database of Acquired Image Projections and Its Application to Object Recognition Type Conference Article
Year 2015 Publication Advances in Visual Computing. Proceedings of 11th International Symposium, ISVC 2015 Part II Abbreviated Journal
Volume 9475 Issue Pages (down) 463-473
Keywords Projector-camera systems; Feature descriptors; Object recognition
Abstract Projector-camera systems are designed to improve the projection quality by comparing original images with their captured projections, which is usually complicated due to high photometric and geometric variations. Many research works address this problem using their own test data which makes it extremely difficult to compare different proposals. This paper has two main contributions. Firstly, we introduce a new database of acquired image projections (DAcImPro) that, covering photometric and geometric conditions and providing data for ground-truth computation, can serve to evaluate different algorithms in projector-camera systems. Secondly, a new object recognition scenario from acquired projections is presented, which could be of a great interest in such domains, as home video projections and public presentations. We show that the task is more challenging than the classical recognition problem and thus requires additional pre-processing, such as color compensation or projection area selection.

Title FairFace Challenge at ECCV 2020: Analyzing Bias in Face Recognition Type Conference Article
Year 2020 Publication ECCV Workshops Abbreviated Journal
Volume 12540 Issue Pages (down) 463-481
Keywords
Abstract This work summarizes the 2020 ChaLearn Looking at People Fair Face Recognition and Analysis Challenge and provides a description of the top-winning solutions and analysis of the results. The aim of the challenge was to evaluate accuracy and bias in gender and skin colour of submitted algorithms on the task of 1:1 face verification in the presence of other confounding attributes. Participants were evaluated using an in-the-wild dataset based on reannotated IJB-C, further enriched 12.5K new images and additional labels. The dataset is not balanced, which simulates a real world scenario where AI-based models supposed to present fair outcomes are trained and evaluated on imbalanced data. The challenge attracted 151 participants, who made more 1.8K submissions in total. The final phase of the challenge attracted 36 active teams out of which 10 exceeded 0.999 AUC-ROC while achieving very low scores in the proposed bias metrics. Common strategies by the participants were face pre-processing, homogenization of data distributions, the use of bias aware loss functions and ensemble models. The analysis of top-10 teams shows higher false positive rates (and lower false negative rates) for females with dark skin tone as well as the potential of eyeglasses and young age to increase the false positive rates too.

Abstract Post Conference IEEE-IS 2008
The Chagas’ disease is endemic in all Latin America, affecting millions of people in the continent. In order to diagnose and treat the chagas’ disease, it is important to detect and measure the coronary damage of the patient. In this paper,
we analyze and categorize patients into different groups based on the coronary damage produced by the disease. Based on the features of the heart cycle extracted using high resolution ECG, a multi-class scheme of Error-Correcting Output Codes (ECOC)is formulated and successfully applied. The results show that the proposed scheme obtains significant performance improvements compared to previous works and state-of-the-art ECOC designs.

Title Do We Really Need All These Neurons? Type Conference Article
Year 2013 Publication 6th Iberian Conference on Pattern Recognition and Image Analysis Abbreviated Journal
Volume 7887 Issue Pages (down) 460--467
Keywords Retricted Boltzmann Machine; hidden units; unsupervised learning; classification
Abstract Restricted Boltzmann Machines (RBMs) are generative neural networks that have received much attention recently. In particular, choosing the appropriate number of hidden units is important as it might hinder their representative power. According to the literature, RBM require numerous hidden units to approximate any distribution properly. In this paper, we present an experiment to determine whether such amount of hidden units is required in a classification context. We then propose an incremental algorithm that trains RBM reusing the previously trained parameters using a trade-off measure to determine the appropriate number of hidden units. Results on the MNIST and OCR letters databases show that using a number of hidden units, which is one order of magnitude smaller than the literature estimate, suffices to achieve similar performance. Moreover, the proposed algorithm allows to estimate the required number of hidden units without the need of training many RBM from scratch.

Title Road Geometry Classification by Adaptative Shape Models Type Journal Article
Year 2013 Publication IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems Abbreviated Journal TITS
Volume 14 Issue 1 Pages (down) 459-468
Keywords road detection
Abstract Vision-based road detection is important for different applications in transportation, such as autonomous driving, vehicle collision warning, and pedestrian crossing detection. Common approaches to road detection are based on low-level road appearance (e.g., color or texture) and neglect of the scene geometry and context. Hence, using only low-level features makes these algorithms highly depend on structured roads, road homogeneity, and lighting conditions. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to classify road geometries for road detection through the analysis of scene composition and temporal coherence. Road geometry classification is proposed by building corresponding models from training images containing prototypical road geometries. We propose adaptive shape models where spatial pyramids are steered by the inherent spatial structure of road images. To reduce the influence of lighting variations, invariant features are used. Large-scale experiments show that the proposed road geometry classifier yields a high recognition rate of 73.57% ± 13.1, clearly outperforming other state-of-the-art methods. Including road shape information improves road detection results over existing appearance-based methods. Finally, it is shown that invariant features and temporal information provide robustness against disturbing imaging conditions.

Volume 8925 Issue Pages (down) 459-473
Keywords Human Pose Recovery; Behavior Analysis; Action and in- teractions; Multi-modal gestures; recognition
Abstract This paper summarizes the ChaLearn Looking at People 2014 challenge data and the results obtained by the participants. The competition was split into three independent tracks: human pose recovery from RGB data, action and interaction recognition from RGB data sequences, and multi-modal gesture recognition from RGB-Depth sequences. For all the tracks, the goal was to perform user-independent recognition in sequences of continuous images using the overlapping Jaccard index as the evaluation measure. In this edition of the ChaLearn challenge, two large novel data sets were made publicly available and the Microsoft Codalab platform were used to manage the competition. Outstanding results were achieved in the three challenge tracks, with accuracy results of 0.20, 0.50, and 0.85 for pose recovery, action/interaction recognition, and multi-modal gesture recognition, respectively.
