	Title	Inferring competitive role patterns in reality TV show through nonverbal analysis			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2012	Publication	Multimedia Tools and Applications	Abbreviated Journal	MTAP
	Volume	56	Issue	1	Pages	207-226
	Keywords
	Abstract	This paper introduces a new facet of social media, namely that depicting social interaction. More concretely, we address this problem from the perspective of nonverbal behavior-based analysis of competitive meetings. For our study, we made use of “The Apprentice” reality TV show, which features a competition for a real, highly paid corporate job. Our analysis is centered around two tasks regarding a person's role in a meeting: predicting the person with the highest status, and predicting the fired candidates. We address this problem by adopting both supervised and unsupervised strategies. The current study was carried out using nonverbal audio cues. Our approach is based only on the nonverbal interaction dynamics during the meeting without relying on the spoken words. The analysis is based on two types of data: individual and relational measures. Results obtained from the analysis of a full season of the show are promising (up to 85.7% of accuracy in the first case and up to 92.8% in the second case). Our approach has been conveniently compared with the Influence Model, demonstrating its superiority.

	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	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	Synthetic ground truth dataset to detect shadow cast by static objects in outdoor			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2012	Publication	1st International Workshop on Visual Interfaces for Ground Truth Collection in Computer Vision Applications	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages	art. 11
	Keywords
	Abstract	In this paper, we propose a precise synthetic ground truth dataset to study the problem of detection of the shadows cast by static objects in outdoor environments during extended periods of time (days). For our dataset, we have created a virtual scenario using a rendering software. To increase the realism of the simulated environment, we have defined the scenario in a precise geographical location. In our dataset the sun is by far the main illumination source. The sun position during the simulation time takes into consideration factors related to the geographical location, such as the latitude, longitude, elevation above sea level, and precise image capturing day and time. In our simulation the camera remains fixed. The dataset consists of seven days of simulation, from 10:00am to 5:00pm. Images are captured every 10 seconds. The shadows' ground truth is automatically computed by the rendering software.

	Title	A search based approach to non maximum suppression in face detection			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2012	Publication	19th IEEE International Conference on Image Processing	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages
	Keywords
	Abstract	Poster paper TA.P5.12 Face detectors typically produce a large number of false positives and this leads to the need to have a further non maximum suppression stage to eliminate multiple and spurious responses. This stage is based on considering spatial heuristics: true positive responses are selected by implicitly considering several restrictions on the spatial distribution of detector responses in natural images. In this paper we analyze the limitations of this approach and propose an efficient search method to overcome them. Results show how the application of this new non-maximum suppression approach to a simple face detector boosts its performance to state of the art results.

	Title	The Role of Facial Regions in Evaluating Social Dime			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2012	Publication	12th European Conference on Computer Vision – Workshops and Demonstrations	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume	7584	Issue	II	Pages	210-219
	Keywords	Workshops and Demonstrations
	Abstract	Facial trait judgments are an important information cue for people. Recent works in the Psychology field have stated the basis of face evaluation, defining a set of traits that we evaluate from faces (e.g. dominance, trustworthiness, aggressiveness, attractiveness, threatening or intelligence among others). We rapidly infer information from others faces, usually after a short period of time (< 1000ms) we perceive a certain degree of dominance or trustworthiness of another person from the face. Although these perceptions are not necessarily accurate, they influence many important social outcomes (such as the results of the elections or the court decisions). This topic has also attracted the attention of Computer Vision scientists, and recently a computational model to automatically predict trait evaluations from faces has been proposed. These systems try to mimic the human perception by means of applying machine learning classifiers to a set of labeled data. In this paper we perform an experimental study on the specific facial features that trigger the social inferences. Using previous results from the literature, we propose to use simple similarity maps to evaluate which regions of the face influence the most the trait inferences. The correlation analysis is performed using only appearance, and the results from the experiments suggest that each trait is correlated with specific facial characteristics.

	Title	Evaluation of Intrinsic Image Algorithms to Detect the Shadows Cast by Static Objects Outdoors			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2012	Publication	Sensors	Abbreviated Journal	SENS
	Volume	12	Issue	10	Pages	13333-13348
	Keywords
	Abstract	In some automatic scene analysis applications, the presence of shadows becomes a nuisance that is necessary to deal with. As a consequence, a preliminary stage in many computer vision algorithms is to attenuate their effect. In this paper, we focus our attention on the detection of shadows cast by static objects outdoors, as the scene is viewed for extended periods of time (days, weeks) from a fixed camera and considering daylight intervals where the main source of light is the sun. In this context, we report two contributions. First, we introduce the use of synthetic images for which ground truth can be generated automatically, avoiding the tedious effort of manual annotation. Secondly, we report a novel application of the intrinsic image concept to the automatic detection of shadows cast by static objects in outdoors. We make both a quantitative and a qualitative evaluation of several algorithms based on this image representation. For the quantitative evaluation, we used the synthetic data set, while for the qualitative evaluation we used both data sets. Our experimental results show that the evaluated methods can partially solve the problem of shadow detection.

	Title	Automatic Dimensionality Estimation for Manifold Learning through Optimal Feature Selection			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2012	Publication	Structural, Syntactic, and Statistical Pattern Recognition, Joint IAPR International Workshop	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume	7626	Issue		Pages	575-583
	Keywords
	Abstract	A very important aspect in manifold learning is represented by automatic estimation of the intrinsic dimensionality. Unfortunately, this problem has received few attention in the literature of manifold learning. In this paper, we argue that feature selection paradigm can be used to the problem of automatic dimensionality estimation. Besides this, it also leads to improved recognition rates. Our approach for optimal feature selection is based on a Genetic Algorithm. As a case study for manifold learning, we have considered Laplacian Eigenmaps (LE) and Locally Linear Embedding (LLE). The effectiveness of the proposed framework was tested on the face recognition problem. Extensive experiments carried out on ORL, UMIST, Yale, and Extended Yale face data sets confirmed our hypothesis.

	Title	Out-of-Sample Embedding by Sparse Representation			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2012	Publication	Structural, Syntactic, and Statistical Pattern Recognition, Joint IAPR International Workshop	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume	7626	Issue		Pages	336-344
	Keywords
	Abstract	A critical aspect of non-linear dimensionality reduction techniques is represented by the construction of the adjacency graph. The difficulty resides in finding the optimal parameters, a process which, in general, is heuristically driven. Recently, sparse representation has been proposed as a non-parametric solution to overcome this problem. In this paper, we demonstrate that this approach not only serves for the graph construction, but also represents an efficient and accurate alternative for out-of-sample embedding. Considering for a case study the Laplacian Eigenmaps, we applied our method to the face recognition problem. Experimental results conducted on some challenging datasets confirmed the robustness of our approach and its superiority when compared to existing techniques.

	Title	Pose-Invariant Face Recognition in Videos for Human-Machine Interaction			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2012	Publication	12th European Conference on Computer Vision	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume	7584	Issue		Pages	566.575
	Keywords
	Abstract	Human-machine interaction is a hot topic nowadays in the communities of computer vision and robotics. In this context, face recognition algorithms (used as primary cue for a person’s identity assessment) work well under controlled conditions but degrade significantly when tested in real-world environments. This is mostly due to the difficulty of simultaneously handling variations in illumination, pose, and occlusions. In this paper, we propose a novel approach for robust pose-invariant face recognition for human-robot interaction based on the real-time fitting of a 3D deformable model to input images taken from video sequences. More concrete, our approach generates a rectified face image irrespective with the actual head-pose orientation. Experimental results performed on Honda video database, using several manifold learning techniques, show a distinct advantage of the proposed method over the standard 2D appearance-based snapshot approach.

	Title	A Supervised Non-linear Dimensionality Reduction Approach for Manifold Learning			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2012	Publication	Pattern Recognition	Abbreviated Journal	PR
	Volume	45	Issue	6	Pages	2432-2444
	Keywords
	Abstract	IF= 2.61 IF=2.61 (2010) In this paper we introduce a novel supervised manifold learning technique called Supervised Laplacian Eigenmaps (S-LE), which makes use of class label information to guide the procedure of non-linear dimensionality reduction by adopting the large margin concept. The graph Laplacian is split into two components: within-class graph and between-class graph to better characterize the discriminant property of the data. Our approach has two important characteristics: (i) it adaptively estimates the local neighborhood surrounding each sample based on data density and similarity and (ii) the objective function simultaneously maximizes the local margin between heterogeneous samples and pushes the homogeneous samples closer to each other. Our approach has been tested on several challenging face databases and it has been conveniently compared with other linear and non-linear techniques, demonstrating its superiority. Although we have concentrated in this paper on the face recognition problem, the proposed approach could also be applied to other category of objects characterized by large variations in their appearance (such as hand or body pose, for instance.

	Title	Depth Information in Human Gait Analysis: An Experimental Study on Gender Recognition			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2012	Publication	9th International Conference on Image Analysis and Recognition	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume	7325	Issue	II	Pages	98-105
	Keywords
	Abstract	This work presents DGait, a new gait database acquired with a depth camera. This database contains videos from 53 subjects walking in different directions. The intent of this database is to provide a public set to explore whether the depth can be used as an additional information source for gait classification purposes. Each video is labelled according to subject, gender and age. Furthermore, for each subject and view point, we provide initial and final frames of an entire walk cycle. On the other hand, we perform gait-based gender classification experiments with DGait database, in order to illustrate the usefulness of depth information for this purpose. In our experiments, we extract 2D and 3D gait features based on shape descriptors, and compare the performance of these features for gender identification, using a Kernel SVM. The obtained results show that depth can be an information source of great relevance for gait classification problems.

	Title	Sketchable Histograms of Oriented Gradients for Object Detection			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2012	Publication	17th Iberomerican Conference on Pattern Recognition	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume	7441	Issue		Pages	374-381
	Keywords
	Abstract	In this paper we investigate a new representation approach for visual object recognition. The new representation, called sketchable-HoG, extends the classical histogram of oriented gradients (HoG) feature by adding two different aspects: the stability of the majority orientation and the continuity of gradient orientations. In this way, the sketchable-HoG locally characterizes the complexity of an object model and introduces global structure information while still keeping simplicity, compactness and robustness. We evaluated the proposed image descriptor on publicly Catltech 101 dataset. The obtained results outperforms classical HoG descriptor as well as other reported descriptors in the literature.
