Title Vehicle geolocalization based on video synchronization Type Conference Article
Year 2010 Publication (up) 13th Annual International Conference on Intelligent Transportation Systems Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 1511–1516
Keywords video alignment
Abstract TC8.6
This paper proposes a novel method for estimating the geospatial localization of a vehicle. I uses as input a georeferenced video sequence recorded by a forward-facing camera attached to the windscreen. The core of the proposed method is an on-line video synchronization which finds out the corresponding frame in the georeferenced video sequence to the one recorded at each time by the camera on a second drive through the same track. Once found the corresponding frame in the georeferenced video sequence, we transfer its geospatial information of this frame. The key advantages of this method are: 1) the increase of the update rate and the geospatial accuracy with regard to a standard low-cost GPS and 2) the ability to localize a vehicle even when a GPS is not available or is not reliable enough, like in certain urban areas. Experimental results for an urban environments are presented, showing an average of relative accuracy of 1.5 meters.

Title Vision-based road detection via on-line video registration Type Conference Article
Year 2010 Publication (up) 13th Annual International Conference on Intelligent Transportation Systems Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 1135–1140
Keywords video alignment; road detection
Abstract TB6.2
Road segmentation is an essential functionality for supporting advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) such as road following and vehicle and pedestrian detection. Significant efforts have been made in order to solve this task using vision-based techniques. The major challenge is to deal with lighting variations and the presence of objects on the road surface. In this paper, we propose a new road detection method to infer the areas of the image depicting road surfaces without performing any image segmentation. The idea is to previously segment manually or semi-automatically the road region in a traffic-free reference video record on a first drive. And then to transfer these regions to the frames of a second video sequence acquired later in a second drive through the same road, in an on-line manner. This is possible because we are able to automatically align the two videos in time and space, that is, to synchronize them and warp each frame of the first video to its corresponding frame in the second one. The geometric transform can thus transfer the road region to the present frame on-line. In order to reduce the different lighting conditions which are present in outdoor scenarios, our approach incorporates a shadowless feature space which represents an image in an illuminant-invariant feature space. Furthermore, we propose a dynamic background subtraction algorithm which removes the regions containing vehicles in the observed frames which are within the transferred road region.

Title Continuous Supervised Descent Method for Facial Landmark Localisation Type Conference Article
Year 2016 Publication (up) 13th Asian Conference on Computer Vision Abbreviated Journal
Volume 10112 Issue Pages 121-135
Keywords
Abstract Recent methods for facial landmark location perform well on close-to-frontal faces but have problems in generalising to large head rotations. In order to address this issue we propose a second order linear regression method that is both compact and robust against strong rotations. We provide a closed form solution, making the method fast to train. We test the method’s performance on two challenging datasets. The first has been intensely used by the community. The second has been specially generated from a well known 3D face dataset. It is considerably more challenging, including a high diversity of rotations and more samples than any other existing public dataset. The proposed method is compared against state-of-the-art approaches, including RCPR, CGPRT, LBF, CFSS, and GSDM. Results upon both datasets show that the proposed method offers state-of-the-art performance on near frontal view data, improves state-of-the-art methods on more challenging head rotation problems and keeps a compact model size.

Title A new image centrality descriptor for wrinkle frame detection in WCE videos Type Conference Article
Year 2013 Publication (up) 13th IAPR Conference on Machine Vision Applications Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords
Abstract Small bowel motility dysfunctions are a widespread functional disorder characterized by abdominal pain and altered bowel habits in the absence of specific and unique organic pathology. Current methods of diagnosis are complex and can only be conducted at some highly specialized referral centers. Wireless Video Capsule Endoscopy (WCE) could be an interesting diagnostic alternative that presents excellent clinical advantages, since it is non-invasive and can be conducted by non specialists. The purpose of this work is to present a new method for the detection of wrinkle frames in WCE, a critical characteristic to detect one of the main motility events: contractions. The method goes beyond the use of one of the classical image feature, the Histogram

Title Gradient Histogram Background Modeling for People Detection in Stationary Camera Environments Type Conference Article
Year 2013 Publication (up) 13th IAPR Conference on Machine Vision Applications Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords
Abstract Best Poster AwardOne of the big challenges of today person detectors is the decreasing of the false positive rate. In this paper, we propose a novel framework to customize person detectors in static camera scenarios in order to reduce this rate. This scheme includes background modeling for subtraction based on gradient histograms and Mean-Shift clustering. Our experiments show that the detection improved compared to using only the output from the pedestrian detector reducing 87% of the false positives and therefore the overall precision of the detection
was increased signi cantly.

Title Cutting Sayre's Knot: Reading Scene Text without Segmentation. Application to Utility Meters Type Conference Article
Year 2018 Publication (up) 13th IAPR International Workshop on Document Analysis Systems Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 97-102
Keywords Robust Reading; End-to-end Systems; CNN; Utility Meters
Abstract In this paper we present a segmentation-free system for reading text in natural scenes. A CNN architecture is trained in an end-to-end manner, and is able to directly output readings without any explicit text localization step. In order to validate our proposal, we focus on the specific case of reading utility meters. We present our results in a large dataset of images acquired by different users and devices, so text appears in any location, with different sizes, fonts and lengths, and the images present several distortions such as
dirt, illumination highlights or blur.

Title Manuscript text line detection and segmentation using second-order derivatives analysis Type Conference Article
Year 2018 Publication (up) 13th IAPR International Workshop on Document Analysis Systems Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 293 - 298
Keywords text line detection; text line segmentation; text region detection; second-order derivatives
Abstract In this paper, we explore the use of second-order derivatives to detect text lines on handwritten document images. Taking advantage that the second derivative gives a minimum response when a dark linear element over a
bright background has the same orientation as the filter, we use this operator to create a map with the local orientation and strength of putative text lines in the document. Then, we detect line segments by selecting and merging the filter responses that have a similar orientation and scale. Finally, text lines are found by merging the segments that are within the same text region. The proposed segmentation algorithm, is learning-free while showing a performance similar to the state of the art methods in publicly available datasets.

Title Synthetically generated semantic codebook for Bag-of-Visual-Words based word spotting Type Conference Article
Year 2018 Publication (up) 13th IAPR International Workshop on Document Analysis Systems Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 223 - 228
Keywords Word Spotting; Bag of Visual Words; Synthetic Codebook; Semantic Information
Abstract Word-spotting methods based on the Bag-ofVisual-Words framework have demonstrated a good retrieval performance even when used in a completely unsupervised manner. Although unsupervised approaches are suitable for
large document collections due to the cost of acquiring labeled data, these methods also present some drawbacks. For instance, having to train a suitable “codebook” for a certain dataset has a high computational cost. Therefore, in
this paper we present a database agnostic codebook which is trained from synthetic data. The aim of the proposed approach is to generate a codebook where the only information required is the type of script used in the document. The use of synthetic data also allows to easily incorporate semantic
information in the codebook generation. So, the proposed method is able to determine which set of codewords have a semantic representation of the descriptor feature space. Experimental results show that the resulting codebook attains a state-of-the-art performance while having a more compact representation.

Title Field Extraction by hybrid incremental and a-priori structural templates Type Conference Article
Year 2018 Publication (up) 13th IAPR International Workshop on Document Analysis Systems Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 251 - 256
Keywords Layout Analysis; information extraction; incremental learning
Abstract In this paper, we present an incremental framework for extracting information fields from administrative documents. First, we demonstrate some limits of the existing state-of-the-art methods such as the delay of the system efficiency. This is a concern in industrial context when we have only few samples of each document class. Based on this analysis, we propose a hybrid system combining incremental learning by means of itf-df statistics and a-priori generic
models. We report in the experimental section our results obtained with a dataset of real invoices.

Title Joint Recognition of Handwritten Text and Named Entities with a Neural End-to-end Model Type Conference Article
Year 2018 Publication (up) 13th IAPR International Workshop on Document Analysis Systems Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 399-404
Keywords Named entity recognition; Handwritten Text Recognition; neural networks
Abstract When extracting information from handwritten documents, text transcription and named entity recognition are usually faced as separate subsequent tasks. This has the disadvantage that errors in the first module affect heavily the
performance of the second module. In this work we propose to do both tasks jointly, using a single neural network with a common architecture used for plain text recognition. Experimentally, the work has been tested on a collection of historical marriage records. Results of experiments are presented to show the effect on the performance for different
configurations: different ways of encoding the information, doing or not transfer learning and processing at text line or multi-line region level. The results are comparable to state of the art reported in the ICDAR 2017 Information Extraction competition, even though the proposed technique does not use any dictionaries, language modeling or post processing.

Title Shoot less and Sketch more: An Efficient Sketch Classification via Joining Graph Neural Networks and Few-shot Learning Type Conference Article
Year 2019 Publication (up) 13th IAPR International Workshop on Graphics Recognition Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 80-85
Keywords Sketch classification; Convolutional Neural Network; Graph Neural Network; Few-shot learning
Abstract With the emergence of the touchpad devices and drawing tablets, a new era of sketching started afresh. However, the recognition of sketches is still a tough task due to the variability of the drawing styles. Moreover, in some application scenarios there is few labelled data available for training,
which imposes a limitation for deep learning architectures. In addition, in many cases there is a need to generate models able to adapt to new classes. In order to cope with these limitations, we propose a method based on few-shot learning and graph neural networks for classifying sketches aiming for an efficient neural model. We test our approach with several databases of
sketches, showing promising results.

Title Deep Multimodal Pain Recognition: A Database and Comparision of Spatio-Temporal Visual Modalities, Faces and Gestures Type Conference Article
Year 2018 Publication (up) 13th IEEE Conference on Automatic Face and Gesture Recognition Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 250 - 257
Keywords
Abstract Pain is a symptom of many disorders associated with actual or potential tissue damage in human body. Managing pain is not only a duty but also highly cost prone. The most primitive state of pain management is the assessment of pain. Traditionally it was accomplished by self-report or visual inspection by experts. However, automatic pain assessment systems from facial videos are also rapidly evolving due to the need of managing pain in a robust and cost effective way. Among different challenges of automatic pain assessment from facial video data two issues are increasingly prevalent: first, exploiting both spatial and temporal information of the face to assess pain level, and second, incorporating multiple visual modalities to capture complementary face information related to pain. Most works in the literature focus on merely exploiting spatial information on chromatic (RGB) video data on shallow learning scenarios. However, employing deep learning techniques for spatio-temporal analysis considering Depth (D) and Thermal (T) along with RGB has high potential in this area. In this paper, we present the first state-of-the-art publicly available database, 'Multimodal Intensity Pain (MIntPAIN)' database, for RGBDT pain level recognition in sequences. We provide a first baseline results including 5 pain levels recognition by analyzing independent visual modalities and their fusion with CNN and LSTM models. From the experimental evaluation we observe that fusion of modalities helps to enhance recognition performance of pain levels in comparison to isolated ones. In particular, the combination of RGB, D, and T in an early fusion fashion achieved the best recognition rate.

Title Object Recoloring Based on Intrinsic Image Estimation Type Conference Article
Year 2011 Publication (up) 13th IEEE International Conference in Computer Vision Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 327 - 334
Keywords
Abstract Object recoloring is one of the most popular photo-editing tasks. The problem of object recoloring is highly under-constrained, and existing recoloring methods limit their application to objects lit by a white illuminant. Application of these methods to real-world scenes lit by colored illuminants, multiple illuminants, or interreflections, results in unrealistic recoloring of objects. In this paper, we focus on the recoloring of single-colored objects presegmented from their background. The single-color constraint allows us to fit a more comprehensive physical model to the object. We demonstrate that this permits us to perform realistic recoloring of objects lit by non-white illuminants, and multiple illuminants. Moreover, the model allows for more realistic handling of illuminant alteration of the scene. Recoloring results captured by uncalibrated cameras demonstrate that the proposed framework obtains realistic recoloring for complex natural images. Furthermore we use the model to transfer color between objects and show that the results are more realistic than existing color transfer methods.

Title Segmentation as Selective Search for Object Recognition Type Conference Article
Year 2011 Publication (up) 13th IEEE International Conference on Computer Vision Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 1879-1886
Keywords
Abstract For object recognition, the current state-of-the-art is based on exhaustive search. However, to enable the use of more expensive features and classifiers and thereby progress beyond the state-of-the-art, a selective search strategy is needed. Therefore, we adapt segmentation as a selective search by reconsidering segmentation: We propose to generate many approximate locations over few and precise object delineations because (1) an object whose location is never generated can not be recognised and (2) appearance and immediate nearby context are most effective for object recognition. Our method is class-independent and is shown to cover 96.7% of all objects in the Pascal VOC 2007 test set using only 1,536 locations per image. Our selective search enables the use of the more expensive bag-of-words method which we use to substantially improve the state-of-the-art by up to 8.5% for 8 out of 20 classes on the Pascal VOC 2010 detection challenge.
