Title Document segmentation using relative location features Type Conference Article
Year 2012 Publication (down) 21st International Conference on Pattern Recognition Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 1562-1565
Keywords
Abstract In this paper we evaluate the use of Relative Location Features (RLF) on a historical document segmentation task, and compare the quality of the results obtained on structured and unstructured documents using RLF and not using them. We prove that using these features improve the final segmentation on documents with a strong structure, while their application on unstructured documents does not show significant improvement. Although this paper is not focused on segmenting unstructured documents, results obtained on a benchmark dataset are equal or even overcome previous results of similar works.

Title Long-Short Term Memory Neural Networks Language Modeling for Handwriting Recognition Type Conference Article
Year 2012 Publication (down) 21st International Conference on Pattern Recognition Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 701-704
Keywords
Abstract Unconstrained handwritten text recognition systems maximize the combination of two separate probability scores. The first one is the observation probability that indicates how well the returned word sequence matches the input image. The second score is the probability that reflects how likely a word sequence is according to a language model. Current state-of-the-art recognition systems use statistical language models in form of bigram word probabilities. This paper proposes to model the target language by means of a recurrent neural network with long-short term memory cells. Because the network is recurrent, the considered context is not limited to a fixed size especially as the memory cells are designed to deal with long-term dependencies. In a set of experiments conducted on the IAM off-line database we show the superiority of the proposed language model over statistical n-gram models.

Title BoVDW: Bag-of-Visual-and-Depth-Words for Gesture Recognition Type Conference Article
Year 2012 Publication (down) 21st International Conference on Pattern Recognition Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords
Abstract We present a Bag-of-Visual-and-Depth-Words (BoVDW) model for gesture recognition, an extension of the Bag-of-Visual-Words (BoVW) model, that benefits from the multimodal fusion of visual and depth features. State-of-the-art RGB and depth features, including a new proposed depth descriptor, are analysed and combined in a late fusion fashion. The method is integrated in a continuous gesture recognition pipeline, where Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) algorithm is used to perform prior segmentation of gestures. Results of the method in public data sets, within our gesture recognition pipeline, show better performance in comparison to a standard BoVW model.

Title Combination of Product Graph and Random Walk Kernel for Symbol Spotting in Graphical Documents Type Conference Article
Year 2012 Publication (down) 21st International Conference on Pattern Recognition Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 1663-1666
Keywords
Abstract This paper explores the utilization of product graph for spotting symbols on graphical documents. Product graph is intended to find the candidate subgraphs or components in the input graph containing the paths similar to the query graph. The acute angle between two edges and their length ratio are considered as the node labels. In a second step, each of the candidate subgraphs in the input graph is assigned with a distance measure computed by a random walk kernel. Actually it is the minimum of the distances of the component to all the components of the model graph. This distance measure is then used to eliminate dissimilar components. The remaining neighboring components are grouped and the grouped zone is considered as a retrieval zone of a symbol similar to the queried one. The entire method works online, i.e., it doesn't need any preprocessing step. The present paper reports the initial results of the method, which are very encouraging.

Title Text/graphic separation using a sparse representation with multi-learned dictionaries Type Conference Article
Year 2012 Publication (down) 21st International Conference on Pattern Recognition Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords Graphics Recognition; Layout Analysis; Document Understandin
Abstract In this paper, we propose a new approach to extract text regions from graphical documents. In our method, we first empirically construct two sequences of learned dictionaries for the text and graphical parts respectively. Then, we compute the sparse representations of all different sizes and non-overlapped document patches in these learned dictionaries. Based on these representations, each patch can be classified into the text or graphic category by comparing its reconstruction errors. Same-sized patches in one category are then merged together to define the corresponding text or graphic layers which are combined to createfinal text/graphic layer. Finally, in a post-processing step, text regions are further filtered out by using some learned thresholds.

Title Edge Classification using Photo-Geo metric features Type Conference Article
Year 2012 Publication (down) 21st International Conference on Pattern Recognition Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 1497 - 1500
Keywords
Abstract Edges are caused by several imaging cues such as shadow, material and illumination transitions. Classification methods have been proposed which are solely based on photometric information, ignoring geometry to classify the physical nature of edges in images. In this paper, the aim is to present a novel strategy to handle both photometric and geometric information for edge classification. Photometric information is obtained through the use of quasi-invariants while geometric information is derived from the orientation and contrast of edges. Different combination frameworks are compared with a new principled approach that captures both information into the same descriptor. From large scale experiments on different datasets, it is shown that, in addition to photometric information, the geometry of edges is an important visual cue to distinguish between different edge types. It is concluded that by combining both cues the performance improves by more than 7% for shadows and highlights.

Title 3D Human Pose Estimation Using 2D Body Part Detectors Type Conference Article
Year 2012 Publication (down) 21st International Conference on Pattern Recognition Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 2484 - 2487
Keywords
Abstract Automatic 3D reconstruction of human poses from monocular images is a challenging and popular topic in the computer vision community, which provides a wide range of applications in multiple areas. Solutions for 3D pose estimation involve various learning approaches, such as support vector machines and Gaussian processes, but many encounter difficulties in cluttered scenarios and require additional input data, such as silhouettes, or controlled camera settings. We present a framework that is capable of estimating the 3D pose of a person from single images or monocular image sequences without requiring background information and which is robust to camera variations. The framework models the non-linearity present in human pose estimation as it benefits from flexible learning approaches, including a highly customizable 2D detector. Results on the HumanEva benchmark show how they perform and influence the quality of the 3D pose estimates.

Title Synthetic ground truth dataset to detect shadow cast by static objects in outdoor Type Conference Article
Year 2012 Publication (down) 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 An Integrated Approach to Contextual Face Detection Type Conference Article
Year 2012 Publication (down) 1st International Conference on Pattern Recognition Applications and Methods Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 143-150
Keywords
Abstract Face detection is, in general, based on content-based detectors. Nevertheless, the face is a non-rigid object with well defined relations with respect to the human body parts. In this paper, we propose to take benefit of the context information in order to improve content-based face detections. We propose a novel framework for integrating multiple content- and context-based detectors in a discriminative way. Moreover, we develop an integrated scoring procedure that measures the ’faceness’ of each hypothesis and is used to discriminate the detection results. Our approach detects a higher rate of faces while minimizing the number of false detections, giving an average increase of more than 10% in average precision when comparing it to state-of-the art face detectors

Title Night-time outdoor surveillance by mobile cameras Type Conference Article
Year 2012 Publication (down) 1st International Conference on Pattern Recognition Applications and Methods Abbreviated Journal
Volume 2 Issue Pages 365-371
Keywords
Abstract This paper addresses the problem of video surveillance by mobile cameras. We present a method that allows online change detection in night-time outdoor surveillance. Because of the camera movement, background frames are not available and must be “localized” in former sequences and registered with the current frames. To this end, we propose a Frame Localization And Registration (FLAR) approach that solves the problem efficiently. Frames of former sequences define a database which is queried by current frames in turn. To quickly retrieve nearest neighbors, database is indexed through a visual dictionary method based on the SURF descriptor. Furthermore, the frame localization is benefited by a temporal filter that exploits the temporal coherence of videos. Next, the recently proposed ECC alignment scheme is used to spatially register the synchronized frames. Finally, change detection methods apply to aligned frames in order to mark suspicious areas. Experiments with real night sequences recorded by in-vehicle cameras demonstrate the performance of the proposed method and verify its efficiency and effectiveness against other methods.

Title A search based approach to non maximum suppression in face detection Type Conference Article
Year 2012 Publication (down) 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 Sketchable Histograms of Oriented Gradients for Object Detection Type Conference Article
Year 2012 Publication (down) 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.
