| Title | Multiple Instance Classification: review, taxonomy and comparative study | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2013 | Publication | Artificial Intelligence | Abbreviated Journal | AI |

| Abstract | Multiple Instance Learning (MIL) has become an important topic in the pattern recognition community, and many solutions to this problemhave been proposed until now. Despite this fact, there is a lack of comparative studies that shed light into the characteristics and behavior of the different methods. In this work we provide such an analysis focused on the classification task (i.e.,leaving out other learning tasks such as regression). In order to perform our study, we implemented
fourteen methods grouped into three different families. We analyze the performance of the approaches across a variety of well-known databases, and we also study their behavior in synthetic scenarios in order to highlight their characteristics. As a result of this analysis, we conclude that methods that extract global bag-level information show a clearly superior performance in general. In this sense, the analysis permits us to understand why some types of methods are more successful than others, and it permits us to establish guidelines in the design of new MIL methods. |

| Title | The ESPOSALLES database: An ancient marriage license corpus for off-line handwriting recognition | Type | Journal Article | ||

| Volume | 46 | Issue | 6 | Pages | 1658-1669 |
| Keywords | |||||
| Abstract | Historical records of daily activities provide intriguing insights into the life of our ancestors, useful for demography studies and genealogical research. Automatic processing of historical documents, however, has mostly been focused on single works of literature and less on social records, which tend to have a distinct layout, structure, and vocabulary. Such information is usually collected by expert demographers that devote a lot of time to manually transcribe them. This paper presents a new database, compiled from a marriage license books collection, to support research in automatic handwriting recognition for historical documents containing social records. Marriage license books are documents that were used for centuries by ecclesiastical institutions to register marriage licenses. Books from this collection are handwritten and span nearly half a millennium until the beginning of the 20th century. In addition, a study is presented about the capability of state-of-the-art handwritten text recognition systems, when applied to the presented database. Baseline results are reported for reference in future studies. | ||||

| Title | Median graph: A new exact algorithm using a distance based on the maximum common subgraph | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2009 | Publication | Pattern Recognition Letters | Abbreviated Journal | PRL |
| Volume | 30 | Issue | 5 | Pages | 579–588 |
| Keywords | |||||
| Abstract | Median graphs have been presented as a useful tool for capturing the essential information of a set of graphs. Nevertheless, computation of optimal solutions is a very hard problem. In this work we present a new and more efficient optimal algorithm for the median graph computation. With the use of a particular cost function that permits the definition of the graph edit distance in terms of the maximum common subgraph, and a prediction function in the backtracking algorithm, we reduce the size of the search space, avoiding the evaluation of a great amount of states and still obtaining the exact median. We present a set of experiments comparing our new algorithm against the previous existing exact algorithm using synthetic data. In addition, we present the first application of the exact median graph computation to real data and we compare the results against an approximate algorithm based on genetic search. These experimental results show that our algorithm outperforms the previous existing exact algorithm and in addition show the potential applicability of the exact solutions to real problems. | ||||

| Year | 2009 | Publication | Pattern Recognition Letters | Abbreviated Journal | PRL |
| Volume | 30 | Issue | 5 | Pages | 535–543 |
| Keywords | |||||
| Abstract | This paper presents a new technique to the instantaneous 3D motion estimation. The main contributions are as follows. First, we show that the 3D camera or scene velocity can be retrieved from image derivatives only assuming that the scene contains a dominant plane. Second, we propose a new robust algorithm that simultaneously provides the Least Trimmed Square solution and the percentage of inliers-the non-contaminated data. Experiments on both synthetic and real image sequences demonstrated the effectiveness of the developed method. Those experiments show that the new robust approach can outperform classical robust schemes. | ||||

| Year | 2006 | Publication | Pattern Recognition Letters | Abbreviated Journal | PRL |
| Volume | 27 | Issue | 9 | Pages | 1022-1030 |
| Keywords | |||||
| Abstract | Corners and junctions are landmarks characterized by the lack of differentiability in the unit tangent to the image level curve. Detectors based on differential operators are not, by their own definition, the best posed as they require a higher degree of differentiability to yield a reliable response. We argue that a corner detector should be based on the degree of continuity of the tangent vector to the image level sets, work on the image domain and need no assumptions on neither the image local structure nor the particular geometry of the corner/junction. An operator measuring the degree of differentiability of the projection matrix on the image gradient fulfills the above requirements. Because using smoothing kernels leads to corner misplacement, we suggest an alternative fake response remover based on the receptive field inhibition of spurious details. The combination of both orientation discontinuity detection and noise inhibition produce our inhibition orientation energy (IOE) landmark locator. | ||||

| Title | A model for image generation and symbol recognition through the deformation of lineal shapes | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2003 | Publication | Pattern Recognition Letters | Abbreviated Journal | PRL |
| Volume | 24 | Issue | 15 | Pages | 2857-2867 |
| Keywords | |||||
| Abstract | We describe a general framework for the recognition of distorted images of lineal shapes, which relies on three items: a model to represent lineal shapes and their deformations, a model for the generation of distorted binary images and the combination of both models in a common probabilistic framework, where the generation of deformations is related to an internal energy, and the generation of binary images to an external energy. Then, recognition consists in the minimization of a global energy function, performed by using the EM algorithm. This general framework has been applied to the recognition of hand-drawn lineal symbols in graphic documents. | ||||

| Title | Hand line drawing interpretation as three-dimensional objects | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year | 1993 | Publication | Signal Processing – Intelligent systems for signal and image understanding | Abbreviated Journal | |
| Volume | 32 | Issue | 1-2 | Pages | 91-110 |
| Keywords | Line drawing interpretation; line labelling; scene analysis; man-machine interaction; CAD input; line extraction | ||||
| Abstract | In this paper we present a technique to interpret hand line drawings as objects in a three-dimensional space. The object domain considered is based on planar surfaces with straight edges, concretely, on ansextension of Origami world to hidden lines. The line drawing represents the object under orthographic projection and it is sensed using a scanner. Our method is structured in two modules: feature extraction and feature interpretation. In the first one, image processing techniques are applied under certain tolerance margins to detect lines and junctions on the hand line drawing. Feature interpretation module is founded on line labelling techniques using a labelled junction dictionary. A labelling algorithm is here proposed. It uses relaxation techniques to reduce the number of incompatible labels with the junction dictionary so that the convergence of solutions can be accelerated. We formulate some labelling hypotheses tending to eliminate elements in two sets of labelled interpretations. That is, those which are compatible with the dictionary but do not correspond to three-dimensional objects and those which represent objects not very probable to be specified by means of a line drawing. New entities arise on the line drawing as a result of the extension of Origami world. These are defined to enunciate the assumptions of our method as well as to clarify the algorithms proposed. This technique is framed in a project aimed to implement a system to create 3D objects to improve man-machine interaction in CAD systems. | ||||

| Title | Emotion recognition from mid-level features | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2015 | Publication | Pattern Recognition Letters | Abbreviated Journal | PRL |
| Volume | 67 | Issue | Part 1 | Pages | 66–74 |
| Keywords | Facial expression; Emotion recognition; Action units; Computer vision | ||||
| Abstract | In this paper we present a study on the use of Action Units as mid-level features for automatically recognizing basic and subtle emotions. We propose a representation model based on mid-level facial muscular movement features. We encode these movements dynamically using the Facial Action Coding System, and propose to use these intermediate features based on Action Units (AUs) to classify emotions. AUs activations are detected fusing a set of spatiotemporal geometric and appearance features. The algorithm is validated in two applications: (i) the recognition of 7 basic emotions using the publicly available Cohn-Kanade database, and (ii) the inference of subtle emotional cues in the Newscast database. In this second scenario, we consider emotions that are perceived cumulatively in longer periods of time. In particular, we Automatically classify whether video shoots from public News TV channels refer to Good or Bad news. To deal with the different video lengths we propose a Histogram of Action Units and compute it using a sliding window strategy on the frame sequences. Our approach achieves accuracies close to human perception. | ||||

| Title | On the completeness of feature-driven maximally stable extremal regions | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2016 | Publication | Pattern Recognition Letters | Abbreviated Journal | PRL |
| Volume | 74 | Issue | Pages | 9-16 | |
| Keywords | Local features; Completeness; Maximally Stable Extremal Regions | ||||
| Abstract | By definition, local image features provide a compact representation of the image in which most of the image information is preserved. This capability offered by local features has been overlooked, despite being relevant in many application scenarios. In this paper, we analyze and discuss the performance of feature-driven Maximally Stable Extremal Regions (MSER) in terms of the coverage of informative image parts (completeness). This type of features results from an MSER extraction on saliency maps in which features related to objects boundaries or even symmetry axes are highlighted. These maps are intended to be suitable domains for MSER detection, allowing this detector to provide a better coverage of informative image parts. Our experimental results, which were based on a large-scale evaluation, show that feature-driven MSER have relatively high completeness values and provide more complete sets than a traditional MSER detection even when sets of similar cardinality are considered. | ||||

| Title | A Real-time Human-Robot Interaction system based on gestures for assistive scenarios | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2016 | Publication | Computer Vision and Image Understanding | Abbreviated Journal | CVIU |
| Volume | 149 | Issue | Pages | 65-77 | |
| Keywords | Gesture recognition; Human Robot Interaction; Dynamic Time Warping; Pointing location estimation | ||||
| Abstract | Natural and intuitive human interaction with robotic systems is a key point to develop robots assisting people in an easy and effective way. In this paper, a Human Robot Interaction (HRI) system able to recognize gestures usually employed in human non-verbal communication is introduced, and an in-depth study of its usability is performed. The system deals with dynamic gestures such as waving or nodding which are recognized using a Dynamic Time Warping approach based on gesture specific features computed from depth maps. A static gesture consisting in pointing at an object is also recognized. The pointed location is then estimated in order to detect candidate objects the user may refer to. When the pointed object is unclear for the robot, a disambiguation procedure by means of either a verbal or gestural dialogue is performed. This skill would lead to the robot picking an object in behalf of the user, which could present difficulties to do it by itself. The overall system — which is composed by a NAO and Wifibot robots, a KinectTM v2 sensor and two laptops — is firstly evaluated in a structured lab setup. Then, a broad set of user tests has been completed, which allows to assess correct performance in terms of recognition rates, easiness of use and response times. | ||||

| Title | Anatomical Medial Surfaces with Efficient Resolution of Branches Singularities | Type | Journal Article | ||

| Volume | 35 | Issue | Pages | 390-402 | |
| Keywords | Medial Representations; Shape Recognition; Medial Branching Stability ; Singular Points | ||||
| Abstract | Medial surfaces are powerful tools for shape description, but their use has been limited due to the sensibility existing methods to branching artifacts. Medial branching artifacts are associated to perturbations of the object boundary rather than to geometric features. Such instability is a main obstacle for a con dent application in shape recognition and description. Medial branches correspond to singularities of the medial surface and, thus, they are problematic for existing morphological and energy-based algorithms. In this paper, we use algebraic geometry concepts in an energy-based approach to compute a medial surface presenting a stable branching topology. We also present an ecient GPU-CPU implementation using standard image processing tools. We show the method computational eciency and quality on a custom made synthetic database. Finally, we present some results on a medical imaging application for localization of abdominal pathologies. | ||||

| Title | Incremental Scenario Representations for Autonomous Driving using Geometric Polygonal Primitives | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2016 | Publication | Robotics and Autonomous Systems | Abbreviated Journal | RAS |
| Volume | 83 | Issue | Pages | 312-325 | |
| Keywords | Incremental scene reconstruction; Point clouds; Autonomous vehicles; Polygonal primitives | ||||
| Abstract | When an autonomous vehicle is traveling through some scenario it receives a continuous stream of sensor data. This sensor data arrives in an asynchronous fashion and often contains overlapping or redundant information. Thus, it is not trivial how a representation of the environment observed by the vehicle can be created and updated over time. This paper presents a novel methodology to compute an incremental 3D representation of a scenario from 3D range measurements. We propose to use macro scale polygonal primitives to model the scenario. This means that the representation of the scene is given as a list of large scale polygons that describe the geometric structure of the environment. Furthermore, we propose mechanisms designed to update the geometric polygonal primitives over time whenever fresh sensor data is collected. Results show that the approach is capable of producing accurate descriptions of the scene, and that it is computationally very efficient when compared to other reconstruction techniques. | ||||
