| Title | Pedestrian Detection at Day/Night Time with Visible and FIR Cameras: A Comparison | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2016 | Publication | Sensors | Abbreviated Journal | SENS |
| Volume | 16 | Issue | 6 | Pages | 820 |
| Keywords | Pedestrian Detection; FIR | ||||
| Abstract | Despite all the significant advances in pedestrian detection brought by computer vision for driving assistance, it is still a challenging problem. One reason is the extremely varying lighting conditions under which such a detector should operate, namely day and night time. Recent research has shown that the combination of visible and non-visible imaging modalities may increase detection accuracy, where the infrared spectrum plays a critical role. The goal of this paper is to assess the accuracy gain of different pedestrian models (holistic, part-based, patch-based) when training with images in the far infrared spectrum. Specifically, we want to compare detection accuracy on test images recorded at day and nighttime if trained (and tested) using (a) plain color images, (b) just infrared images and (c) both of them. In order to obtain results for the last item we propose an early fusion approach to combine features from both modalities. We base the evaluation on a new dataset we have built for this purpose as well as on the publicly available KAIST multispectral dataset. | ||||

| Year | 2014 | Publication | Sensors | Abbreviated Journal | SENS |
| Volume | 14 | Issue | 2 | Pages | 3690-3701 |
| Keywords | |||||
| Abstract | This manuscript evaluates the behavior of classical feature point descriptors when they are used in images from long-wave infrared spectral band and compare them with the results obtained in the visible spectrum. Robustness to changes in rotation, scaling, blur, and additive noise are analyzed using a state of the art framework. Experimental results using a cross-spectral outdoor image data set are presented and conclusions from these experiments are given. | ||||

| Title | A survey on model based approaches for 2D and 3D visual human pose recovery | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2014 | Publication | Sensors | Abbreviated Journal | SENS |
| Volume | 14 | Issue | 3 | Pages | 4189-4210 |
| Keywords | human pose recovery; human body modelling; behavior analysis; computer vision | ||||
| Abstract | Human Pose Recovery has been studied in the field of Computer Vision for the last 40 years. Several approaches have been reported, and significant improvements have been obtained in both data representation and model design. However, the problem of Human Pose Recovery in uncontrolled environments is far from being solved. In this paper, we define a general taxonomy to group model based approaches for Human Pose Recovery, which is composed of five main modules: appearance, viewpoint, spatial relations, temporal consistence, and behavior. Subsequently, a methodological comparison is performed following the proposed taxonomy, evaluating current SoA approaches in the aforementioned five group categories. As a result of this comparison, we discuss the main advantages and drawbacks of the reviewed literature. | ||||

| 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 | Multispectral Image Feature Points | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2012 | Publication | Sensors | Abbreviated Journal | SENS |
| Volume | 12 | Issue | 9 | Pages | 12661-12672 |
| Keywords | multispectral image descriptor; color and infrared images; feature point descriptor | ||||
| Abstract | Far-Infrared and Visible Spectrum images. It allows matching interest points on images of the same scene but acquired in different spectral bands. Initially, points of interest are detected on both images through a SIFT-like based scale space representation. Then, these points are characterized using an Edge Oriented Histogram (EOH) descriptor. Finally, points of interest from multispectral images are matched by finding nearest couples using the information from the descriptor. The provided experimental results and comparisons with similar methods show both the validity of the proposed approach as well as the improvements it offers with respect to the current state-of-the-art. | ||||

| Title | GrabCut-Based Human Segmentation in Video Sequences | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2012 | Publication | Sensors | Abbreviated Journal | SENS |
| Volume | 12 | Issue | 11 | Pages | 15376-15393 |
| Keywords | segmentation; human pose recovery; GrabCut; GraphCut; Active Appearance Models; Conditional Random Field | ||||
| Abstract | In this paper, we present a fully-automatic Spatio-Temporal GrabCut human segmentation methodology that combines tracking and segmentation. GrabCut initialization is performed by a HOG-based subject detection, face detection, and skin color model. Spatial information is included by Mean Shift clustering whereas temporal coherence is considered by the historical of Gaussian Mixture Models. Moreover, full face and pose recovery is obtained by combining human segmentation with Active Appearance Models and Conditional Random Fields. Results over public datasets and in a new Human Limb dataset show a robust segmentation and recovery of both face and pose using the presented methodology. | ||||

| Title | Social Network Extraction and Analysis Based on Multimodal Dyadic Interaction | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2012 | Publication | Sensors | Abbreviated Journal | SENS |
| Volume | 12 | Issue | 2 | Pages | 1702-1719 |

| Abstract | IF=1.77 (2010)
Social interactions are a very important component in peopleís lives. Social network analysis has become a common technique used to model and quantify the properties of social interactions. In this paper, we propose an integrated framework to explore the characteristics of a social network extracted from multimodal dyadic interactions. For our study, we used a set of videos belonging to New York Timesí Blogging Heads opinion blog. The Social Network is represented as an oriented graph, whose directed links are determined by the Influence Model. The linksí weights are a measure of the ìinfluenceî a person has over the other. The states of the Influence Model encode automatically extracted audio/visual features from our videos using state-of-the art algorithms. Our results are reported in terms of accuracy of audio/visual data fusion for speaker segmentation and centrality measures used to characterize the extracted social network. |

| Title | T-Patterns Revisited: Mining for Temporal Patterns in Sensor Data | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2010 | Publication | Sensors | Abbreviated Journal | SENS |
| Volume | 10 | Issue | 8 | Pages | 7496-7513 |
| Keywords | sensor networks; temporal pattern extraction; T-patterns; Lempel-Ziv; Gaussian mixture model; MERL motion data | ||||
| Abstract | The trend to use large amounts of simple sensors as opposed to a few complex sensors to monitor places and systems creates a need for temporal pattern mining algorithms to work on such data. The methods that try to discover re-usable and interpretable patterns in temporal event data have several shortcomings. We contrast several recent approaches to the problem, and extend the T-Pattern algorithm, which was previously applied for detection of sequential patterns in behavioural sciences. The temporal complexity of the T-pattern approach is prohibitive in the scenarios we consider. We remedy this with a statistical model to obtain a fast and robust algorithm to find patterns in temporal data. We test our algorithm on a recent database collected with passive infrared sensors with millions of events. | ||||

| Title | Improving the Ability of Image Sensors to Detect Faint Stars and Moving Objects Using Image Deconvolution Techniques | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2010 | Publication | Sensors | Abbreviated Journal | SENS |
| Volume | 10 | Issue | 3 | Pages | 1743–1752 |
| Keywords | image processing; image deconvolution; faint stars; space debris; wavelet transform | ||||
| Abstract | Abstract: In this paper we show how the techniques of image deconvolution can increase the ability of image sensors as, for example, CCD imagers, to detect faint stars or faint orbital objects (small satellites and space debris). In the case of faint stars, we show that this benefit is equivalent to double the quantum efficiency of the used image sensor or to increase the effective telescope aperture by more than 30% without decreasing the astrometric precision or introducing artificial bias. In the case of orbital objects, the deconvolution technique can double the signal-to-noise ratio of the image, which helps to discover and control dangerous objects as space debris or lost satellites. The benefits obtained using CCD detectors can be extrapolated to any kind of image sensors. | ||||
