  Title (up) Automatic Recognition of Molecular Subtypes of Breast Cancer in X-Ray images using Segmentation-based Fractal Texture Analysis Type Book Chapter
  Year 2015 Publication Artificial Intelligence Research and Development Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 277 Issue Pages 247 - 256  
  Keywords  
  Abstract Breast cancer disease has recently been classified into four subtypes regarding the molecular properties of the affected tumor region. For each patient, an accurate diagnosis of the specific type is vital to decide the most appropriate therapy in order to enhance life prospects. Nowadays, advanced therapeutic diagnosis research is focused on gene selection methods, which are not robust enough. Hence, we hypothesize that computer vision algorithms can offer benefits to address the problem of discriminating among them through X-Ray images. In this paper, we propose a novel approach driven by texture feature descriptors and machine learning techniques. First, we segment the tumour part through an active contour technique and then, we perform a complete fractal analysis to collect qualitative information of the region of interest in the feature extraction stage. Finally, several supervised and unsupervised classifiers are used to perform multiclass classification of the aforementioned data. The experimental results presented in this paper support that it is possible to establish a relation between each tumor subtype and the extracted features of the patterns revealed on mammograms.

  Title (up) Automatic Tumor Volume Segmentation in Whole-Body PET/CT Scans: A Supervised Learning Approach Source Type Journal Article
  Year 2015 Publication Journal of Medical Imaging and Health Informatics Abbreviated Journal JMIHI  
  Volume 5 Issue 2 Pages 192-201  
  Keywords CONTEXTUAL CLASSIFICATION; PET/CT; SUPERVISED LEARNING; TUMOR SEGMENTATION; WHOLE BODY  
  Abstract Whole-body 3D PET/CT tumoral volume segmentation provides relevant diagnostic and prognostic information in clinical oncology and nuclear medicine. Carrying out this procedure manually by a medical expert is time consuming and suffers from inter- and intra-observer variabilities. In this paper, a completely automatic approach to this task is presented. First, the problem is stated and described both in clinical and technological terms. Then, a novel supervised learning segmentation framework is introduced. The segmentation by learning approach is defined within a Cascade of Adaboost classifiers and a 3D contextual proposal of Multiscale Stacked Sequential Learning. Segmentation accuracy results on 200 Breast Cancer whole body PET/CT volumes show mean 49% sensitivity, 99.993% specificity and 39% Jaccard overlap Index, which represent good performance results both at the clinical and technological level.

  Title (up) Automatic Verification of Properly Signed Multi-page Document Images Type Conference Article
  Year 2015 Publication Proceedings of the Eleventh International Symposium on Visual Computing Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 9475 Issue Pages 327-336  
  Keywords Document Image; Manual Inspection; Signature Verification; Rejection Criterion; Document Flow  
  Abstract In this paper we present an industrial application for the automatic screening of incoming multi-page documents in a banking workflow aimed at determining whether these documents are properly signed or not. The proposed method is divided in three main steps. First individual pages are classified in order to identify the pages that should contain a signature. In a second step, we segment within those key pages the location where the signatures should appear. The last step checks whether the signatures are present or not. Our method is tested in a real large-scale environment and we report the results when checking two different types of real multi-page contracts, having in total more than 14,500 pages.

  Title (up) AutoML Challenge 2015: Design and First Results Type Conference Article
  Year 2015 Publication 32nd International Conference on Machine Learning, ICML workshop, JMLR proceedings ICML15 Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages 1-8  
  Keywords AutoML Challenge; machine learning; model selection; meta-learning; repre- sentation learning; active learning  
  Abstract ChaLearn is organizing the Automatic Machine Learning (AutoML) contest 2015, which challenges participants to solve classi cation and regression problems without any human intervention. Participants' code is automatically run on the contest servers to train and test learning machines. However, there is no obligation to submit code; half of the prizes can be won by submitting prediction results only. Datasets of progressively increasing diculty are introduced throughout the six rounds of the challenge. (Participants can
enter the competition in any round.) The rounds alternate phases in which learners are tested on datasets participants have not seen (AutoML), and phases in which participants have limited time to tweak their algorithms on those datasets to improve performance (Tweakathon). This challenge will push the state of the art in fully automatic machine learning on a wide range of real-world problems. The platform will remain available beyond the termination of the challenge: http://codalab.org/AutoML.

  Title (up) Autonomous GPU-based Driving Type Abstract
  Year 2015 Publication Programming and Tunning Massive Parallel Systems Abbreviated Journal PUMPS  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Autonomous Driving; ADAS; CUDA  
  Abstract Human factors cause most driving accidents; this is why nowadays is common to hear about autonomous driving as an alternative. Autonomous driving will not only increase safety, but also will develop a system of cooperative self-driving cars that will reduce pollution and congestion. Furthermore, it will provide more freedom to handicapped people, elderly or kids.

Autonomous Driving requires perceiving and understanding the vehicle environment (e.g., road, traffic signs, pedestrians, vehicles) using sensors (e.g., cameras, lidars, sonars, and radars), selflocalization (requiring GPS, inertial sensors and visual localization in precise maps), controlling the vehicle and planning the routes. These algorithms require high computation capability, and thanks to NVIDIA GPU acceleration this starts to become feasible.

NVIDIA® is developing a new platform for boosting the Autonomous Driving capabilities that is able of managing the vehicle via CAN-Bus: the Drive™ PX. It has 8 ARM cores with dual accelerated Tegra® X1 chips. It has 12 synchronized camera inputs for 360º vehicle perception, 4G and Wi-Fi capabilities allowing vehicle communications and GPS and inertial sensors inputs for self-localization.

Our research group has been selected for testing Drive™ PX. Accordingly, we are developing a Drive™ PX based autonomous car. Currently, we are porting our previous CPU based algorithms (e.g., Lane Departure Warning, Collision Warning, Automatic Cruise Control, Pedestrian Protection, or Semantic Segmentation) for running in the GPU.

  Year 2015 Publication Colonoscopy and Colorectal Cancer Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Intelligent systems; Image properties; Validation; Clinical drawbacks; Endoluminal scene description  
  Abstract Recent advances in endoscopic technology have generated an increasing interest in strengthening the collaboration between clinicians and computers scientist to develop intelligent systems that can provide additional information to clinicians in the different stages of an intervention. The objective of this chapter is to identify clinical drawbacks of colonoscopy in order to define potential areas of collaboration. Once areas are defined, we present the challenges that colonoscopy images present in order computational methods to provide with meaningful output, including those related to image formation and acquisition, as they are proven to have an impact in the performance of an intelligent system. Finally, we also propose how to define validation frameworks in order to assess the performance of a given method, making an special emphasis on how databases should be created and annotated and which metrics should be used to evaluate systems correctly.

  Title (up) Care and caring: future proofing the new demographics Type Conference Article
  Year 2015 Publication 6th International Carers Conference Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords  
  Abstract With an ageing population, the issue of care provision is becoming increasingly important. The simple aspiration of the majority of older people is to live safely and well at home. Housing will be part of health & care integration in the following years and decades. A higher proportion of people will have to rely on informal care through family, friends, neighbors and others who
provide care to an older person in need of assistance (around 80% of care across the EU). They do not usually have a formal status and are usually unpaid. We need to ensure that all disabled or chronically ill people can get the help they need without overburdening their families.
The physical and emotional stress of carers is one of the dangers that this dependency can bring. To prevent carers burnout it is necessary to provide new solutions that are affordable and user friendly for the families and caregivers.

  Title (up) Carotid pulse wave velocity by magnetic resonance imaging is increased in middle-aged subjects with the metabolic syndrome Type Journal Article
  Year 2015 Publication International Journal of Cardiovascular Imaging Abbreviated Journal ICJI  
  Volume 31 Issue 3 Pages 603-612  
  Keywords Metabolic syndrome; Arterial stiffness; Pulse wave velocity; Carotid artery; Magnetic resonance  
  Abstract Arterial pulse wave velocity (PWV), an independent predictor of cardiovascular disease, physiologically increases with age; however, growing evidence suggests metabolic syndrome (MetS) accelerates this increase. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) enables reliable noninvasive assessment of arterial stiffness by measuring arterial PWV in specific vascular segments. We investigated the association between the presence of MetS and its components with carotid PWV (cPWV) in asymptomatic subjects without diabetes. We assessed cPWV by MRI in 61 individuals (mean age, 55.3 ± 14.1 years; median age, 55 years): 30 with MetS and 31 controls with similar age, sex, body mass index, and LDL-cholesterol levels. The study population was dichotomized by the median age. To remove the physiological association between PWV and age, unpaired t tests and multiple regression analyses were performed using the residuals of the regression between PWV and age. cPWV was higher in middle-aged subjects with MetS than in those without (p = 0.001), but no differences were found in elder subjects (p = 0.313). cPWV was associated with diastolic blood pressure (r = 0.276, p = 0.033) and waist circumference (r = 0.268, p = 0.038). The presence of MetS was associated with increased cPWV regardless of age, sex, blood pressure, and waist (p = 0.007). The MetS components contributing independently to an increased cPWV were hypertension (p = 0.018) and hypertriglyceridemia (p = 0.002). The presence of MetS is associated with an increased cPWV in middle-aged subjects. In particular, hypertension and hypertriglyceridemia may contribute to early progression of carotid stiffness.

  Title (up) Chromatic shadow detection and tracking for moving foreground segmentation Type Journal Article
  Year 2015 Publication Image and Vision Computing Abbreviated Journal IMAVIS  
  Volume 41 Issue Pages 42-53  
  Keywords Detecting moving objects; Chromatic shadow detection; Temporal local gradient; Spatial and Temporal brightness and angle distortions; Shadow tracking  
  Abstract Advanced segmentation techniques in the surveillance domain deal with shadows to avoid distortions when detecting moving objects. Most approaches for shadow detection are still typically restricted to penumbra shadows and cannot cope well with umbra shadows. Consequently, umbra shadow regions are usually detected as part of moving objects, thus a ecting the performance of the nal detection. In this paper we address the detection of both penumbra and umbra shadow regions. First, a novel bottom-up approach is presented based on gradient and colour models, which successfully discriminates between chromatic moving cast shadow regions and those regions detected as moving objects. In essence, those regions corresponding to potential shadows are detected based on edge partitioning and colour statistics. Subsequently (i) temporal similarities between textures and (ii) spatial similarities between chrominance angle and brightness distortions are analysed for each potential shadow region for detecting the umbra shadow regions. Our second contribution re nes even further the segmentation results: a tracking-based top-down approach increases the performance of our bottom-up chromatic shadow detection algorithm by properly correcting non-detected shadows.
To do so, a combination of motion lters in a data association framework exploits the temporal consistency between objects and shadows to increase
the shadow detection rate. Experimental results exceed current state-of-the-
art in shadow accuracy for multiple well-known surveillance image databases which contain di erent shadowed materials and illumination conditions.
