Title Sequential Word Spotting in Historical Handwritten Documents Type (down) Conference Article
Year 2014 Publication 11th IAPR International Workshop on Document Analysis and Systems Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 101 - 105
Keywords
Abstract In this work we present a handwritten word spotting approach that takes advantage of the a priori known order of appearance of the query words. Given an ordered sequence of query word instances, the proposed approach performs a
sequence alignment with the words in the target collection. Although the alignment is quite sparse, i.e. the number of words in the database is higher than the query set, the improvement in the overall performance is sensitively higher than isolated word spotting. As application dataset, we use a collection of handwritten marriage licenses taking advantage of the ordered
index pages of family names.

Title e-Crowds: a mobile platform for browsing and searching in historical demographyrelated manuscripts Type (down) Conference Article
Year 2014 Publication 14th International Conference on Frontiers in Handwriting Recognition Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 228 - 233
Keywords
Abstract This paper presents a prototype system running on portable devices for browsing and word searching through historical handwritten document collections. The platform adapts the paradigm of eBook reading, where the narrative is not necessarily sequential, but centered on the user actions. The novelty is to replace digitally born books by digitized historical manuscripts of marriage licenses, so document analysis tasks are required in the browser. With an active reading paradigm, the user can cast queries of people names, so he/she can implicitly follow genealogical links. In addition, the system allows combined searches: the user can refine a search by adding more words to search. As a second contribution, the retrieval functionality involves as a core technology a word spotting module with an unified approach, which allows combined query searches, and also two input modalities: query-by-example, and query-by-string.

Title Polyp Segmentation Method in Colonoscopy Videos by means of MSA-DOVA Energy Maps Calculation Type (down) Conference Article
Year 2014 Publication 3rd MICCAI Workshop on Clinical Image-based Procedures: Translational Research in Medical Imaging Abbreviated Journal
Volume 8680 Issue Pages 41-49
Keywords Image segmentation; Polyps; Colonoscopy; Valley information; Energy maps
Abstract In this paper we present a novel polyp region segmentation method for colonoscopy videos. Our method uses valley information associated to polyp boundaries in order to provide an initial segmentation. This first segmentation is refined to eliminate boundary discontinuities caused by image artifacts or other elements of the scene. Experimental results over a publicly annotated database show that our method outperforms both general and specific segmentation methods by providing more accurate regions rich in polyp content. We also prove how image preprocessing is needed to improve final polyp region segmentation.

Title Cross-spectral Stereo Correspondence using Dense Flow Fields Type (down) Conference Article
Year 2014 Publication 9th International Conference on Computer Vision Theory and Applications Abbreviated Journal
Volume 3 Issue Pages 613-617
Keywords Cross-spectral Stereo Correspondence; Dense Optical Flow; Infrared and Visible Spectrum
Abstract This manuscript addresses the cross-spectral stereo correspondence problem. It proposes the usage of a dense flow field based representation instead of the original cross-spectral images, which have a low correlation. In this way, working in the flow field space, classical cost functions can be used as similarity measures. Preliminary experimental results on urban environments have been obtained showing the validity of the proposed approach.

Title Color descriptor for content-based drawing retrieval Type (down) Conference Article
Year 2014 Publication 11th IAPR International Workshop on Document Analysis and Systems Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 267 - 271
Keywords
Abstract Human detection in computer vision field is an active field of research. Extending this to human-like drawings such as the main characters in comic book stories is not trivial. Comics analysis is a very recent field of research at the intersection of graphics, texts, objects and people recognition. The detection of the main comic characters is an essential step towards a fully automatic comic book understanding. This paper presents a color-based approach for comics character retrieval using content-based drawing retrieval and color palette.

Title Réduction de l’espace de recherche pour les personnages de bandes dessinées Type (down) Conference Article
Year 2014 Publication 19th National Congress Reconnaissance de Formes et l'Intelligence Artificielle Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords contextual search; document analysis; comics characters
Abstract Les bandes dessinées représentent un patrimoine culturel important dans de nombreux pays et leur numérisation massive offre la possibilité d'effectuer des recherches dans le contenu des images. À ce jour, ce sont principalement les structures des pages et leurs contenus textuels qui ont été étudiés, peu de travaux portent sur le contenu graphique. Nous proposons de nous appuyer sur des éléments déjà étudiés tels que la position des cases et des bulles, pour réduire l'espace de recherche et localiser les personnages en fonction de la queue des bulles. L'évaluation de nos différentes contributions à partir de la base eBDtheque montre un taux de détection des queues de bulle de 81.2%, de localisation des personnages allant jusqu'à 85% et un gain d'espace de recherche de plus de 50%.

Title Unrolling loopy top-down semantic feedback in convolutional deep networks Type (down) Conference Article
Year 2014 Publication Workshop on Deep Vision: Deep Learning for Computer Vision Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 498-505
Keywords
Abstract In this paper, we propose a novel way to perform top-down semantic feedback in convolutional deep networks for efficient and accurate image parsing. We also show how to add global appearance/semantic features, which have shown to improve image parsing performance in state-of-the-art methods, and was not present in previous convolutional approaches. The proposed method is characterised by an efficient training and a sufficiently fast testing. We use the well known SIFTflow dataset to numerically show the advantages provided by our contributions, and to compare with state-of-the-art image parsing convolutional based approaches.

Title MSER-based Real-Time Text Detection and Tracking Type (down) Conference Article
Year 2014 Publication 22nd International Conference on Pattern Recognition Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 3110 - 3115
Keywords
Abstract We present a hybrid algorithm for detection and tracking of text in natural scenes that goes beyond the fulldetection approaches in terms of time performance optimization.
A state-of-the-art scene text detection module based on Maximally Stable Extremal Regions (MSER) is used to detect text asynchronously, while on a separate thread detected text objects are tracked by MSER propagation. The cooperation of these two modules yields real time video processing at high frame rates even on low-resource devices.

Title Spatial Discriminant ICA for RS-fMRI characterisation Type (down) Conference Article
Year 2014 Publication 4th International Workshop on Pattern Recognition in Neuroimaging Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 1-4
Keywords
Abstract Resting-State fMRI (RS-fMRI) is a brain imaging technique useful for exploring functional connectivity. A major point of interest in RS-fMRI analysis is to isolate connectivity patterns characterising disorders such as for instance ADHD. Such characterisation is usually performed in two steps: first, all connectivity patterns in the data are extracted by means of Independent Component Analysis (ICA); second, standard statistical tests are performed over the extracted patterns to find differences between control and clinical groups. In this work we introduce a novel, single-step, approach for this problem termed Spatial Discriminant ICA. The algorithm can efficiently isolate networks of functional connectivity characterising a clinical group by combining ICA and a new variant of the Fisher’s Linear Discriminant also introduced in this work. As the characterisation is carried out in a single step, it potentially provides for a richer characterisation of inter-class differences. The algorithm is tested using synthetic and real fMRI data, showing promising results in both experiments.

Title Label Consistent Multiclass Discriminative Dictionary Learning for MRI Segmentation Type (down) Conference Article
Year 2014 Publication 8th Conference on Articulated Motion and Deformable Objects Abbreviated Journal
Volume 8563 Issue Pages 138-147
Keywords MRI segmentation; sparse representation; discriminative dic- tionary learning; multiclass classi cation
Abstract The automatic segmentation of multiple subcortical structures in brain Magnetic Resonance Images (MRI) still remains a challenging task. In this paper, we address this problem using sparse representation and discriminative dictionary learning, which have shown promising results in compression, image denoising and recently in MRI segmentation. Particularly, we use multiclass dictionaries learned from a set of brain atlases to simultaneously segment multiple subcortical structures.
We also impose dictionary atoms to be specialized in one given class using label consistent K-SVD, which can alleviate the bias produced by unbalanced libraries, present when dealing with small structures. The proposed method is compared with other state of the art approaches for the segmentation of the Basal Ganglia of 35 subjects of a public dataset.
The promising results of the segmentation method show the eciency of the multiclass discriminative dictionary learning algorithms in MRI segmentation problems.

Title Factors Affecting Optical Flow Performance in Tagging Magnetic Resonance Imaging Type (down) Conference Article
Year 2014 Publication 17th International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention Abbreviated Journal
Volume 8896 Issue Pages 231-238
Keywords Optical flow; Performance Evaluation; Synthetic Database; ANOVA; Tagging Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Abstract Changes in cardiac deformation patterns are correlated with cardiac pathologies. Deformation can be extracted from tagging Magnetic Resonance Imaging (tMRI) using Optical Flow (OF) techniques. For applications of OF in a clinical setting it is important to assess to what extent the performance of a particular OF method is stable across di erent clinical acquisition artifacts. This paper presents a statistical validation framework, based on ANOVA, to assess the motion and appearance factors that have the largest in uence on OF accuracy drop.
In order to validate this framework, we created a database of simulated tMRI data including the most common artifacts of MRI and test three di erent OF methods, including HARP.
