Title Adversarial Networks for Spatial Context-Aware Spectral Image Reconstruction from RGB Type (down) Conference Article
Year 2017 Publication 1st International Workshop on Physics Based Vision meets Deep Learning Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords
Abstract Hyperspectral signal reconstruction aims at recovering the original spectral input that produced a certain trichromatic (RGB) response from a capturing device or observer.
Given the heavily underconstrained, non-linear nature of the problem, traditional techniques leverage different statistical properties of the spectral signal in order to build informative priors from real world object reflectances for constructing such RGB to spectral signal mapping. However,
most of them treat each sample independently, and thus do not benefit from the contextual information that the spatial dimensions can provide. We pose hyperspectral natural image reconstruction as an image to image mapping learning problem, and apply a conditional generative adversarial framework to help capture spatial semantics. This is the first time Convolutional Neural Networks -and, particularly, Generative Adversarial Networks- are used to solve this task. Quantitative evaluation shows a Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) drop of 44:7% and a Relative RMSE drop of 47:0% on the ICVL natural hyperspectral image dataset.

Title Occlusion Aware Hand Pose Recovery from Sequences of Depth Images Type (down) Conference Article
Year 2017 Publication 12th IEEE International Conference on Automatic Face and Gesture Recognition Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords
Abstract State-of-the-art approaches on hand pose estimation from depth images have reported promising results under quite controlled considerations. In this paper we propose a two-step pipeline for recovering the hand pose from a sequence of depth images. The pipeline has been designed to deal with images taken from any viewpoint and exhibiting a high degree of finger occlusion. In a first step we initialize the hand pose using a part-based model, fitting a set of hand components in the depth images. In a second step we consider temporal data and estimate the parameters of a trained bilinear model consisting of shape and trajectory bases. Results on a synthetic, highly-occluded dataset demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms most recent pose recovering approaches, including those based on CNNs.

Title Image vignetting reduction via a maximization of fuzzy entropy Type (down) Conference Article
Year 2017 Publication IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords
Abstract In many computer vision applications, vignetting is an undesirable effect which must be removed in a pre-processing step. Recently, an algorithm for image vignetting correction has been presented by means of a minimization of log-intensity entropy. This method relies on an increase of the entropy of the image when it is affected with vignetting. In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm to reduce image vignetting via a maximization of the fuzzy entropy of the image. Fuzzy entropy quantifies the fuzziness degree of a fuzzy set and its value is also modified by the presence of vignetting. The experimental results show that this novel algorithm outperforms in most cases the algorithm based on the minimization of log-intensity entropy both from the qualitative and the quantitative point of view.

Title Bandwidth Limited Object Recognition in High Resolution Imagery Type (down) Conference Article
Year 2017 Publication IEEE Winter conference on Applications of Computer Vision Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords
Abstract This paper proposes a novel method to optimize bandwidth usage for object detection in critical communication scenarios. We develop two operating models of active information seeking. The first model identifies promising regions in low resolution imagery and progressively requests higher resolution regions on which to perform recognition of higher semantic quality. The second model identifies promising regions in low resolution imagery while simultaneously predicting the approximate location of the object of higher semantic quality. From this general framework, we develop a car recognition system via identification of its license plate and evaluate the performance of both models on a car dataset that we introduce. Results are compared with traditional JPEG compression and demonstrate that our system saves up to one order of magnitude of bandwidth while sacrificing little in terms of recognition performance.

Title Multi-modal Deep Learning Approach for Flood Detection Type (down) Conference Article
Year 2017 Publication MediaEval Benchmarking Initiative for Multimedia Evaluation Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords
Abstract In this paper we propose a multi-modal deep learning approach to detect floods in social media posts. Social media posts normally contain some metadata and/or visual information, therefore in order to detect the floods we use this information. The model is based on a Convolutional Neural Network which extracts the visual features and a bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory network to extract the semantic features from the textual metadata. We validate the
method on images extracted from Flickr which contain both visual information and metadata and compare the results when using both, visual information only or metadata only. This work has been done in the context of the MediaEval Multimedia Satellite Task.

Title Towards Real-Time Polyp Detection in Colonoscopy Videos: Adapting Still Frame-Based Methodologies for Video Sequences Analysis Type (down) Conference Article
Year 2017 Publication 4th International Workshop on Computer Assisted and Robotic Endoscopy Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 29-41
Keywords Polyp detection; colonoscopy; real time; spatio temporal coherence
Abstract Colorectal cancer is the second cause of cancer death in United States: precursor lesions (polyps) detection is key for patient survival. Though colonoscopy is the gold standard screening tool, some polyps are still missed. Several computational systems have been proposed but none of them are used in the clinical room mainly due to computational constraints. Besides, most of them are built over still frame databases, decreasing their performance on video analysis due to the lack of output stability and not coping with associated variability on image quality and polyp appearance. We propose a strategy to adapt these methods to video analysis by adding a spatio-temporal stability module and studying a combination of features to capture polyp appearance variability. We validate our strategy, incorporated on a real-time detection method, on a public video database. Resulting method detects all
polyps under real time constraints, increasing its performance due to our
adaptation strategy.

Title Call Detail Records for Human Mobility Studies: Taking Stock of the Situation in the “Always Connected Era" Type (down) Conference Article
Year 2017 Publication Workshop on Big Data Analytics and Machine Learning for Data Communication Networks Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 43-48
Keywords mobile networks; call detail records; human mobility
Abstract The exploitation of cellular network data for studying human mobility has been a popular research topic in the last decade. Indeed, mobile terminals could be considered ubiquitous sensors that allow the observation of human movements on large scale without the need of relying on non-scalable techniques, such as surveys, or dedicated and expensive monitoring infrastructures. In particular, Call Detail Records (CDRs), collected by operators for billing purposes,
have been extensively employed due to their rather large availability, compared to other types of cellular data (e.g., signaling). Despite the interest aroused around this topic, the research community has generally agreed about the scarcity of information provided by CDRs: the position of mobile terminals is logged when some kind of activity (calls, SMS, data connections) occurs, which translates in a picture of mobility somehow biased by the activity degree of users.
By studying two datasets collected by a Nation-wide operator in 2014 and 2016, we show that the situation has drastically changed in terms of data volume and quality. The increase of flat data plans and the higher penetration of “
always connected” terminals have driven up the number of recorded CDRs, providing higher temporal accuracy for users’ locations.

Title Color representation in CNNs: parallelisms with biological vision Type (down) Conference Article
Year 2017 Publication ICCV Workshop on Mutual Benefits ofr Cognitive and Computer Vision Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords
Abstract Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) trained for object recognition tasks present representational capabilities approaching to primate visual systems [1]. This provides a computational framework to explore how image features
are efficiently represented. Here, we dissect a trained CNN
[2] to study how color is represented. We use a classical methodology used in physiology that is measuring index of selectivity of individual neurons to specific features. We use ImageNet Dataset [20] images and synthetic versions
of them to quantify color tuning properties of artificial neurons to provide a classification of the network population.
We conclude three main levels of color representation showing some parallelisms with biological visual systems: (a) a decomposition in a circular hue space to represent single color regions with a wider hue sampling beyond the first
layer (V2), (b) the emergence of opponent low-dimensional spaces in early stages to represent color edges (V1); and (c) a strong entanglement between color and shape patterns representing object-parts (e.g. wheel of a car), objectshapes (e.g. faces) or object-surrounds configurations (e.g. blue sky surrounding an object) in deeper layers (V4 or IT).

Title Learning structural loss parameters on graph embedding applied on symbolic graphs Type (down) Conference Article

Abstract We propose an amelioration of proposed Graph Embedding (GEM) method in previous work that takes advantages of structural pattern representation and the structured distortion. it models an Attributed Graph (AG) as a Probabilistic Graphical Model (PGM). Then, it learns the parameters of this PGM presented by a vector, as new signature of AG in a lower dimensional vectorial space. We focus to adapt the structured learning algorithm via 1_slack formulation with a suitable risk function, called Graph Edit Distance (GED). It defines the dissimilarity of the ground truth and predicted graph labels. It determines by the error tolerant graph matching using bipartite graph matching algorithm. We apply Structured Support Vector Machines (SSVM) to process classification task. During our experiments, we got our results on the GREC dataset.

Title Multispectral Single-Sensor RGB-NIR Imaging: New Challenges and Opportunities Type (down) Conference Article
Year 2017 Publication 7th International Conference on Image Processing Theory, Tools & Applications Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords Color restoration; Neural networks; Singlesensor cameras; Multispectral images; RGB-NIR dataset
Abstract Multispectral images captured with a single sensor camera have become an attractive alternative for numerous computer vision applications. However, in order to fully exploit their potentials, the color restoration problem (RGB representation) should be addressed. This problem is more evident in outdoor scenarios containing vegetation, living beings, or specular materials. The problem of color distortion emerges from the sensitivity of sensors due to the overlap of visible and near infrared spectral bands. This paper empirically evaluates the variability of the near infrared (NIR) information with respect to the changes of light throughout the day. A tiny neural network is proposed to restore the RGB color representation from the given RGBN (Red, Green, Blue, NIR) images. In order to evaluate the proposed algorithm, different experiments on a RGBN outdoor dataset are conducted, which include various challenging cases. The obtained result shows the challenge and the importance of addressing color restoration in single sensor multispectral images.

Volume 78 Issue Pages 1-16
Keywords Autonomous driving; sensorimotor control; simulation
Abstract We introduce CARLA, an open-source simulator for autonomous driving research. CARLA has been developed from the ground up to support development, training, and validation of autonomous urban driving systems. In addition to open-source code and protocols, CARLA provides open digital assets (urban layouts, buildings, vehicles) that were created for this purpose and can be used freely. The simulation platform supports flexible specification of sensor suites and environmental conditions. We use CARLA to study the performance of three approaches to autonomous driving: a classic modular pipeline, an endto-end
model trained via imitation learning, and an end-to-end model trained via
reinforcement learning. The approaches are evaluated in controlled scenarios of
increasing difficulty, and their performance is examined via metrics provided by CARLA, illustrating the platform’s utility for autonomous driving research.

Title Colour Constancy: Biologically-inspired Contrast Variant Pooling Mechanism Type (down) Conference Article
Year 2017 Publication 28th British Machine Vision Conference Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords
Abstract Pooling is a ubiquitous operation in image processing algorithms that allows for higher-level processes to collect relevant low-level features from a region of interest. Currently, max-pooling is one of the most commonly used operators in the computational literature. However, it can lack robustness to outliers due to the fact that it relies merely on the peak of a function. Pooling mechanisms are also present in the primate visual cortex where neurons of higher cortical areas pool signals from lower ones. The receptive fields of these neurons have been shown to vary according to the contrast by aggregating signals over a larger region in the presence of low contrast stimuli. We hypothesise that this contrast-variant-pooling mechanism can address some of the shortcomings of maxpooling. We modelled this contrast variation through a histogram clipping in which the percentage of pooled signal is inversely proportional to the local contrast of an image. We tested our hypothesis by applying it to the phenomenon of colour constancy where a number of popular algorithms utilise a max-pooling step (e.g. White-Patch, Grey-Edge and Double-Opponency). For each of these methods, we investigated the consequences of replacing their original max-pooling by the proposed contrast-variant-pooling. Our experiments on three colour constancy benchmark datasets suggest that previous results can significantly improve by adopting a contrast-variant-pooling mechanism.
