	Title	A Coarse-to-Fine Approach for Handwritten Word Spotting in Large Scale Historical Documents Collection			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2012	Publication	13th International Conference on Frontiers in Handwriting Recognition	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages	453-458
	Keywords
	Abstract	In this paper we propose an approach for word spotting in handwritten document images. We state the problem from a focused retrieval perspective, i.e. locating instances of a query word in a large scale dataset of digitized manuscripts. We combine two approaches, namely one based on word segmentation and another one segmentation-free. The first approach uses a hashing strategy to coarsely prune word images that are unlikely to be instances of the query word. This process is fast but has a low precision due to the errors introduced in the segmentation step. The regions containing candidate words are sent to the second process based on a state of the art technique from the visual object detection field. This discriminative model represents the appearance of the query word and computes a similarity score. In this way we propose a coarse-to-fine approach achieving a compromise between efficiency and accuracy. The validation of the model is shown using a collection of old handwritten manuscripts. We appreciate a substantial improvement in terms of precision regarding the previous proposed method with a low computational cost increase.

	Title	Efficient Exemplar Word Spotting			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2012	Publication	23rd British Machine Vision Conference	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages	67.1- 67.11
	Keywords
	Abstract	In this paper we propose an unsupervised segmentation-free method for word spotting in document images. Documents are represented with a grid of HOG descriptors, and a sliding window approach is used to locate the document regions that are most similar to the query. We use the exemplar SVM framework to produce a better representation of the query in an unsupervised way. Finally, the document descriptors are precomputed and compressed with Product Quantization. This offers two advantages: first, a large number of documents can be kept in RAM memory at the same time. Second, the sliding window becomes significantly faster since distances between quantized HOG descriptors can be precomputed. Our results significantly outperform other segmentation-free methods in the literature, both in accuracy and in speed and memory usage.

	Title	Multi-resolution DT-MRI cardiac tractography			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2012	Publication	Statistical Atlases And Computational Models Of The Heart: Imaging and Modelling Challenges	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume	7746	Issue		Pages	270-277
	Keywords
	Abstract	Even using objective measures from DT-MRI no consensus about myocardial architecture has been achieved so far. Streamlining provides good reconstructions at low level of detail, but falls short to give global abstract interpretations. In this paper, we present a multi-resolution methodology that is able to produce simplified representations of cardiac architecture. Our approach produces a reduced set of tracts that are representative of the main geometric features of myocardial anatomical structure. Experiments show that fiber geometry is preserved along reductions, which validates the simplified model for interpretation of cardiac architecture.

	Title	Image Contextual Representation and Matching through Hierarchies and Higher Order Graphs			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2012	Publication	21st International Conference on Pattern Recognition	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages	2664 - 2667
	Keywords
	Abstract	We present a region matching algorithm which establishes correspondences between regions from two segmented images. An abstract graph-based representation conceals the image in a hierarchical graph, exploiting the scene properties at two levels. First, the similarity and spatial consistency of the image semantic objects is encoded in a graph of commute times. Second, the cluttered regions of the semantic objects are represented with a shape descriptor. Many-to-many matching of regions is specially challenging due to the instability of the segmentation under slight image changes, and we explicitly handle it through high order potentials. We demonstrate the matching approach applied to images of world famous buildings, captured under different conditions, showing the robustness of our method to large variations in illumination and viewpoint.

	Title	What a difference in biomechanics cardiac fiber makes			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2012	Publication	Statistical Atlases And Computational Models Of The Heart: Imaging and Modelling Challenges	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume	7746	Issue		Pages	253-260
	Keywords
	Abstract	Computational simulations of the heart are a powerful tool for a comprehensive understanding of cardiac function and its intrinsic relationship with its muscular architecture. Cardiac biomechanical models require a vector field representing the orientation of cardiac fibers. A wrong orientation of the fibers can lead to a non-realistic simulation of the heart functionality. In this paper we explore the impact of the fiber information on the simulated biomechanics of cardiac muscular anatomy. We have used the John Hopkins database to perform a biomechanical simulation using both a synthetic benchmark fiber distribution and the data obtained experimentally from DTI. Results illustrate how differences in fiber orientation affect heart deformation along cardiac cycle.

	Title	A medial map capturing the essential geometry of organs			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2012	Publication	ISBI Workshop on Open Source Medical Image Analysis software	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages	1691 - 1694
	Keywords	Medial Surface Representation, Volume Reconstruction,Geometry , Image reconstruction , Liver , Manifolds , Shape , Surface morphology , Surface reconstruction
	Abstract	Medial representations are powerful tools for describing and parameterizing the volumetric shape of anatomical structures. Accurate computation of one pixel wide medial surfaces is mandatory. Those surfaces must represent faithfully the geometry of the volume. Although morphological methods produce excellent results in 2D, their complexity and quality drops across dimensions, due to a more complex description of pixel neighborhoods. This paper introduces a continuous operator for accurate and efficient computation of medial structures of arbitrary dimension. Our experiments show its higher performance for medical imaging applications in terms of simplicity of medial structures and capability for reconstructing the anatomical volume

	Title	A Complete Confidence Framework for Optical Flow			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2012	Publication	12th European Conference on Computer Vision – Workshops and Demonstrations	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume	7584	Issue	2	Pages	124-133
	Keywords	Optical flow, confidence measures, sparsification plots, error prediction plots
	Abstract	Medial representations are powerful tools for describing and parameterizing the volumetric shape of anatomical structures. Existing methods show excellent results when applied to 2D objects, but their quality drops across dimensions. This paper contributes to the computation of medial manifolds in two aspects. First, we provide a standard scheme for the computation of medial manifolds that avoid degenerated medial axis segments; second, we introduce an energy based method which performs independently of the dimension. We evaluate quantitatively the performance of our method with respect to existing approaches, by applying them to synthetic shapes of known medial geometry. Finally, we show results on shape representation of multiple abdominal organs, exploring the use of medial manifolds for the representation of multi-organ relations.

	Title	Depth Information in Human Gait Analysis: An Experimental Study on Gender Recognition			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2012	Publication	9th International Conference on Image Analysis and Recognition	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume	7325	Issue	II	Pages	98-105
	Keywords
	Abstract	This work presents DGait, a new gait database acquired with a depth camera. This database contains videos from 53 subjects walking in different directions. The intent of this database is to provide a public set to explore whether the depth can be used as an additional information source for gait classification purposes. Each video is labelled according to subject, gender and age. Furthermore, for each subject and view point, we provide initial and final frames of an entire walk cycle. On the other hand, we perform gait-based gender classification experiments with DGait database, in order to illustrate the usefulness of depth information for this purpose. In our experiments, we extract 2D and 3D gait features based on shape descriptors, and compare the performance of these features for gender identification, using a Kernel SVM. The obtained results show that depth can be an information source of great relevance for gait classification problems.

	Title	User Identification and Object Recognition in Clutter Scenes Based on RGB-Depth Analysis			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2012	Publication	7th Conference on Articulated Motion and Deformable Objects	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume	7378	Issue		Pages	1-11
	Keywords
	Abstract	We propose an automatic system for user identification and object recognition based on multi-modal RGB-Depth data analysis. We model a RGBD environment learning a pixel-based background Gaussian distribution. Then, user and object candidate regions are detected and recognized online using robust statistical approaches over RGBD descriptions. Finally, the system saves the historic of user-object assignments, being specially useful for surveillance scenarios. The system has been evaluated on a novel data set containing different indoor/outdoor scenarios, objects, and users, showing accurate recognition and better performance than standard state-of-the-art approaches.

	Title	Monocular Depth-based Background Estimation			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2012	Publication	7th International Conference on Computer Vision Theory and Applications	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages	323-328
	Keywords
	Abstract	In this paper, we address the problem of reconstructing the background of a scene from a video sequence with occluding objects. The images are taken by hand-held cameras. Our method composes the background by selecting the appropriate pixels from previously aligned input images. To do that, we minimize a cost function that penalizes the deviations from the following assumptions: background represents objects whose distance to the camera is maximal, and background objects are stationary. Distance information is roughly obtained by a supervised learning approach that allows us to distinguish between close and distant image regions. Moving foreground objects are filtered out by using stationariness and motion boundary constancy measurements. The cost function is minimized by a graph cuts method. We demonstrate the applicability of our approach to recover an occlusion-free background in a set of sequences.

	Title	Pedestrian Candidates Generation using Monocular Cues			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2012	Publication	IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages	7-12
	Keywords	pedestrian detection
	Abstract	Common techniques for pedestrian candidates generation (e.g., sliding window approaches) are based on an exhaustive search over the image. This implies that the number of windows produced is huge, which translates into a significant time consumption in the classification stage. In this paper, we propose a method that significantly reduces the number of windows to be considered by a classifier. Our method is a monocular one that exploits geometric and depth information available on single images. Both representations of the world are fused together to generate pedestrian candidates based on an underlying model which is focused only on objects standing vertically on the ground plane and having certain height, according with their depths on the scene. We evaluate our algorithm on a challenging dataset and demonstrate its application for pedestrian detection, where a considerable reduction in the number of candidate windows is reached.

	Title	Evaluation of Similarity Functions in Multimodal Stereo			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2012	Publication	9th International Conference on Image Analysis and Recognition	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume	7324	Issue	I	Pages	320-329
	Keywords	Aveiro, Portugal
	Abstract	This paper presents an evaluation framework for multimodal stereo matching, which allows to compare the performance of four similarity functions. Additionally, it presents details of a multimodal stereo head that supply thermal infrared and color images, as well as, aspects of its calibration and rectification. The pipeline includes a novel method for the disparity selection, which is suitable for evaluating the similarity functions. Finally, a benchmark for comparing different initializations of the proposed framework is presented. Similarity functions are based on mutual information, gradient orientation and scale space representations. Their evaluation is performed using two metrics: i) disparity error, and ii) number of correct matches on planar regions. In addition to the proposed evaluation, the current paper also shows that 3D sparse representations can be recovered from such a multimodal stereo head.

	Title	Color Correction using 3D Gaussian Mixture Models			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2012	Publication	9th International Conference on Image Analysis and Recognition	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume	7324	Issue	I	Pages	97-106
	Keywords
	Abstract	The current paper proposes a novel color correction approach based on a probabilistic segmentation framework by using 3D Gaussian Mixture Models. Regions are used to compute local color correction functions, which are then combined to obtain the final corrected image. The proposed approach is evaluated using both a recently published metric and two large data sets composed of seventy images. The evaluation is performed by comparing our algorithm with eight well known color correction algorithms. Results show that the proposed approach is the highest scoring color correction method. Also, the proposed single step 3D color space probabilistic segmentation reduces processing time over similar approaches.
