	Title	Biometric Recognition Based on Line Shape Descriptors			Type	Book Chapter
	Year	2006	Publication	Lecture Notes in Computer Science	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume	3926	Issue		Pages	346–357,
	Keywords
	Abstract	Abstract. In this paper we propose biometric descriptors inspired by shape signatures traditionally used in graphics recognition approaches. In particular several methods based on line shape descriptors used to iden- tify newborns from the biometric information of the ears are developed. The process steps are the following: image acquisition, ear segmentation, ear normalization, feature extraction and identification. Several shape signatures are defined from contour images. These are formulated in terms of zoning and contour crossings descriptors. Experimental results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the used techniques.

	Title	Real Time Vehicle Pose Using On-Board Stereo Vision System			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2006	Publication	International Conference on Image Analysis and Recognition	Abbreviated Journal	ICIAR
	Volume		Issue	LNCS 4142	Pages	205–216
	Keywords
	Abstract	This paper presents a robust technique for a real time estimation of both camera’s position and orientation—referred as pose. A commercial stereo vision system is used. Unlike previous approaches, it can be used either for urban or highway scenarios. The proposed technique consists of two stages. Initially, a compact 2D representation of the original 3D data points is computed. Then, a RANSAC based least squares approach is used for fitting a plane to the road. At the same time, relative camera’s position and orientation are computed. The proposed technique is intended to be used on a driving assistance scheme for applications such as obstacle or pedestrian detection. Experimental results on urban environments with different road geometries are presented.

	Title	Pedestrian Detection Using AdaBoost Learning of Features and Vehicle Pitch Estimation			Type	Miscellaneous
	Year	2006	Publication	6th IASTED International Conference on Visualization, Imaging and Image Processing	Abbreviated Journal	VIIP
	Volume		Issue		Pages	400–405
	Keywords	ADAS, pedestrian detection, adaboost learning, pitch estimation, haar wavelets, edge orientation histograms.
	Abstract	In this paper we propose a combination of different Haar filter sets and Edge Orientation Histograms (EOH) in order to learn a model for pedestrian detection. As we will show, with the addition of EOH we obtain better ROCs than using Haar filters alone. Hence, a model consisting of discriminant features, selected by AdaBoost, is applied at pedestrian-sized image windows in order to perform the classification. Additionally, taking into account the final application, a driver assistance system with realtime requirements, we propose a novel stereo-based camera pitch estimation to reduce the number of explored windows. With this approach, the system can work in urban roads, as will be illustrated by current results.

	Title	Vessel structures alignment by spectral analysis of ivus sequences			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2006	Publication	Proc. of CVII, MICCAI Workshop	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages	39-36
	Keywords
	Abstract	Three-dimensional intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) allows to visualize and obtain volumetric measurements of coronary lesions through an exploration of the cross sections and longitudinal views of arteries. However, the visualization and subsequent morpho-geometric measurements in IVUS longitudinal cuts are subject to distortion caused by periodic image/vessel motion around the IVUS catheter. Usually, to overcome the image motion artifact ECG-gating and image-gated approaches are proposed, leading to slowing the pullback acquisition or disregarding part of IVUS data. In this paper, we argue that the image motion is due to 3-D vessel geometry as well as cardiac dynamics, and propose a dynamic model based on the tracking of an elliptical vessel approximation to recover the rigid transformation and align IVUS images without loosing any IVUS data. We report an extensive validation with synthetic simulated data and in vivo IVUS sequences of 30 patients achieving an average reduction of the image artifact of 97% in synthetic data and 79% in real-data. Our study shows that IVUS alignment improves longitudinal analysis of the IVUS data and is a necessary step towards accurate reconstruction and volumetric measurements of 3-D IVUS.

	Title	ROC curves and video analysis optimization in intestinal capsule endoscopy			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2006	Publication	Pattern Recognition Letters	Abbreviated Journal	PRL
	Volume	27	Issue	8	Pages	875–881
	Keywords	ROC curves; Classification; Classifiers ensemble; Detection of intestinal contractions; Imbalanced classes; Wireless capsule endoscopy
	Abstract	Wireless capsule endoscopy involves inspection of hours of video material by a highly qualified professional. Time episodes corresponding to intestinal contractions, which are of interest to the physician constitute about 1% of the video. The problem is to label automatically time episodes containing contractions so that only a fraction of the video needs inspection. As the classes of contraction and non-contraction images in the video are largely imbalanced, ROC curves are used to optimize the trade-off between false positive and false negative rates. Classifier ensemble methods and simple classifiers were examined. Our results reinforce the claims from recent literature that classifier ensemble methods specifically designed for imbalanced problems have substantial advantages over simple classifiers and standard classifier ensembles. By using ROC curves with the bagging ensemble method the inspection time can be drastically reduced at the expense of a small fraction of missed contractions.

	Title	Adaptive Correlation Filters for Pattern Recognition			Type	Journal
	Year	2006	Publication	Pattern Recognition and Image Analysis	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume	16	Issue	3	Pages	425-431
	Keywords	Pattern recognition, Correlation filters, A adaptive filters
	Abstract	Adaptive correlation filters based on synthetic discriminant functions (SDFs) for reliable pattern recognition are proposed. A given value of discrimination capability can be achieved by adapting a SDF filter to the input scene. This can be done by iterative training. Computer simulation results obtained with the proposed filters are compared with those of various correlation filters in terms of recognition performance.

	Title	On the Use of External Face Features for Identity Verification			Type	Journal
	Year	2006	Publication	Journal of Multimedia, 1(4): 11–20	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume	1	Issue	4	Pages	11-20
	Keywords	Face Verification, Computer Vision, Machine Learning
	Abstract	In general automatic face classification applications images are captured in natural environments. In these cases, the performance is affected by variations in facial images related to illumination, pose, occlusion or expressions. Most of the existing face classification systems use only the internal features information, composed by eyes, nose and mouth, since they are more difficult to imitate. Nevertheless, nowadays a lot of applications not related to security are developed, and in these cases the information located at head, chin or ears zones (external features) can be useful to improve the current accuracies. However, the lack of a natural alignment in these areas makes difficult to extract these features applying classic Bottom-Up methods. In this paper, we propose a complete scheme based on a Top-Down reconstruction algorithm to extract external features of face images. To test our system we have performed face verification experiments using public databases, given that identity verification is a general task that has many real life applications. We have considered images uniformly illuminated, images with occlusions and images with high local changes in the illumination, and the obtained results show that the information contributed by the external features can be useful for verification purposes, specially significant when faces are partially occluded.

	Title	A PBL Experience in the Teaching of Computer Graphics			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2006	Publication	Computer Graphics Forum	Abbreviated Journal	CGF
	Volume	25	Issue	1	Pages	95-103
	Keywords
	Abstract	Project-Based Learning (PBL) is an educational strategy to improve student’s learning capability that, in recent years, has had a progressive acceptance in undergraduate studies. This methodology is based on solving a problem or project in a student working group. In this way, PBL focuses on learning the necessary tools to correctly find a solution to given problems. Since the learning initiative is transferred to the student, the PBL method promotes students own abilities. This allows a better assessment of the true workload that carries out the student in the subject. It follows that the methodology conforms to the guidelines of the Bologna document, which quantifies the student workload in a subject by means of the European credit transfer system (ECTS). PBL is currently applied in undergraduate studies needing strong practical training such as medicine, nursing or law sciences. Although this is also the case in engineering studies, amazingly, few experiences have been reported. In this paper we propose to use PBL in the educational organization of the Computer Graphics subjects in the Computer Science degree. Our PBL project focuses in the development of a C++ graphical environment based on the OpenGL libraries for visualization and handling of different graphical objects. The starting point is a basic skeleton that already includes lighting functions, perspective projection with mouse interaction to change the point of view and three predefined objects. Students have to complete this skeleton by adding their own functions to solve the project. A total number of 10 projects have been proposed and successfully solved. The exercises range from human face rendering to articulated objects, such as robot arms or puppets. In the present paper we extensively report the statement and educational objectives for two of the projects: solar system visualization and a chess game. We report our earlier educational experience based on the standard classroom theoretical, problem and practice sessions and the reasons that motivated searching for other learning methods. We have mainly chosen PBL because it improves the student learning initiative. We have applied the PBL educational model since the beginning of the second semester. The student’s feedback increases in his interest for the subject. We present a comparative study of the teachers’ and students’ workload between PBL and the classic teaching approach, which suggests that the workload increase in PBL is not as high as it seems.

	Title	Statistical Strategy for Anisotropic Adventitia Modelling in IVUS			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2006	Publication	IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume	25	Issue	6	Pages	768-778
	Keywords	Corners; T-junctions; Wavelets
	Abstract	Vessel plaque assessment by analysis of intravascular ultrasound sequences is a useful tool for cardiac disease diagnosis and intervention. Manual detection of luminal (inner) and mediaadventitia (external) vessel borders is the main activity of physicians in the process of lumen narrowing (plaque) quantification. Difficult definition of vessel border descriptors, as well as, shades, artifacts, and blurred signal response due to ultrasound physical properties trouble automated adventitia segmentation. In order to efficiently approach such a complex problem, we propose blending advanced anisotropic filtering operators and statistical classification techniques into a vessel border modelling strategy. Our systematic statistical analysis shows that the reported adventitia detection achieves an accuracy in the range of interobserver variability regardless of plaque nature, vessel geometry, and incomplete vessel borders. Index Terms–-Anisotropic processing, intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), vessel border segmentation, vessel structure classification.
