	Title	The ICDAR/GREC 2013 Music Scores Competition on Staff Removal			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2013	Publication	10th IAPR International Workshop on Graphics Recognition	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages
	Keywords	Competition; Music scores; Staff Removal
	Abstract	The ﬁrst competition on music scores that was organized at ICDAR and GREC in 2011 awoke the interest of researchers, who participated both at staff removal and writer identiﬁcation tasks. In this second edition, we propose a staff removal competition where we simulate old music scores. Thus, we have created a new set of images, which contain noise and 3D distortions. This paper describes the distortion methods, metrics, the participant’s methods and the obtained results.

	Title	Classification of Administrative Document Images by Logo Identification			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2013	Publication	10th IAPR International Workshop on Graphics Recognition	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages
	Keywords
	Abstract	This paper is focused on the categorization of administrative document images (such as invoices) based on the recognition of the supplier's graphical logo. Two different methods are proposed, the first one uses a bag-of-visual-words model whereas the second one tries to locate logo images described by the blurred shape model descriptor within documents by a sliding-window technique. Preliminar results are reported with a dataset of real administrative documents.

	Title	Spotting Graphical Symbols in Camera-Acquired Documents in Real Time			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2013	Publication	10th IAPR International Workshop on Graphics Recognition	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages
	Keywords
	Abstract	In this paper we present a system devoted to spot graphical symbols in camera-acquired document images. The system is based on the extraction and further matching of ORB compact local features computed over interest key-points. Then, the FLANN indexing framework based on approximate nearest neighbor search allows to efficiently match local descriptors between the captured scene and the graphical models. Finally, the RANSAC algorithm is used in order to compute the homography between the spotted symbol and its appearance in the document image. The proposed approach is efficient and is able to work in real time.

	Title	Multi-task Bilinear Classifiers for Visual Domain Adaptation			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2013	Publication	Advances in Neural Information Processing Systems Workshop	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages
	Keywords	Domain Adaptation; Pedestrian Detection; ADAS
	Abstract	We propose a method that aims to lessen the significant accuracy degradation that a discriminative classifier can suffer when it is trained in a specific domain (source domain) and applied in a different one (target domain). The principal reason for this degradation is the discrepancies in the distribution of the features that feed the classifier in different domains. Therefore, we propose a domain adaptation method that maps the features from the different domains into a common subspace and learns a discriminative domain-invariant classifier within it. Our algorithm combines bilinear classifiers and multi-task learning for domain adaptation. The bilinear classifier encodes the feature transformation and classification parameters by a matrix decomposition. In this way, specific feature transformations for multiple domains and a shared classifier are jointly learned in a multi-task learning framework. Focusing on domain adaptation for visual object detection, we apply this method to the state-of-the-art deformable part-based model for cross domain pedestrian detection. Experimental results show that our method significantly avoids the domain drift and improves the accuracy when compared to several baselines.

	Title	Perceptual retrieval of architectural floor plans			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2013	Publication	10th IAPR International Workshop on Graphics Recognition	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages
	Keywords
	Abstract	This paper proposes a runlength histogram signature as a percetual descriptor of architectural plans in a retrieval scenario. The style of an architectural drawing is characterized by the perception of lines, shapes and texture. Such visual stimuli are the basis for defining semantic concepts as space properties, symmetry, density, etc. We propose runlength histograms extracted in vertical, horizontal and diagonal directions as a characterization of line and space properties in floorplans, so it can be roughly associated to a description of walls and room structure. A retrieval application illustrates the performance of the proposed approach, where given a plan as a query, similar ones are obtained from a database. A ground truth based on human observation has been constructed to validate the hypothesis. Preliminary results show the interest of the proposed approach and opens a challenging research line in graphics recognition.

	Title	Combining structural and statistical strategies for unsupervised wall detection in floor plans			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2013	Publication	10th IAPR International Workshop on Graphics Recognition	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages
	Keywords
	Abstract	This paper presents an evolution of the first unsupervised wall segmentation method in floor plans, that was presented by the authors in [1]. This first approach, contrarily to the existing ones, is able to segment walls independently to their notation and without the need of any pre-annotated data to learn their visual appearance. Despite the good performance of the first approach, some specific cases, such as curved shaped walls, were not correctly segmented since they do not agree the strict structural assumptions that guide the whole methodology in order to be able to learn, in an unsupervised way, the structure of a wall. In this paper, we refine this strategy by dividing the process in two steps. In a first step, potential wall segments are extracted unsupervisedly using a modification of [1], by restricting even more the areas considered as walls in a first moment. In a second step, these segments are used to learn and spot lost instances based on a modified version of [2], also presented by the authors. The presented combined method have been tested on 4 datasets with different notations and compared with the stateof-the-art applyed on the same datasets. The results show its adaptability to different wall notations and shapes, significantly outperforming the original approach.

	Title	Color for Object Detection and Action Recognition			Type	Book Whole
	Year	2013	Publication	PhD Thesis, Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona-CVC	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages
	Keywords
	Abstract	Recognizing object categories in real world images is a challenging problem in computer vision. The deformable part based framework is currently the most successful approach for object detection. Generally, HOG are used for image representation within the part-based framework. For action recognition, the bag-of-word framework has shown to provide promising results. Within the bag-of-words framework, local image patches are described by SIFT descriptor. Contrary to object detection and action recognition, combining color and shape has shown to provide the best performance for object and scene recognition. In the first part of this thesis, we analyze the problem of person detection in still images. Standard person detection approaches rely on intensity based features for image representation while ignoring the color. Channel based descriptors is one of the most commonly used approaches in object recognition. This inspires us to evaluate incorporating color information using the channel based fusion approach for the task of person detection. In the second part of the thesis, we investigate the problem of object detection in still images. Due to high dimensionality, channel based fusion increases the computational cost. Moreover, channel based fusion has been found to obtain inferior results for object category where one of the visual varies significantly. On the other hand, late fusion is known to provide improved results for a wide range of object categories. A consequence of late fusion strategy is the need of a pure color descriptor. Therefore, we propose to use Color attributes as an explicit color representation for object detection. Color attributes are compact and computationally efficient. Consequently color attributes are combined with traditional shape features providing excellent results for object detection task. Finally, we focus on the problem of action detection and classification in still images. We investigate the potential of color for action classification and detection in still images. We also evaluate different fusion approaches for combining color and shape information for action recognition. Additionally, an analysis is performed to validate the contribution of color for action recognition. Our results clearly demonstrate that combining color and shape information significantly improve the performance of both action classification and detection in still images.

	Title	Pedestrian Detection Based on Local Experts			Type	Book Whole
	Year	2013	Publication	PhD Thesis, Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona-CVC	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages
	Keywords
	Abstract	During the last decade vision-based human detection systems have started to play a key rolein multiple applications linked to driver assistance, surveillance, robot sensing and home automation. Detecting humans is by far one of the most challenging tasks in Computer Vision. This is mainly due to the high degree of variability in the human appearanceassociated to the clothing, pose, shape and size. Besides, other factors such as cluttered scenarios, partial occlusions, or environmental conditions can make the detection task even harder. Most promising methods of the state-of-the-art rely on discriminative learning paradigms which are fed with positive and negative examples. The training data is one of the most relevant elements in order to build a robust detector as it has to cope the large variability of the target. In order to create this dataset human supervision is required. The drawback at this point is the arduous effort of annotating as well as looking for such claimed variability. In this PhD thesis we address two recurrent problems in the literature. In the first stage,we aim to reduce the consuming task of annotating, namely, by using computer graphics. More concretely, we develop a virtual urban scenario for later generating a pedestrian dataset. Then, we train a detector using this dataset, and finally we assess if this detector can be successfully applied in a real scenario. In the second stage, we focus on increasing the robustness of our pedestrian detectors under partial occlusions. In particular, we present a novel occlusion handling approach to increase the performance of block-based holistic methods under partial occlusions. For this purpose, we make use of local experts via a RandomSubspaceMethod (RSM) to handle these cases. If the method infers a possible partial occlusion, then the RSM, based on performance statistics obtained from partially occluded data, is applied. The last objective of this thesis is to propose a robust pedestrian detector based on an ensemble of local experts. To achieve this goal, we use the random forest paradigm, where the trees act as ensembles an their nodesare the local experts. In particular, each expert focus on performing a robust classification ofa pedestrian body patch. This approach offers computational efficiency and far less design complexity when compared to other state-of-the-artmethods, while reaching better accuracy

	Title	3D Motion Data aided Human Action Recognition and Pose Estimation			Type	Book Whole
	Year	2013	Publication	PhD Thesis, Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona-CVC	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages
	Keywords
	Abstract	In this work, we explore human action recognition and pose estimation prob- lems. Different from traditional works of learning from 2D images or video sequences and their annotated output, we seek to solve the problems with ad- ditional 3D motion capture information, which helps to fill the gap between 2D image features and human interpretations. We first compare two different schools of approaches commonly used for 3D pose estimation from 2D pose configuration: modeling and learning methods. By looking into experiments results and considering our problems, we fixed a learning method as the following approaches to do pose estimation. We then establish a framework by adding a module of detecting 2D pose configuration from images with varied background, which widely extend the application of the approach. We also seek to directly estimate 3D poses from image features, instead of estimating 2D poses as a intermediate module. We explore a robust input feature, which combined with the proposed distance measure, provides a solution for noisy or corrupted inputs. We further utilize the above method to estimate weak poses,which is a concise representation of the original poses by using dimension deduction technologies, from image features. Weak pose space is where we calculate vocabulary and label action types using a bog of words pipeline. Temporal information of an action is taken into consideration by considering several consecutive frames as a single unit for computing vocabulary and histogram assignments.
