Title Segmentation Robust to the Vignette Effect for Machine Vision Systems Type Conference Article
Year 2008 Publication 19th International Conference on Pattern Recognition Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords
Abstract The vignette effect (radial fall-off) is commonly encountered in images obtained through certain image acquisition setups and can seriously hinder automatic analysis processes. In this paper we present a fast and efficient method for dealing with vignetting in the context of object segmentation in an existing industrial inspection setup. The vignette effect is modelled here as a circular, non-linear gradient. The method estimates the gradient parameters and employs them to perform segmentation. Segmentation results on a variety of images indicate that the presented method is able to successfully tackle the vignette effect.

Title IVUS Tissue Characterization with Sub-class Error-correcting Output Codes Type Conference Article

Abstract Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) represents a powerful imaging technique to explore coronary vessels and to study their morphology and histologic properties. In this paper, we characterize different tissues based on Radio Frequency, texture-based, slope-based, and combined features. To deal with the classification of multiple tissues, we require the use of robust multi-class learning techniques. In this context, we propose a strategy to model multi-class classification tasks using sub-classes information in the ECOC framework. The new strategy splits the classes into different subsets according to the applied base classifier. Complex IVUS data sets containing overlapping data are learnt by splitting the original set of classes into sub-classes, and embedding the binary problems in a problem-dependent ECOC design. The method automatically characterizes different tissues, showing performance improvements over the state-of-the-art ECOC techniques for different base classifiers and feature sets.

Title Influence of the temporal resolution on the quantification of displacement fields in cardiac magnetic resonance tagged images Type Conference Article
Year 2008 Publication Proc. Computers in Cardiology Abbreviated Journal
Volume 35 Issue Pages 785-788
Keywords
Abstract It is difficult to acquire tagged cardiac MR images with a high temporal and spatial resolution using clinical MR scanners. However, if such images are used for quantifying scores based on motion, it is essential a resolution as high as possible. This paper explores the influence of the temporal resolution of a tagged series on the quantification of myocardial dynamic parameters. To such purpose we have designed a SPAMM (Spatial Modulation of Magnetization) sequence allowing acquisition of sequences at simple and double temporal resolution. Sequences are processed to compute myocardial motion by an automatic technique based on the tracking of the harmonic phase of tagged images (the Harmonic Phase Flow, HPF). The results have been compared to manual tracking of myocardial tags. The error in displacement fields for double resolution sequences reduces 17%.

Title A Variational Framework for Assessment of the Left Ventricle Motion Type Journal Article
Year 2008 Publication International Journal Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena Abbreviated Journal
Volume 3 Issue 6 Pages 76-100
Keywords Key words: Left Ventricle Dynamics, Ventricular Torsion, Tagged Magnetic Resonance, Motion Tracking, Variational Framework, Gabor Transform.
Abstract Impairment of left ventricular contractility due to cardiovascular diseases is reflected in left ventricle (LV) motion patterns. An abnormal change of torsion or long axis shortening LV values can help with the diagnosis and follow-up of LV dysfunction. Tagged Magnetic Resonance (TMR) is a widely spread medical imaging modality that allows estimation of the myocardial tissue local deformation. In this work, we introduce a novel variational framework for extracting the left ventricle dynamics from TMR sequences. A bi-dimensional representation space of TMR images given by Gabor filter banks is defined. Tracking of the phases of the Gabor response is combined using a variational framework which regularizes the deformation field just at areas where the Gabor amplitude drops, while restoring the underlying motion otherwise. The clinical applicability of the proposed method is illustrated by extracting normality models of the ventricular torsion from 19 healthy subjects.

Title Intrusion Classification in Intelligent Video Surveillance Systems Type Report
Year 2008 Publication Estudis d'Enginyeria Superior en Informática Abbreviated Journal UAB
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords Human detection; Car detection; Intrusion detection
Abstract An intelligent video surveillance system (IVS) is a camera-based installation able to process in real-time the images coming from the cameras. The aim is to automatically warn about different events of interest at the moment they happen. Daview system of Davantis is a com mercial example of IVS system. The problems addressed by any IVS system, and so Daview, are so challenging that none IVS system is perfect, thus, they need continuous improvement. Accordingly, this project aims to study different approaches in order to outperform current Daview performance, in particular, we bet for improving its classification core. We present an in deep study of the state of the art on IVS systems, as well as on how Daview works. Based on that knowledge, we propose four possibilities for improving Daview classification capabilities: improve existent classifiers; improve existing classifiers combination; create new classifiers and create new classifier-based architectures. Our main contribution has been the incorporation of state-of-the-art feature selection and machine learning techniques for the classification tasks, a viewpoint not fully addressed in current Daview system. After a comprehensive quantitative evaluation we will see how one of our proposals clearly outperforms the overall performance of current Daview system. In particular the classification core that we finally propose consists in an AdaBoost One-Against-All architecture that uses appearance and motion features that were already present in current Daview system

Title Rank Estimation in 3D Multibody Motion Segmentation Type Journal Article
Year 2008 Publication Electronic Letters Abbreviated Journal
Volume 44 Issue 4 Pages 279-280
Keywords
Abstract A novel technique for rank estimation in 3D multibody motion segmentation is proposed. It is based on the study of the frequency spectra of moving rigid objects and does not use or assume a prior knowledge of the objects contained in the scene (i.e. number of objects and motion). The significance of rank estimation on multibody motion segmentation results is shown by using two motion segmentation algorithms over both synthetic and real data.
