  Title Conditional Random Fields for image segmentation in Intravascular Ultrasound Type Conference Article
  Year 2010 Publication Medical Image Computing in Catalunya: Graduate Student Workshop Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages 13–14  
  Keywords  
  Abstract We present a Conditional Random Fields based approach for segmenting Intravascular Ultrasond (IVUS) images. The presented method uses a contextual discriminative graphical model to deal with the presence of distorsions and artifacts in IVUS images, that turns the segmentation of interesting regions into a difficult task. An accurate lumen segmentation on IVUS longitudinal images is achieved.

  Title Combining Context and Appearance for Road Detection Type Book Whole
  Year 2010 Publication PhD Thesis, Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona-CVC Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords  
  Abstract Road traffic crashes have become a major cause of death and injury throughout the world.
Hence, in order to improve road safety, the automobile manufacture is moving towards the
development of vehicles with autonomous functionalities such as keeping in the right lane, safe distance keeping between vehicles or regulating the speed of the vehicle according to the traffic conditions. A key component of these systems is vision–based road detection that aims to detect the free road surface ahead the moving vehicle. Detecting the road using a monocular vision system is very challenging since the road is an outdoor scenario imaged from a mobile platform. Hence, the detection algorithm must be able to deal with continuously changing imaging conditions such as the presence ofdifferent objects (vehicles, pedestrians), different environments (urban, highways, off–road), different road types (shape, color), and different imaging conditions (varying illumination, different viewpoints and changing weather conditions). Therefore, in this thesis, we focus on vision–based road detection using a single color camera. More precisely, we first focus on analyzing and grouping pixels according to their low–level properties. In this way, two different approaches are presented to exploit
color and photometric invariance. Then, we focus the research of the thesis on exploiting context information. This information provides relevant knowledge about the road not using pixel features from road regions but semantic information from the analysis of the scene.
In this way, we present two different approaches to infer the geometry of the road ahead
the moving vehicle. Finally, we focus on combining these context and appearance (color)
approaches to improve the overall performance of road detection algorithms. The qualitative and quantitative results presented in this thesis on real–world driving sequences show that the proposed method is robust to varying imaging conditions, road types and scenarios going beyond the state–of–the–art.

  Title Multi-Oriented and Multi-Scaled Text Character Analysis and Recognition in Graphical Documents and their Applications to Document Image Retrieval Type Book Whole
  Year 2010 Publication PhD Thesis, Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona-CVC Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords  
  Abstract With the advent research of Document Image Analysis and Recognition (DIAR), an
important line of research is explored on indexing and retrieval of graphics rich documents. It aims at finding relevant documents relying on segmentation and recognition
of text and graphics components underlying in non-standard layout where commercial
OCRs can not be applied due to complexity. This thesis is focused towards text information extraction approaches in graphical documents and retrieval of such documents
using text information.
Automatic text recognition in graphical documents (map, engineering drawing,
etc.) involves many challenges because text characters are usually printed in multioriented and multi-scale way along with different graphical objects. Text characters
are used to annotate the graphical curve lines and hence, many times they follow
curvi-linear paths too. For OCR of such documents, individual text lines and their
corresponding words/characters need to be extracted.
For recognition of multi-font, multi-scale and multi-oriented characters, we have
proposed a feature descriptor for character shape using angular information from contour pixels to take care of the invariance nature. To improve the efficiency of OCR, an
approach towards the segmentation of multi-oriented touching strings into individual
characters is also discussed. Convex hull based background information is used to
segment a touching string into possible primitive segments and later these primitive
segments are merged to get optimum segmentation using dynamic programming. To
overcome the touching/overlapping problem of text with graphical lines, a character
spotting approach using SIFT and skeleton information is included. Afterwards, we
propose a novel method to extract individual curvi-linear text lines using the foreground and background information of the characters of the text and a water reservoir
concept is used to utilize the background information.
We have also formulated the methodologies for graphical document retrieval applications using query words and seals. The retrieval approaches are performed using
recognition results of individual components in the document. Given a query text,
the system extracts positional knowledge from the query word and uses the same to
generate hypothetical locations in the document. Indexing of documents is also performed based on automatic detection of seals from documents containing cluttered
background. A seal is characterized by scale and rotation invariant spatial feature
descriptors computed from labelled text characters and a concept based on the Generalized Hough Transform is used to locate the seal in documents.

  Title Reduction of Pattern Search Area in Colonoscopy Images by Merging Non-Informative Regions Type Conference Article
  Year 2010 Publication 28th Congreso Anual de la Sociedad Española de Ingeniería Biomédica Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords  
  Abstract One of the first usual steps in pattern recognition schemas is image segmentation, in order to reduce the dimensionality of the problem and manage smaller quantity of data. In our case as we are pursuing real-time colon cancer polyp detection, this step is crucial. In this paper we present a non-informative region estimation algorithm that will let us discard some parts of the image where we will not expect to find colon cancer polyps. The performance of our approach will be measured in terms of both non-informative areas elimination and polyps’ areas preserving. The results obtained show the importance of having correct non- informative region estimation in order to fasten the whole recognition process.

  Title Conditions Ensuring Accuracy of Local Optical Flow Schemes Type Report
  Year 2010 Publication CVC Tehcnical Report Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 157 Issue Pages  
  Keywords  
  Abstract Accurate computation of optical flow is a key-point in many image processing fields. Detection of anomalous and unpredicted agents (such as pedestrians, bikers or cars) in urban scenes or pathology discrimination in medical imaging sequences, to mention just a two. The above kinds sequences present two main difficulties for standard optical flow techniques. On one hand, variability in acquisition conditions (illuminance, medical imaging modality, ...) force an alterantive representation for images fulfilling the britghtness constancy constrain. On the hand, current variational schemes produce oversmoothed fields unable to properly model discontinuous behaviours such as collisions or functionless pathological areas. This master project explores the abilities and limitations of local and global optical flow approaches. The master student will put especial emphasis in the theoretical grounds behind in order to design a variational framework combining the theoretical advantages of the considered techniques. In particular an optical flow based on Gabor phase tracking (developed in the group for medical imaging) will be generalized to urban scenes.

  Title Finger joint modelling from hand X-ray images for assessing rheumatoid arthritis Type Report
  Year 2010 Publication CVC Technical Report Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 164 Issue Pages  
  Keywords Rheumatoid arthritis; joint detection; X-ray; Van der Heijde score  
  Abstract Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune, systemic, inflammatory disorder that mainly af- fects bone joints. While there is no cure for this disease, continuous advances on palliative treatments require frequent verification of patient’s illness evolution. Such evolution is mea- sured through several available semi-quantitative methods that require evaluation of hand and foot X-ray images. Accurate assessment is a time consuming task that requires highly trained personnel. This hinders a generalized use in clinical practice for early diagnose and disease follow-up. In the context of the automatization of such evaluation methods we present a method for detection and characterization of finger joints in hand radiography images. Several measures for assessing the reduction of joint space width are proposed. We compare for the first time such measures to the Van der Heijde score, the gold standard method for rheumatoid arthritis assessment. The proposed method outperforms existing strategies with a detection rate above 95%. Our comparison to Van der Heijde index shows a promising correlation that encourages further research.
