	Title	Local Binary Pattern for Word Spotting in Handwritten Historical Document			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2016	Publication	Joint IAPR International Workshops on Statistical Techniques in Pattern Recognition (SPR) and Structural and Syntactic Pattern Recognition (SSPR)	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages	574-583
	Keywords	Local binary patterns; Spatial sampling; Learning-free; Word spotting; Handwritten; Historical document analysis; Large-scale data
	Abstract	Digital libraries store images which can be highly degraded and to index this kind of images we resort to word spotting as our information retrieval system. Information retrieval for handwritten document images is more challenging due to the difficulties in complex layout analysis, large variations of writing styles, and degradation or low quality of historical manuscripts. This paper presents a simple innovative learning-free method for word spotting from large scale historical documents combining Local Binary Pattern (LBP) and spatial sampling. This method offers three advantages: firstly, it operates in completely learning free paradigm which is very different from unsupervised learning methods, secondly, the computational time is significantly low because of the LBP features, which are very fast to compute, and thirdly, the method can be used in scenarios where annotations are not available. Finally, we compare the results of our proposed retrieval method with other methods in the literature and we obtain the best results in the learning free paradigm.

	Title	Information Theoretic Rotationwise Robust Binary Descriptor Learning			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2016	Publication	Joint IAPR International Workshops on Statistical Techniques in Pattern Recognition (SPR) and Structural and Syntactic Pattern Recognition (SSPR)	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages	368-378
	Keywords
	Abstract	In this paper, we propose a new data-driven approach for binary descriptor selection. In order to draw a clear analysis of common designs, we present a general information-theoretic selection paradigm. It encompasses several standard binary descriptor construction schemes, including a recent state-of-the-art one named BOLD. We pursue the same endeavor to increase the stability of the produced descriptors with respect to rotations. To achieve this goal, we have designed a novel offline selection criterion which is better adapted to the online matching procedure. The effectiveness of our approach is demonstrated on two standard datasets, where our descriptor is compared to BOLD and to several classical descriptors. In particular, it emerges that our approach can reproduce equivalent if not better performance as BOLD while relying on twice shorter descriptors. Such an improvement can be influential for real-time applications.

	Title	Sympathy for the Details: Dense Trajectories and Hybrid Classification Architectures for Action Recognition			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2016	Publication	14th European Conference on Computer Vision	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages	697-716
	Keywords
	Abstract	Action recognition in videos is a challenging task due to the complexity of the spatio-temporal patterns to model and the difficulty to acquire and learn on large quantities of video data. Deep learning, although a breakthrough for image classification and showing promise for videos, has still not clearly superseded action recognition methods using hand-crafted features, even when training on massive datasets. In this paper, we introduce hybrid video classification architectures based on carefully designed unsupervised representations of hand-crafted spatio-temporal features classified by supervised deep networks. As we show in our experiments on five popular benchmarks for action recognition, our hybrid model combines the best of both worlds: it is data efficient (trained on 150 to 10000 short clips) and yet improves significantly on the state of the art, including recent deep models trained on millions of manually labelled images and videos.

	Title	Spatiotemporal Facial Super-Pixels for Pain Detection			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2016	Publication	9th Conference on Articulated Motion and Deformable Objects	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages
	Keywords	Facial images; Super-pixels; Spatiotemporal filters; Pain detection
	Abstract	Best student paper award. Pain detection using facial images is of critical importance in many Health applications. Since pain is a spatiotemporal process, recent works on this topic employ facial spatiotemporal features to detect pain. These systems extract such features from the entire area of the face. In this paper, we show that by employing super-pixels we can divide the face into three regions, in a way that only one of these regions (about one third of the face) contributes to the pain estimation and the other two regions can be discarded. The experimental results on the UNBCMcMaster database show that the proposed system using this single region outperforms state-of-the-art systems in detecting no-pain scenarios, while it reaches comparable results in detecting weak and severe pain scenarios.

	Title	Action Recognition by Pairwise Proximity Function Support Vector Machines with Dynamic Time Warping Kernels			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2016	Publication	29th Canadian Conference on Artificial Intelligence	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume	9673	Issue		Pages	3-14
	Keywords
	Abstract	In the context of human action recognition using skeleton data, the 3D trajectories of joint points may be considered as multi-dimensional time series. The traditional recognition technique in the literature is based on time series dis(similarity) measures (such as Dynamic Time Warping). For these general dis(similarity) measures, k-nearest neighbor algorithms are a natural choice. However, k-NN classifiers are known to be sensitive to noise and outliers. In this paper, a new class of Support Vector Machine that is applicable to trajectory classification, such as action recognition, is developed by incorporating an efficient time-series distances measure into the kernel function. More specifically, the derivative of Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) distance measure is employed as the SVM kernel. In addition, the pairwise proximity learning strategy is utilized in order to make use of non-positive semi-definite (PSD) kernels in the SVM formulation. The recognition results of the proposed technique on two action recognition datasets demonstrates the ourperformance of our methodology compared to the state-of-the-art methods. Remarkably, we obtained 89 % accuracy on the well-known MSRAction3D dataset using only 3D trajectories of body joints obtained by Kinect

	Title	Context, multimodality, and user collaboration in handwritten text processing: the CoMUN-HaT project			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2016	Publication	3rd IberSPEECH	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages
	Keywords
	Abstract	Processing of handwritten documents is a task that is of wide interest for many purposes, such as those related to preserve cultural heritage. Handwritten text recognition techniques have been successfully applied during the last decade to obtain transcriptions of handwritten documents, and keyword spotting techniques have been applied for searching specific terms in image collections of handwritten documents. However, results on transcription and indexing are far from perfect. In this framework, the use of new data sources arises as a new paradigm that will allow for a better transcription and indexing of handwritten documents. Three main different data sources could be considered: context of the document (style, writer, historical time, topics,. . . ), multimodal data (representations of the document in a different modality, such as the speech signal of the dictation of the text), and user feedback (corrections, amendments,. . . ). The CoMUN-HaT project aims at the integration of these different data sources into the transcription and indexing task for handwritten documents: the use of context derived from the analysis of the documents, how multimodality can aid the recognition process to obtain more accurate transcriptions (including transcription in a modern version of the language), and integration into a userin-the-loop assisted text transcription framework. This will be reflected in the construction of a transcription and indexing platform that can be used by both professional and nonprofessional users, contributing to crowd-sourcing activities to preserve cultural heritage and to obtain an accessible version of the involved corpus.

	Title	GPU-based pedestrian detection for autonomous driving			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2016	Publication	GPU Technology Conference	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages
	Keywords	Pedestrian Detection; GPU
	Abstract	Pedestrian detection for autonomous driving is one of the hardest tasks within computer vision, and involves huge computational costs. Obtaining acceptable real-time performance, measured in frames per second (fps), for the most advanced algorithms is nowadays a hard challenge. Taking the work in [1] as our baseline, we propose a CUDA implementation of a pedestrian detection system that includes LBP and HOG as feature descriptors and SVM and Random forest as classifiers. We introduce significant algorithmic adjustments and optimizations to adapt the problem to the NVIDIA GPU architecture. The aim is to deploy a real-time system providing reliable results.

	Title	Real-time 3D Reconstruction for Autonomous Driving via Semi-Global Matching			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2016	Publication	GPU Technology Conference	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages
	Keywords	Stereo; Autonomous Driving; GPU; 3d reconstruction
	Abstract	Robust and dense computation of depth information from stereo-camera systems is a computationally demanding requirement for real-time autonomous driving. Semi-Global Matching (SGM) [1] approximates heavy-computation global algorithms results but with lower computational complexity, therefore it is a good candidate for a real-time implementation. SGM minimizes energy along several 1D paths across the image. The aim of this work is to provide a real-time system producing reliable results on energy-efficient hardware. Our design runs on a NVIDIA Titan X GPU at 104.62 FPS and on a NVIDIA Drive PX at 6.7 FPS, promising for real-time platforms

	Title	Comparison of two non-linear model-based control strategies for autonomous vehicles			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2016	Publication	24th Mediterranean Conference on Control and Automation	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages	846-851
	Keywords	Autonomous Driving; Control
	Abstract	This paper presents the comparison of two nonlinear model-based control strategies for autonomous cars. A control oriented model of vehicle based on a bicycle model is used. The two control strategies use a model reference approach. Using this approach, the error dynamics model is developed. Both controllers receive as input the longitudinal, lateral and orientation errors generating as control outputs the steering angle and the velocity of the vehicle. The first control approach is based on a non-linear control law that is designed by means of the Lyapunov direct approach. The second approach is based on a sliding mode-control that defines a set of sliding surfaces over which the error trajectories will converge. The main advantage of the sliding-control technique is the robustness against non-linearities and parametric uncertainties in the model. However, the main drawback of first order sliding mode is the chattering, so it has been implemented a high order sliding mode control. To test and compare the proposed control strategies, different path following scenarios are used in simulation.

	Title	Filtrage de descripteurs locaux pour l'amélioration de la détection de documents			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2016	Publication	Colloque International Francophone sur l'Écrit et le Document	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages
	Keywords	Local descriptors; mobile capture; document matching; keypoint selection
	Abstract	In this paper we propose an effective method aimed at reducing the amount of local descriptors to be indexed in a document matching framework.In an off-line training stage, the matching between the model document and incoming images is computed retaining the local descriptors from the model that steadily produce good matches. We have evaluated this approach by using the ICDAR2015 SmartDOC dataset containing near 25000 images from documents to be captured by a mobile device. We have tested the performance of this filtering step by using ORB and SIFT local detectors and descriptors. The results show an important gain both in quality of the final matching as well as in time and space requirements.

	Title	On-the-fly Network pruning for object detection			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2016	Publication	International conference on learning representations	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages
	Keywords
	Abstract	Object detection with deep neural networks is often performed by passing a few thousand candidate bounding boxes through a deep neural network for each image. These bounding boxes are highly correlated since they originate from the same image. In this paper we investigate how to exploit feature occurrence at the image scale to prune the neural network which is subsequently applied to all bounding boxes. We show that removing units which have near-zero activation in the image allows us to significantly reduce the number of parameters in the network. Results on the PASCAL 2007 Object Detection Challenge demonstrate that up to 40% of units in some fully-connected layers can be entirely eliminated with little change in the detection result.

	Title	Continuous Supervised Descent Method for Facial Landmark Localisation			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2016	Publication	13th Asian Conference on Computer Vision	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume	10112	Issue		Pages	121-135
	Keywords
	Abstract	Recent methods for facial landmark location perform well on close-to-frontal faces but have problems in generalising to large head rotations. In order to address this issue we propose a second order linear regression method that is both compact and robust against strong rotations. We provide a closed form solution, making the method fast to train. We test the method’s performance on two challenging datasets. The first has been intensely used by the community. The second has been specially generated from a well known 3D face dataset. It is considerably more challenging, including a high diversity of rotations and more samples than any other existing public dataset. The proposed method is compared against state-of-the-art approaches, including RCPR, CGPRT, LBF, CFSS, and GSDM. Results upon both datasets show that the proposed method offers state-of-the-art performance on near frontal view data, improves state-of-the-art methods on more challenging head rotation problems and keeps a compact model size.

	Title	Hierarchical Part Detection with Deep Neural Networks			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2016	Publication	23rd IEEE International Conference on Image Processing	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages
	Keywords	Object Recognition; Part Detection; Convolutional Neural Networks
	Abstract	Part detection is an important aspect of object recognition. Most approaches apply object proposals to generate hundreds of possible part bounding box candidates which are then evaluated by part classifiers. Recently several methods have investigated directly regressing to a limited set of bounding boxes from deep neural network representation. However, for object parts such methods may be unfeasible due to their relatively small size with respect to the image. We propose a hierarchical method for object and part detection. In a single network we first detect the object and then regress to part location proposals based only on the feature representation inside the object. Experiments show that our hierarchical approach outperforms a network which directly regresses the part locations. We also show that our approach obtains part detection accuracy comparable or better than state-of-the-art on the CUB-200 bird and Fashionista clothing item datasets with only a fraction of the number of part proposals.

	Title	A brief Review of the ChaLearn AutoML Challenge: Any-time Any-dataset Learning without Human Intervention			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2016	Publication	AutoML Workshop	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue	1	Pages	1-8
	Keywords	AutoML Challenge; machine learning; model selection; meta-learning; repre- sentation learning; active learning
	Abstract	The ChaLearn AutoML Challenge team conducted a large scale evaluation of fully automatic, black-box learning machines for feature-based classification and regression problems. The test bed was composed of 30 data sets from a wide variety of application domains and ranged across different types of complexity. Over six rounds, participants succeeded in delivering AutoML software capable of being trained and tested without human intervention. Although improvements can still be made to close the gap between human-tweaked and AutoML models, this competition contributes to the development of fully automated environments by challenging practitioners to solve problems under specific constraints and sharing their approaches; the platform will remain available for post-challenge submissions at http://codalab.org/AutoML.
