	Title	Text Segmentation in Colour Posters from the Spanish Civil War Era			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2009	Publication	10th International Conference on Document Analysis and Recognition	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages	181 - 185
	Keywords
	Abstract	The extraction of textual content from colour documents of a graphical nature is a complicated task. The text can be rendered in any colour, size and orientation while the existence of complex background graphics with repetitive patterns can make its localization and segmentation extremely difficult. Here, we propose a new method for extracting textual content from such colour images that makes no assumption as to the size of the characters, their orientation or colour, while it is tolerant to characters that do not follow a straight baseline. We evaluate this method on a collection of documents with historical connotations: the Posters from the Spanish Civil War.

	Title	Inferring the Performance of Medical Imaging Algorithms			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2011	Publication	14th International Conference on Computer Analysis of Images and Patterns	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume	6854	Issue		Pages	520-528
	Keywords	Validation, Statistical Inference, Medical Imaging Algorithms.
	Abstract	Evaluation of the performance and limitations of medical imaging algorithms is essential to estimate their impact in social, economic or clinical aspects. However, validation of medical imaging techniques is a challenging task due to the variety of imaging and clinical problems involved, as well as, the difficulties for systematically extracting a reliable solely ground truth. Although specific validation protocols are reported in any medical imaging paper, there are still two major concerns: definition of standardized methodologies transversal to all problems and generalization of conclusions to the whole clinical data set. We claim that both issues would be fully solved if we had a statistical model relating ground truth and the output of computational imaging techniques. Such a statistical model could conclude to what extent the algorithm behaves like the ground truth from the analysis of a sampling of the validation data set. We present a statistical inference framework reporting the agreement and describing the relationship of two quantities. We show its transversality by applying it to validation of two different tasks: contour segmentation and landmark correspondence.

	Title	Regularized Multi-Concept MIL for weakly-supervised facial behavior categorization			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2014	Publication	25th British Machine Vision Conference	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages
	Keywords
	Abstract	We address the problem of estimating high-level semantic labels for videos of recorded people by means of analysing their facial expressions. This problem, to which we refer as facial behavior categorization, is a weakly-supervised learning problem where we do not have access to frame-by-frame facial gesture annotations but only weak-labels at the video level are available. Therefore, the goal is to learn a set of discriminative expressions and how they determine the video weak-labels. Facial behavior categorization can be posed as a Multi-Instance-Learning (MIL) problem and we propose a novel MIL method called Regularized Multi-Concept MIL to solve it. In contrast to previous approaches applied in facial behavior analysis, RMC-MIL follows a Multi-Concept assumption which allows different facial expressions (concepts) to contribute differently to the video-label. Moreover, to handle with the high-dimensional nature of facial-descriptors, RMC-MIL uses a discriminative approach to model the concepts and structured sparsity regularization to discard non-informative features. RMC-MIL is posed as a convex-constrained optimization problem where all the parameters are jointly learned using the Projected-Quasi-Newton method. In our experiments, we use two public data-sets to show the advantages of the Regularized Multi-Concept approach and its improvement compared to existing MIL methods. RMC-MIL outperforms state-of-the-art results in the UNBC data-set for pain detection.

	Title	Multiscale Tractography for Representing Heart Muscular Architecture			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2011	Publication	In MICCAI 2011 Workshop on Computational Diffusion MRI	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages
	Keywords
	Abstract	Deep understanding of myocardial structure of the heart would unravel crucial knowledge for clinical and medical procedures. Although the muscular architecture of the heart has been debated by countless researchers, the controversy is still alive. Diﬀusion Tensor MRI, DT-MRI, is a unique imaging technique for computational validation of the muscular structure of the heart. By the complex arrangement of myocites, existing techniques can not provide comprehensive descriptions of the global muscular architecture. In this paper we introduce a multiresolution reconstruction technique based on DT-MRI streamlining for simpliﬁed global myocardial model generation. Our reconstructions can restore the most complex myocardial structures and indicate a global helical organization

	Title	Facial Features Segmentation by Model-Based Snakes			Type	Conference Article
	Year	1995	Publication	International Conference on Computing Analysis and Image Processing	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages
	Keywords
	Abstract	Deformable models have recently been accepted as a standard technique to segment different features in facial images. Despite they give a good approximation of the salient features in a facial image, the resulting shapes of the segmentation process seem somewhat artificial with respect to the natural feature shapes. In this paper we show that active contour models (in particular, rubber snakes) give more close and natural representation of the detected feature shape. Besides, using snakes for facial segmentation frees us from the problem of determination of the numerous weigths of deformable models. Another advantage of rubber snakes is their reduced computational cost. Our experiments using rubber snakes for segmentation of facial snapshots have shown a significant improvement compared to deformable models.

	Title	Deformable B-Solids and Implicit Snakes for Localization and Tracking of SPAMM MRI-Data			Type	Conference Article
	Year	1996	Publication	Workshop on Mathematical Methods in Biomedical Image Analysis	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages	192-201
	Keywords
	Abstract	To date, MRI-SPAMM data from different image slices have been analyzed independently. In this paper, we propose an approach for 3D tag localization and tracking of SPAMM data by a novel deformable B-solid. The solid is defined in terms of a 3D tensor product B-spline. The isoparametric curves of the B-spline solid have special importance. These are termed implicit snakes as they deform under image forces from tag lines in different image slices. The localization and tracking of tag lines is performed under constraints of continuity and smoothness of the B-solid. The framework unifies the problems of localization, and displacement fitting and interpolation into the same procedure utilizing B-spline bases for interpolation. To track motion from boundaries and restrict image forces to the myocardium, a volumetric model is employed as a pair of coupled endocardial and epicardial B-spline surfaces. To recover deformations in the LV an energy-minimization problem is posed where both tag and ...

	Title	Automatic Key Frames Detection in Intravascular Ultrasound Sequences			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2011	Publication	In MICCAI 2011 Workshop on Computing and Visualization for Intra Vascular Imaging	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages
	Keywords
	Abstract	We present a method for the automatic detection of key frames in Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) sequences. The key frames are markers delimiting morphological changes along the vessel. The aim of defining key frames is two-fold: (1) they allow to summarize the content of the pullback into few representative frames; (2) they represent the basis for the automatic detection of clinical events in IVUS. The proposed approach achieved a compression ratio of 0.016 with respect to the original sequence and an average inter-frame distance of 61.76 frame, minimizing the number of missed clinical events.

	Title	Automatic Segmentation of Artery Wall in Coronary IVUS Images: A Probabilistic Approach			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2000	Publication	International Conference on Pattern Recognition	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume	4	Issue		Pages	352-355
	Keywords
	Abstract	Intravascular ultrasound images represent a unique tool to analyze the morphology of arteries and vessels (plaques, restenosis, etc). The poor quality of these images makes unsupervised segmentation based on traditional segmentation algorithms (such as edge or ridge/valley detection) fail to achieve the expected results. In this paper we present a probabilistic flexible template to separate different regions in the image. In particular, we use elliptic templates to model and detect the shape of the vessel inner wall in IVUS images. We present the results of successful segmentation obtained from patients undergoing stent treatment. A physician team has validated these results.

	Title	Curvature Vector Flow to Assure Convergent Deformable Models for Shape Modelling			Type	Book Chapter
	Year	2003	Publication	Energy Minimization Methods In Computer Vision And Pattern Recognition	Abbreviated Journal	LNCS
	Volume	2683	Issue		Pages	357-372
	Keywords	Initial condition; Convex shape; Non convex analysis; Increase; Segmentation; Gradient; Standard; Standards; Concave shape; Flow models; Tracking; Edge detection; Curvature
	Abstract	Poor convergence to concave shapes is a main limitation of snakes as a standard segmentation and shape modelling technique. The gradient of the external energy of the snake represents a force that pushes the snake into concave regions, as its internal energy increases when new inexion points are created. In spite of the improvement of the external energy by the gradient vector ow technique, highly non convex shapes can not be obtained, yet. In the present paper, we develop a new external energy based on the geometry of the curve to be modelled. By tracking back the deformation of a curve that evolves by minimum curvature ow, we construct a distance map that encapsulates the natural way of adapting to non convex shapes. The gradient of this map, which we call curvature vector ow (CVF), is capable of attracting a snake towards any contour, whatever its geometry. Our experiments show that, any initial snake condition converges to the curve to be modelled in optimal time.

	Title	XBadges. Identifying and training soft skills with commercial video games Improving persistence, risk taking & spatial reasoning with commercial video games and facial and emotional recognition system			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2017	Publication	4th Congreso de la Sociedad Española para las Ciencias del Videojuego	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume	1957	Issue		Pages	13-28
	Keywords	Video Games; Soft Skills; Training; Skilling Development; Emotions; Cognitive Abilities; Flappy Bird; Pacman; Tetris
	Abstract	XBadges is a research project based on the hypothesis that commercial video games (nonserious games) can train soft skills. We measure persistence, patial reasoning and risk taking before and after subjects paticipate in controlled game playing sessions. In addition, we have developed an automatic facial expression recognition system capable of inferring their emotions while playing, allowing us to study the role of emotions in soft skills acquisition. We have used Flappy Bird, Pacman and Tetris for assessing changes in persistence, risk taking and spatial reasoning respectively. Results show how playing Tetris significantly improves spatial reasoning and how playing Pacman significantly improves prudence in certain areas of behavior. As for emotions, they reveal that being concentrated helps to improve performance and skills acquisition. Frustration is also shown as a key element. With the results obtained we are able to glimpse multiple applications in areas which need soft skills development.

	Title	An inference model for analyzing termination conditions of Evolutionary Algorithms			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2011	Publication	14th Congrès Català en Intel·ligencia Artificial	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages	216-225
	Keywords	Evolutionary Computation Convergence, Termination Conditions, Statistical Inference
	Abstract	In real-world problems, it is mandatory to design a termination condition for Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) ensuring stabilization close to the unknown optimum. Distribution-based quantities are good candidates as far as suitable parameters are used. A main limitation for application to real-world problems is that such parameters strongly depend on the topology of the objective function, as well as, the EA paradigm used. We claim that the termination problem would be fully solved if we had a model measuring to what extent a distribution-based quantity asymptotically behaves like the solution accuracy. We present a regression-prediction model that relates any two given quantities and reports if they can be statistically swapped as termination conditions. Our framework is applied to two issues. First, exploring if the parameters involved in the computation of distribution-based quantities influence their asymptotic behavior. Second, to what extent existing distribution-based quantities can be asymptotically exchanged for the accuracy of the EA solution.

	Title	Depth of Valleys Accumulation Algorithm for Object Detection			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2011	Publication	14th Congrès Català en Intel·ligencia Artificial	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume	1	Issue	1	Pages	71-80
	Keywords	Object Recognition, Object Region Identification, Image Analysis, Image Processing
	Abstract	This work aims at detecting in which regions the objects in the image are by using information about the intensity of valleys, which appear to surround ob- jects in images where the source of light is in the line of direction than the camera. We present our depth of valleys accumulation method, which consists of two stages: first, the definition of the depth of valleys image which combines the output of a ridges and valleys detector with the morphological gradient to measure how deep is a point inside a valley and second, an algorithm that denotes points of the image as interior to objects those which are inside complete or incomplete boundaries in the depth of valleys image. To evaluate the performance of our method we have tested it on several application domains. Our results on object region identification are promising, specially in the field of polyp detection in colonoscopy videos, and we also show its applicability in different areas.

	Title	Batch-based activity recognition from egocentric photo-streams			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2017	Publication	1st International workshop on Egocentric Perception, Interaction and Computing	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages
	Keywords
	Abstract	Activity recognition from long unstructured egocentric photo-streams has several applications in assistive technology such as health monitoring and frailty detection, just to name a few. However, one of its main technical challenges is to deal with the low frame rate of wearable photo-cameras, which causes abrupt appearance changes between consecutive frames. In consequence, important discriminatory low-level features from motion such as optical flow cannot be estimated. In this paper, we present a batch-driven approach for training a deep learning architecture that strongly rely on Long short-term units to tackle this problem. We propose two different implementations of the same approach that process a photo-stream sequence using batches of fixed size with the goal of capturing the temporal evolution of high-level features. The main difference between these implementations is that one explicitly models consecutive batches by overlapping them. Experimental results over a public dataset acquired by three users demonstrate the validity of the proposed architectures to exploit the temporal evolution of convolutional features over time without relying on event boundaries.
