  Title Reading Text in the Wild from Compressed Images Type Conference Article
  Year 2017 Publication 1st International workshop on Egocentric Perception, Interaction and Computing Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords  
  Abstract Reading text in the wild is gaining attention in the computer vision community. Images captured in the wild are almost always compressed to varying degrees, depending on application context, and this compression introduces artifacts
that distort image content into the captured images. In this paper we investigate the impact these compression artifacts have on text localization and recognition in the wild. We also propose a deep Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) that can eliminate text-specific compression artifacts and which leads to an improvement in text recognition. Experimental results on the ICDAR-Challenge4 dataset demonstrate that compression artifacts have a significant
impact on text localization and recognition and that our approach yields an improvement in both – especially at high compression rates.

  Title Domain-adaptive deep network compression Type Conference Article
  Year 2017 Publication 17th IEEE International Conference on Computer Vision Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords  
  Abstract Deep Neural Networks trained on large datasets can be easily transferred to new domains with far fewer labeled examples by a process called fine-tuning. This has the advantage that representations learned in the large source domain can be exploited on smaller target domains. However, networks designed to be optimal for the source task are often prohibitively large for the target task. In this work we address the compression of networks after domain transfer.
We focus on compression algorithms based on low-rank matrix decomposition. Existing methods base compression solely on learned network weights and ignore the statistics of network activations. We show that domain transfer leads to large shifts in network activations and that it is desirable to take this into account when compressing.
We demonstrate that considering activation statistics when compressing weights leads to a rank-constrained regression problem with a closed-form solution. Because our method takes into account the target domain, it can more optimally
remove the redundancy in the weights. Experiments show that our Domain Adaptive Low Rank (DALR) method significantly outperforms existing low-rank compression techniques. With our approach, the fc6 layer of VGG19 can be compressed more than 4x more than using truncated SVD alone – with only a minor or no loss in accuracy. When applied to domain-transferred networks it allows for compression down to only 5-20% of the original number of parameters with only a minor drop in performance.

  Title RankIQA: Learning from Rankings for No-reference Image Quality Assessment Type Conference Article
  Year 2017 Publication 17th IEEE International Conference on Computer Vision Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords  
  Abstract We propose a no-reference image quality assessment (NR-IQA) approach that learns from rankings (RankIQA). To address the problem of limited IQA dataset size, we train a Siamese Network to rank images in terms of image quality by using synthetically generated distortions for which relative image quality is known. These ranked image sets can be automatically generated without laborious human labeling. We then use fine-tuning to transfer the knowledge represented in the trained Siamese Network to a traditional CNN that estimates absolute image quality from single images. We demonstrate how our approach can be made significantly more efficient than traditional Siamese Networks by forward propagating a batch of images through a single network and backpropagating gradients derived from all pairs of images in the batch. Experiments on the TID2013 benchmark show that we improve the state-of-the-art by over 5%. Furthermore, on the LIVE benchmark we show that our approach is superior to existing NR-IQA techniques and that we even outperform the state-of-the-art in full-reference IQA (FR-IQA) methods without having to resort to high-quality reference images to infer IQA.

  Title Image vignetting reduction via a maximization of fuzzy entropy Type Conference Article
  Year 2017 Publication IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords  
  Abstract In many computer vision applications, vignetting is an undesirable effect which must be removed in a pre-processing step. Recently, an algorithm for image vignetting correction has been presented by means of a minimization of log-intensity entropy. This method relies on an increase of the entropy of the image when it is affected with vignetting. In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm to reduce image vignetting via a maximization of the fuzzy entropy of the image. Fuzzy entropy quantifies the fuzziness degree of a fuzzy set and its value is also modified by the presence of vignetting. The experimental results show that this novel algorithm outperforms in most cases the algorithm based on the minimization of log-intensity entropy both from the qualitative and the quantitative point of view.

  Title Occlusion Aware Hand Pose Recovery from Sequences of Depth Images Type Conference Article
  Year 2017 Publication 12th IEEE International Conference on Automatic Face and Gesture Recognition Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords  
  Abstract State-of-the-art approaches on hand pose estimation from depth images have reported promising results under quite controlled considerations. In this paper we propose a two-step pipeline for recovering the hand pose from a sequence of depth images. The pipeline has been designed to deal with images taken from any viewpoint and exhibiting a high degree of finger occlusion. In a first step we initialize the hand pose using a part-based model, fitting a set of hand components in the depth images. In a second step we consider temporal data and estimate the parameters of a trained bilinear model consisting of shape and trajectory bases. Results on a synthetic, highly-occluded dataset demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms most recent pose recovering approaches, including those based on CNNs.

  Title Apparent and real age estimation in still images with deep residual regressors on APPA-REAL database Type Conference Article
  Year 2017 Publication 12th IEEE International Conference on Automatic Face and Gesture Recognition Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords  
  Abstract After decades of research, the real (biological) age estimation from a single face image reached maturity thanks to the availability of large public face databases and impressive accuracies achieved by recently proposed methods.
The estimation of “apparent age” is a related task concerning the age perceived by human observers. Significant advances have been also made in this new research direction with the recent Looking At People challenges. In this paper we make several contributions to age estimation research. (i) We introduce APPA-REAL, a large face image database with both real and apparent age annotations. (ii) We study the relationship between real and apparent age. (iii) We develop a residual age regression method to further improve the performance. (iv) We show that real age estimation can be successfully tackled as an apparent age estimation followed by an apparent to real age residual regression. (v) We graphically reveal the facial regions on which the CNN focuses in order to perform apparent and real age estimation tasks.

  Title Exploiting feature representations through similarity learning and ranking aggregation for person re-identification Type Conference Article
  Year 2017 Publication 12th IEEE International Conference on Automatic Face and Gesture Recognition Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords  
  Abstract Person re-identification has received special attentionby the human analysis community in the last few years.To address the challenges in this field, many researchers haveproposed different strategies, which basically exploit eithercross-view invariant features or cross-view robust metrics. Inthis work we propose to combine different feature representationsthrough ranking aggregation. Spatial information, whichpotentially benefits the person matching, is represented usinga 2D body model, from which color and texture informationare extracted and combined. We also consider contextualinformation (background and foreground data), automaticallyextracted via Deep Decompositional Network, and the usage ofConvolutional Neural Network (CNN) features. To describe thematching between images we use the polynomial feature map,also taking into account local and global information. Finally,the Stuart ranking aggregation method is employed to combinecomplementary ranking lists obtained from different featurerepresentations. Experimental results demonstrated that weimprove the state-of-the-art on VIPeR and PRID450s datasets,achieving 58.77% and 71.56% on top-1 rank recognitionrate, respectively, as well as obtaining competitive results onCUHK01 dataset.

  Title Dominant and Complementary Multi-Emotional Facial Expression Recognition Using C-Support Vector Classification Type Conference Article
  Year 2017 Publication 12th IEEE International Conference on Automatic Face and Gesture Recognition Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords  
  Abstract We are proposing a new facial expression recognition model which introduces 30+ detailed facial expressions recognisable by any artificial intelligence interacting with a human. Throughout this research, we introduce two categories for the emotions, namely, dominant emotions and complementary emotions. In this research paper the complementary emotion is recognised by using the eye region if the dominant emotion is angry, fearful or sad, and if the dominant emotion is disgust or happiness the complementary emotion is mainly conveyed by the mouth. In order to verify the tagged dominant and complementary emotions, randomly chosen people voted for the recognised multi-emotional facial expressions. The average results of voting are showing that 73.88% of the voters agree on the correctness of the recognised multi-emotional facial expressions.

  Title Joint Challenge on Dominant and Complementary Emotion Recognition Using Micro Emotion Features and Head-Pose Estimation: Databases Type Conference Article
  Year 2017 Publication 12th IEEE International Conference on Automatic Face and Gesture Recognition Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords  
  Abstract In this work two databases for the Joint Challenge on Dominant and Complementary Emotion Recognition Using Micro Emotion Features and Head-Pose Estimation1 are introduced. Head pose estimation paired with and detailed emotion recognition have become very important in relation to human-computer interaction. The 3D head pose database, SASE, is a 3D database acquired with Microsoft Kinect 2 camera, including RGB and depth information of different head poses which is composed by a total of 30000 frames with annotated markers, including 32 male and 18 female subjects. For the dominant and complementary emotion database, iCVMEFED, includes 31250 images with different emotions of 115 subjects whose gender distribution is almost uniform. For each subject there are 5 samples. The emotions are composed by 7 basic emotions plus neutral, being defined as complementary and dominant pairs. The emotion associated to the images were labeled with the support of psychologists.

  Title Cross-Spectral Image Patch Similarity using Convolutional Neural Network Type Conference Article
  Year 2017 Publication IEEE International Workshop of Electronics, Control, Measurement, Signals and their application to Mechatronics Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords  
  Abstract The ability to compare image regions (patches) has been the basis of many approaches to core computer vision problems, including object, texture and scene categorization. Hence, developing representations for image patches have been of interest in several works. The current work focuses on learning similarity between cross-spectral image patches with a 2 channel convolutional neural network (CNN) model. The proposed approach is an adaptation of a previous work, trying to obtain similar results than the state of the art but with a lowcost hardware. Hence, obtained results are compared with both
classical approaches, showing improvements, and a state of the art CNN based approach.

  Title A 3D Vision Based Approach for Optimal Grasp of Vacuum Grippers Type Conference Article
  Year 2017 Publication IEEE International Workshop of Electronics, Control, Measurement, Signals and their application to Mechatronics Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords  
  Abstract In general, robot grasping approaches are based on the usage of multi-finger grippers. However, when large size objects need to be manipulated vacuum grippers are preferred, instead of finger based grippers. This paper aims to estimate the best picking place for a two suction cups vacuum gripper,
when planar objects with an unknown size and geometry are considered. The approach is based on the estimation of geometric properties of object’s shape from a partial cloud of points (a single 3D view), in such a way that combine with considerations of a theoretical model to generate an optimal contact point
that minimizes the vacuum force needed to guarantee a grasp.
Experimental results in real scenarios are presented to show the validity of the proposed approach.

  Title Infrared Image Colorization based on a Triplet DCGAN Architecture Type Conference Article
  Year 2017 Publication IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Workshops Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords  
  Abstract This paper proposes a novel approach for colorizing near infrared (NIR) images using Deep Convolutional Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) architectures. The proposed approach is based on the usage of a triplet model for learning each color channel independently, in a more homogeneous way. It allows a fast convergence during the training, obtaining a greater similarity between the given NIR image and the corresponding ground truth. The proposed approach has been evaluated with a large data set of NIR images and compared with a recent approach, which is also based on a GAN architecture but in this case all the
color channels are obtained at the same time.

  Title Procedural Generation of Videos to Train Deep Action Recognition Networks Type Conference Article
  Year 2017 Publication 30th IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages 2594-2604  
  Keywords  
  Abstract Deep learning for human action recognition in videos is making significant progress, but is slowed down by its dependency on expensive manual labeling of large video collections. In this work, we investigate the generation of synthetic training data for action recognition, as it has recently shown promising results for a variety of other computer vision tasks. We propose an interpretable parametric generative model of human action videos that relies on procedural generation and other computer graphics techniques of modern game engines. We generate a diverse, realistic, and physically plausible dataset of human action videos, called PHAV for ”Procedural Human Action Videos”. It contains a total of 39, 982 videos, with more than 1, 000 examples for each action of 35 categories. Our approach is not limited to existing motion capture sequences, and we procedurally define 14 synthetic actions. We introduce a deep multi-task representation learning architecture to mix synthetic and real videos, even if the action categories differ. Our experiments on the UCF101 and HMDB51 benchmarks suggest that combining our large set of synthetic videos with small real-world datasets can boost recognition performance, significantly
outperforming fine-tuning state-of-the-art unsupervised generative models of videos.

  Abstract Floods are major natural disasters which cause deaths and material damages every year. Monitoring these events is crucial in order to reduce both the affected people and the economic losses. In this work we train and test three different Deep Learning segmentation algorithms to estimate the water area from river images, and compare their performances. We discuss the implementation of a novel data chain aimed to monitor river water levels by automatically process data collected from surveillance cameras, and to give alerts in case of high increases of the water level or flooding. We also create and openly publish the first image dataset for river water segmentation.
