  Title Symbol Recognition Using a Concept Lattice of Graphical Patterns Type Conference Article
  Year 2009 Publication 8th IAPR International Workshop on Graphics Recognition Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume (down) Issue Pages  
  Keywords  
  Abstract In this paper we propose a new approach to recognize symbols by the use of a concept lattice. We propose to build a concept lattice in terms of graphical patterns. Each model symbol is decomposed in a set of composing graphical patterns taken as primitives. Each one of these primitives is described by boundary moment invariants. The obtained concept lattice relates which symbolic patterns compose a given graphical symbol. A Hasse diagram is derived from the context and is used to recognize symbols affected by noise. We present some preliminary results over a variation of the dataset of symbols from the GREC 2005 symbol recognition contest.

  Title Touching Text Character Localization in Graphical Documents using SIFT Type Conference Article
  Year 2009 Publication In proceedings 8th IAPR International Workshop on Graphics Recognition Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume (down) Issue Pages  
  Keywords  
  Abstract Interpretation of graphical document images is a challenging task as it requires proper understanding of text/graphics symbols present in such documents. Difficulties arise in graphical document recognition when text and symbol overlapped/touched. Intersection of text and symbols with graphical lines and curves occur frequently in graphical documents and hence separation of such symbols is very difficult.
Several pattern recognition and classification techniques exist to recognize isolated text/symbol. But, the touching/overlapping text and symbol recognition has not yet been dealt successfully. An interesting technique, Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT), originally devised for object recognition can take care of overlapping problems. Even if SIFT features have emerged as a very powerful object descriptors, their employment in graphical documents context has not been investigated much. In this paper we present the adaptation of the SIFT approach in the context of text character localization (spotting) in graphical documents. We evaluate the applicability of this technique in such documents and discuss the scope of improvement by combining some state-of-the-art approaches.

  Title Real-time gating of IVUS sequences based on motion blur analysis: Method and quantitative validation Type Conference Article
  Year 2010 Publication 13th international conference on Medical image computing and computer-assisted intervention Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume (down) II Issue Pages 59-67  
  Keywords  
  Abstract Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) is an image-guiding technique for cardiovascular diagnostic, providing cross-sectional images of vessels. During the acquisition, the catheter is pulled back (pullback) at a constant speed in order to acquire spatially subsequent images of the artery. However, during this procedure, the heart twist produces a swinging fluctuation of the probe position along the vessel axis. In this paper we propose a real-time gating algorithm based on the analysis of motion blur variations during the IVUS sequence. Quantitative tests performed on an in-vitro ground truth data base shown that our method is superior to state of the art algorithms both in computational speed and accuracy.

  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 (down) 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 (down) 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 (down) 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 Robust Real-Time Background Subtraction Based on Local Neighborhood Patterns Type Journal Article
  Year 2010 Publication EURASIP Journal on Advances in Signal Processing Abbreviated Journal EURASIPJ  
  Volume (down) Issue Pages 7  
  Keywords  
  Abstract Article ID 901205
This paper describes an efficient background subtraction technique for detecting moving objects. The proposed approach is able to overcome difficulties like illumination changes and moving shadows. Our method introduces two discriminative features based on angular and modular patterns, which are formed by similarity measurement between two sets of RGB color vectors: one belonging to the background image and the other to the current image. We show how these patterns are used to improve foreground detection in the presence of moving shadows and in the case when there are strong similarities in color between background and foreground pixels. Experimental results over a collection of public and own datasets of real image sequences demonstrate that the proposed technique achieves a superior performance compared with state-of-the-art methods. Furthermore, both the low computational and space complexities make the presented algorithm feasible for real-time applications.

  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 (down) 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.
