Title Evolutionary Bags of Space-Time Features for Human Analysis Type Book Whole
Year 2016 Publication PhD Thesis Universitat de Barcelona, UOC and CVC Abbreviated Journal
Volume (down) Issue Pages

Abstract The representation (or feature) learning has been an emerging concept in the last years, since it collects a set of techniques that are present in any theoretical or practical methodology referring to artificial intelligence. In computer vision, a very common representation has adopted the form of the well-known Bag of Visual Words. This representation appears implicitly in most approaches where images are described, and is also present in a huge number of areas and domains: image content retrieval, pedestrian detection, human-computer interaction, surveillance, e-health, and social computing, amongst others. The early stages of this dissertation provide an approach for learning visual representations inside evolutionary algorithms, which consists of evolving weighting schemes to improve the BoVW representations for the task of recognizing categories of videos and images. Thus, we demonstrate the applicability of the most common weighting schemes, which are often used in text mining but are less frequently found in computer vision tasks. Beyond learning these visual representations, we provide an approach based on fusion strategies for learning spatiotemporal representations, from multimodal data obtained by depth sensors. Besides, we specially aim at the evolutionary and dynamic modelling, where the temporal factor is present in the nature of the data, such as video sequences of gestures and actions. Indeed, we explore the effects of probabilistic modelling for those approaches based on dynamic programming, so as to handle the temporal deformation and variance amongst video sequences of different categories. Finally, we integrate dynamic programming and generative models into an evolutionary computation framework, with the aim of learning Bags of SubGestures (BoSG) representations and hence to improve the generalization capability of standard gesture recognition approaches. The results obtained in the experimentation demonstrate, first, that evolutionary algorithms are useful for improving the representation of BoVW approaches in several datasets for recognizing categories in still images and video sequences. On the other hand, our experimentation reveals that both, the use of dynamic programming and generative models to align video sequences, and the representations obtained from applying fusion strategies in multimodal data, entail an enhancement on the performance when recognizing some gesture categories. Furthermore, the combination of evolutionary algorithms with models based on dynamic programming and generative approaches results, when aiming at the classification of video categories on large video datasets, in a considerable improvement over standard gesture and action recognition approaches. Finally, we demonstrate the applications of these representations in several domains for human analysis: classification of images where humans may be present, action and gesture recognition for general applications, and in particular for conversational settings within the field of restorative justice

Title Learning cross-spectral similarity measures with deep convolutional neural networks Type Conference Article
Year 2016 Publication 29th IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Worshops Abbreviated Journal
Volume (down) Issue Pages
Keywords
Abstract The simultaneous use of images from different spectracan be helpful to improve the performance of many computer vision tasks. The core idea behind the usage of crossspectral approaches is to take advantage of the strengths of each spectral band providing a richer representation of a scene, which cannot be obtained with just images from one spectral band. In this work we tackle the cross-spectral image similarity problem by using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). We explore three different CNN architectures to compare the similarity of cross-spectral image patches. Specifically, we train each network with images from the visible and the near-infrared spectrum, and then test the result with two public cross-spectral datasets. Experimental results show that CNN approaches outperform the current state-of-art on both cross-spectral datasets. Additionally, our experiments show that some CNN architectures are capable of generalizing between different crossspectral domains.

Title ChaLearn LAP 2016: First Round Challenge on First Impressions – Dataset and Results Type Conference Article
Year 2016 Publication 14th European Conference on Computer Vision Workshops Abbreviated Journal
Volume (down) Issue Pages
Keywords Behavior Analysis; Personality Traits; First Impressions
Abstract This paper summarizes the ChaLearn Looking at People 2016 First Impressions challenge data and results obtained by the teams in the rst round of the competition. The goal of the competition was to automatically evaluate ve \apparent“ personality traits (the so-called \Big Five”) from videos of subjects speaking in front of a camera, by using human judgment. In this edition of the ChaLearn challenge, a novel data set consisting of 10,000 shorts clips from YouTube videos has been made publicly available. The ground truth for personality traits was obtained from workers of Amazon Mechanical Turk (AMT). To alleviate calibration problems between workers, we used pairwise comparisons between videos, and variable levels were reconstructed by tting a Bradley-Terry-Luce model with maximum likelihood. The CodaLab open source
platform was used for submission of predictions and scoring. The competition attracted, over a period of 2 months, 84 participants who are grouped in several teams. Nine teams entered the nal phase. Despite the diculty of the task, the teams made great advances in this round of the challenge.

Title Automated Identification and Tracking of Nephrops norvegicus (L.) Using Infrared and Monochromatic Blue Light Type Conference Article
Year 2016 Publication 19th International Conference of the Catalan Association for Artificial Intelligence Abbreviated Journal
Volume (down) Issue Pages
Keywords computer vision; video analysis; object recognition; tracking; behaviour; social; decapod; Nephrops norvegicus
Abstract Automated video and image analysis can be a very efficient tool to analyze
animal behavior based on sociality, especially in hard access environments
for researchers. The understanding of this social behavior can play a key role in the sustainable design of capture policies of many species. This paper proposes the use of computer vision algorithms to identify and track a specific specie, the Norway lobster, Nephrops norvegicus, a burrowing decapod with relevant commercial value which is captured by trawling. These animals can only be captured when are engaged in seabed excursions, which are strongly related with their social behavior.
This emergent behavior is modulated by the day-night cycle, but their social
interactions remain unknown to the scientific community. The paper introduces an identification scheme made of four distinguishable black and white tags (geometric shapes). The project has recorded 15-day experiments in laboratory pools, under monochromatic blue light (472 nm.) and darkness conditions (recorded using Infra Red light). Using this massive image set, we propose a comparative of state-ofthe-art computer vision algorithms to distinguish and track the different animals’ movements. We evaluate the robustness to the high noise presence in the infrared video signals and free out-of-plane rotations due to animal movement. The experiments show promising accuracies under a cross-validation protocol, being adaptable to the automation and analysis of large scale data. In a second contribution, we created an extensive dataset of shapes (46027 different shapes) from four daily experimental video recordings, which will be available to the community.

Title Using ORB, BoW and SVM to identificate and track tagged Norway lobster Nephrops Norvegicus (L.) Type Conference Article
Year 2016 Publication 3rd International Conference on Maritime Technology and Engineering Abbreviated Journal
Volume (down) Issue Pages
Keywords
Abstract Sustainable capture policies of many species strongly depend on the understanding of their social behaviour. Nevertheless, the analysis of emergent behaviour in marine species poses several challenges. Usually animals are captured and observed in tanks, and their behaviour is inferred from their dynamics and interactions. Therefore, researchers must deal with thousands of hours of video data. Without loss of generality, this paper proposes a computer
vision approach to identify and track specific species, the Norway lobster, Nephrops norvegicus. We propose an identification scheme were animals are marked using black and white tags with a geometric shape in the center (holed
triangle, filled triangle, holed circle and filled circle). Using a massive labelled dataset; we extract local features based on the ORB descriptor. These features are a posteriori clustered, and we construct a Bag of Visual Words feature vector per animal. This approximation yields us invariance to rotation
and translation. A SVM classifier achieves generalization results above 99%. In a second contribution, we will make the code and training data publically available.

Title Learning local feature descriptors with triplets and shallow convolutional neural networks Type Conference Article
Year 2016 Publication 27th British Machine Vision Conference Abbreviated Journal
Volume (down) Issue Pages
Keywords
Abstract It has recently been demonstrated that local feature descriptors based on convolutional neural networks (CNN) can significantly improve the matching performance. Previous work on learning such descriptors has focused on exploiting pairs of positive and negative patches to learn discriminative CNN representations. In this work, we propose to utilize triplets of training samples, together with in-triplet mining of hard negatives.
We show that our method achieves state of the art results, without the computational overhead typically associated with mining of negatives and with lower complexity of the network architecture. We compare our approach to recently introduced convolutional local feature descriptors, and demonstrate the advantages of the proposed methods in terms of performance and speed. We also examine different loss functions associated with triplets.

Title Learning the Lumen Border using a Convolutional Neural Networks classifier Type Conference Article
Year 2016 Publication 19th International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention Workshop Abbreviated Journal
Volume (down) Issue Pages
Keywords
Abstract IntraVascular UltraSound (IVUS) is a technique allowing the diagnosis of coronary plaque. An accurate (semi-)automatic assessment of the luminal contours could speed up the diagnosis. In most of the approaches, the information on the vessel shape is obtained combining a supervised learning step with a local refinement algorithm. In this paper, we explore for the first time, the use of a Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) architecture that on one hand is able to extract the optimal image features and at the same time can serve as a supervised classifier to detect the lumen border in IVUS images. The main limitation of CNN, relies on the fact that this technique requires a large amount of training data due to the huge amount of parameters that it has. To
solve this issue, we introduce a patch classification approach to generate an extended training-set from a few annotated images. An accuracy of 93% and F-score of 71% was obtained with this technique, even when it was applied to challenging frames containig calcified plaques, stents and catheter shadows.

Title Improving Text Proposals for Scene Images with Fully Convolutional Networks Type Conference Article

Volume (down) Issue Pages
Keywords
Abstract Text Proposals have emerged as a class-dependent version of object proposals – efficient approaches to reduce the search space of possible text object locations in an image. Combined with strong word classifiers, text proposals currently yield top state of the art results in end-to-end scene text
recognition. In this paper we propose an improvement over the original Text Proposals algorithm of [1], combining it with Fully Convolutional Networks to improve the ranking of proposals. Results on the ICDAR RRC and the COCO-text datasets show superior performance over current state-of-the-art.

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 (down) 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 ChaLearn Joint Contest on Multimedia Challenges Beyond Visual Analysis: An Overview Type Conference Article
Year 2016 Publication 23rd International Conference on Pattern Recognition Abbreviated Journal
Volume (down) Issue Pages
Keywords
Abstract This paper provides an overview of the Joint Contest on Multimedia Challenges Beyond Visual Analysis. We organized an academic competition that focused on four problems that require effective processing of multimodal information in order to be solved. Two tracks were devoted to gesture spotting and recognition from RGB-D video, two fundamental problems for human computer interaction. Another track was devoted to a second round of the first impressions challenge of which the goal was to develop methods to recognize personality traits from
short video clips. For this second round we adopted a novel collaborative-competitive (i.e., coopetition) setting. The fourth track was dedicated to the problem of video recommendation for improving user experience. The challenge was open for about 45 days, and received outstanding participation: almost
200 participants registered to the contest, and 20 teams sent predictions in the final stage. The main goals of the challenge were fulfilled: the state of the art was advanced considerably in the four tracks, with novel solutions to the proposed problems (mostly relying on deep learning). However, further research is still required. The data of the four tracks will be available to
allow researchers to keep making progress in the four tracks.
