  Title Articulated Particle Filter for Hand Tracking Type Conference Article
  Year 2012 Publication 21st International Conference on Pattern Recognition Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages 3581 - 3585  
  Keywords  
  Abstract (down) This paper proposes a new version of Particle Filter, called Articulated Particle Filter – ArPF -, which has been specifically designed for an efficient sampling of hierarchical spaces, generated by articulated objects. Our approach decomposes the articulated motion into layers for efficiency purposes, making use of a careful modeling of the diffusion noise along with its propagation through the articulations. This produces an increase of accuracy and prevent for divergences. The algorithm is tested on hand tracking due to its complex hierarchical articulated nature. With this purpose, a new dataset generation tool for quantitative evaluation is also presented in this paper.

  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 (down) 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 Multimodal Template Matching based on Gradient and Mutual Information using Scale-Space Type Conference Article
  Year 2010 Publication 17th IEEE International Conference on Image Processing Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages 2749–2752  
  Keywords  
  Abstract (down) This paper presents the combined use of gradient and mutual information for infrared and intensity templates matching. We propose to joint: (i) feature matching in a multiresolution context and (ii) information propagation through scale-space representations. Our method consists in combining mutual information with a shape descriptor based on gradient, and propagate them following a coarse-to-fine strategy. The main contributions of this work are: to offer a theoretical formulation towards a multimodal stereo matching; to show that gradient and mutual information can be reinforced while they are propagated between consecutive levels; and to show that they are valid cost functions in multimodal template matchings. Comparisons are presented showing the improvements and viability of the proposed approach.

  Year 2014 Publication 9th International Conference on Computer Vision Theory and Applications Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 3 Issue Pages 211-215  
  Keywords Crowdsourcing Platform; Mobile Crowdsourcing  
  Abstract (down) This paper presents details of a general purpose micro-task on-demand platform based on the crowdsourcing philosophy. This platform was specifically developed for mobile devices in order to exploit the strengths of such devices; namely: i) massivity, ii) ubiquity and iii) embedded sensors. The combined use of mobile platforms and the crowdsourcing model allows to tackle from the simplest to the most complex tasks. Users experience is the highlighted feature of this platform (this fact is extended to both task-proposer and tasksolver). Proper tools according with a specific task are provided to a task-solver in order to perform his/her job in a simpler, faster and appealing way. Moreover, a task can be easily submitted by just selecting predefined templates, which cover a wide range of possible applications. Examples of its usage in computer vision and computer games are provided illustrating the potentiality of the platform.

  Title Evaluation of Similarity Functions in Multimodal Stereo Type Conference Article
  Year 2012 Publication 9th International Conference on Image Analysis and Recognition Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 7324 Issue I Pages 320-329  
  Keywords Aveiro, Portugal  
  Abstract (down) This paper presents an evaluation framework for multimodal stereo matching, which allows to compare the performance of four similarity functions. Additionally, it presents details of a multimodal stereo head that supply thermal infrared and color images, as well as, aspects of its calibration and rectification. The pipeline includes a novel method for the disparity selection, which is suitable for evaluating the similarity functions. Finally, a benchmark for comparing different initializations of the proposed framework is presented. Similarity functions are based on mutual information, gradient orientation and scale space representations. Their evaluation is performed using two metrics: i) disparity error, and ii) number of correct matches on planar regions. In addition to the proposed evaluation, the current paper also shows that 3D sparse representations can be recovered from such a multimodal stereo head.

  Title Efficient On-Board Stereo Vision Pose Estimation Type Conference Article
  Year 2007 Publication Computer Aided Systems Theory, Selected paper from Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 4739 Issue Pages 1183–1190  
  Keywords  
  Abstract (down) This paper presents an efficient technique for real time estimation of on-board stereo vision system pose. The whole process is performed in the Euclidean space and consists of two stages. Initially, a compact representation of the original 3D data points is computed. Then, a RANSAC based least squares approach is used for fitting a plane to the 3D road points. Fast RANSAC fitting is obtained by selecting points according to a probability distribution function that takes into account the density of points at a given depth. Finally, stereo camera position
and orientation—pose—is computed relative to the road plane. The proposed technique is intended to be used on driver assistance systems for applications such as obstacle or pedestrian detection. A real time performance is reached. Experimental results on several environments and comparisons with a previous work are presented.

  Title Revisiting Harris Corner Detector Algorithm: a Gradual Thresholding Approach Type Conference Article
  Year 2013 Publication 10th International Conference on Image Analysis and Recognition Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 7950 Issue Pages 354-363  
  Keywords  
  Abstract (down) This paper presents an adaptive thresholding approach intended to increase the number of detected corners, while reducing the amount of those ones corresponding to noisy data. The proposed approach works by using the classical Harris corner detector algorithm and overcome the difficulty in finding a general threshold that work well for all the images in a given data set by proposing a novel adaptive thresholding scheme. Initially, two thresholds are used to discern between strong corners and flat regions. Then, a region based criteria is used to discriminate between weak corners and noisy points in the midway interval. Experimental results show that the proposed approach has a better capability to reject false corners and, at the same time, to detect weak ones. Comparisons with the state of the art are provided showing the validity of the proposed approach.

  Title An Adapted Alternation Approach for Recommender Systems Type Conference Article
  Year 2008 Publication IEEE International Conference on e–Business Engineering, Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages 128–135  
  Keywords  
  Abstract (down) This paper presents an adaptation of the alternation technique to tackle the prediction task in recommender systems. These systems are widely considered in electronic commerce to help customers to find products they will probably like or dislike. As the SVD-based approaches, the proposed adapted alternation technique uses all the information stored in the system to find the predictions. The main advantage of this technique with respect to the SVD-based ones is that it can deal with missing data. Furthermore, it has a smaller computational cost. Experimental results with public data sets are provided in order to show the viability of the proposed adapted alternation approach.

  Title On-Board Monocular Vision System Pose Estimation through a Dense Optical Flow Type Conference Article
  Year 2010 Publication 7th International Conference on Image Analysis and Recognition Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 6111 Issue Pages 230-239  
  Keywords  
  Abstract (down) This paper presents a robust technique for estimating on-board monocular vision system pose. The proposed approach is based on a dense optical flow that is robust against shadows, reflections and illumination changes. A RANSAC based scheme is used to cope with the outliers in the optical flow. The proposed technique is intended to be used in driver assistance systems for applications such as obstacle or pedestrian detection. Experimental results on different scenarios, both from synthetic and real sequences, shows usefulness of the proposed approach.

  Title Real Time Vehicle Pose Using On-Board Stereo Vision System Type Conference Article
  Year 2006 Publication International Conference on Image Analysis and Recognition Abbreviated Journal ICIAR  
  Volume Issue LNCS 4142 Pages 205–216  
  Keywords  
  Abstract (down) This paper presents a robust technique for a real time estimation of both camera’s position and orientation—referred as pose. A commercial stereo vision system is used. Unlike previous approaches, it can be used either for urban or highway scenarios. The proposed technique consists of two stages. Initially, a compact 2D representation of the original 3D data points is computed. Then, a RANSAC based least squares approach is used for fitting a plane to the road. At the same time,
relative camera’s position and orientation are computed. The proposed technique is intended to be used on a driving assistance scheme for applications such as obstacle or pedestrian detection. Experimental results on urban environments with different road geometries are presented.
