Patricia Suarez, Angel Sappa and Boris X. Vintimilla. 2017. Learning to Colorize Infrared Images. 15th International Conference on Practical Applications of Agents and Multi-Agent System.
Abstract: This paper focuses on near infrared (NIR) image colorization by using a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) architecture model. The proposed architecture consists of two stages. Firstly, it learns to colorize the given input, resulting in a RGB image. Then, in the second stage, a discriminative model is used to estimate the probability that the generated image came from the training dataset, rather than the image automatically generated. The proposed model starts the learning process from scratch, because our set of images is very di erent from the dataset used in existing pre-trained models, so transfer learning strategies cannot be used. Infrared image colorization is an important problem when human perception need to be considered, e.g, in remote sensing applications. Experimental results with a large set of real images are provided showing the validity of the proposed approach.
Keywords: CNN in multispectral imaging; Image colorization

Abstract: Existing state of the art optical flow approaches, which are evaluated on standard datasets such as Middlebury, not necessarily have a similar performance when evaluated on driving scenarios. This drop on performance is due to several challenges arising on real scenarios during driving. Towards this direction, in this paper, we propose a modification to the regularization term in a variational optical flow formulation, that notably improves the results, specially in driving scenarios. The proposed modification consists on using the Laplacian derivatives of flow components in the regularization term instead of gradients of flow components. We show the improvements in results on a standard real image sequences dataset (KITTI).

Marcelo D. Pistarelli, Angel Sappa and Ricardo Toledo. 2013. Multispectral Stereo Image Correspondence. 15th International Conference on Computer Analysis of Images and Patterns. Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 217–224. (LNCS.)
Abstract: This paper presents a novel multispectral stereo image correspondence approach. It is evaluated using a stereo rig constructed with a visible spectrum camera and a long wave infrared spectrum camera. The novelty of the proposed approach lies on the usage of Hough space as a correspondence search domain. In this way it avoids searching for correspondence in the original multispectral image domains, where information is low correlated, and a common domain is used. The proposed approach is intended to be used in outdoor urban scenarios, where images contain large amount of edges. These edges are used as distinctive characteristics for the matching in the Hough space. Experimental results are provided showing the validity of the proposed approach.

Abstract: Pedestrian detection is one of the most challenging tasks in computer vision, and has received a lot of attention in the last years. Recently, some authors have shown the advantages of using combinations of part/patch-based detectors in order to cope with the large variability of poses and the existence of partial occlusions. In this paper, we propose a pedestrian detection method that efficiently combines multiple local experts by means of a Random Forest ensemble. The proposed method works with rich block-based representations such as HOG and LBP, in such a way that the same features are reused by the multiple local experts, so that no extra computational cost is needed with respect to a holistic method. Furthermore, we demonstrate how to integrate the proposed approach with a cascaded architecture in order to achieve not only high accuracy but also an acceptable efficiency. In particular, the resulting detector operates at five frames per second using a laptop machine. We tested the proposed method with well-known challenging datasets such as Caltech, ETH, Daimler, and INRIA. The method proposed in this work consistently ranks among the top performers in all the datasets, being either the best method or having a small difference with the best one.

Abstract: Most MAP inference algorithms for CRFs optimize an energy function knowing all the potentials. In this paper, we focus on CRFs where the computational cost of instantiating the potentials is orders of magnitude higher than MAP inference. This is often the case in semantic image segmentation, where most potentials are instantiated by slow classifiers fed with costly features. We introduce Active MAP inference 1) to on-the-fly select a subset of potentials to be instantiated in the energy function, leaving the rest of the parameters of the potentials unknown, and 2) to estimate the MAP labeling from such incomplete energy function. Results for semantic segmentation benchmarks, namely PASCAL VOC 2010 [5] and MSRC-21 [19], show that Active MAP inference achieves similar levels of accuracy but with major efficiency gains.

Abstract: Autonomous driving models should ideally be evaluated by deploying
them on a fleet of physical vehicles in the real world. Unfortunately, this approach is not practical for the vast majority of researchers. An attractive alternative is to evaluate models offline, on a pre-collected validation dataset with ground truth annotation. In this paper, we investigate the relation between various online and offline metrics for evaluation of autonomous driving models. We find that offline prediction error is not necessarily correlated with driving quality, and two models with identical prediction error can differ dramatically in their driving performance. We show that the correlation of offline evaluation with driving quality can be significantly improved by selecting an appropriate validation dataset and
suitable offline metrics.
Keywords: Autonomous driving; deep learning

Abstract: Retinal images are routinely used in ophthalmology to study the optical nerve head and the retina. To assess objectively the evolution of an illness, images taken at different times must be registered. Most methods so far have been designed specifically for a single image modality, like temporal series or stereo pairs of angiographies, fluorescein angiographies or scanning laser ophthalmoscope (SLO) images, which makes them prone to fail when conditions vary. In contrast, the method we propose has shown to be accurate and reliable on all the former modalities. It has been adapted from the 3D registration of CT and MR image to 2D. Relevant features (also known as landmarks) are extracted by means of a robust creaseness operator, and resulting images are iteratively transformed until a maximum in their correlation is achieved. Our method has succeeded in more than 100 pairs tried so far, in all cases including also the scaling as a parameter to be optimized
