  Title Integrating Visual and Textual Cues for Query-by-String Word Spotting Type Conference Article
  Year 2013 Publication 12th International Conference on Document Analysis and Recognition Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages 511 - 515  
  Keywords  
  Abstract In this paper, we present a word spotting framework that follows the query-by-string paradigm where word images are represented both by textual and visual representations. The textual representation is formulated in terms of character $n$-grams while the visual one is based on the bag-of-visual-words scheme. These two representations are merged together and projected to a sub-vector space. This transform allows to, given a textual query, retrieve word instances that were only represented by the visual modality. Moreover, this statistical representation can be used together with state-of-the-art indexation structures in order to deal with large-scale scenarios. The proposed method is evaluated using a collection of historical documents outperforming state-of-the-art performances.

  Title Adapting a Pedestrian Detector by Boosting LDA Exemplar Classifiers Type Conference Article
  Year 2013 Publication CVPR Workshop on Ground Truth – What is a good dataset? Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages 688 - 693  
  Keywords Pedestrian Detection; Domain Adaptation  
  Abstract Training vision-based pedestrian detectors using synthetic datasets (virtual world) is a useful technique to collect automatically the training examples with their pixel-wise ground truth. However, as it is often the case, these detectors must operate in real-world images, experiencing a significant drop of their performance. In fact, this effect also occurs among different real-world datasets, i.e. detectors' accuracy drops when the training data (source domain) and the application scenario (target domain) have inherent differences. Therefore, in order to avoid this problem, it is required to adapt the detector trained with synthetic data to operate in the real-world scenario. In this paper, we propose a domain adaptation approach based on boosting LDA exemplar classifiers from both virtual and real worlds. We evaluate our proposal on multiple real-world pedestrian detection datasets. The results show that our method can efficiently adapt the exemplar classifiers from virtual to real world, avoiding drops in average precision over the 15%.

  Title Weakly Supervised Automatic Annotation of Pedestrian Bounding Boxes Type Conference Article
  Year 2013 Publication CVPR Workshop on Ground Truth – What is a good dataset? Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages 706 - 711  
  Keywords Pedestrian Detection; Domain Adaptation  
  Abstract Among the components of a pedestrian detector, its trained pedestrian classifier is crucial for achieving the desired performance. The initial task of the training process consists in collecting samples of pedestrians and background, which involves tiresome manual annotation of pedestrian bounding boxes (BBs). Thus, recent works have assessed the use of automatically collected samples from photo-realistic virtual worlds. However, learning from virtual-world samples and testing in real-world images may suffer the dataset shift problem. Accordingly, in this paper we assess an strategy to collect samples from the real world and retrain with them, thus avoiding the dataset shift, but in such a way that no BBs of real-world pedestrians have to be provided. In particular, we train a pedestrian classifier based on virtual-world samples (no human annotation required). Then, using such a classifier we collect pedestrian samples from real-world images by detection. After, a human oracle rejects the false detections efficiently (weak annotation). Finally, a new classifier is trained with the accepted detections. We show that this classifier is competitive with respect to the counterpart trained with samples collected by manually annotating hundreds of pedestrian BBs.

  Title When Is A Confidence Measure Good Enough? Type Conference Article
  Year 2013 Publication 9th International Conference on Computer Vision Systems Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 7963 Issue Pages 344-353  
  Keywords Optical flow, confidence measure, performance evaluation  
  Abstract Confidence estimation has recently become a hot topic in image processing and computer vision.Yet, several definitions exist of the term “confidence” which are sometimes used interchangeably. This is a position paper, in which we aim to give an overview on existing definitions,
thereby clarifying the meaning of the used terms to facilitate further research in this field. Based on these clarifications, we develop a theory to compare confidence measures with respect to their quality.

  Title Learning a Multiview Part-based Model in Virtual World for Pedestrian Detection Type Conference Article
  Year 2013 Publication IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages 467 - 472  
  Keywords Pedestrian Detection; Virtual World; Part based  
  Abstract State-of-the-art deformable part-based models based on latent SVM have shown excellent results on human detection. In this paper, we propose to train a multiview deformable part-based model with automatically generated part examples from virtual-world data. The method is efficient as: (i) the part detectors are trained with precisely extracted virtual examples, thus no latent learning is needed, (ii) the multiview pedestrian detector enhances the performance of the pedestrian root model, (iii) a top-down approach is used for part detection which reduces the searching space. We evaluate our model on Daimler and Karlsruhe Pedestrian Benchmarks with publicly available Caltech pedestrian detection evaluation framework and the result outperforms the state-of-the-art latent SVM V4.0, on both average miss rate and speed (our detector is ten times faster).

  Title Semantic Road Segmentation via Multi-Scale Ensembles of Learned Features Type Conference Article
  Year 2012 Publication 12th European Conference on Computer Vision – Workshops and Demonstrations Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 7584 Issue Pages 586-595  
  Keywords road detection  
  Abstract Semantic segmentation refers to the process of assigning an object label (e.g., building, road, sidewalk, car, pedestrian) to every pixel in an image. Common approaches formulate the task as a random field labeling problem modeling the interactions between labels by combining local and contextual features such as color, depth, edges, SIFT or HoG. These models are trained to maximize the likelihood of the correct classification given a training set. However, these approaches rely on hand–designed features (e.g., texture, SIFT or HoG) and a higher computational time required in the inference process.
Therefore, in this paper, we focus on estimating the unary potentials of a conditional random field via ensembles of learned features. We propose an algorithm based on convolutional neural networks to learn local features from training data at different scales and resolutions. Then, diversification between these features is exploited using a weighted linear combination. Experiments on a publicly available database show the effectiveness of the proposed method to perform semantic road scene segmentation in still images. The algorithm outperforms appearance based methods and its performance is similar compared to state–of–the–art methods using other sources of information such as depth, motion or stereo.

  Title Non-Rigid Shape Registration: A Single Linear Least Squares Framework Type Conference Article
  Year 2012 Publication 12th European Conference on Computer Vision Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 7578 Issue Pages 264-277  
  Keywords  
  Abstract This paper proposes a non-rigid registration formulation capturing both global and local deformations in a single framework. This formulation is based on a quadratic estimation of the registration distance together with a quadratic regularization term. Hence, the optimal transformation parameters are easily obtained by solving a liner system of equations, which guarantee a fast convergence. Experimental results with challenging 2D and 3D shapes are presented to show the validity of the proposed framework. Furthermore, comparisons with the most relevant approaches are provided.

  Volume 221 Issue Pages 469-480  
  Keywords  
  Abstract This paper presents a bag of feature based method for visual object recognition. Our contribution is focussed on the selection of the best feature descriptor. It is implemented by using a novel multi-table reinforcement learning method that selects among five of classical descriptors (i.e., Spin, SIFT, SURF, C-SIFT and PHOW) the one that best describes each image. Experimental results and comparisons are provided showing the improvements achieved with the proposed approach.

  Title Video Co-segmentation Type Conference Article
  Year 2012 Publication 11th Asian Conference on Computer Vision Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 7725 Issue Pages 13-24  
  Keywords  
  Abstract Segmentation of a single image is in general a highly underconstrained problem. A frequent approach to solve it is to somehow provide prior knowledge or constraints on how the objects of interest look like (in terms of their shape, size, color, location or structure). Image co-segmentation trades the need for such knowledge for something much easier to obtain, namely, additional images showing the object from other viewpoints. Now the segmentation problem is posed as one of differentiating the similar object regions in all the images from the more varying background. In this paper, for the first time, we extend this approach to video segmentation: given two or more video sequences showing the same object (or objects belonging to the same class) moving in a similar manner, we aim to outline its region in all the frames. In addition, the method works in an unsupervised manner, by learning to segment at testing time. We compare favorably with two state-of-the-art methods on video segmentation and report results on benchmark videos.
