	Title	Lateral confinement of high-impedance surface-waves through reinforcement learning			Type	Journal Article

	Abstract	The authors present a model-free policy-based reinforcement learning model that introduces perturbations on the pattern of a metasurface. The objective is to learn a policy that changes the size of the patches, and therefore the impedance in the sides of an artificially structured material. The proposed iterative model assigns the highest reward when the patch sizes allow the transmission along a constrained path and penalties when the patch sizes make the surface wave radiate to the sides of the metamaterial. After convergence, the proposed model learns an optimal patch pattern that achieves lateral confinement along the metasurface. Simulation results show that the proposed learned-pattern can effectively guide the electromagnetic wave through a metasurface, maintaining its instantaneous eigenstate when the homogeneity is perturbed. Moreover, the pattern learned to prevent reflections by changing the patch sizes adiabatically. The reflection coefficient S1, 2 shows that most of the power gets transferred from the source to the destination with the proposed design.

	Title	Facts and Perceptions Regarding Software Measurement in Education and in Practice: Preliminary Results			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2011	Publication	Journal of Software Engineering and Application	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages	pp. 227-234
	Keywords	Software measurement, education, software engineering
	Abstract	How is software measurement addressed in undergraduate and graduate programs in universities? Do organizations consider that the graduating students they hire have an adequate knowledge of software measurement? To answer these and related questions, a survey was administered to participants who attended the IWSM-MENSURA 2010 conference in Stuttgart, Germany. Forty-seven of the 69 conference participants (including software development practitioners, software measurement consultants, university professors, and graduate students) took part in the survey. The results indicate that software measurement topics are: A) covered mostly at the graduate level and not at the undergraduate level, and B) not mandatory. Graduate students and professors consider that, of the measurement topics covered in university curricula, specific topics, such as measures for the requirements phase, and measurement techniques and tools, receive more attention in the academic context. A common observation of the practitioners who participated in the survey was that students hired as new employees bring limited software measurement-related knowledge to their organizations. Discussion of the findings and directions for future research are presented.

	Title	Organ identification on shrimp histological images: A comparative study considering CNN and feature engineering.			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2018	Publication	IEEE Ecuador Technical Chapters Meeting ETCM 2018. Cuenca, Ecuador	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages	1-6
	Keywords
	Abstract	The identification of shrimp organs in biology using histological images is a complex task. Shrimp histological images poses a big challenge due to their texture and similarity among classes. Image classification by using feature engineering and convolutional neural networks (CNN) are suitable methods to assist biologists when performing organ detection. This work evaluates the Bag-of-Visual-Words (BOVW) and Pyramid-Bagof- Words (PBOW) models for image classification leveraging big data techniques; and transfer learning for the same classification task by using a pre-trained CNN. A comparative analysis of these two different techniques is performed, highlighting the characteristics of both approaches on the shrimp organs identification problem.

	Title	Cross-spectral image registration and fusion: an evaluation study			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2015	Publication	2nd International Conference on Machine Vision and Machine Learning	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume	331	Issue		Pages
	Keywords	multispectral imaging; image registration; data fusion; infrared and visible spectra
	Abstract	This paper presents a preliminary study on the registration and fusion of cross-spectral imaging. The objective is to evaluate the validity of widely used computer vision approaches when they are applied at different spectral bands. In particular, we are interested in merging images from the infrared (both long wave infrared: LWIR and near infrared: NIR) and visible spectrum (VS). Experimental results with different data sets are presented.

	Title	Open Source system for identification of corn leaf chlorophyll contents based on multispectral images			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2019	Publication	International Conference on Applied Technologies (ICAT 2019); Quito, Ecuador	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages	572-581
	Keywords
	Abstract	It is important for farmers to know the level of chlorophyll in plants since this depends on the treatment they should give to their crops. There are two common classic methods to get chlorophyll values: from laboratory analysis and electronic devices. Both methods obtain the chlorophyll level of one sample at a time, although they can be destructive. The objective of this research is to develop a system that allows obtaining the chlorophyll level of plants using images. Python programming language and different libraries of that language were used to develop the solution. It was decided to implement an image labeling module, a simple linear regression and a prediction module. The first module was used to create a database that links the values of the images with those of chlorophyll, which was then used to obtain linear regression in order to determine the relationship between these variables. Finally, the linear regression was used in the prediction system to obtain chlorophyll values from the images. The linear regression was trained with 92 images, obtaining a root-mean-square error of 7.27 SPAD units. While the testing was perform using 10 values getting a maximum error of 15.5%. It is concluded that the system is appropriate for chlorophyll contents identification of corn leaves in field tests. However, it can also be adapted for other measurement and crops. The system can be downloaded at github.com/JoeSvr95/NDVI-Checking [1].

	Title	Sensor Fault Detection and Diagnosis for autonomous vehicles			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2015	Publication	2nd International Conference on Mechatronics, Automation and Manufacturing (ICMAM 2015), International Conference on, Singapur, 2015	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume	30	Issue	MATEC Web of Conferences	Pages	1-6
	Keywords
	Abstract	In recent years testing autonomous vehicles on public roads has become a reality. However, before having autonomous vehicles completely accepted on the roads, they have to demonstrate safe operation and reliable interaction with other traffic participants. Furthermore, in real situations and long term operation, there is always the possibility that diverse components may fail. This paper deals with possible sensor faults by defining a federated sensor data fusion architecture. The proposed architecture is designed to detect obstacles in an autonomous vehicle’s environment while detecting a faulty sensor using SVM models for fault detection and diagnosis. Experimental results using sensor information from the KITTI dataset confirm the feasibility of the proposed architecture to detect soft and hard faults from a particular sensor.

	Title	Multi-sensor Fusion Module in a Fault Tolerant Perception System for Autonomous Vehicles			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2016	Publication	Journal of Automation and Control Engineering (JOACE)	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume	Vol. 4	Issue		Pages	pp. 430-436
	Keywords	Fault Tolerance, Data Fusion, Multi-sensor Fusion, Autonomous Vehicles, Perception System
	Abstract	Driverless vehicles are currently being tested on public roads in order to examine their ability to perform in a safe and reliable way in real world situations. However, the long-term reliable operation of a vehicle’s diverse sensors and the effects of potential sensor faults in the vehicle system have not been tested yet. This paper is proposing a sensor fusion architecture that minimizes the influence of a sensor fault. Experimental results are presented simulating faults by introducing displacements in the sensor information from the KITTI dataset.
