	Title	DARE: Adaptive Data Replication for Efficient Cluster Scheduling			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2011	Publication	IEEE International Conference on Cluster Computing, 2011	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages	159 - 168
	Keywords	MapReduce, replication, scheduling, locality
	Abstract	Placing data as close as possible to computation is a common practice of data intensive systems, commonly referred to as the data locality problem. By analyzing existing production systems, we confirm the benefit of data locality and find that data have different popularity and varying correlation of accesses. We propose DARE, a distributed adaptive data replication algorithm that aids the scheduler to achieve better data locality. DARE solves two problems, how many replicas to allocate for each file and where to place them, using probabilistic sampling and a competitive aging algorithm independently at each node. It takes advantage of existing remote data accesses in the system and incurs no extra network usage. Using two mixed workload traces from Facebook, we show that DARE improves data locality by more than 7 times with the FIFO scheduler in Hadoop and achieves more than 85% data locality for the FAIR scheduler with delay scheduling. Turnaround time and job slowdown are reduced by 19% and 25%, respectively.

	Title	Evaluating Group-Robot Interaction in Crowded Public Spaces: A Week-Long Exploratory Study in the Wild with a Humanoid Robot Guiding Visitors Through a Science Museum.			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2015	Publication	International Journal of Humanoid Robotics	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume	Vol. 12	Issue		Pages
	Keywords	Group-robot interaction; robotic-guide; social navigation; space management; spatial formations; group walking behavior; crowd behavior
	Abstract	This paper describes an exploratory study on group interaction with a robot-guide in an open large-scale busy environment. For an entire week a humanoid robot was deployed in the popular Cosmocaixa Science Museum in Barcelona and guided hundreds of people through the museum facilities. The main goal of this experience is to study in the wild the episodes of the robot guiding visitors to a requested destination focusing on the group behavior during displacement. The walking behavior follow-me and the face to face communication in a populated environment are analyzed in terms of guide- visitors interaction, grouping patterns and spatial formations. Results from observational data show that the space configurations spontaneously formed by the robot guide and visitors walking together did not always meet the robot communicative and navigational requirements for successful guidance. Therefore additional verbal and nonverbal prompts must be considered to regulate effectively the walking together and follow-me behaviors. Finally, we discuss lessons learned and recommendations for robot’s spatial behavior in dense crowded scenarios.

	Title	Wavelet-Based Visible and Infrared Image Fusion: A Comparative Study			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2016	Publication	Sensors Journal	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume	Vol. 16	Issue		Pages	pp. 1-15
	Keywords	image fusion; fusion evaluation metrics; visible and infrared imaging; discrete wavelet transform
	Abstract	This paper evaluates different wavelet-based cross-spectral image fusion strategies adopted to merge visible and infrared images. The objective is to find the best setup independently of the evaluation metric used to measure the performance. Quantitative performance results are obtained with state of the art approaches together with adaptations proposed in the current work. The options evaluated in the current work result from the combination of different setups in the wavelet image decomposition stage together with different fusion strategies for the final merging stage that generates the resulting representation. Most of the approaches evaluate results according to the application for which they are intended for. Sometimes a human observer is selected to judge the quality of the obtained results. In the current work, quantitative values are considered in order to find correlations between setups and performance of obtained results; these correlations can be used to define a criteria for selecting the best fusion strategy for a given pair of cross-spectral images. The whole procedure is evaluated with a large set of correctly registered visible and infrared image pairs, including both Near InfraRed (NIR) and LongWave InfraRed (LWIR).

	Title	Learning crossspectral similarity measures with deep convolutional neural networks			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2016	Publication	IEEE International Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR) Workshops	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages	267-275
	Keywords
	Abstract	The simultaneous use of images from different spectra can be helpful to improve the performance of many com- puter vision tasks. The core idea behind the usage of cross- spectral 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 archi- tectures 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. Ex- perimental results show that CNN approaches outperform the current state-of-art on both cross-spectral datasets. Ad- ditionally, our experiments show that some CNN architec- tures are capable of generalizing between different cross- spectral domains.

	Title	Incremental Scenario Representations for Autonomous Driving using Geometric Polygonal Primitives			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2016	Publication	Robotics and Autonomous Systems Journal	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume	Vol. 83	Issue		Pages	pp. 312-325
	Keywords	Incremental scene reconstructionPoint cloudsAutonomous vehiclesPolygonal primitives
	Abstract	When an autonomous vehicle is traveling through some scenario it receives a continuous stream of sensor data. This sensor data arrives in an asynchronous fashion and often contains overlapping or redundant information. Thus, it is not trivial how a representation of the environment observed by the vehicle can be created and updated over time. This paper presents a novel methodology to compute an incremental 3D representation of a scenario from 3D range measurements. We propose to use macro scale polygonal primitives to model the scenario. This means that the representation of the scene is given as a list of large scale polygons that describe the geometric structure of the environment. Furthermore, we propose mechanisms designed to update the geometric polygonal primitives over time whenever fresh sensor data is collected. Results show that the approach is capable of producing accurate descriptions of the scene, and that it is computationally very efficient when compared to other reconstruction techniques.

	Title	Incremental Texture Mapping for Autonomous Driving			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2016	Publication	Robotics and Autonomous Systems Journal	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume	Vol. 84	Issue		Pages	pp. 113-128
	Keywords	Scene reconstruction, Autonomous driving, Texture mapping
	Abstract	Autonomous vehicles have a large number of on-board sensors, not only for providing coverage all around the vehicle, but also to ensure multi-modality in the observation of the scene. Because of this, it is not trivial to come up with a single, unique representation that feeds from the data given by all these sensors. We propose an algorithm which is capable of mapping texture collected from vision based sensors onto a geometric description of the scenario constructed from data provided by 3D sensors. The algorithm uses a constrained Delaunay triangulation to produce a mesh which is updated using a specially devised sequence of operations. These enforce a partial configuration of the mesh that avoids bad quality textures and ensures that there are no gaps in the texture. Results show that this algorithm is capable of producing fine quality textures.
