| Abstract | This paper proposes a novel CycleGAN architecture for thermal image super-resolution, together with a large dataset consisting of thermal images at different resolutions. The dataset has been acquired using three thermal cameras at different resolutions, which acquire images from the same scenario at the same time. The thermal cameras are mounted in rig trying to minimize the baseline distance to make easier the registration problem. The proposed architecture is based on ResNet6 as a Generator and PatchGAN as Discriminator. The novelty on the proposed unsupervised super-resolution training (CycleGAN) is possible due to the existence of aforementioned thermal images—images of the same scenario with different resolutions. The proposed approach is evaluated in the dataset and compared with classical bicubic interpolation. The dataset and the network are available. |

| Abstract | This paper summarizes the top contributions to the first challenge on thermal image super-resolution (TISR) which was organized as part of the Perception Beyond the Visible Spectrum (PBVS) 2020 workshop. In this challenge, a novel thermal image dataset is considered together with stateof-the-art approaches evaluated under a common framework. The dataset used in the challenge consists of 1021 thermal images, obtained from three distinct thermal cameras at different resolutions (low-resolution, mid-resolution, and high-resolution), resulting in a total of 3063 thermal images. From each resolution, 951 images are used for training and 50 for testing while the 20 remaining images are used for two proposed evaluations. The first evaluation consists of downsampling the low-resolution, midresolution, and high-resolution thermal images by x2, x3 and x4 respectively, and comparing their super-resolution results with the corresponding ground truth images. The second evaluation is comprised of obtaining the x2 superresolution from a given mid-resolution thermal image and comparing it with the corresponding semi-registered highresolution thermal image. Out of 51 registered participants, 6 teams reached the final validation phase. |

| Abstract | This paper explains how Natural Language (NL) processing by computers, through smart programs as a way of Machine Learning (ML), can represent large sets of quantitative data as written statements. The study recognized the need to improve the implemented web platform using a dashboard in which we collected a set of extensive data to measure assessment factors of using children´s educational games. In this case, applying NL is a strategy to give assessments, build, and display more precise written statements to enhance the understanding of children´s gaming behavior. We propose the development of a new tool to assess the use of written explanations rather than a statistical representation of feedback information for the comprehension of parents and teachers with a lack of primary level knowledge in statistics. Applying fuzzy logic theory, we present verbatim explanations of children´s behavior playing educational videogames as NL interpretation instead of statistical representations. An educational series of digital game applications for mobile devices, identified as MIDI (Spanish acronym of “Interactive Didactic Multimedia for Children”) linked to a dashboard in the cloud, is evaluated using the dashboard metrics. MIDI games tested in local primary schools helps to evaluate the results of using the proposed tool. The guiding results allow analyzing the degrees of playability and usability factors obtained from the data produced when children play a MIDI game. The results obtained are presented in a comprehensive guiding evaluation report applying NL for parents and teachers. These guiding evaluations are useful to enhance children's learning understanding related to the school curricula applied to ludic digital games. |

| Abstract | This paper proposes a novel approach to estimate the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) just from an RGB image. The NDVI values are obtained by using images from the visible spectral band together with a synthetic near infrared image obtained by a cycled GAN. The cycled GAN network is able to obtain a NIR image from a given gray scale image. It is trained by using unpaired set of gray scale and NIR images by using a U-net architecture and a multiple loss function (gray scale images are obtained from the provided RGB images). Then, the NIR image estimated with the proposed cycle generative adversarial network is used to compute the NDVI index. Experimental results are provided showing the validity of the proposed approach. Additionally, comparisons with previous approaches are also provided. |

| Abstract | Due to the lack of thermal image datasets, a new dataset has been acquired for proposed a superesolution approach using a Deep Convolution Neural Network schema. In order to achieve this image enhancement process a new thermal images dataset is used. Di?erent experiments have been carried out, ?rstly, the proposed architecture has been trained using only images of the visible spectrum, and later it has been trained with images of the thermal spectrum, the results showed that with the network trained with thermal images, better results are obtained in the process of enhancing the images, maintaining the image details and perspective.

| Abstract | Comparing images regions are one of the core methods used on computer vision for tasks like image classification, scene understanding, object detection and recognition. Hence, this paper proposes a novel approach to determine similarity of image regions (patches), in order to obtain the best representation of image patches. This problem has been studied by many researchers presenting different approaches, however, the ability to find the better criteria to measure the similarity on image regions are still a challenge. The present work tackles this problem using a few-shot metric based meta-learning framework able to compare image regions and determining a similarity measure to decide if there is similarity between the compared patches. Our model is training end-to-end from scratch. Experimental results have shown that the proposed approach effectively estimates the similarity of the patches and, comparing it with the state of the art approaches, shows better results. |

| 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. |

| Abstract | This paper proposes a novel approach to remove haze degradations in RGB images using a stacked conditional Generative Adversarial Network (GAN). It employs a triplet of GAN to remove the haze on each color channel independently. A multiple loss functions scheme, applied over a conditional probabilistic model, is proposed. The proposed GAN architecture learns to remove the haze, using as conditioned entrance, the images with haze from which the clear images will be obtained. Such formulation ensures a fast model training convergence and a homogeneous model generalization. Experiments showed that the proposed method generates high-quality clear images. |

| Abstract | This paper proposes a novel approach to estimate Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) from just the red channel of a RGB image. The NDVI index is defined as the ratio of the difference of the red and infrared radiances over their sum. In other words, information from the red channel of a RGB image and the corresponding infrared spectral band are required for its computation. In the current work the NDVI index is estimated just from the red channel by training a Conditional Generative Adversarial Network (CGAN). The architecture proposed for the generative network consists of a single level structure, which combines at the final layer results from convolutional operations together with the given red channel with Gaussian noise to enhance details, resulting in a sharp NDVI image. Then, the discriminative model estimates the probability that the NDVI generated index came from the training dataset, rather than the index automatically generated. Experimental results with a large set of real images are provided showing that a Conditional GAN single level model represents an acceptable approach to estimate NDVI index. |
