	Title	A Fault Tolerant Perception system for autonomous vehicles			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2016	Publication	35th Chinese Control Conference (CCC2016), International Conference on, Chengdu	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages	1-6
	Keywords	Fault Tolerant Perception, Sensor Data Fusion, Fault Tolerance, Autonomous Vehicles, Federated Architecture
	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.

	Title	Thermal Image SuperResolution through Deep Convolutional Neural Network.			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2019	Publication	16th International Conference on Image Analysis and Recognition (ICIAR 2019); Waterloo, Canadá	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages	417-426
	Keywords
	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. The thermal dataset is available at http://www.cidis.espol.edu.ec/es/dataset

	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	Towards Fault Tolerant Perception for autonomous vehicles: Local Fusion.			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2015	Publication	IEEE 7th International Conference on Cybernetics and Intelligent Systems (CIS) and IEEE Conference on Robotics, Automation and Mechatronics (RAM), Siem Reap, 2015.	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages	253-258
	Keywords
	Abstract	Many robust sensor fusion strategies have been developed in order to reliably detect the surrounding environments of an autonomous vehicle. However, in real situations there is always the possibility that sensors or other components may fail. Thus, internal modules and sensors need to be monitored to ensure their proper function. This paper introduces a general view of a perception architecture designed to detect and classify obstacles in an autonomous vehicle's environment using a fault tolerant framework, whereas elaborates the object detection and local fusion modules proposed in order to achieve the modularity and real-time process required by the system.

	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	A visible-Thermal Fusion based Monocular Visual Odometry			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2015	Publication	Iberian Robotics Conference (ROBOT 2015), International Conference on, Lisbon, Portugal, 2015	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume	417	Issue		Pages	517-528
	Keywords	Monocular Visual Odometry; LWIR-RGB cross-spectral Imaging; Image Fusion
	Abstract	The manuscript evaluates the performance of a monocular visual odometry approach when images from different spectra are considered, both independently and fused. The objective behind this evaluation is to analyze if classical approaches can be improved when the given images, which are from different spectra, are fused and represented in new domains. The images in these new domains should have some of the following properties: i) more robust to noisy data; ii) less sensitive to changes (e.g., lighting); iii) more rich in descriptive information, among other. In particular in the current work two different image fusion strategies are considered. Firstly, images from the visible and thermal spectrum are fused using a Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) approach. Secondly, a monochrome threshold strategy is considered. The obtained representations are evaluated under a visual odometry framework, highlighting their advantages and disadvantages, using different urban and semi-urban scenarios. Comparisons with both monocular-visible spectrum and monocular-infrared spectrum, are also provided showing the validity of the proposed approach.

	Volume	Vol. 14	Issue		Pages	pp. 3690-3701
	Keywords	cross-spectral imaging; feature point descriptors
	Abstract	This manuscript evaluates the behavior of classical feature point descriptors when they are used in images from long-wave infrared spectral band and compare them with the results obtained in the visible spectrum. Robustness to changes in rotation, scaling, blur, and additive noise are analyzed using a state of the art framework. Experimental results using a cross-spectral outdoor image data set are presented and conclusions from these experiments are given.

	Title	Monocular visual odometry: a cross-spectral image fusion based approach			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2016	Publication	Robotics and Autonomous Systems Journal	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume	Vol. 86	Issue		Pages	pp. 26-36
	Keywords	Monocular visual odometry LWIR-RGB cross-spectral imaging Image fusion
	Abstract	This manuscript evaluates the usage of fused cross-spectral images in a monocular visual odometry approach. Fused images are obtained through a Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) scheme, where the best setup is em- pirically obtained by means of a mutual information based evaluation met- ric. The objective is to have a exible scheme where fusion parameters are adapted according to the characteristics of the given images. Visual odom- etry is computed from the fused monocular images using an off the shelf approach. Experimental results using data sets obtained with two different platforms are presented. Additionally, comparison with a previous approach as well as with monocular-visible/infrared spectra are also provided showing the advantages of the proposed scheme.

	Title	An approach to automatic assistance in physiotherapy based on on-line movement identification.			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2012	Publication	VI Andean Region International Conference – ANDESCON 2012	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages
	Keywords	patient rehabilitation, patient treatment, statistical analysis
	Abstract	This paper describes a method for on-line movement identification, oriented to patient’s movement evaluation during physiotherapy. An analysis based on Mahalanobis distance between temporal windows is performed to identify the “idle/motion” state, which defines the beginning and end of the patient’s movement, for posterior patterns extraction based on Relative Wavelet Energy from sequences of invariant moments.

	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).
