Title Vegetation Index Estimation from Monospectral Images Type Conference Article
Year 2018 Publication 15th International Conference, Image Analysis and Recognition (ICIAR 2018), Póvoa de Varzim, Portugal. Lecture Notes in Computer Science Abbreviated Journal
Volume 10882 Issue Pages 353-362
Keywords (down)
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.

Title Near InfraRed Imagery Colorization Type Conference Article
Year 2018 Publication 25 th IEEE International Conference on Image Processing, ICIP 2018 Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 2237-2241
Keywords (down)
Abstract This paper proposes a stacked conditional Generative

Adversarial Network-based method for Near InfraRed

(NIR) imagery colorization. We propose a variant architecture

of Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) that uses multiple

loss functions over a conditional probabilistic generative model.

We show that this new architecture/loss-function yields better

generalization and representation of the generated colored IR

images. The proposed approach is evaluated on a large test

dataset and compared to recent state of the art methods using

standard metrics.1

Title Adaptive Harris Corners Detector Evaluated with Cross-Spectral Images Type Conference Article
Year 2018 Publication International Conference on Information Technology & Systems (ICITS 2018). ICITS 2018. Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing Abbreviated Journal
Volume 721 Issue Pages
Keywords (down)
Abstract This paper proposes a novel approach to use cross-spectral

images to achieve a better performance with the proposed Adaptive Harris

corner detector comparing its obtained results with those achieved

with images of the visible spectra. The images of urban, field, old-building

and country category were used for the experiments, given the variety of

the textures present in these images, with which the complexity of the

proposal is much more challenging for its verification. It is a new scope,

which means improving the detection of characteristic points using crossspectral

images (NIR, G, B) and applying pruning techniques, the combination

of channels for this fusion is the one that generates the largest

variance based on the intensity of the merged pixels, therefore, it is that

which maximizes the entropy in the resulting Cross-spectral images.

Harris is one of the most widely used corner detection algorithm, so

any improvement in its efficiency is an important contribution in the

field of computer vision. The experiments conclude that the inclusion of

a (NIR) channel in the image as a result of the combination of the spectra,

greatly improves the corner detection due to better entropy of the

resulting image after the fusion, Therefore the fusion process applied to

the images improves the results obtained in subsequent processes such as

identification of objects or patterns, classification and/or segmentation.

Title Cross-spectral image dehaze through a dense stacked conditional GAN based approach. Type Conference Article
Year 2018 Publication 14th IEEE International Conference on Signal Image Technology & Internet based Systems (SITIS 2018) Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 358-364
Keywords (down)
Abstract This paper proposes a novel approach to remove haze from RGB images using a near infrared images based on a dense stacked conditional Generative Adversarial Network (CGAN). The architecture of the deep network implemented receives, besides the images with haze, its corresponding image in the near infrared spectrum, which serve to accelerate the learning process of the details of the characteristics of the images. The model uses a triplet layer that allows the independence learning of each channel of the visible spectrum image to remove the haze on each color channel separately. A multiple loss function scheme is proposed, which ensures balanced learning between the colors and the structure of the images. Experimental results have shown that the proposed method effectively removes the haze from the images. Additionally, the proposed approach is compared with a state of the art approach showing better results.

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

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 Sensor Fault Detection and Diagnosis for autonomous vehicles Type Conference Article

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.
