	Title	Statistical Representations of a Dashboard to Monitor Educational Videogames in Natural Language			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2020	Publication	ETLTC – ACM Chapter: International Conference on Educational Technology, Language and Technical Communication; Fukushima, Japan, 27-31 Enero 2020	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume	77	Issue		Pages
	Keywords
	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.

	Title	Image Vegetation Index through a Cycle Generative Adversarial Network			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2019	Publication	Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Workshops (CVPR 2019); Long Beach, California, United States	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages	1014-1021
	Keywords
	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.

	Title	Thermal Image Super-Resolution Challenge Results- PBVS 2022.			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2022	Publication	Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Workshops, (CVPRW 2022), junio 19-24.	Abbreviated Journal	CONFERENCE
	Volume	2022-June	Issue		Pages	349-357
	Keywords
	Abstract	This paper presents results from the third Thermal Image Super-Resolution (TISR) challenge organized in the Perception Beyond the Visible Spectrum (PBVS) 2022 workshop. The challenge uses the same thermal image dataset as the first two challenges, with 951 training images and 50 validation images at each resolution. A set of 20 images was kept aside for testing. The evaluation tasks were to measure the PSNR and SSIM between the SR image and the ground truth (HR thermal noisy image downsampled by four), and also to measure the PSNR and SSIM between the SR image and the semi-registered HR image (acquired with another camera). The results outperformed those from last year’s challenge, improving both evaluation metrics. This year, almost 100 teams participants registered for the challenge, showing the community’s interest in this hot topic.

	Title	A predictive model for human activity recognition by observing actions and context			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2015	Publication	ACIVS 2015 (Advanced Concepts for Intelligent Vision Systems), International Conference on, Catania, Italy, 2015	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages	323 - 333
	Keywords	Edge width, Image blu,r Defocus map, Edge model
	Abstract	This paper presents a novel model to estimate human activities – a human activity is defined by a set of human actions. The proposed approach is based on the usage of Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) and Bayesian inference through the continuous monitoring of human actions and its surrounding environment. In the current work human activities are inferred considering not only visual analysis but also additional resources; external sources of information, such as context information, are incorporated to contribute to the activity estimation. The novelty of the proposed approach lies in the way the information is encoded, so that it can be later associated according to a predefined semantic structure. Hence, a pattern representing a given activity can be defined by a set of actions, plus contextual information or other kind of information that could be relevant to describe the activity. Experimental results with real data are provided showing the validity of the proposed approach.

	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	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	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
	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 Index Terms—Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), Generative Adversarial Network (GAN), Infrared Imagery colorization.
