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. |

Abstract |
Comúnmente durante la rehabilitación física, el diagnóstico dado por el especialista se basa en observaciones cualitativas que sugieren, en algunos casos, conclusiones subjetivas. El presente trabajo propone un enfoque cuantitativo, orientado a servir de ayuda a fisioterapeutas, a través de una herramienta interactiva y de bajo costo que permite medir los movimientos de miembros superiores. Estos movimientos son capturados por un sensor RGB-D y procesados mediante la metodología propuesta, dando como resultado una eficiente representación de movimientos, permitiendo la evaluación cuantitativa de movimientos de los miembros superiores. |

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). |

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. |

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. |

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. |
