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).

Title Feature Point Descriptors: Infrared and Visible Spectra Type Journal Article
Year 2014 Publication Sensors Journal Abbreviated Journal
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 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 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 Deep Learning based Single Image Dehazing Type Conference Article
Year 2018 Publication 14th IEEE Workshop on Perception Beyond the Visible Spectrum – In conjunction with CVPR 2018. Salt Lake City, Utah. USA Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords
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.

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

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
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.
