| Abstract | This paper presents a novel Siamese network architecture, as a variant of Resnet-50, to estimate the relative camera pose on multi-view environments. In order to improve the performance of the proposed model a transfer learning strategy, based on synthetic images obtained from a virtual-world, is considered. The transfer learning consist of first training the network using pairs of images from the virtual-world scenario considering different conditions (i.e., weather, illumination, objects, buildings, etc.); then, the learned weight of the network are transferred to the real case, where images from real-world scenarios are considered. Experimental results and comparisons with the state of the art show both, improvements on the relative pose estimation accuracy using the proposed model, as well as further improvements when the transfer learning strategy (synthetic-world data – transfer learning – real-world data) is considered to tackle the limitation on the training due to the reduced number of pairs of real-images on most of the public data sets. |

| Title | Thermal Image Super-Resolution: a Novel Architecture and Dataset | Type | Conference Article | ||

| Abstract | This paper proposes a novel CycleGAN architecture for thermal image super-resolution, together with a large dataset consisting of thermal images at different resolutions. The dataset has been acquired using three thermal cameras at different resolutions, which acquire images from the same scenario at the same time. The thermal cameras are mounted in rig trying to minimize the baseline distance to make easier the registration problem. The proposed architecture is based on ResNet6 as a Generator and PatchGAN as Discriminator. The novelty on the proposed unsupervised super-resolution training (CycleGAN) is possible due to the existence of aforementioned thermal images—images of the same scenario with different resolutions. The proposed approach is evaluated in the dataset and compared with classical bicubic interpolation. The dataset and the network are available. |

| Title | Human Pose Estimation through A Novel Multi-View Scheme | Type | Conference Article | ||
| Year | 2022 | Publication | Proceedings of the International Joint Conference on Computer Vision, Imaging and Computer Graphics Theory and Applications VISIGRAPP 2022 | Abbreviated Journal | |
| Volume |

| Keywords | Multi-View Scheme, Human Pose Estimation, Relative Camera Pose, Monocular Approach | ||||
| Abstract | This paper presents a multi-view scheme to tackle the challenging problem of the self-occlusion in human pose estimation problem. The proposed approach first obtains the human body joints of a set of images, which are captured from different views at the same time. Then, it enhances the obtained joints by using a multi-view scheme. Basically, the joints from a given view are used to enhance poorly estimated joints from another view, especially intended to tackle the self occlusions cases. A network architecture initially proposed for the monocular case is adapted to be used in the proposed multi-view scheme. Experimental results and comparisons with the state-of-the-art approaches on Human3.6m dataset are presented showing improvements in the accuracy of body joints estimations. |

| 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 | Wavelet-Based Visible and Infrared Image Fusion: A Comparative Study | Type | Journal Article | ||

| 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 | 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 | 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. | ||||

| 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. |
