  Title Image patch similarity through a meta-learning metric based approach Type Conference Article
  Year (down) 2019 Publication 15th International Conference on Signal Image Technology & Internet based Systems (SITIS 2019); Sorrento, Italia Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages 511-517  
  Keywords  
  Abstract Comparing images regions are one of the core methods used on computer vision for tasks like image classification, scene understanding, object detection and recognition. Hence, this paper proposes a novel approach to determine similarity of image regions (patches), in order to obtain the best representation of image patches. This problem has been studied by many researchers presenting different approaches, however, the ability to find the better criteria to measure the similarity on image regions are still a challenge. The present work tackles this problem using a few-shot metric based meta-learning framework able to compare image regions and determining a similarity measure to decide if there is similarity between the compared patches. Our model is training end-to-end from scratch. Experimental results

have shown that the proposed approach effectively estimates the similarity of the patches and, comparing it with the state of the art approaches, shows better results.

  Title Open Source system for identification of corn leaf chlorophyll contents based on multispectral images Type Conference Article
  Year (down) 2019 Publication International Conference on Applied Technologies (ICAT 2019); Quito, Ecuador Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages 572-581  
  Keywords  
  Abstract It is important for farmers to know the level of chlorophyll in plants since this depends on the treatment they should give to their crops. There are two common classic methods to get chlorophyll values: from laboratory analysis and electronic devices. Both methods obtain the chlorophyll level of one sample at a time, although they can be destructive. The objective of this research is to develop a system that allows obtaining the chlorophyll level of plants using images.

Python programming language and different libraries of that language were used to develop the solution. It was decided to implement an image labeling module, a simple linear regression and a prediction module. The first module was used to create a database that links the values of the images with those of chlorophyll, which was then used to obtain linear regression in order to determine the relationship between these variables. Finally, the linear

regression was used in the prediction system to obtain chlorophyll values from the images. The linear regression was trained with 92 images, obtaining a root-mean-square error of 7.27 SPAD units. While the testing was perform using 10 values getting a maximum error of 15.5%.

It is concluded that the system is appropriate for chlorophyll contents identification of corn leaves in field tests.

However, it can also be adapted for other measurement and crops. The system can be downloaded at github.com/JoeSvr95/NDVI-Checking [1].

  Title Open Control Architecture for the Characterization and Control of the PEM Fuel Cell Type Conference Article
  Year (down) 2019 Publication IEEE ETCM 2019 Fourth Ecuador Technical Chapters Meeting; Guayaquil, Ecuador Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages 1-5  
  Keywords PEM fuel cell, Experimental System, Control Engineering.  
  Abstract Proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells, are an efficient and clean source of electrical energy. The analysis of its operation requires experimental work, which allows measuring, modeling and optimizing PEM fuel cells electrical behavior under different operating conditions. Therefore, having an experimentation platform that allows to easily carry out its study and control is essential. This research presents the design and development of an open instrumental system that allows measuring, controlling and determining the operating parameters of a PEM fuel cell. As results, the polarization curves, voltage-current, obtained by the system itself in different experimental conditions are shown. These curves are a very useful tool to evaluate the electrical behavior of the PEM battery.

  Title Melamine faced panels defect classification beyond the visible spectrum. Type Journal Article
  Year (down) 2018 Publication In Sensors 2018 Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Vol. 11 Issue Issue 11 Pages  
  Keywords  
  Abstract In this work, we explore the use of images from different spectral bands to classify defects in melamine faced panels, which could appear through the production process. Through experimental evaluation, we evaluate the use of images from the visible (VS), near-infrared (NIR), and long wavelength infrared (LWIR), to classify the defects using a feature descriptor learning approach together with a support vector machine classifier. Two descriptors were evaluated, Extended Local Binary Patterns (E-LBP) and SURF using a Bag of Words (BoW) representation. The evaluation was carried on with an image set obtained during this work, which contained five different defect categories that currently occurs in the industry. Results show that using images from beyond

the visual spectrum helps to improve classification performance in contrast with a single visible spectrum solution.

  Title Organ identification on shrimp histological images: A comparative study considering CNN and feature engineering. Type Conference Article
  Year (down) 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 Vegetation Index Estimation from Monospectral Images Type Conference Article
  Year (down) 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  
  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 (down) 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.

  Title Qualitative Model of Control in the Pressure Stabilization of PEM Fuel Cell Type Conference Article
  Year (down) 2018 Publication 7th International Conference on Renewable Energy Research and Applications, ICRERA 2018. Paris, Francia. Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages 1221-1226  
  Keywords  
  Abstract This work describes an approximate reasoning

technique to deal with the non-linearity that occurs in the

stabilization of the pressure of anodic and cathodic gases of a

proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEM). The implementation

of a supervisory element in the stabilization of the pressure of the

PEM cell is described. The fuzzy supervisor is a reference

control, it varies the value of the reference given to the classic

low-level controller, Proportional – Integral – Derivative (PID),

according to the speed of change of the measured pressure and

the change in the error of the pressure. The objective of the fuzzy

supervisor is to achieve a rapid response over time of the variable

pressure, avoiding unwanted overruns with respect to the

reference value. A comparative analysis is detailed with the

classic PID control to evaluate the operation of the “fuzzy

supervisor”, with different flow values and different sizes of

active area of the PEM cell (electric power generated).
