	Title	Incremental Scenario Representations for Autonomous Driving using Geometric Polygonal Primitives			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2016	Publication	Robotics and Autonomous Systems Journal	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume	Vol. 83	Issue		Pages	pp. 312-325
	Keywords	Incremental scene reconstructionPoint cloudsAutonomous vehiclesPolygonal primitives
	Abstract	When an autonomous vehicle is traveling through some scenario it receives a continuous stream of sensor data. This sensor data arrives in an asynchronous fashion and often contains overlapping or redundant information. Thus, it is not trivial how a representation of the environment observed by the vehicle can be created and updated over time. This paper presents a novel methodology to compute an incremental 3D representation of a scenario from 3D range measurements. We propose to use macro scale polygonal primitives to model the scenario. This means that the representation of the scene is given as a list of large scale polygons that describe the geometric structure of the environment. Furthermore, we propose mechanisms designed to update the geometric polygonal primitives over time whenever fresh sensor data is collected. Results show that the approach is capable of producing accurate descriptions of the scene, and that it is computationally very efficient when compared to other reconstruction techniques.

	Title	Incremental Texture Mapping for Autonomous Driving			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2016	Publication	Robotics and Autonomous Systems Journal	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume	Vol. 84	Issue		Pages	pp. 113-128
	Keywords	Scene reconstruction, Autonomous driving, Texture mapping
	Abstract	Autonomous vehicles have a large number of on-board sensors, not only for providing coverage all around the vehicle, but also to ensure multi-modality in the observation of the scene. Because of this, it is not trivial to come up with a single, unique representation that feeds from the data given by all these sensors. We propose an algorithm which is capable of mapping texture collected from vision based sensors onto a geometric description of the scenario constructed from data provided by 3D sensors. The algorithm uses a constrained Delaunay triangulation to produce a mesh which is updated using a specially devised sequence of operations. These enforce a partial configuration of the mesh that avoids bad quality textures and ensures that there are no gaps in the texture. Results show that this algorithm is capable of producing fine quality textures.

	Title	Multi-sensor Fusion Module in a Fault Tolerant Perception System for Autonomous Vehicles			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2016	Publication	Journal of Automation and Control Engineering (JOACE)	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume	Vol. 4	Issue		Pages	pp. 430-436
	Keywords	Fault Tolerance, Data Fusion, Multi-sensor Fusion, Autonomous Vehicles, Perception System
	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	Open Source system for identification of corn leaf chlorophyll contents based on multispectral images			Type	Conference Article
	Year	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	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	Facts and Perceptions Regarding Software Measurement in Education and in Practice: Preliminary Results			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2011	Publication	Journal of Software Engineering and Application	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages	pp. 227-234
	Keywords	Software measurement, education, software engineering
	Abstract	How is software measurement addressed in undergraduate and graduate programs in universities? Do organizations consider that the graduating students they hire have an adequate knowledge of software measurement? To answer these and related questions, a survey was administered to participants who attended the IWSM-MENSURA 2010 conference in Stuttgart, Germany. Forty-seven of the 69 conference participants (including software development practitioners, software measurement consultants, university professors, and graduate students) took part in the survey. The results indicate that software measurement topics are: A) covered mostly at the graduate level and not at the undergraduate level, and B) not mandatory. Graduate students and professors consider that, of the measurement topics covered in university curricula, specific topics, such as measures for the requirements phase, and measurement techniques and tools, receive more attention in the academic context. A common observation of the practitioners who participated in the survey was that students hired as new employees bring limited software measurement-related knowledge to their organizations. Discussion of the findings and directions for future research are presented.

	Title	Lateral confinement of high-impedance surface-waves through reinforcement learning			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2020	Publication	Electronics Letters	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume	Vol. 56	Issue	23, 12 November 2020	Pages	pp. 1262-1264
	Keywords
	Abstract	The authors present a model-free policy-based reinforcement learning model that introduces perturbations on the pattern of a metasurface. The objective is to learn a policy that changes the size of the patches, and therefore the impedance in the sides of an artificially structured material. The proposed iterative model assigns the highest reward when the patch sizes allow the transmission along a constrained path and penalties when the patch sizes make the surface wave radiate to the sides of the metamaterial. After convergence, the proposed model learns an optimal patch pattern that achieves lateral confinement along the metasurface. Simulation results show that the proposed learned-pattern can effectively guide the electromagnetic wave through a metasurface, maintaining its instantaneous eigenstate when the homogeneity is perturbed. Moreover, the pattern learned to prevent reflections by changing the patch sizes adiabatically. The reflection coefficient S1, 2 shows that most of the power gets transferred from the source to the destination with the proposed design.

	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.
