Xavier Soria, Edgar Riba, & Angel D. Sappa. (2020). Dense Extreme Inception Network: Towards a Robust CNN Model for Edge Detection. In 2020 IEEE Winter Conference on Applications of Computer Vision (WACV) (pp. 1912–1921).
Abstract: This paper proposes a Deep Learning based edge de- tector, which is inspired on both HED (Holistically-Nested Edge Detection) and Xception networks. The proposed ap- proach generates thin edge-maps that are plausible for hu- man eyes; it can be used in any edge detection task without previous training or fine tuning process. As a second contri- bution, a large dataset with carefully annotated edges, has been generated. This dataset has been used for training the proposed approach as well the state-of-the-art algorithms for comparisons. Quantitative and qualitative evaluations have been performed on different benchmarks showing im- provements with the proposed method when F-measure of ODS and OIS are considered.

Angel Morera, Angel Sánchez, Angel D. Sappa, & José F. Vélez. (2019). Robust Detection of Outdoor Urban Advertising Panels in Static Images. In 17th International Conference on Practical Applications of Agents and Multi-Agent Systems (PAAMS 2019); Ávila, España. Communications in Computer and Information Science (Vol. 1047, pp. 246–256).
Abstract: One interesting publicity application for Smart City environments is recognizing brand information contained in urban advertising
panels. For such a purpose, a previous stage is to accurately detect and
locate the position of these panels in images. This work presents an effective solution to this problem using a Single Shot Detector (SSD) based
on a deep neural network architecture that minimizes the number of
false detections under multiple variable conditions regarding the panels and the scene. Achieved experimental results using the Intersection
over Union (IoU) accuracy metric make this proposal applicable in real
complex urban images.

Armin Mehri, & Angel D. Sappa. (2019). Colorizing Near Infrared Images through a Cyclic Adversarial Approach of Unpaired Samples. In Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Workshops (CVPR 2019); Long Beach, California, United States (pp. 971–979).
Abstract: This paper presents a novel approach for colorizing
near infrared (NIR) images. The approach is based on
image-to-image translation using a Cycle-Consistent adversarial network for learning the color channels on unpaired dataset. This architecture is able to handle unpaired datasets. The approach uses as generators tailored
networks that require less computation times, converge
faster and generate high quality samples. The obtained results have been quantitatively—using standard evaluation
metrics—and qualitatively evaluated showing considerable
improvements with respect to the state of the art

G.A. Rubio, & Wilton Agila. (2019). Sustainable Energy: A Strategic View of Fuel Cells. In 8th International Conference on Renewable Energy Research and Applications (ICRERA 2019); Brasov, Rumania (pp. 239–243).
Abstract: Based on the model of the proton exchange fuel cell in a strategic context,
this document develops the issue of energy as one of the pillars to achieve the
sustainability of our planet, considering the future scenarios up to the year 2060 of the
situation energy, hydrogen as a strategic vector and the contribution of the fuel cell in
solving the serious problems of environmental pollution and economic inequity that
humanity faces; for its application in the energy generation, telecommunications and
vehicle manufacturing industries.
