Co-occurrence of deep convolutional features for image search
(Elsevier, 2020) Forcén Carvalho, Juan Ignacio; Pagola Barrio, Miguel; Barrenechea Tartas, Edurne; Bustince Sola, Humberto; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas
Image search can be tackled using deep features from pre-trained Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN). The feature map from the last convolutional layer of a CNN encodes descriptive information from which a discriminative global descriptor can be obtained. We propose a new representation of co-occurrences from deep convolutional features to extract additional relevant information from this last convolutional layer. Combining this co-occurrence map with the feature map, we achieve an improved image representation. We present two different methods to get the co-occurrence representation, the first one based on direct aggregation of activations, and the second one, based on a trainable co-occurrence representation. The image descriptors derived from our methodology improve the performance in very well-known image retrieval datasets as we prove in the experiments.

A survey of fingerprint classification Part I: taxonomies on feature extraction methods and learning models
(Elsevier, 2015) Galar Idoate, Mikel; Derrac, Joaquín; Peralta, Daniel; Triguero, Isaac; Paternain Dallo, Daniel; López Molina, Carlos; García, Salvador; Benítez, José Manuel; Pagola Barrio, Miguel; Barrenechea Tartas, Edurne; Bustince Sola, Humberto; Herrera, Francisco; Automática y Computación; Automatika eta Konputazioa
This paper reviews the fingerprint classification literature looking at the problem from a double perspective. We first deal with feature extraction methods, including the different models considered for singular point detection and for orientation map extraction. Then, we focus on the different learning models considered to build the classifiers used to label new fingerprints. Taxonomies and classifications for the feature extraction, singular point detection, orientation extraction and learning methods are presented. A critical view of the existing literature have led us to present a discussion on the existing methods and their drawbacks such as difficulty in their reimplementation, lack of details or major differences in their evaluations procedures. On this account, an experimental analysis of the most relevant methods is carried out in the second part of this paper, and a new method based on their combination is presented.

A survey of fingerprint classification Part II: experimental analysis and ensemble proposal
(Elsevier, 2015) Galar Idoate, Mikel; Derrac, Joaquín; Peralta, Daniel; Triguero, Isaac; Paternain Dallo, Daniel; López Molina, Carlos; García, Salvador; Benítez, José Manuel; Pagola Barrio, Miguel; Barrenechea Tartas, Edurne; Bustince Sola, Humberto; Herrera, Francisco; Automática y Computación; Automatika eta Konputazioa
In the first part of this paper we reviewed the fingerprint classification literature from two different perspectives: the feature extraction and the classifier learning. Aiming at answering the question of which among the reviewed methods would perform better in a real implementation we end up in a discussion which showed the difficulty in answering this question. No previous comparison exists in the literature and comparisons among papers are done with different experimental frameworks. Moreover, the difficulty in implementing published methods was stated due to the lack of details in their description, parameters and the fact that no source code is shared. For this reason, in this paper we will go through a deep experimental study following the proposed double perspective. In order to do so, we have carefully implemented some of the most relevant feature extraction methods according to the explanations found in the corresponding papers and we have tested their performance with different classifiers, including those specific proposals made by the authors. Our aim is to develop an objective experimental study in a common framework, which has not been done before and which can serve as a baseline for future works on the topic. This way, we will not only test their quality, but their reusability by other researchers and will be able to indicate which proposals could be considered for future developments. Furthermore, we will show that combining different feature extraction models in an ensemble can lead to a superior performance, significantly increasing the results obtained by individual models.

Interval type-2 fuzzy sets are generalization of interval-valued fuzzy sets: towards a wider view on their relationship
(IEEE, 2015) Bustince Sola, Humberto; Fernández Fernández, Francisco Javier; Hagras, Hani; Herrera, Francisco; Pagola Barrio, Miguel; Barrenechea Tartas, Edurne; Automática y Computación; Automatika eta Konputazioa
In this paper, we will present a wider view on the relationship between interval-valued fuzzy sets and interval type- 2 fuzzy sets where we will show that interval-valued fuzzy sets are a particular case of the interval type-2 fuzzy sets. For this reason, both concepts should be treated in a different way. In addition, the view presented in this paper will allow a more general perspective of interval type-2 fuzzy sets which will allow representing concepts which could not be presented by intervalvalued fuzzy sets.

Learning ordered pooling weights in image classification
(Elsevier, 2020) Forcén Carvalho, Juan Ignacio; Pagola Barrio, Miguel; Barrenechea Tartas, Edurne; Bustince Sola, Humberto; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa
Spatial pooling is an important step in computer vision systems like Convolutional Neural Networks or the Bag-of-Words method. The spatial pooling purpose is to combine neighbouring descriptors to obtain a single descriptor for a given region (local or global). The resultant combined vector must be as discriminant as possible, in other words, must contain relevant information, while removing irrelevant and confusing details. Maximum and average are the most common aggregation functions used in the pooling step. To improve the aggregation of relevant information without degrading their discriminative power for image classification, we introduce a simple but effective scheme based on Ordered Weighted Average (OWA) aggregation operators. We present a method to learn the weights of the OWA aggregation operator in a Bag-of-Words framework and in Convolutional Neural Networks, and provide an extensive evaluation showing that OWA based pooling outperforms classical aggregation operators.

Paired structures in knowledge representation
(Elsevier, 2016) Montero, Javier; Bustince Sola, Humberto; Pagola Barrio, Miguel; Fernández Fernández, Francisco Javier; Barrenechea Tartas, Edurne; Automática y Computación; Automatika eta Konputazioa
In this position paper we propose a consistent and unifying view to all those basic knowledge representation models that are based on the existence of two somehow opposite fuzzy concepts. A number of these basic models can be found in fuzzy logic and multi-valued logic literature. Here it is claimed that it is the semantic relationship between two paired concepts what determines the emergence of different types of neutrality, namely indeterminacy, ambivalence and conflict, widely used under different frameworks (possibly under different names). It will be shown the potential relevance of paired structures, generated from two paired concepts together with their associated neutrality, all of them to be modeled as fuzzy sets. In this way, paired structures can be viewed as a standard basic model from which different models arise. This unifying view should therefore allow a deeper analysis of the relationships between several existing knowledge representation formalisms, providing a basis from which more expressive models can be later developed.

Extensions of fuzzy sets in image processing: an overview
(EUSFLAT, 2011) Pagola Barrio, Miguel; Barrenechea Tartas, Edurne; Bustince Sola, Humberto; Fernández Fernández, Francisco Javier; Galar Idoate, Mikel; Jurío Munárriz, Aránzazu; López Molina, Carlos; Paternain Dallo, Daniel; Sanz Delgado, José Antonio; Couto, P.; Melo Pinto, P.; Automática y Computación; Automatika eta Konputazioa
This work presents a valuable review for the interested reader of the recent Works using extensions of fuzzy sets in image processing. The chapter is divided as follows: first we recall the basics of the extensions of fuzzy sets, i.e. Type 2 fuzzy sets, interval-valued fuzzy sets and Atanassov’s intuitionistic fuzzy sets. In sequent sections we review the methods proposed for noise removal (sections 3), image enhancement (section 4), edge detection (section 5) and segmentation (section 6). There exist other image segmentation tasks such as video de-interlacing, stereo matching or object representation that are not described in this work.

Image feature extraction using OD-monotone functions
(Springer, 2018) Marco Detchart, Cedric; López Molina, Carlos; Fernández Fernández, Francisco Javier; Pagola Barrio, Miguel; Bustince Sola, Humberto; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas
Edge detection is a basic technique used as a preliminary step for, e.g., object extraction and recognition in image processing. Many of the methods for edge detection can be fit in the breakdown structure by Bezdek, in which one of the key parts is feature extraction. This work presents a method to extract edge features from a grayscale image using the so-called ordered directionally monotone functions. For this purpose we introduce some concepts about directional monotonicity and present two construction methods for feature extraction operators. The proposed technique is competitive with the existing methods in the literature. Furthermore, if we combine the features obtained by different methods using penalty functions, the results are equal or better results than stateof-the-art methods.

New measures for comparing matrices and their application to image processing
(Elsevier, 2018) Sesma Sara, Mikel; Miguel Turullols, Laura de; Pagola Barrio, Miguel; Burusco Juandeaburre, Ana; Mesiar, Radko; Bustince Sola, Humberto; Automatika eta Konputazioa; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Automática y Computación; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa
In this work we present the class of matrix resemblance functions, i.e., functions that measure the difference between two matrices. We present two construction methods and study the properties that matrix resemblance functions satisfy, which suggest that this class of functions is an appropriate tool for comparing images. Hence, we present a comparison method for grayscale images whose result is a new image, which enables to locate the areas where both images are equally similar or dissimilar. Additionally, we propose some applications in which this comparison method can be used, such as defect detection in industrial manufacturing processes and video motion detection and object tracking.
