• Derivatives and inverse of cascaded linear + nonlinear neural models

  Martínez García, Marina; Cyriac, Praveen; Batard, Thomas; Bertalmío, Marcelo; Malo, Jesús (Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2018)

  In vision science, cascades of Linear+Nonlinear transforms are very successful in modeling a number of perceptual experiences. However, the conventional literature is usually too focused on only describing the forward ...
• A geometric model of brightness perception and its application to color images correction

  Batard, Thomas; Bertalmío, Marcelo (Springer, 2018)

  Human perception involves many features like contours, shapes, textures, and colors to name a few. Whereas several geometric models for contours, shapes and textures perception have been proposed, the geometry of color ...
• Statistics of natural images as a function of dynamic range

  Grimaldi, Antoine Vincent; Kane, David; Bertalmío, Marcelo (Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO), 2019)

  The statistics of real world images have been extensively investigated, but in virtually all cases using only low dynamic range image databases. The few studies that have considered high dynamic range (HDR) images ...
• In praise of artifice reloaded: caution with natural image databases in modeling vision

  Martínez García, Marina; Bertalmío, Marcelo; Malo, Jesús (Frontiers, 2019)

  Subjective image quality databases are a major source of raw data on how the visual system works in naturalistic environments. These databases describe the sensitivity of many observers to a wide range of distortions of ...
• Fully automatic 3D reconstruction of the placenta and its peripheral vasculature in intrauterine fetal MRI

  Torrents-Barrena, Jordina; Piella Fenoy, Gemma; Masoller, Narcís; Gratacós Solsona, Eduard; Eixarch, Elisenda; Ceresa, Mario; González Ballester, Miguel Ángel, 1973- (Elsevier, 2019)

  Recent advances in fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) open the door to improved detection and characterization of fetal and placental abnormalities. Since interpreting MRI data can be complex and ambiguous, there is a ...
• Target wake time: scheduled access in IEEE 802.11ax WLANs

  Nurchis, Maddalena; Bellalta, Boris (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2019)

  The increasing interest in ubiquitous networking, and the tremendous popularity gained by IEEE 802.11 WLANs in recent years, is leading to very dense deployments where high levels of channel contention may prevent meeting ...
