Biometric recognition and surveillance systems based on visible band imaging cameras encounter a number of limitations such as the effects of lighting conditions and occlusions. As a result, there is an interest in beyond the visible spectrum in this field. Due to their characteristics such as transmission through common barrier materials, use of millimeter and submillimeter wave systems in the field of biometrics have been proposed in order to overcome these difficulties. This paper discusses the possibility of biometric identification of individuals using face images acquired by an active terahertz imaging system operating at 340 GHz. Optical resolution at this frequency is sufficient to provide detailed face images containing characteristic features of individual people. With the ability to penetrate through clothing materials, these characteristics are expected to be preserved in concealed face images, which would allow recognition of individuals through clothing items worn around the face. Here, we examine the effect of the concealment on THz images by comparing face images acquired with and without concealment, in terms of a future face recognition system operating at this frequency.

A continuous object tracking system with stationary and moving camera modes Emeksiz, Deniz; Temizel, Alptekin (2012-09-27) Automatic detection and tracking of objects get more important with the increasing number of surveillance cameras and mobile platforms having cameras. Tracking systems are either designed with stationary camera or designed to work in moving camera. When the camera is stationary, correspondence based tracking with background subtraction has a number of benefits such as enabling automatic detection of new objects in the scene and better tracking accuracy. On the other hand, mean shift is a histogram-based tra...
Object tracking system with seamless object handover between stationary and moving camera modes Emeksiz, Deniz; Temizel, Alptekin; Department of Information Systems (2012) As the number of surveillance cameras and mobile platforms with cameras increases, automated detection and tracking of objects on these systems gain importance. There are various tracking methods designed for stationary or moving cameras. For stationary cameras, correspondence based tracking methods along with background subtraction have various advantages such as enabling detection of object entry and exit in a scene. They also provide robust tracking when the camera is static. However, they fail when the ...
A Reliable and Reversible Image Privacy Protection Based on False Colors ÇİFTÇİ, Serdar; Akyüz, Ahmet Oğuz; Ebrahimi, Touradj (2018-01-01) Protection of visual privacy has become an indispensable component of video surveillance systems due to pervasive use of video cameras for surveillance purposes. In this paper, we propose two fully reversible privacy protection schemes implemented within the JPEG architecture. In both schemes, privacy protection is accomplished by using false colors with the first scheme being adaptable to other privacy protection filters while the second is false color-specific. Both schemes support either a lossless mode ...
An Analysis of 3D surface curvature features for 3D SLAM using Kinect data / Adil, Ömer Faruk; Ulusoy, İlkay; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014) The introduction of affordable and sufficiently accurate range sensors such as TOF cameras, laser scanners and RGBD cameras has significantly contributed to the robotic applications like SLAM. Although range sensors are used extensively and successfully in SLAM applications, there is still room for improvement in the sensor data utilization process. In this thesis a novel approach for the feature extraction part of 3D SLAM is introduced. The use of compact surface curvature features in the SLAM algorithm is...
Improved inspection of TFT LCD panels using on-demand automated optical inspection sub-system Weiss, Adam; Saranlı, Afşar (Taiwan, 2006) In an inspection system for electrical and electro-optical inspection of TFT-LCD panels, a fine resolution area imaging camera with a pulse illumination source disposed to scan the region and operative capture images of the region illuminated with pulses of short illumination and automatically maintained in focus while continuously scanning in order to resolve points of defects.
