Automatic detection of earthquake-damaged buildings using DEMs created from pre- and post-earthquake stereo aerial photographs
Turker, M; Cetinkaya, B (Informa UK Limited, 2005-02-20)
This study presents detection of the collapsed buildings caused by, earthquake,, using digital elevation models (DEMs) created from pre- and post -earthquake stereo aerial photographs. It is based on the idea that changes in the height, of collapsed buildings can be detected. The study was conducted using aerial: photographs taken before (1994) and after (1999) the lzmit earthquake in. Turkey. DEMs were created automatically from both pre- and post-earthquake. aerial photographs at 5m spatial resolution. Th...
Automated Detection of Arbitrarily Shaped Buildings in Complex Environments From Monocular VHR Optical Satellite Imagery
Ok, Ali Ozgun; Senaras, Caglar; Yuksel, Baris (2013-03-01)
This paper introduces a new approach for the automated detection of buildings from monocular very high resolution (VHR) optical satellite images. First, we investigate the shadow evidence to focus on building regions. To do that, we propose a new fuzzy landscape generation approach to model the directional spatial relationship between buildings and their shadows. Once all landscapes are collected, a pruning process is developed to eliminate the landscapes that may occur due to non-building objects. The fina...
Automatic building detection from high resolution satellite images
Koc, D; Turker, M (2005-06-11)
An approach was developed to update the buildings of existing vector database from high resolution satellite images using image classification, Digital Elevation Models (DEM) and object extraction techniques. First, the satellite image is classified using the Maximum Likelihood Classifier (MLC). The classified output provides the shapes and the approximate locations of the buildings. Next, a normalized Digital Surface Model (nDSM) is generated by subtracting the Digital Terrain Model (DTM) from the Digital ...
Automatic Segmentation of High Speed Video Images of Vocal Folds
KOÇ, Turgay; Çiloğlu, Tolga (Hindawi Limited, 2014-01-01)
An automatic method for segmenting glottis in high speed endoscopic video (HSV) images of vocal folds is proposed. The method is based on image histogram modeling. Three fundamental problems in automatic histogram based processing of HSV images, which are automatic localization of vocal folds, deformation of the intensity distribution by nonuniform illumination, and ambiguous segmentation when glottal gap is small, are addressed. The problems are solved by using novel masking, illumination, and reflectance ...
Automated detection of viewer engagement by head motion analysis
Güler, Uğur; Temizel, Alptekin; Department of Information Systems (2015)
Measuring viewer engagement plays a crucial role in education and entertainment. In this study we analyze head motions of the viewers from video streams to automatically determine their engagement level. Due to unavailability of a dataset for such an application, we have built our own dataset. By using face detection system, the head position of viewer is obtained throughout the video for each frame. Then, using these positions, we analyze and extract some features. In order to classify the data, we employ ...
