Digital image watermarking has gained a great interest in the last decade among researchers. Having such a great community which provide a continuously growing list of proposed algorithms, it is rapidly finding solutions to its problems. However, still we are far away from being successful. Therefore, more and more people are entering the field to make the watermarking idea useful and reliable for digital world. Of these various watermarking algorithms, some outperform others in terms of basic watermarking requirements like robustness, invisibility, processing cost, etc. In this thesis, we study the performances of different watermarking algorithms in terms of robustness. Algorithms are chosen to be representatives of different categories such as spatial and transform domain. We evaluate the performance of a selected set of 9 different methods from the watermarking literature against again a selected set of attacks and distortions and try to figure out the properties of the methods that make them vulnerable or invulnerable against these attacks.

A Review and Roadmap of Online Learning Platforms and Tutorials in Digital Archaeology Daems, Drıes (2020-02-01) Overview With an ever-growing range of computational tools and applications now available for archaeological practice, the potential of digital archaeology is greater than ever before. Yet, archaeological curricula have not always followed suit, and many archaeologists are not up-to-date with the necessary digital skills. To fill this gap, online tutorials and learning platforms are being developed to familiarize archaeologists and students with the potential of digital media for archaeological research pra...
Watermarking of Free-view Video Koz, Alper; Cigla, Cevahir; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2010-07-01) With the advances in image based rendering (IBR) in recent years, generation of a realistic arbitrary view of a scene from a number of original views has become cheaper and faster. One of the main applications of this progress has emerged as free-view TV(FTV), where TV-viewers select freely the viewing position and angle via IBR on the transmitted multiview video. Noting that the TV-viewer might record a personal video for this arbitrarily selected view and misuse this content, it is apparent that copyright...
3D face reconstruction using stereo images and structured light Öztürk, Ahmet Oğuz; Halıcı, Uğur; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007) Nowadays, 3D modelling of objects from multiple images is a topic that has gained great recognition and is widely used in various fields. Recently, lots of progress has been made in identification of people using 3D face models, which are usually reconstructed from multiple face images. In this thesis, a system including stereo cameras and structured light is built for the purpose of 3D modelling. The system outputs are 3D shapes of the face and also the texture information registered to this shape. Althoug...
Fuzzy spatial data cube construction and its use in association rule mining Işık, Narin; Yazıcı, Adnan; Department of Computer Engineering (2005) The popularity of spatial databases increases since the amount of the spatial data that need to be handled has increased by the use of digital maps, images from satellites, video cameras, medical equipment, sensor networks, etc. Spatial data are difficult to examine and extract interesting knowledge; hence, applications that assist decision-making about spatial data like weather forecasting, traffic supervision, mobile communication, etc. have been introduced. In this thesis, more natural and precise knowle...
MICRO-SCANNING MIRRORS AND LENSES FOR IMPROVING IMAGE RESOLUTION Sözak, Ahmet; Azgın, Kıvanç; Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (2022-5-18) Enhancement of image resolution has been one of the main interests in optical research for many years. In this context, many different methods have been developed. While some of these methods found use in the field, some remained at the level of laboratory demonstration. There have been numerous approaches to reduce the pixel size of staring focal plane array detectors since 1980, and the number of pixel on unit area and resolution are increased since then. However, the difficulty at the fabrication of smal...
