To make three dimensional measurements using a stereo camera system, the intrinsic and extrinsic calibration of the system should be obtained. Furthermore, to allow zooming, intrinsic parameters should be re-estimated using only scene constraints. In this study both manual and autocalibration algorithms are implemented and tested. The implemented manual calibration system is used to calculate the parameters of the calibration with the help of a planar calibration object. The method is tested on different internal calibration settings and results of 3D measurements using the obtained calibration is presented. Two autocalibration methods have been implemented. The first one requires a general motion while the second method requires a pure rotation of the cameras. The autocalibration methods require point matches between images. To achieve a fully automated process, robust algorithms for point matching have been implemented. For the case of general motion the fundamental matrix relation is used in the matching algorithm. When there is only rotation between views, the homography relation is used. The results of variations on the autocalibration methods are also presented. The result of the manual calibration has been found to be very reliable. The results of the first autocalibration method are not accurate enough but it has been shown that the calibration from rotating cameras performs precise enough if rotation between images is sufficiently large.

Sensitivity and error analysis of a differential rectification method for CCD frame cameras and pushbroom scanners
Bettemir, Önder Halis; Karslıoğlu, Mahmut Onur; Department of Civil Engineering (2006)
In this thesis, sensitivity and error analysis of a differential rectification method were performed by using digital images taken by a frame camera onboard BILSAT and pushbroom scanner on ASTER. Three methods were implemented for Sensitivity and Uncertainty analysis: Monte Carlo, covariance analysis and FAST (Fourier Amplitude Sensitivity Test). A parameter estimation procedure was carried out on the basis of so called Mixed Model extended by some suitable additional regularization parameters to stabilize ...
RECONSTRUCTION OF PERMITTIVITY AND CONDUCTIVITY PROFILES OF A DIELECTRIC SLAB IN THE TIME DOMAIN BY DESCENT METHODS
ONDER, M; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), 1992-10-01)
An optimisation approach is presented for the problem of reconstructing the permittivity and conductivity profiles of a dielectric slab from the reflected and transmitted field data. The problem is treated as an optimal control problem where the norm of the difference of measured and calculated boundary data is minimised subject to the state equation governing the system. The original constrained optimisation problem is reduced to the evaluation of stationary points of an augmented functional which is obtai...
INFRARED REFLECTIVITY SPECTRA OF TLGAS2-TYPE LAYER CRYSTALS
Hasanlı, Nızamı; RAGIMOV, AS; TAGIROV, VI; GUSEINOV, RE (Elsevier BV, 1982-01-01)
Infrared reflectivity spectra of TIGaS2, TIGaSe2 and TlInS2 layer crystals are measured for the polarization directions perpendicular and parallel to the optical c-axis in the spectral range from 20 to 400 cm-1. The optical dispersion parameters are obtained for both polarization directions. Besides, normal coordinates and effective force constants are determined for high-frequency lattice vibrations.
The behaviour of flow in the immediate vicinity of a sloping rectangular channel with free overfall
Kutlu, İhsan; Tiğrek, Şahnaz; Department of Civil Engineering (2005)
The flow characteristics of the subcritical and supercritical flows over a free overfall in a rectangular channel are studied experimentally. A series of experiments were conducted in a tilting flume with a wide range of flow rate. Data collected by several researchers are also included. An empirical relationship, which gives the flow rate as a function of the brink depth, the channel bed slope and the bed roughness are confirmed by using data collected in present study. In addition, the behaviors of the ra...
DIRECTIONAL DEPENDENCE OF EXTRAORDINARY INFRARED OSCILLATOR PARAMETERS OF TLGAS2-TYPE LAYER CRYSTALS
Hasanlı, Nızamı; TAGIROV, VI (Elsevier BV, 1983-01-01)
The directional dispersion of IR-active modes of TlGaS2, TlGaSe2 and TlInS2 layersingle crystals has been investigated, depending on the angle between the phonon wave vector q and the optical c-axis. Owing to the possibility of preparation crystals with various orientations of reflecting surfaces with respect to the optical c-axis, it was of interest to check the applicability of the generalized Born and Huang theory of long-wave optical vibrations in uniaxial crystals to TlGaS2-type layer crystals.
