The resolution of the image is one of the main measures of image quality. Higher resolution is desired and often required in most of the applications, because higher resolution means more details in the image. The use of better image sensors and optics is an expensive and also limiting way of increasing pixel density within the image. The use of image processing methods, to obtain a high resolution image from low resolution images is a cheap and effective solution. This kind of image enhancement is called super resolution image reconstruction. This thesis focuses on the definition, implementation and analysis on well-known techniques of super resolution. The comparison and analysis are the main concerns to understand the improvements of the super resolution methods over single frame interpolation techniques. In addition, the comparison also gives us an insight to the practical uses of super resolution methods. As a result of the analysis, the critical examination of the techniques and their performance evaluation are achieved.

Bayesian multi frame super resolution Turgay, Emre; Akar, Gözde; Akar, Nail; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014) This thesis aims at increasing the eﬀective resolution of an image using a set of low resolution images. This process is referred to as super resolution (SR) image reconstruction in the literature. This work proposes maximum a-posteriori (MAP) based iterative reconstruction methods for this problem. The ﬁrst contribution of the thesis is a novel edge preserving SR image reconstruction method. The proposed MAP based estimator uses local gradient direction and amplitude for optimal noise reduction while prese...
An Investigation on hyperspectral image classifiers for remote sensing Özdemir, Okan Bilge; Çetin, Yasemin; Department of Information Systems (2013) Hyperspectral image processing is improved by the capabilities of multispectral image processing with high spectral resolution. In this thesis, we explored hyperspectral classification with Support Vector Machines (SVM), Maximum Likelihood (ML) and KNearest Neighborhood algorithms. We analyzed the effect of training data on classification accuracy. For this purpose, we implemented three different training data selection methods; first N sample selection, randomly N sample selection and uniformly N sample se...
An experimental evaluation of visual similarity for HDR images Aydinlilar, Merve; Akyüz, Ahmet Oğuz; Tarı, Zehra Sibel (2021-07-01) In this paper, we investigate visual similarity for high dynamic range (HDR) images. We collect crowdsourcing data through a web-based experimental interface, in which the participants are asked to choose one of the two candidate images as being more similar to the query image. Triplets forming the query-and-candidates sets are obtained by random sampling from existing HDR data sets. Experimental control factors include choice of tone mapping operator (TMO), choice of distance metric, and choice of image fe...
A comparative evaluation of super – resolution methods on color images Erbay, Fulya; Akar, Gözde; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2011) In this thesis, it is proposed to get the high definition color images by using super – resolution algorithms. Resolution enhancement of RGB, HSV and YIQ color domain images is presented. In this study, three solution methods are presented to improve the resolution of HSV color domain images. These solution methods are suggested to beat the color artifacts on super resolution image and decrease the computational complexity in HSV domain applications. PSNR values are measured and compared with the results of...
On the performance of curvature stabilization time stepping methods for double-diffusive natural convection flows in the presence of magnetic field Cibik, Aytekin; Eroglu, Fatma G.; Kaya Merdan, Songül (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2021-01-01) © 2021, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.This paper considers analytically and numerically the curvature-based stabilization method for double-diffusive natural convection flows in the presence of magnetic field. Unconditionally stable and optimally accurate second-order approximations are obtained. The impact of curvature stabilization on different flow fields are presented for several numerical test problems.
