Video compression is a key technology used in several multimedia applications. Improvements in the compression techniques together with the increasing speed and optimized architecture of the new family processors enable us to use this technology more in real time systems. H.264 (also known as MPEG-4 Part 10 or AVC - Advanced Video Coding), is the latest video coding standard which is noted for achieving very high data compression. While H.264 is superior to its predecessors, it has a very high computational complexity which makes its costly for real time applications. Thus, in order to perform video encoding with satisfactory speed there is an obvious need for reducing the computational complexity. New algorithms were developed for this purpose. The developed algorithms were implemented on Texas Instrument TMS320C64x family to be able to fulfill the requirement in optimized signal processing hardware with low power consumption which arises from the computational complexity and the need for portable devices in video processing technology. With the new algorithms developed, a computation reduction of 55% was achieved without loosing perceptual image quality. Furthermore, the algorithms were implemented on a DSP along with the networking functionality to obtain a video streaming system. The final system may be used in a wide range of fields from surveillance systems to mobile systems.

Advanced readout and control electronics for mems gyroscopes Temiz, Yüksel; Akın, Tayfun; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007) This thesis reports the development of advanced readout and control electronics for MEMS gyroscopes developed at METU. These gyroscope electronics are separated into three main groups: high sensitive interface circuits, drive mode amplitude controlled self oscillation loops, and sense mode phase sensitive amplitude demodulators. The proposed circuits are first implemented with discrete components, and then integrated on CMOS chips. A self oscillation loop enabling constant amplitude drive mode vibrations in...
Dense depth map estimation for object segmentation in multi-view video Çığla, Cevahir; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007) In this thesis, novel approaches for dense depth field estimation and object segmentation from mono, stereo and multiple views are presented. In the first stage, a novel graph-theoretic color segmentation algorithm is proposed, in which the popular Normalized Cuts 59H[6] segmentation algorithm is improved with some modifications on its graph structure. Segmentation is obtained by the recursive partitioning of the weighted graph. The simulation results for the comparison of the proposed segmentation scheme w...
Chaotic demodulation under interference Erdem, Özden; Demirbaş, Kerim; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006) Chaotically modulated signals are used in various engineering areas such as communication systems, signal processing applications, automatic control systems. Because chaotically modulated signal sequences are broadband and noise-like signals, they are used to carry binary signals especially in secure communication systems. In this thesis, a target tracking problem under interference at chaotic communication systems is investigated. Simulating the chaotic communication system, noise-like signal sequences are...
Implementation of a distributed video codec Işık, Cem Vedat; Akar, Gözde; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2008) Current interframe video compression standards such as the MPEG4 and H.264, require a high-complexity encoder for predictive coding to exploit the similarities among successive video frames. This requirement is acceptable for cases where the video sequence to be transmitted is encoded once and decoded many times. However, some emerging applications such as video-based sensor networks, power-aware surveillance and mobile video communication systems require computational complexity to be shifted from encoder ...
Efficient calibration of a multi-camera measurement system using a target with known dynamics Aykın, Murat Deniz; Saranlı, Afşar; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2008) Multi camera measurement systems are widely used to extract information about the 3D configuration or “state” of one or more real world objects. Camera calibration is the process of pre-determining all the remaining optical and geometric parameters of the measurement system which are either static or slowly varying. For a single camera, this consist of the internal parameters of the camera device optics and construction while for a multiple camera system, it also includes the geometric positioning of the in...
