Error Resilient Coding tools are the methods to avoid or reduce the amount of corruption in video by altering the encoding algorithm. One of them is Flexible Macroblock Ordering (FMO) which provides us with ordering macroblocks of the frames flexibly. Six of them have definite ordering pattern and the last one, called explicit type, can get any order. In this thesis two explicit type algorithms, one of which is new, are explained and the performance of different FMO types in wired and wireless communication are evaluated. The first algorithm separates the important blocks into separate packets, so it equalizes the importance of packets. The proposed method allocates the important macroblocks according to a checkerboard pattern and employs unequal error protection to protect them more. The simulations are performed for wired and wireless communication and Forward Error Correction is used in the second stage of the simulations. Lastly the results of the new algorithms are compared with the performance of the other FMO types. According to the simulations the Proposed algorithm performs better than others when the error rate is very high and FEC is employed.

Image segmentation based on variational techniques Duramaz, Alper; Ünver, Baki Zafer; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006) Recently, solutions to the problem of image segmentation and denoising are developed based on the Mumford-Shah model. The model provides an energy functional, called the Mumford-Shah functional, which should be minimized. Since the minimization of the functional has some difficulties, approximate approaches are proposed. Two such methods are the gradient flows method and the Chan-Vese active contour method. The performance evolution in terms of speed shows that the gradient flows method converges to the bou...
Dim target detection in infrared imagery Çifçi, Barış; Atalay, Aydın; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006) This thesis examines the performance of some dim target detection algorithms in low-SNR imaging scenarios. In the past research, there have been numerous attempts for detection and tracking barely visible targets for military surveillance applications with infrared sensors. In this work, two of these algorithms are analyzed via extensive simulations. In one of these approaches, dynamic programming is exploited to coherently integrate the visible energy of dim targets over possible relative directions, where...
Hierarchical parallelisation strategy for multilevel fast multipole algorithm in computational electromagnetics Ergül, Özgür Salih (Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), 2008-01-03) A hierarchical parallelisation of the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA) for the efficient solution of large-scale problems in computational electromagnetics is presented. The tree structure of MLFMA is distributed among the processors by partitioning both the clusters and the samples of the fields appropriately for each level. The parallelisation efficiency is significantly improved compared to previous approaches, where only the clusters or only the fields are partitioned in a level.
FPGA implementation of graph cut method for real time stereo matching Sağlık Özsaraç, Havva; Ünver, Baki Zafer; Ulusoy, İlkay; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010) The present graph cut methods cannot be used directly for real time stereo matching applications because of their recursive structure. Graph cut method is modified to change its recursive structure so that making it suitable for real time FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) implementation. The modified method is firstly tested by MATLAB on several data sets, and the results are compared with those of previous studies. Although the disparity results of the modified method are not better than other methods’,...
Dynamic system modeling and state estimation for speech signal Özbek, İbrahim Yücel; Demirekler, Mübeccel; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010) This thesis presents an all-inclusive framework on how the current formant tracking and audio (and/or visual)-to-articulatory inversion algorithms can be improved. The possible improvements are summarized as follows: The first part of the thesis investigates the problem of the formant frequency estimation when the number of formants to be estimated fixed or variable respectively. The fixed number of formant tracking method is based on the assumption that the number of formant frequencies is fixed along the ...
