In this thesis, real time image rendering for hand held devices is studied according to user’s view point choice and using image frames with corresponding depth maps obtained from 2 different cameras, of which positions on coordinate system is known. User’s view point choice is restricted to the area between right, and left cameras. Occlusion handling methods for image rendering systems is explored and discussed together with frame enhancement techniques. Median filtering is studied for multicolor image frames and post processing methods are discussed for image enhancement at the end of rendering algorithm. In this thesis, OMAP3530 microprocessor is used as the main processor which processes suggested rendering algorithm with occlusion handling and frame enhancement. proposed algorithms are implemented on DSP core and ARM cores of OMAP3530 separately and their performances are evaluated through experiments. Embedded Linux (Kernel-2.6.22) is run as the operating system for applications. Driver usage together with devices for Linux embedded operating system is explored and studied. 3 boards are used for the realization of proposed system. OMAP35x EVM board from Mistral Solutions Company is used for processor utilization, high resolution LCD utilization, system monitoring, user interface and communication purposes. Two daughter cards are designed for user view point determination. First daughter card handles communication process with EVM board and calculates view point according to input from second daughter card with single axis response GYRO sensor (ADIS16060). Spartan®-3A DSP FPGA family is utilized in this system for view point determination. DSP slices that are hardly present inside gate arrays of this FPGA family are utilized and their performance is studied. Asynchronous memory interface, i2c bus interface, SPI interface are studied and implemented on FPGA.

3d object recognition by geometric hashing for robotics applications
Hozatlı, Aykut; Ulusoy, İlkay; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2009)
The main aim of 3D Object recognition is to recognize objects under translation and rotation. Geometric Hashing is one of the methods which represents a rotation and translation invariant approach and provides indexing of structural features of the objects in an efficient way. In this thesis, Geometric Hashing is used to store the geometric relationship between discriminative surface properties which are based on surface curvature. In this thesis surface is represented by shape index and splash where shape ...
Multiview 3d reconstruction of a scene containing independently moving objects
Tola, Engin; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005)
In this thesis, the structure from motion problem for calibrated scenes containing independently moving objects (IMO) has been studied. For this purpose, the overall reconstruction process is partitioned into various stages. The first stage deals with the fundamental problem of estimating structure and motion by using only two views. This process starts with finding some salient features using a sub-pixel version of the Harris corner detector. The features are matched by the help of a similarity and neighbo...
Effect of shadow in building detection and building boundary extraction
Yalçın, Abdurrahman; Ulusoy, İlkay; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2008)
Rectangular-shaped building detection from high resolution aerial/satellite images is proposed for two different methods. Shadow information plays main role in both of these algorithms. One of the algorithms is based on Hough transformation, the other one is based on mean shift segmentation algorithm. Satellite/aerial images are firstly converted to YIQ color space to be used in shadow segmentation. Hue and intensity values are used in computing the ratio image which is used to segment shadowed regions. For...
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...
Real time 3d surface feature extraction on fpga
Tellioğlu, Zafer Haşim; Ulusoy, İlkay; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010)
Three dimensional (3D) surface feature extractions based on mean (H) and Gaussian (K) curvature analysis of range maps, also known as depth maps, is an important tool for machine vision applications such as object detection, registration and recognition. Mean and Gaussian curvature calculation algorithms have already been implemented and examined as software. In this thesis, hardware based digital curvature processors are designed. Two types of real time surface feature extraction and classification hardwar...
