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 hardware are developed which perform mean and Gaussian curvature analysis at different scale levels. The techniques use different gradient approximations. A fast square root algorithm using both LUT (look up table) and linear fitting technique is developed to calculate H and K values of the surface described by the 3D Range Map formed by fixed point numbers. The proposed methods are simulated in MatLab software and implemented on different FPGAs using VHDL hardware language. Calculation times, outputs and power analysis of these techniques are compared to CPU based 64 bit float data type calculations.

Real time electromagnetic target classification using a novel feature extraction technique with PCA-based fusion Sayan, Gönül (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2005-02-01) This paper introduces an efficient technique to design an electromagnetic target classifier whose reference database is constructed using scattered data at only a few aspects. The suggested technique combines a natural-resonance related feature extraction process with a novel, multiaspect feature fusion scheme. First, moderately aspect-variant late-time features are extracted from scattered field of a given candidate target at several different reference aspects using the Wigner transformation to characteri...
Real time color based object tracking Özzaman, Gökhan; Erkmen, İsmet; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005) A method for real time tracking of non-rigid arbitrary objects is proposed in this study. The approach builds on and extends work on multidimensional color histogram based target representation, which is enhanced by spatial masking with a monotonically decreasing kernel profile prior to back-projection. The masking suppresses the influence of the background pixels and induces a spatially smooth target model representation suitable for gradient-based optimization. The main idea behind this approach is that a...
Magnetic resonance current density imaging using one component of magnetic flux density Ersöz, Ali; Eyüboğlu, Behçet Murat; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010) Magnetic Resonance Electrical Impedance Tomography (MREIT) algorithms using current density distribution have been proposed in the literature. The current density distribution can be determined by using Magnetic Resonance Current Density Imaging (MRCDI) technique. In MRCDI technique, all three components of magnetic flux density should be measured. Hence, object should be rotated inside the magnet which is not trivial even for small size objects and remains as a strong limitation to clinical applicability o...
3D object recognition from range images using transform invariant object representation AKAGÜNDÜZ, erdem; Ulusoy, İlkay (Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), 2010-10-28) 3D object recognition is performed using a scale and orientation invariant feature extraction method and a scale and orientation invariant topological representation. 3D surfaces are represented by sparse, repeatable, informative and semantically meaningful 3D surface structures, which are called multiscale features. These features are extracted with their scale (metric size and resolution) using the classified scale-space of 3D surface curvatures. Triplets of these features are used to represent the surfac...
High performance readout electronics for uncooled infrared detector arrays Yıldırım, Ömer Özgür; Akın, Tayfun; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006) This thesis reports the development of high performance readout electronics for resistive microbolometer detector arrays that are used for uncooled infrared imaging. Three different readout chips are designed and fabricated by using a standard 0.6 m CMOS process. Fabricated chips include a conventional capacitive transimpedance amplifier (CTIA) type readout circuit, a novel readout circuit with dynamic resistance nonuniformity compensation capability, and a new improved version of the CTIA circuit. The fabr...
