Edge detection is an important step in computer vision since edges are utilized by the successor visual processing stages including many tasks such as motion estimation, stereopsis, shape representation and matching, etc. In this study, we test whether a local consistency measure based on image orientation (which we call Intersection Consistency - IC), which was previously shown to improve detection of junctions, can be used for improving the quality of edge detection of seven different detectors; namely, Canny, Roberts, Prewitt, Sobel, Laplacian of Gaussian (LoG), Intrinsic Dimensionality, Line Segment Detector (LSD). IC works well on images that contain prominent objects which are different in color from their surroundings. IC give good results on natural images that have especially cluttered background. On images involving human made objects, IC leads to good results as well. But, depending on the amount of clutter, the loss of true positives might be more crucial. Through our comprehensive investigation, we show that approximately 21% increase in f-score is obtained whereas some important edges are lost. We conclude from our experiments that IC is suitable for improving the quality of edge detection in some detectors such as Canny, LoG and LSD.

A Comparative evaluation of foreground / background segmentation algorithms
Pakyürek, Muhammet; Akar, Gözde; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2012)
Foreground Background segmentation is a process which separates the stationary objects from the moving objects on the scene. It plays significant role in computer vision applications. In this study, several background foreground segmentation algorithms are analyzed by changing their critical parameters individually to see the sensitivity of the algorithms to some difficulties in background segmentation applications. These difficulties are illumination level, view angles of camera, noise level, and range of ...
A Fast shape detection approach by directional integrations
Okman, Osman Erman; Akar, Gözde; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2013)
Detection and identification of objects from aerial images are important problems for various types of application areas. For many of the man-made structures shape is a fundamental feature by which these objects are separated from the background and other structures. In this thesis, a novel geometric shape detection algorithm based on the spatial properties of structures is proposed. Since the objects are transformed into 1-D vectors by evaluating directional integrals and detections occur by the analysis o...
A Gamut-Mapping Framework for Color-Accurate Reproduction of HDR Images
SİKUDOVA, Elena; POULİ, Tania; ARTUSİ, Alessandro; Akyüz, Ahmet Oğuz; BANTERLE, Francesco; Mazlumoglu, Zeynep Miray; REİNHARD, Erik (2016-07-01)
An integrated gamut- and tone-management framework for color-accurate reproduction of high dynamic range images can prevent hue and luminance shifts while taking gamut boundaries into consideration. The proposed approach is conceptually and computationally simple, parameter-free, and compatible with existing tone-mapping operators.
Fast 3D reconstruction from medical image series based on thresholding method Eşikleme metodunu kullanarak medikal görüntü serisinden hizli 3 boyutlu model oluşturma
Öz, Sinan; Serinağaoğlu Doğrusöz, Yeşim (2010-07-15)
Many practical applications in the field of medical image processing need valid, reliable and fast image segmentation. In this study, we propose a semi-automatic segmentation approach. In this approach, an extended version of the Otsu's method for three level thresholding and a recursive connected component algorithm are combined. The segmentation process is accomplished using Extended Otsu's method and labeling in each consecutive slice. Extended Otsu's method is a thresholding method selecting two thresho...
Image segmentation with Improved region modeling
Ersoy, Ozan; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2004)
Image segmentation is an important research area in digital image processing with several applications in vision-guided autonomous robotics, product quality inspection, medical diagnosis, the analysis of remotely sensed images, etc. The aim of image segmentation can be defined as partitioning an image into homogeneous regions in terms of the features of pixels extracted from the image. Image segmentation methods can be classified into four main categories: 1) clustering methods, 2) region-based methods, 3) ...
