This thesis aims at increasing the effective resolution of an image using a set of low resolution images. This process is referred to as super resolution (SR) image reconstruction in the literature. This work proposes maximum a-posteriori (MAP) based iterative reconstruction methods for this problem. The first contribution of the thesis is a novel edge preserving SR image reconstruction method. The proposed MAP based estimator uses local gradient direction and amplitude for optimal noise reduction while preserving edges. The second contribution of the thesis is a novel texture prior for maximum a posteriori (MAP) based super resolution (SR) image reconstruction. The prior is based on a multiscale compound Markov Random Field (MRF) model. Gabor filters are utilized for subband decomposition. Each subband is modeled by a compound MRF that inherits a binary texture process. The texture process at each pixel location at each subband is estimated iteratively along with the unknown high-resolution image pixels. Finally, a two stage SR method comprising a Bayesian reconstruction step followed by a restoration step is proposed. In the first stage, two MAP based SR estimators with different regularizations are employed. In the second stage, pixel-to-pixel difference between these two estimates is post-processed to restore edges and textures while eliminating noise. Experiments on synthetically generated images and real experiments on visual CCD cameras and thermal cameras demonstrate that the proposed methods are more favorable compared to state-of-the-art SR methods especially on textures and edges.

An Investigation on hyperspectral image classifiers for remote sensing
Özdemir, Okan Bilge; Çetin, Yasemin; Department of Information Systems (2013)
Hyperspectral image processing is improved by the capabilities of multispectral image processing with high spectral resolution. In this thesis, we explored hyperspectral classification with Support Vector Machines (SVM), Maximum Likelihood (ML) and KNearest Neighborhood algorithms. We analyzed the effect of training data on classification accuracy. For this purpose, we implemented three different training data selection methods; first N sample selection, randomly N sample selection and uniformly N sample se...
SUPER-RESOLUTION RECONSTRUCTION OF HYPERSPECTRAL IMAGES VIA AN IMPROVED MAP-BASED APPROACH
Irmak, Hasan; Akar, Gözde; Yuksel, Seniha Esen; Aytaylan, Hakan (2016-07-15)
Super-resolution Reconstruction (SRR) is technique to increase the spatial resolution of images. It is especially useful for hyperspectral images (HSI), which have good spectral resolution but low spatial resolution. In this study, we propose an improvement to our previous work and present a novel MAP-MRF (maximum a posteriori-Markov random Fields) based approach for the SRR of HSI. The key point of our approach is to find the abundance maps of an HSI and perform SRR on the abundance maps using MRF based en...
Privacy protection of tone-mapped HDR images using false colours
ÇİFTÇİ, Serdar; Akyüz, Ahmet Oğuz; PİNHEİRO, Antonio M. G.; Ebrahimi, Touradj (2017-12-01)
High dynamic range (HDR) imaging has been developed for improved visual representation by capturing a wide range of luminance values. Owing to its properties, HDR content might lead to a larger privacy intrusion, requiring new methods for privacy protection. Previously, false colours were proved to be effective for assuring privacy protection for low dynamic range (LDR) images. In this work, the reliability of false colours when used for privacy protection of HDR images represented by tone-mapping operators...
Cognitive aspects of image zooming
Öncül, Gaye; Tarı, Sibel; Tekman, Hasan Gürkan; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2002)
In this work, digital image zooming methods and image distortion metrics are examined in terms of a quality criterion based on image appearance. Neurophysiological and psychophysical foundations of perception driven image distortion metrics are presented. Results of a comparative study based on both perceptual distortion metrics and conventional distortion metrics for standard zooming methods are discussed. Open problems in image quality definition as well as image enlargement methods are presented and impr...
Image resolution enhancement using wavelet domain Hidden Markov Tree and coefficient sign estimation
Temizel, Alptekin (2007-01-01)
Image resolution enhancement using wavelets is a relatively new subject and many new algorithms have been proposed recently. These algorithms assume that the low resolution image is the approximation subband of a higher resolution image and attempts to estimate the unknown detail coefficients to reconstruct a high resolution image. A subset of these recent approaches utilized probabilistic models to estimate these unknown coefficients. Particularly, hidden Markov tree (HMT) based methods using Gaussian mixt...
