In this thesis, a novel method for computing disparity maps from a multi-modal stereo-vision system composed of an infrared-visible camera pair is introduced. The method uses mutual information as the basic similarity measure where a segmentation based adaptive windowing mechanism is proposed along with a novel mutual information computation surface for greatly enhancing the results. Besides, the method incorporates joint prior probabilities when computing the cost matrix in addition to negative mutual information measures. A novel adaptive cost aggregation method is also proposed using computed cost confidences and resulting minimum cost disparities that are confident enough are fitted planes in segments. The segments are refined by iteratively splitting and merging according to the fitted confident disparities that helps to reduce the dependence of the disparity computation to the initial segmentation. Finally, all the steps are repeated iteratively where more accurate joint probabilities are calculated by sing previous iteration’s disparity map. Two multi-modal stereo image datasets are generated for evaluating the method and the state of the art methods confronted in literature; the synthetically altered image pairs from the Middlebury Stereo Evaluation Dataset, and our own dataset of Kinect Device infrared- visible camera image pairs, which can function as a benchmark for multi-modal stereo-vision methods. On these datasets, it is presented that (i) the proposed method improves the quality of existing MI formulation, (ii) the proposed method outperforms state of the art methods in literature, and (iii) the proposed method can provide depth comparable to the quality of Kinect depth data.

Multimodal Stereo Vision Using Mutual Information with Adaptive Windowing Yaman, Mustafa; Kalkan, Sinan (2013-05-23) This paper proposes a method for computing disparity maps from a multimodal stereovision system composed of an infrared and a visible camera pair. The method uses mutual information (MI) as the basic similarity measure where a segmentation-based adaptive windowing mechanism is proposed for greatly enhancing the results. On several datasets, we show that (i) our proposal improves the quality of existing MI formulation, and (ii) our method can provide depth comparable to the quality of Kinect depth data.
OBJECT RECOGNITION AND LOCALIZATION WITH ULTRASONIC-SCANNING KIRAGI, H; Ersak, Aydın (1994-04-14) In this paper an object recognition and localization system based on ultrasonic range imaging to be used in optically opaque environments is introduced. The system is especially designed for robotics applications. The ultrasonic image is acquired by scanning ultrasonic transducers in two dimensions above the area where objects are located. The features that are used for recognition and localization processes are extracted from the outermost boundaries of the objects present in the input scene. Experimental ...
Linear Separability Analysis for Stacked Generalization Architecture Ozay, Mete; Vural, Fatos T. Yarman (2009-04-11) Stacked Generalization algorithm aims to increase the individual classification performances of the classifiers by combining the information obtained from various classifiers in a multilayer architecture by either linear or nonlinear techniques. Performance of the algorithm varies depending on the application domains and the space analyses that affect the classification performances could riot be applied successfully.
An iterative adaptive multi-modal stereo-vision method using mutual information Yaman, Mustafa; Kalkan, Sinan (2015-01-01) We propose a method for computing disparity maps from a multi-modal stereo-vision system composed of an infrared-visible camera pair. The method uses mutual information (MI) as the basic similarity measure where a segment-based adaptive windowing mechanism is proposed along with a novel MI computation surface with joint prior probabilities incorporated. The computed cost confidences are aggregated using a novel adaptive cost aggregation method, and the resultant minimum cost disparities in segments are plan...
