Demand of obtaining better quality image is becoming very important topic in television market. Since many content providers still broadcast videos in SD or HD resolution, upscaling input video to display it on FHD or UHD television with better quality is the key point of image quality. Because basic interpolation algorithms do not satisfy this demand, super resolution algorithms are needed to obtain better quality output video. Therefore, many chip providers claim that their chip supports super resolution algorithms. Throughout this thesis, single-frame and multi-frame super resolution algorithms’ performance and complexity will be investigated to find an optimal algorithm which is able to run on Linux televisions in real-time. Moreover, effect of the motion estimation on multi-frame super resolution algorithms will be investigated. As a second contribution of this thesis, mmrgLibrary will be presented. This image processing library is developed in order to unify all the third party libraries into one library and in order to implement customize algorithms. This library is cross-platform API which can be executed on ARM platforms, X86 platforms or any platforms if the toolchain of this platform is provided.

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 prese...
Superpixel based efficient image representation for segmentation and classification

The wide availability of visual capture and display devices with increasing resolution and a ordable prices, made the visual data an indispensable part of our life. The enormous amount of visual data produced every day is captured, stored and sometimes processed for further analysis. In this era of technological improvement, where an exponential increase in the number and capability of the devices is experienced, researchers have focused on e cient and accurate ways to reach, store, analyse and display the ...
Application of particle swarm optimization algorithm in allocating cloud resources for video on demand
Aygün, Betül; Günel Kılıç, Banu; Coşar, Ahmet; Department of Information Systems (2018)
Video streaming services whether on demand or live has become one of the most popular services used recently. However, investments made for these type of applications cause a very serious financial problem just because video type of multimedia data needs more real time storage and high data transfer than other type of multimedia data. Furthermore, for the video streaming applications, significant amount of system resource in computing is required. To tackle this problem, cloud computing emerges as a preferr...
FPGA implementation of real time digital video super resolution for infrared cameras
Aktukmak, Mehmet; Halıcı, Uğur; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2013)
At present, the quality of image taken from infrared cameras is low compared to the other cameras because of manufacturing technology. So, resolution enhancement processes are becoming more important for these cameras. Super resolution is a good approach to solve this resolution problem. In general, the systems that infrared cameras used require video processing to perform in real time. So, a suitable approach should be selected and implemented to work in real time. The computational load and processing tim...
Audio event detection on tv broadcast
Ozan, Ezgi Can; Çiloğlu, Tolga; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2011)
The availability of digital media has grown tremendously with the fast-paced ever-growing storage and communication technologies. As a result, today, we are facing a problem in indexing and browsing the huge amounts of multimedia data. This amount of data is impossible to be indexed or browsed by hand so automatic indexing and browsing systems are proposed. Audio Event Detection is a research area which tries to analyse the audio data in a semantic and perceptual manner, to bring a conceptual solution to th...
