In this thesis, we focus on approximating indirect illumination on real-time applications to visualize realistic scenes. In order to approximate indirect illumination we provide a fast sparse voxel tree structure for highly dynamic scenes. Our system tries to cover traditional real-time animation methods including dynamic non-deforming objects and objects that deform with bone transformations. The voxel scene data structure is designed for fully dynamic objects and eliminates the voxelization of the dynamic objects per frame which in turn facilitates efficient realistic rendering. We combine this new scene information structure with the widely used real-time rendering techniques and these techniques’ data structures such as shadow mapping and deferred rendering to provide an efficient cone ray-casting algorithm that achieves global illumination in real-time.

Traffic sign recognition for unmanned vehicle control
Havur, Mehmet Bülent; Bulut, Mehmet Mete; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006)
In this thesis, video frames acquired by a camera in a moving car are processed for detection of candidates of triangular, rectangular and circular traffic/road signs based on mainly shape information by performing contour analysis. Color information is utilized as an auxiliary method to improve detection. Then recognition based on template matching is realized on detected traffic/road sign candidates. Detection and recognition results of traffic/road signs in video frames taken in different time intervals ...
Multi-camera video surveillance : detection, occlusion handling, tracking and event recognition
Akman, Oytun; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007)
In this thesis, novel methods for background modeling, tracking, occlusion handling and event recognition via multi-camera configurations are presented. As the initial step, building blocks of typical single camera surveillance systems that are moving object detection, tracking and event recognition, are discussed and various widely accepted methods for these building blocks are tested to asses on their performance. Next, for the multi-camera surveillance systems, background modeling, occlusion handling, tr...
Visual-inertial sensor fusion for 3D urban modeling
Sırtkaya, Salim; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2013)
In this dissertation, a real-time, autonomous and geo-registered approach is presented to tackle the large scale 3D urban modeling problem using a camera and inertial sensors. The proposed approach exploits the special structures of urban areas and visual-inertial sensor fusion. The buildings in urban areas are assumed to have planar facades that are perpendicular to the local level. A sparse 3D point cloud of the imaged scene is obtained from visual feature matches using camera poses estimates, and planar ...
Occlusion-aware 3-D multiple object tracking for visual surveillance
Topçu, Osman; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın; Ercan, Ali Özer; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2013)
This thesis work presents an occlusion-aware particle filter framework for online tracking of multiple people with observations from multiple cameras with overlapping fields of view for surveillance applications. Surveillance problem involves inferring motives of people from their actions, deduced from their trajectories. Visual tracking is required to obtain these trajectories and it is a challenging problem due to motion model variations, size and illumination changes and especially occlusions between mov...
Frequency invariant beamforming and its application to wideband direction of arrival estimation
Babataş, Eren; Candan, Çağatay; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2008)
In this thesis the direction of arrival estimation of wideband signals using frequency invariant beamforming method is examined. The difficulty with the direction of arrival estimation of wideband signals is that it is not possible to obtain a single covariance matrix valid for the whole frequency spectrum of the signal. There are various methods proposed in the literature to overcome this difficulty. The common aim of all the methods is to obtain a composite covariance matrix for the overall band of the si...
