Recently, near-field ultra-wideband radar imaging algorithms have an important place in short range imaging applications by providing high resolution in both range and cross-range. In this study, the near-field ultra-wideband radar imaging algorithms in the literature such as Holographic Image Reconstruction Algorithm, Range Migration Algorithm, MIMO Based Range Migration Algorithm and MIMO Based Kirchhoff Migration Algorithm have been implemented using MATLAB. The algorithms are applied to modeled transmitter/receiver antenna arrays and discrete scatterers are used as targets. The algorithms are implemented in the frequency domain. Images obtained by different algorithms are given and compared to each other to assess the performance of the applied algorithms. Important parameters of each algorithm are specified and their effects on the result are investigated. The algorithms are also implemented in millimeter-wave band which is safe for humans (non-ionizing) and allows detection of objects concealed under clothing.

Absorbance Estimation and Gas Emissions Detection in Hyperspectral Imagery
Başkurt, Nur Didem; Gur, Yusuf; Omruuzun, Fatih; Çetin, Yasemin (2016-05-19)
Hyperspectral imaging in gas detection applications is a leading and widely studied research topic thanks to its high spectral resolution and remote detection ability. The main problems in these applications covers the leakage detection, gas identification, and quantification. The proposed algorithm aims to reach the transmittance and absorbance features of the gas and to detect the gaseous region by using the measured radiance data from the hyperspectral infrared sensors.
Automated building detection from satellite images by using shadow information as an object invariant
Yüksel, Barış; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay; Department of Computer Engineering (2012)
Apart from classical pattern recognition techniques applied for automated building detection in satellite images, a robust building detection methodology is proposed, where self-supervision data can be automatically extracted from the image by using shadow and its direction as an invariant for building object. In this methodology; first the vegetation, water and shadow regions are detected from a given satellite image and local directional fuzzy landscapes representing the existence of building are generate...
Deep convolutional neural networks for airport detection in remote sensing images
Budak, Umit; Sengur, Abdulkadir; Halıcı, Uğur (2018-05-05)
This study investigated the use of deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) in providing a solution for the problem of airport detection in remote sensing images (RSIs). In recent years, Deep CNNs have gained much attention with numerous applications having been undertaken in the area of computer vision. Researchers generally approach airport detection as a pattern recognition problem, in which first various distinctive features are extracted, and then a classifier is adopted to detect airports. CNNs not o...
Image fusion for improving spatial resolution of multispectral satellite images
Ünlüsoy, Deniz; Süzen, Mehmet Lütfi; Department of Geological Engineering (2013)
In this study, four different image fusion techniques have been applied to high spectral and low spatial resolution satellite images with high spatial and low spectral resolution images to obtain fused images with increased spatial resolution, while preserving spectral information as much as possible. These techniques are intensity-hue-saturation (IHS) transform, principle component analysis (PCA), Brovey transform (BT), and Wavelet transform (WT) image fusion. Images used in the study belong to Çankırı reg...
