Hyperspectral (HS) imagery consists of hundred of narrow contiguous bands extending beyond the visible spectrum. It is a three dimensional data cube with two dimensionalspatialinformationandaspectraldimension. Despitehavinghighspectral resolution, HS images have lower spatial resolution due to technological restrictions. ThisdegradestheperformanceinHSimagingapplications. Therefore,increasingthe resolution is a necessity, however the problem is an ill-posed problem. In this thesis, weaddressthisproblem,namelysuper-resolutionreconstruction(SRR)ofHSimages from different perspectives and propose robust solutions. First method proposes a maximum a posteriori (MAP) based SRR technique for HS images when there is only one HS image and no other source of information. The novelty of the method is converting ill-posed SRR problem in spectral domain to a quadratic optimization problem in abundance map domain. Using smoothness prior and inherent properties of abundance maps in the quadratic optimization, a unique solutionisobtained. Moreover,inordertoavoidoversmoothing,apostprocessingis appliedtopreservetexturesintheabundancemaps. Finally,highresolution(HR)HS imageisreconstructedusingtheextractedendmembersandtheenhancedabundances. v Second proposed method is a fusion based SRR method. This method enhances the spatial resolution of HS image by fusing with a coinciding HR RGB or multispectral (MS) image. Again, fusion problem is converted to a quadratic optimization problem in the abundance map domain. Moreover, proposed MAP based approach is also merged into the quadratic equation. That is, this method is a superposition of MAP based and fusion based approaches and closing the gaps of the both methods. Superposition of two methods leads to more robust and efficient SRR method. Similarly, after solving quadratic problem, HR HS image reconstructed from HR abundance maps and endmember signatures. Experiments are implemented on real HS datasets and compared to state-of-the-art alternativemethodsusingdifferentquantitativeimagemetrics. Spectralconsistency,a criticalissueforHSimages,isalsoanalysedintheexperiments. Resultsdemonstrate that proposed methods perform better than competitors based on quantitative metrics while keeping spectral consistency.

Spectral signature-based methods which form the mainstream in hyperspectral target detection can be classified mainly into three categories. These are the background modeling methods, subspace projection based methods, and hybrid methods that combine linear unmixing with abundance estimation. A common characteristic of all these methods is to classify each pixel of the hyperspectral image as a target or background while ignoring the spatial relations between neighboring pixels. Integration of contextual inf...
Effects of atmospheric correction on vehicle classification with single and dual band infrared images
Özsaraç, Seçkin; Akar, Gözde; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014)
A vehicle classification system, which uses features based on radiometry, is developed for both single band and dual band infrared (IR) image sequences. For classification using dual band sequences, the process is divided into six components. These are registration, fusion, moving vehicle detection, geometry estimation, atmospheric effects removal, and classification. In the single band case, registration and fusion steps are not used. The first major novelty of the thesis is an atmospheric correction, i.e....
Effect of different sparsity priors on compressive photon-sieve spectral imaging

Compressive spectral imaging is a rapidly growing area yielding higher performance novel spectral imagers than conventional ones. Inspired by compressed sensing theory, compressive spectral imagers aim to reconstruct the spectral images from compressive measurements using sparse signal recovery algorithms. In this paper, first, the image formation model and a sparsity-based reconstruction approach are presented for compressive photon-sieve spectral imager. Then the reconstruction performance of the approach...
Photoluminescence specroscopy of CdS and GaSe
Seyhan, Ayşe; Turan, Raşit; Department of Physics (2003)
With the use of photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy one can able to get a great deal of information about electronic structure and optical processes in semiconductors by the aid of optical characterization. Among various compound semiconductors, Cadmium Sulfide (CdS) and Gallium Selenide (GaSe) are interesting materials for their PL emissions. Particularly, due to its strong anisotropy, investigation of GaSe necessitates new experimental approaches to the PL technique. We have designed, fabricated and used ...
A perceptual shape descriptor
Arica, N; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay (2002-08-15)
In this study, we present the two dimensional object silhouette by a one dimensional descriptor, which,preserves the perceptual structure of its shape. The proposed descriptor is based on the moments of the angles between the bearings of a point on the boundary, in a set of neighborhood systems. At each point on the boundary, the angle between a pair of bearings is calculated to extract the topological information of the boundary in a given locality. The proposed method does not use any-heuristic rule or em...
