In this study, a modified version of the popular SIFT algorithm is introduced. The algorithm is robust to nonlinear intensity changes between images which makes it a strong candidate for multispectral image registration. The proposed Orientation Restricted SIFT algorithm combines the SIFT descriptor vector elements in opposite directions In this way, better feature matching performance is achieved with shorter descriptor vectors which translate into shorter matching complexity The effect of scale restriction and contrast stretching is demonstrated on multispectral satellite images and scale restriction is found to be useful in eliminating incorrectly matched features.

3D cognitive map construction by active stereo vision in a virtual world
ULUSOY PARNAS, İLKAY; Halıcı, Uğur; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal (2004-10-29)
In this study, a multi-scale phase based disparity algorithm is developed. This algorithm is then applied in a simulated world. In this world there is a virtual robot which has a stereo camera system simulated with the properties similar to human eyes and there are 3D virtual objects having predefined simple shapes. The virtual robot explores its environment intelligently based on some heuristics. Only stereo images rendered from the virtual world are supplied to the robot. The robot extracts depth informat...
Identification of functionally orthologous protein groups in different species based on protein network alignment
Yaveroğlu, Ömer Nebil; Can, Tolga; Department of Computer Engineering (2010)
In this study, an algorithm named ClustOrth is proposed for determining and matching functionally orthologous protein clusters in different species. The algorithm requires protein interaction networks of the organisms to be compared and GO terms of the proteins in these interaction networks as prior information. After determining the functionally related protein groups using the Repeated Random Walks algorithm, the method maps the identified protein groups according to the similarity metric defined. In orde...
Fully-Automatic Target Detection and Tracking for Real-Time, Airborne Imaging Applications
Alkanat, Tunc; Tunali, Emre; Oz, Sinan (2015-03-14)
In this study, an efficient, robust algorithm for automatic target detection and tracking is introduced. Procedure starts with a detection phase. Proposed method uses two alternatives for the detection phase, namely maximally stable extremal regions detector and Canny edge detector. After detection, regions of interest are evaluated and eliminated according to their compactness and effective saliency. The detection process is repeated for a predetermined number of pyramid levels where each level processes a...

Evaluation of the genetic algorithm parameters on the optimization performance: a case study on pump-and-treat remediation design
Gungor-Demirci, Gamze; Aksoy, Ayşegül (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2010-12-01)
In this study, the impacts of different crossover and encoding schemes on the performance of a genetic algorithm (GA) in finding optimal pump-and-treat (P&T) remediation designs are investigated. For this purpose, binary and Gray encodings of the decision variables are tested. Uniform and two-point crossover schemes are evaluated for two different crossover probabilities. Analysis is performed for two P&T system optimization scenarios. Results show that uniform crossover operator with Gray encoding outperfo...
