Segmenting images with occluded and missing intensity information is still a difficult task. Intensity based segmentation approaches often lead to wrong results. High vision prior information such as prior shape has been proven to be effective in solving this problem. Most existing shape prior approaches assume known prior shape and segmentation results rely on the selection of prior shape. In this paper, we study how to do simultaneous automatic prior shape selection and segmentation in a variational scheme.

Automatic relevance determination for the estimation of relevant features for object recognition
Ulusoy, İlkay (2006-01-01)
Object recognition from 2D images is a highly interesting problem. The final goal is to have a system which can recognize thousands of different categories like human beings do. However, hand labelling the 2D training images in order to segment the foreground (object) from the background is a very tedious job. Because of this reason, in recent years, intelligent systems which can learn object categories from unlabelled image sets have been introduced. In this case, an image is labelled by the objects which ...
AN INTERFEROMETRIC TECHNIQUE FOR MEASURING MICRON LEVEL CLEARANCES FILLED WITH A LUBRICANT
Yildirim, Murat; Dursunkaya, Zafer; Okutucu Özyurt, Hanife Tuba (2010-10-20)
The aim of this study is to develop an interferometric technique to measure micron level clearances occurring in small piston-cylinder arrangements; such as hermetically sealed compressors. A Cartesian model of the piston cylinder arrangement is manufactured and lateral and vertical motions are generated via a step motor, and micrometers, respectively, to simulate the piston motion and the change of clearance during the motion. Experiments are conducted in air and a lubricant. Measurements show the importan...
Gibbs Sampling in Inference of Copula Gaussian Graphical Model Adapted to Biological Networks
Purutçuoğlu Gazi, Vilda (2017-09-01)
Markov chain Monte Carlo methods (MCMC) are iterative algorithms that are used in many Bayesian simulation studies, where the inference cannot be easily obtained directly through the defined model. Reversible jump MCMC methods belong to a special type of MCMC methods, in which the dimension of parameters can change in each iteration. In this study, we suggest Gibbs sampling in place of RJMCMC, to decrease the computational demand of the calculation of high dimensional systems. We evaluate the performance of...

SUPER-RESOLUTION RECONSTRUCTION OF HYPERSPECTRAL IMAGES VIA AN IMPROVED MAP-BASED APPROACH
Irmak, Hasan; Akar, Gözde; Yuksel, Seniha Esen; Aytaylan, Hakan (2016-07-15)
Super-resolution Reconstruction (SRR) is technique to increase the spatial resolution of images. It is especially useful for hyperspectral images (HSI), which have good spectral resolution but low spatial resolution. In this study, we propose an improvement to our previous work and present a novel MAP-MRF (maximum a posteriori-Markov random Fields) based approach for the SRR of HSI. The key point of our approach is to find the abundance maps of an HSI and perform SRR on the abundance maps using MRF based en...
