In aerial images, the performance of the segmentation and object recognition algorithms could suffer due to shadows in the scene. This effort describes a novel shadow restoration algorithm based on atmospheric effects and characteristics of sun light for aerial images. Firstly, shadow regions are detected exploiting the Rayleigh scattering phenomena and the well-known fact related to the low illumination intensity in the shadow regions. After detection, shadow restoration is achieved by first restoring partially occluded shadow areas, as a result of modeling these transition regions with a continuous function that considers shadow formations. Next, fully occluded shadow regions are restored by first segmenting the image into multiple uniformly illuminated regions, then multiplying the intensity values in these regions with a constant, which is determined by the ratio of intensities between each segment and its non-shadow neighborhood. The simulation results indicate improvements over similar work fro the literature.

A Graph-Based Approach for Video Scene Detection Sakarya, Ufuk; Telatar, Zjya (2008-04-22) In this paper, a graph-based method for video scene detection is proposed. The method is based on a weighted undirected graph. Each shot is a vertex on the graph. Edge weights among the vertices are evaluated by using spatial and temporal similarities of shots. By using the complete information of the graph, a set of the vertices mostly similar to each other and dissimilar to the others is detected. Temporal continuity constraint is achieved on this set. This set is the first detected video scene. The verti...
A pixel-by-pixel learned lossless image compression method with parallel decoding Gümüş, Sinem; Kamışlı, Fatih; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2022-7) The success of deep learning in computer vision applications has led to the use of learning based algorithms also in image compression. Learning based lossless image compression algorithms can be divided into three categories, namely, pixel-by-pixel (or masked convolution based) algorithms, prior based algorithms and latent representation based algorithms. In the pixel-by-pixel algorithms, each pixel’s probability distribution is obtained by processing the previously coded left and upper neighbouring pixels...
A Novel Method to Detect Shadows on Multispectral Images Sevim, Hazan Daglayan; Çetin, Yasemin; Baskurt, Didem Ozisik (2016-09-28) Shadowing occurs when the direct light coming from a light source is obstructed by high human made structures, mountains or clouds. Since shadow regions are illuminated only by scattered light, true spectral properties of the objects are not observed in such regions. Therefore, many object classification and change detection problems utilize shadow detection as a preprocessing step. Besides, shadows are useful for obtaining 3D information of the objects such as estimating the height of buildings. With perva...
An embedding technique to determine tau tau backgrounds in proton-proton collision data Sirunyan, A. M.; et. al. (IOP Publishing, 2019-06-01) An embedding technique is presented to estimate standard model ττ backgrounds from data with minimal simulation input. In the data, the muons are removed from reconstructed μμ events and replaced with simulated tau leptons with the same kinematic properties. In this way, a set of hybrid events is obtained that does not rely on simulation except for the decay of the tau leptons. The challenges in describing the underlying event or the production of associated jets in the simulation are avoided. The technique...
A Gamut-Mapping Framework for Color-Accurate Reproduction of HDR Images SİKUDOVA, Elena; POULİ, Tania; ARTUSİ, Alessandro; Akyüz, Ahmet Oğuz; BANTERLE, Francesco; Mazlumoglu, Zeynep Miray; REİNHARD, Erik (2016-07-01) An integrated gamut- and tone-management framework for color-accurate reproduction of high dynamic range images can prevent hue and luminance shifts while taking gamut boundaries into consideration. The proposed approach is conceptually and computationally simple, parameter-free, and compatible with existing tone-mapping operators.
