The camera response function determines the relationship between the incident light on the camera sensor and the output pixel values that are produced. For most consumer cameras, this function is proprietary and needs to be estimated to create HDR images that accurately represent the light distribution of the captured scene. Several methods have been proposed in the literature to estimate this unknown mapping using multiple exposures techniques. In this study, we compare three of the most commonly used methods namely Debevec and Malik's [1997], Mitsunaga and Nayar's [1999], and Robertson et al.'s [2003] response curve estimation algorithms in terms of how precisely they estimate an unknown camera response.

A reality check for radiometric camera response recovery algorithms
Akyüz, Ahmet Oğuz (Elsevier BV, 2013-11-01)
The radiometric response of a camera governs the relationship between the incident light on the camera sensor and the output pixel values that are produced. This relationship, which is typically unknown and nonlinear, needs to be estimated for applications that require accurate measurement of scene radiance. Until now, various camera response recovery algorithms have been proposed each with different merits and drawbacks. However, an evaluation study that compares these algorithms has not been presented.

Comparison and evaluation of three dimensional passive source localization techniques
Batuman, Emrah; Tuncer, Temel Engin; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010)
Passive source localization is the estimation of the positions of the sources or emitters given the sensor data. In this thesis, some of the well known methods for passive source localization are investigated and compared in a stationary emitter sensor framework. These algorithms are discussed in detail in two and three dimensions for both single and multiple target cases. Passive source localization methods can be divided into two groups as two-step algorithms and single-step algorithms. Angle-of-Arrival (...
Performance improvement of a 3d reconstruction algorithm using single camera images
Kılıç, Varlık; Platin, Bülent Emre; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2005)
In this study, it is aimed to improve a set of image processing techniques used in a previously developed method for reconstructing 3D parameters of a secondary passive target using single camera images. This 3D reconstruction method was developed and implemented on a setup consisting of a digital camera, a computer, and a positioning unit. Some automatic target recognition techniques were also included in the method. The passive secondary target used is a circle with two internal spots. In order to achieve...
An Analysis for the Correlation of Coverage and Spatial Resolution for Wireless Sensor Networks
Tomur, Emrah; Erten, Y. Murat (2007-12-10)
In this study, we investigate the interactions between coverage and spatial resolution for cluster-based wireless sensor networks (WSN). We present an approximate probabilistic analysis for the mentioned correlation and verify this analysis by simulation. Our analysis includes the k-coverage case.
Smoothing and differentiation of dynamic data
Titrek, Fatih; Tarı, Zehra Sibel; Department of Computer Engineering (2010)
Smoothing is an important part of the pre-processing step in Signal Processing. A signal, which is purified from noise as much as possible, is necessary to achieve our aim. There are many smoothing algorithms which give good result on a stationary data, but these smoothing algorithms don’t give expected result in a non-stationary data. Studying Acceleration data is an effective method to see whether the smoothing is successful or not. The small part of the noise that takes place in the Displacement data wil...
