Increasing trend in the usage of translucent television logos by broadcast channels renders opaque logo detection algorithms inadequate. Important applications such as identification of broadcast types make the detection of translucent logos a significant requirement. This paper presents a method for detecting translucent television logos in video streams. Firstly, boundary information of the logo, which will be searched in broadcast stream, is extracted manually. This search is carried out by comparing the edge map of the luminance channel of the interest region with inner and outer contours of the logo using different metrics. Performance is increased by utilization of temporal redundancies and solutions to special problematic cases. Furthermore, traces of the logo boundaries are examined in chrominance channels of video frames in order to eliminate false alarms caused by opaque logos with the same boundaries. Promising results indicate the applicability of the method in real life.

REGION-BASED IMAGE SEGMENTATION VIA GRAPH CUTS Cigla, Cevahir; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (2008-01-01) A graph theoretic color image segmentation algorithm is proposed, in which the popular normalized cuts image segmentation method is improved with modifications on its graph structure. The image is represented by a weighted undirected graph, whose nodes correspond to over-segmented regions, instead of pixels, that decreases the complexity of the overall algorithm. In addition, the link weights between the nodes are calculated through the intensity similarities of the neighboring regions. The irregular distri...
Noise reduction using anisotropic diffusion filter in inverse electrocardiology. Gavgani, Alireza Mazloumi; Serinağaoğlu Doğrusöz, Yeşim (2012-01-01) Filtering has been widely used in biomedical signal processing and image processing applications to cancel noise effects in signals recorded from the body. However, it is important to keep the desired characteristics of the physiological signal of interest while suppressing the noise characteristics. In this study, we used anisotropic diffusion filter (ADF) to cancel the noise on the body surface potentials measurements (BSPM) with the goal of improving the corresponding solutions of the inverse problem of ...
CHANGE DETECTION FOR HYPERSPECTRAL IMAGES USING EXTENDED MUTUAL INFORMATION AND OVERSEGMENTATION TASKESEN, BAHAR; KOZ, ALPER; Weatherbee, Oliver; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (2018-09-23) We propose a change detection algorithm for hyperspectral images by properly extending the description of commonly used mutual information metric in monochrome images to hyperspectral images. The newly extended metric for the additional spectral dimension in hyperspectral images accumulates the effects of all spectral hands to the statistical relation between the pixels of the two images at the same location. In order to avoid blurring kind of distortions in the change maps resulting from the usage of fixed...
Temperature-dependent thermoelastic properties of GaSb and InSb semiconductors: Identification through ab initio DFT simulations Baloğlu, Eyüp Can; Toffoli, Hande; Dal, Hüsnü (2022-10-15) © 2022 Elsevier B.V.III–V semiconductors are extensively used in infrared sensor applications due to their superior structural and optical properties. Due to the extremes in the manufacturing and operating temperatures of the sensors, the knowledge of temperature-dependent elastic constants of these materials is of great importance. However, reliable measurements across a large range of temperatures prove difficult due to limitations of experimental setups. Density functional theory calculations present an ...
OPTIMIZATION OF ENCODING AND ERROR PROTECTION PARAMETERS FOR 3D VIDEO BROADCAST OVER DVB-H Aksay, Anil; Bugdayci, Done; Akar, Gözde (2011-05-18) In this study, we propose a heuristic methodology for modeling the end-to-end distortion characteristics of an error resilient broadcast system for 3D video overDigital Video Broadcasting -Handheld (DVB-H). We also use this model to optimally select the parameters of the video encoder and the error correction scheme, namely, Multi Protocol Encapsulation Forward Error Correction (MPE-FEC), minimizing the overall distortion. The proposed method models the RQ curve of video encoder and performance of channel c...
