A novel multi-view region-based dense depth map estimation problem is presented, based on a modified plane-sweeping strategy. In this approach, the whole scene is assumed to be region-wise planar. These planar regions are defined by back-projections of the over-segmented homogenous color regions on the images and the plane parameters are determined by angle-sweeping at different depth levels. The position and rotation of the plane patches are estimated robustly by minimizing a segment-based cost function, which considers occlusions, as well. The quality of depth map estimates is measured via reconstruction quality of the conjugate views, after warping segments into these views by the resulting homographies. Finally, a greedy-search algorithm is applied to refine the reconstruction quality and update the plane equations with visibility constraint. Based on the simulation results, it is observed that the proposed algorithm handles large un-textured regions, depth discontinuities at object boundaries, slanted surfaces, as well as occlusions.

Segment-based stereo-matching via plane and angle sweeping Cigla, Cevahir; Zabulis, Xenophon; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (2007-01-01) A novel approach for segment-based stereo matching problem is presented, based on a modified plane-sweeping strategy. The space is initially divided into planes that are located at different depth levels via plane sweeping by the help of region-wise planarity assumption for the scene. Over-segmented homogenous color regions are utilized for defining planar segment boundaries and plane equations are determined by angle sweeping at different planes. The robustness of depth map estimates is improved by warping...
Inshore ship detection in high resolution satellite images Approximation of harbours using sea land segmentation BEŞBINAR, BERİL; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (2015-09-24) This paper proposes a novel inshore ship detection method that is based on the approximation of harbour area with piecewise linear line segments. The method heavily depends on a very fine sea-land segmentation, which is realized in two steps in this work. First, an initial mask is generated by thresholding the normalized difference water index (NDWI) using the zero-level of available global elevation data. In the second step, border of the segmentation result is further enhanced via graph-cut algorithm sinc...
Optimally merging precipitation to minimize land surface modeling errors Yılmaz, Mustafa Tuğrul; Shrestha, Roshan; Anantharaj, Valentine G. (American Meteorological Society, 2010-03-01) This paper introduces a new method to improve land surface model skill by merging different available precipitation datasets, given that an accurate land surface parameter ground truth is available. Precipitation datasets are merged with the objective of improving terrestrial water and energy cycle simulation skill, unlike most common methods in which the merging skills are evaluated by comparing the results with gauge data or selected reference data. The optimal merging method developed in this study minim...
Feature extraction from acoustic and hyperspectral data by 2d local discriminant bases search Kalkan, Habil; Kalkan, Habil; Department of Information Systems (2008) In this thesis, a feature extraction algorithm based on 2D Local Discriminant Bases (LDB) search is developed for acoustic and hyperspectral data. The developed algorithm extracts the relevant features by both eliminating the irrelevant ones and/or by merging the ones that do not provide extra information on their own. It is implemented on real world data to separate aflatoxin contaminated or high risk hazelnuts from the sound ones by using impact acoustic and hyperspectral data. Impact acoustics data is us...
Edge-Aware Stereo Matching with O(1) Complexity Cigla, Cevahir; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (2012-01-26) In this paper, a novel local stereo matching algorithm is introduced, providing precise disparity maps with low computational complexity. Following the common steps of local matching methods, namely cost calculation, aggregation, minimization and occlusion handling; the time consuming intensity dependent aggregation procedure is improved in terms of both speed and precision. For this purpose, a novel approach, denoted as permeability filtering (PF), is introduced, engaging computationally efficient two pass...
