This paper presents an improved photometric stereo (PS) method by integrating it with a local shape from shading (SFS) algorithm. PS produces the initial estimate of image for the global accuracy and also provides the recovery of albedo, SFS supplies the more detailed information within each homogeneous area. The quality of depth obtained by integrating PS and SFS is compared with the real depth using absolute dept error function, and the improvement ranging from 2.3 to 14% over PS is obtained.

Making linear prediction perform like maximum likelihood in Gaussian autoregressive model parameter estimation Candan, Çağatay (Elsevier BV, 2020-01-01) A two-stage method for the parameter estimation of Gaussian autoregressive models is proposed. The proposed first stage is an improved version of the conventional forward-backward prediction method and can be interpreted as its weighted version with the weights derived from the arithmetic mean of the log-likelihood functions for different conditioning cases. The weighted version is observed to perform better than the conventional forward-backward prediction method and other linear prediction based methods (...
Continuous dimensionality characterization of image structures Felsberg, Michael; Kalkan, Sinan; Kruger, Norbert (Elsevier BV, 2009-05-04) Intrinsic dimensionality is a concept introduced by statistics and later used in image processing to measure the dimensionality of a data set. In this paper, we introduce a continuous representation of the intrinsic dimension of an image patch in terms of its local spectrum or, equivalently, its gradient field. By making use of a cone structure and barycentric co-ordinates, we can associate three confidences to the three different ideal cases of intrinsic dimensions corresponding to homogeneous image patche...
One-dimensional representation of two-dimensional information for HMM based handwriting recognition Arica, N; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay (Elsevier BV, 2000-06-01) In this study, we introduce a one-dimensional feature set, which embeds two-dimensional information into an observation sequence of one-dimensional string, selected from a code-book. It provides a consistent normalization among distinct classes of shapes, which is very convenient for Hidden Markov Model (HMM) based shape recognition schemes. The normalization parameters, which maximize the recognition rate, are dynamically estimated in the training stage of HMM. The proposed recognition system is tested on ...
A unified framework for derivation and implementation of Savitzky-Golay filters Candan, Çağatay (Elsevier BV, 2014-11-01) The Savitzky-Golay (SG) filter design problem is posed as the minimum norm solution of an underdetermined equation system. A unified SG filter design framework encompassing several important applications such as smoothing, differentiation, integration and fractional delay is developed. In addition to the generality and flexibility of the framework, an efficient SG filter implementation structure, naturally emerging from the framework, is proposed. The structure is shown to reduce the number of multipliers i...
Low-level multiscale image segmentation and a benchmark for its evaluation Akbaş, Emre (Elsevier BV, 2020-10-01) In this paper, we present a segmentation algorithm to detect low-level structure present in images. The algorithm is designed to partition a given image into regions, corresponding to image structures, regardless of their shapes, sizes, and levels of interior homogeneity. We model a region as a connected set of pixels that is surrounded by ramp edge discontinuities where the magnitude of these discontinuities is large compared to the variation inside the region. Each region is associated with a scale that d...
