This study concentrates on user assisted disparity remapping for stereo image footage, i.e. the disparity of an object of interest is altered while leaving the remaining scene unattended. This application is useful in the sense that it provides a method for emphasizing/de-emphasizing an object on the scene by adjusting its depth with respect to the camera. The proposed technique can also be used as a post-processing step for retargeting stereoscopic footage on different display sizes and resolutions. The proposed technique involves an MRF-based energy minimization step for interactive stereo image segmentation, for which user assistance on only one of the stereo pairs is required for determining the location of stereo object pair. A key contribution of the proposed study is elimination of dense disparity estimation step from the pipeline. This step is realized through a sparse feature matching technique between the stereo pairs. Moreover, by the help of the proposed technique, novel disparity adjusted views are synthesized using the produced stereo object segments and background information for the images. Qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the generated segments and the disparity adjusted images prove the functionality and superiority of the proposed technique.

User Assisted Stereo Image Retargetting Tasli, H. Emrah; Gevers, Theo; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (2013-01-01) The wide availability of stereoscopic 3D TVs and mobile displays created a considerable market for content producers. This opened a new phase for researchers to study on methods to alter and process the content for various purposes. This study concentrates on user assisted disparity remapping for stereo image footage. The disparity of an object of interest is altered while leaving the remaining scene unattended. This application is useful in the sense that it provides a method for emphasizing/de-emphasizing...
User directed view synthesis on omap processors Yıldız, Mürsel; Akar, Gözde; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2009) In this thesis, real time image rendering for hand held devices is studied according to user’s view point choice and using image frames with corresponding depth maps obtained from 2 different cameras, of which positions on coordinate system is known. User’s view point choice is restricted to the area between right, and left cameras. Occlusion handling methods for image rendering systems is explored and discussed together with frame enhancement techniques. Median filtering is studied for multicolor image fra...
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...
Effects of modulation type on blind SIMO commmunications systems Karakutuk, Serkan; Tuncer, Temel Engin (2007-06-13) In frame based communication systems, blind identification of frame length and offset from limited number of observations has an important affect on the performance of blind channel identification and equalization algorithms. In [1], for guard interval transmission schemes, a novel blind frame length and offset estimation method is proposed. In this paper, the performance of methods proposed in [1] for fixed frame length transmission are studied.
Automatic mesh enhancement by control of aspect ratio Egorova, Olga; Sorguç, Arzu; Hagıwara, Ichiro (null; 2002-11-02) In this study the aspect ratio is chosen as a characteristic parameter of the mesh structure. Basic statistical theory, Monte Carlo simulation technique and geometrical realization are to be employed. The assumption for the new distribution of aspect ratio and value prediction for each mesh are to be applied in a cycle way. The parameters like expectation and variance are used to determine how much the modification of meshes is necessary in the next step. The equality of sample mean to desirable aspect rati...
