This paper presents the performance results of the improved photometric stereo (PS) method [1], which integrates PS and local shape from shading (SFS) algorithms, on the variable albedo samples. PS problem can be solved with the linear equation system by using at least three input images illuminated on different directions. SFS recovers the shape of object from a single image and it does not work on the variable albedo samples. The main idea of the integration of PS and SFS can be explained briefly as follows: PS produces the initial estimated depth for overcoming the global accuracy and recovering the albedo map; SFS supplies the more detailed information within each homegeneous area.

Surface Reconstruction from Multiple Images Filtering Non Lambert Regions BÜYÜATALAY, Soner; BİRGÜL, ÖZLEM; Halıcı, Uğur (2009-09-10) In this study a new algorithm for 3D surface reconstruction from multiple images using a modified photometric stereo method is proposed and tested. The new algorithm, Filtered Lambert Photometric Stereo (FLPS), determines the non-Lambert pixels in the available images using a linearity test and constructs filtering masks for each image that corresponds to specular and self or cast shadow regions. Then, the photometric stereo is applied after eliminating the points in these masks. Tests carried out on synthe...
An improved method of photometric stereo using local shape from shading Sakarya, U; Erkmen, İsmet (Elsevier BV, 2003-10-01) 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.
Performance analysis of adaptive loading OFDM under Rayleigh fading Canpolat, B; Tanik, Y (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2004-07-01) In this paper, we investigate the performance of adaptive loading orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) under Rayleigh fading with maximal ratio-combining (MRC) diversity at the receiver. We assume that channel-state information is available at both the transmitter and the receiver. Closed-form expressions for the lower bound on the average capacity of OFDM transmission under Rayleigh fading are provided for ideal MRC diversity. Simple approximate expressions for the average capacity of the Rayl...
Performance Comparison of Different Sparse Array Configurations for Ultra-Wideband, Near-field Imaging Applications Cetin, Beyzat Talat; Alatan, Lale (2017-03-24) The aim of this study is to compare the performance of different multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) array topologies, intended to be used in ultra-wideband (UWB) near-field imaging applications, by using an analysis method that does not include the effects of image reconstruction algorithm. For this purpose, maximum projection method, previously proposed for the analysis of UWB arrays under far-field conditions, is utilized and modified to obtain two way beam patterns of UWB arrays operating in the near-...
Accurate Reconstruction of Near-Epipolar Line Segments from Stereo Aerial Images Ok, Ali Ozgun; Wegner, Jan Dirk; Heipke, Christian; Rottensteiner, Franz; Soergel, Uwe; Toprak, Vedat (2012-01-01) In this study, a new 3D reconstruction approach for line segments from stereo images is proposed which covers the case that the image lines are nearly-aligned (<= 10 degrees) with the epipolar line. The method manipulates the redundancy inherent in line pair-relations to generate artificial 3D points and utilizes those entities during the estimation process to improve the reconstruction of the line segments. The best points for the reconstruction are selected based on a newly proposed weight function. To te...
