Increasing the low spatial resolution of hyperspectcal images (HSIs) improves the performance of applications in which the HSIs are used. In this study, a fusion based method is proposed to increase the resolution of IISIs. In the proposed method, low resolution (LR) HSI is fused with the high resolution (HR) RGB image to obtain the HR HSI. In this approach, instead of using the spectral images as in the conventional methods, RGB image is used with the abundance maps of the HSI estimated from the linear unmixing and the spatial resolution is enhanced using these maps. In this method, firstly, endmembers are estimated and LR abundance maps are obtained. Then, HR abundance maps are obtained by minimizing an energy function, which is constructed from the LR abundance maps with the HR RGB image. Finally, HR HSI is obtained from these HR abundance maps. The method is tested with real HSIs. Main contribution of the method is converting fusion problem to a quadratic optimization problem in the abundance map domain without any assumption or prior knowledge. The proposed method solves the fusion problem with a computational time much lower than the state-of-the-art fusion based methods with a competing performance.

An Investigation on hyperspectral image classifiers for remote sensing
Özdemir, Okan Bilge; Çetin, Yasemin; Department of Information Systems (2013)
Hyperspectral image processing is improved by the capabilities of multispectral image processing with high spectral resolution. In this thesis, we explored hyperspectral classification with Support Vector Machines (SVM), Maximum Likelihood (ML) and KNearest Neighborhood algorithms. We analyzed the effect of training data on classification accuracy. For this purpose, we implemented three different training data selection methods; first N sample selection, randomly N sample selection and uniformly N sample se...
Bayesian multi frame super resolution
Turgay, Emre; Akar, Gözde; Akar, Nail; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014)
This thesis aims at increasing the effective resolution of an image using a set of low resolution images. This process is referred to as super resolution (SR) image reconstruction in the literature. This work proposes maximum a-posteriori (MAP) based iterative reconstruction methods for this problem. The first contribution of the thesis is a novel edge preserving SR image reconstruction method. The proposed MAP based estimator uses local gradient direction and amplitude for optimal noise reduction while prese...
Hyperspectral Imagery Superresolution
Irmak, Hasan; Akar, Gözde; Yuksel, Seniha Esen (2016-05-19)
Despite their high spectral resolution, hyperspectral images have low spatial resolution which adversely affects the applications that use hyperspectral images. In this study, instead of the traditional way of using spectral images, abundances of the endmembers are used in resolution enhancement. In the proposed method, first, endmembers are extracted with the SISAL algorithm. Then, the abundance maps are estimated using FCLS. From the low resolution abundance maps, high resolution abundance maps are obtain...
Real-time FPGA firmware for VGA resolution infrared camera
Çevik, Kami; Akın, Tayfun; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019)
Infrared cameras generally require pre-processing on raw image data in order to improve the output image quality. Raw output of the infrared cameras occupies a narrow part of the available dynamic range. Contrast enhancement is one of the pre-processing operations and used for improving dynamic range of the low contrast images. This thesis proposes an adaptive histogram equalization method for enhancing the contrast of long wavelength infrared camera output with 640×480 resolution and provides a FPGA implem...
Visibility grid method for efficient crowd rendering wirh shadows
Koçdemir, Şahin Serdar; İşler, Veysi; Department of Modeling and Simulation (2012)
Virtual crowd rendering have been used in film industry with offine rendering methods for a long time. But its existence in interactive real-time applications such as video games is not so common due to the limited rendering power of current graphics hardware. This thesis describes a novel method to improve shadow mapping performance of a crowded scene by taking into account the screen space visibility of the casted shadow of a crowd instance when rendering the shadow maps. A grid-based visibility mask crea...
