The high spectral resolution of hyperspectral images (HSI) requires a heavy processing load. Assigning each pixel to a group in the image, which is called superpixel, and processing the superpixels instead of the pixels is resorted as a means to overcome this challenge in the hyperspectral literature. In this paper, we propose an algorithm to segment a hyperspectral image into superpixels by means of iteratively updating the boundary pixels of superpixels. We first explore the optimal similarity metric for the boundary pixel updates with the contraint of keeping the superpixel boundaries aligned with the object boundaries in the image. We investigate two approaches for similarity detection between pixels during this update, first comparing the hyperspectral pixels individually, and second, comparing the pixels by using also their neigborhood. The spectral similarity metrics used for investigation are selected as spectral angle mapping (SAM)[1], spectral information divergence (SID)[2] and spatial coherence distance[3] due to their common usage. The proposed approach is compared with a pioneer state-of-the-art superpixel algorithm, SLIC[4], and its superiority is verified in terms of the superpixelization performance metrics, namely boundary recall and undersegmentation error [5].

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...
Hyperspectral target detection - An experimental study GUNYEL, BERTAN; Cinbiş, Ramazan Gökberk; Ture, Sedat; Gurbuz, Ali Cafer (2015-05-19) In hyperspectral imaging, the measured spectra are affected by the materials and objects that reside within or in close vicinity of the pixel which is being imaged. The detection of a material or object of interest in an imaged region is a common problem in various application areas. In this work, an experimental study is performed for target detection in hyperspectral images, supported by a performance comparison.
SUPER-RESOLUTION RECONSTRUCTION OF HYPERSPECTRAL IMAGES VIA AN IMPROVED MAP-BASED APPROACH Irmak, Hasan; Akar, Gözde; Yuksel, Seniha Esen; Aytaylan, Hakan (2016-07-15) Super-resolution Reconstruction (SRR) is technique to increase the spatial resolution of images. It is especially useful for hyperspectral images (HSI), which have good spectral resolution but low spatial resolution. In this study, we propose an improvement to our previous work and present a novel MAP-MRF (maximum a posteriori-Markov random Fields) based approach for the SRR of HSI. The key point of our approach is to find the abundance maps of an HSI and perform SRR on the abundance maps using MRF based en...
Compressed Sensing Based Hyperspectral Unmixing Albayrak, R. Tufan; GÜRBÜZ, Ali Cafer; Gunyel, Bertan (2014-04-25) In hyperspectral images the measured spectra for each pixel can be modeled as convex combination of small number of endmember spectra. Since the measured structure contains only a few of possible responses out of possibly many materials sparsity based convex optimization techniques or compressive sensing can be used for hyperspectral unmixing. In this work varying sparsity based techniques are tested for hyperspectral unmixing problem. Performance analysis of these techniques on sparsity level and measureme...
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...
