This study proposes an interactive multi label object segmentation method and applications on mono and stereo images. The general segmentation problem is approached by an energy minimization on a Markov Random Field (MRF). The minimum energy potential labelling is the primary goal of the multi label segmentation algorithm. User inputs are used to determine object location and geodesic prior induced iterative graph cut energy minimization is used to define object boundaries. Segmented objects on mono images are used to generate stereo pairs for viewing on 3D displays. Segmented object pairs on stereo images are used for depth adjustment in order to achieve better visual quality. The assignment of relative depths on multiple objects is necessary for stereo image pair synthesis using conventional depth image based rendering (DIBR) techniques.

Depth assisted object segmentation in multi-view video Cigla, Cevahir; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (2008-01-01) In this work, a novel and unified approach for multi-view video (MVV) object segmentation is presented. In the first stage, a region-based graph-theoretic color segmentation algorithm is proposed, in which the popular Normalized Cuts segmentation method is improved with some modifications on its graph structure. Segmentation is obtained by recursive bi-partitioning of a weighted graph of an initial over-segmentation mask. The available segmentation mask is also utilized during dense depth map estimation ste...
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...
Automatic image annotation by ensemble of visual descriptors Akbaş, Emre (2007-06-22) Automatic image annotation systems available in the literature concatenate color, texture and/or shape features in a single feature vector to learn a set of high level semantic categories using a single learning machine. This approach is quite naive to map the visual features to high level semantic information concerning the categories. Concatenation of many features with different visual properties and wide dynamical ranges may result in curse of dimensionality and redundancy problems. Additionally, it usu...
Dense depth map estimation for object segmentation in multi-view video Çığla, Cevahir; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007) In this thesis, novel approaches for dense depth field estimation and object segmentation from mono, stereo and multiple views are presented. In the first stage, a novel graph-theoretic color segmentation algorithm is proposed, in which the popular Normalized Cuts 59H[6] segmentation algorithm is improved with some modifications on its graph structure. Segmentation is obtained by the recursive partitioning of the weighted graph. The simulation results for the comparison of the proposed segmentation scheme w...
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-...
