The real world encompasses a high range of luminances. In order to capture and represent this range correctly, High Dynamic Range (HDR) imaging techniques are introduced. Some of these techniques are based on constructing an HDR image from several Low Dynamic Range (LDR) images with different exposures. In the capture and reconstruction phases, the HDR reproduction techniques must resolve the differences between the input LDR images due to camera and object movement. In this study, two recent approaches addressing this issue are compared using a novel dataset comprised of image sequences with varying complexity. The results are evaluated by using both objective and subjective measures.

Design and construction of reduced size planar spiral antenna in the 0.5-18 ghz frequency range
Yıldız, İnanç; Hızal, Altunkan; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2004)
In this thesis, theoretical and practical evaluation of usual spiral antenna is revised. Working principles of both types of planar spiral antennas as Equiangular and Archimedean are introduced. A predesigned microstrip tapered balun used for feeding section of a spiral antenna is simulated on Ansoft HFSS software. Successful simulation results are obtained and measurements of implemented balun structure are made by using an HP 8722 D vector network analyzer. Antenna measurement techniques used in this stud...
An overview of detection in MIMO radar
Bilgi Akdemir, Şafak; Candan, Çağatay; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010)
In this thesis study, an overview of MIMO radar is presented. The differences in radar cross section, channel and received signal models in different MIMO radar configurations are examined. The performance improvements that can be achieved by the use of waveform diversity in coherent MIMO radar and by the use of angular diversity in statistical MIMO radar are investigated. The optimal detector under Neyman-Pearson criterion for Coherent MIMO radar when the interfering signal is white Gaussian noise is devel...
Microscopic study of nuclear level density
Gholami, Mehrdad; Kıldır, Mehmet; Department of Chemistry (2007)
Level densities and spin cut-off factors have been investigated within the microscopic approach based on BCS Hamiltonian. In particular the spin cut-off parameters have been calculated at neutron binding energies over a large range of nuclear mass using the BCS theory. The results are compared with their corresponding macroscopic values. It is found that the values of spin cut-off parameter do not increase smoothly with A as expected based on macroscopic theory. Instead, the values of spin cut-off parameter...
Nonlinear estimation techniques applied to econometric problems
Aslan, Serdar; Demirbaş, Kerim; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2004)
This thesis considers the filtering and prediction problems of nonlinear noisy econometric systems. As a filter/predictor, the standard tool Extended Kalman Filter and new approaches Discrete Quantization Filter and Sequential Importance Resampling Filter are used. The algorithms are compared by using Monte Carlo Simulation technique. The advantages of the new algorithms over Extended Kalman Filter are shown.
Evaluating the Applicability of a Two-dimensional Flow Model of a Highly Heterogeneous Domain to Flow and Environmental Management
Carr, Kara J.; Tu, Tongbi; Ercan, Ali; Kavvas, M. Levent (2018-02-01)
Two-dimensional simulation of highly heterogeneous domains, especially those with disparate length scales, roughness conditions, and geometries, often leads to challenges such as long computation times and numerical instability. Simulation of challenging domains is often needed to guide flood management and environmental regulation agencies in operation and potential domain modifications. This work evaluates the ability of a two-dimensional unsteady hydrodynamic model to represent long-duration transient fl...
