A new segmentation fusion method is proposed that ensembles the output of several segmentation algorithms applied on a remotely sensed image. The candidate segmentation sets are processed to achieve a consensus segmentation using a stochastic optimization algorithm based on the Filtered Stochastic BOEM (Best One Element Move) method. For this purpose, Filtered Stochastic BOEM is reformulated as a segmentation fusion problem by designing a new distance learning approach. The proposed algorithm also embeds the computation of the optimum number of clusters into the segmentation fusion problem.

AUTOMATIC MULTI-SCALE SEGMENTATION OF HIGH SPATIAL RESOLUTION SATELLITE IMAGES USING WATERSHEDS Sahin, Kerem; Ulusoy, İlkay (2013-07-26) An automatic segmentation algorithm that is based on watersheds and region merging type multi-scale segmentation (MSS) is proposed, which can be used as the initial step of an object-based classifier. First, the image is segmented using watershed segmentation. Then, primitive segments are merged to create meaningful objects by the proposed hybrid region merging algorithm. During these steps, an unsupervised segmentation accuracy metric is considered so that best performing parameters of the proposed algorit...
Selection and fusion of multiple stereo algorithms for accurate disparity segmentation Bilgin, Arda; Ulusoy, İlkay; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2008) Fusion of multiple stereo algorithms is performed in order to obtain accurate disparity segmentation. Reliable disparity map of real-time stereo images is estimated and disparity segmentation is performed for object detection purpose. First, stereo algorithms which have high performance in real-time applications are chosen among the algorithms in the literature and three of them are implemented. Then, the results of these algorithms are fused to gain better performance in disparity estimation. In fusion pro...
A neural network method for direction of arrival estimation with uniform circular dipole array in the presence of mutual coupling Caylar, Selcuk; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Dural, Guelbin (2007-06-16) In recent years application of Neural Network (NN) algorithms in both target tracking problem and DoA estimation have become popular because of the increased computational efficiency This paper presents the implementation of modified neural network algorithm(MN-MUST) to the uniform circular dipole array in the presence of mutual coupling. In smart antenna systems, mutual coupling between elements can significantly degrade the processing algorithms. In this paper mutual coupling affects on MN-MUST has been i...
A Graph-Based Approach for Video Scene Detection Sakarya, Ufuk; Telatar, Zjya (2008-04-22) In this paper, a graph-based method for video scene detection is proposed. The method is based on a weighted undirected graph. Each shot is a vertex on the graph. Edge weights among the vertices are evaluated by using spatial and temporal similarities of shots. By using the complete information of the graph, a set of the vertices mostly similar to each other and dissimilar to the others is detected. Temporal continuity constraint is achieved on this set. This set is the first detected video scene. The verti...
Efficient and Accurate Electromagnetic Optimizations Based on Approximate Forms of the Multilevel Fast Multipole Algorithm Onol, Can; Karaosmanoglu, Bariscan; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2016-01-01) We present electromagnetic optimizations by heuristic algorithms supported by approximate forms of the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA). Optimizations of complex structures, such as antennas, are performed by considering each trial as an electromagnetic problem that can be analyzed via MLFMA and its approximate forms. A dynamic accuracy control is utilized in order to increase the efficiency of optimizations. Specifically, in the proposed scheme, the accuracy is used as a parameter of the optimiz...
