In this paper a novel edge-presenting super-resolution (SR) image reconstruction method is proposed. The proposed maximum a-posteriori (MAP) based estimator uses gradient direction and amount for optimal noise reduction while presenting the edges. Compared to the other edge-presenting methods, the proposed algorithm uses the gradient direction for optimum regularization. The proposed method estimates gradient amplitude and direction at each iteration. This gradient map guides the SR reconstruction stage through iterations. Proposed method is compared against other traditional super resolution methods. Peak-signal-to-noise-ratio (PSNR) measures and illustrations clearly show that the proposed method is successful especially on edge structures in images.

CONTEXT BASED SUPER RESOLUTION IMAGE RECONSTRUCTION Turgay, Emre; Akar, Gözde (2009-08-21) In this paper a context based super-resolution (SR) image reconstruction method is proposed. The proposed maximum a-posteriori (MAP) based estimator identifies local gradients and textures for selecting the optimal SR method for the region of interest. Texture segmentation and gradient map estimation are done prior to the reconstruction stage. Gradient direction is used for optimal noise reduction along the edges for non-textured regions. On the other hand, regularization term is cancelled for textured regi...
DIRECTIONALLY ADAPTIVE SUPER-RESOLUTION Turgay, Emre; Akar, Gözde (2009-11-10) In this paper a novel direction adaptive super-resolution (SR) image reconstruction method is proposed. The proposed maximum a-posteriori (MAP) based estimator uses gradient direction for optimal noise reduction while preserving the edges. Compared to the other edge-preserving methods, the proposed algorithm uses gradient direction in addition to the gradient amplitude for optimum regularization. The method comprises a gradient amplitude and direction estimation stage where a gradient direction map is obtai...
TEXTURE PRESERVING MULTI FRAME SUPER RESOLUTION WITH SPATIALLY VARYING IMAGE PRIOR Turgay, Emre; Akar, Gözde (2012-10-03) This paper proposes a new maximum a posteriori (MAP) based super-resolution (SR) image reconstruction method targeting edges and textures in images. Unlike conventional MAP based SR image reconstruction methods a spatially varying image prior is employed which is updated according to the frequency content of the reconstructed image at each iteration at different locations. Two alternative methods based on discrete cosine transforms (DCT) and Gabor filters are proposed for determining the image prior. The pr...
Road network extraction from high-resolution multi spectral satellite images Karaman, Ersin; Çetin, Yasemin; Department of Information Systems (2012) In this thesis, an automatic road extraction algorithm for multi-spectral images is developed. The developed model extracts elongated structures from images by using edge detection, segmentation and clustering techniques. The study also extracts non-road regions like vegetative fields, bare soils and water bodies to obtain more accurate road map. The model is constructed in a modular approach that aims to extract roads with different characteristics. Each module output is combined to create a road score map...
GEOMETRY-CONSTRAINED SPATIAL PYRAMID ADAPTATION FOR IMAGE CLASSIFICATION Tasli, H. Emrah; Sicre, Ronan; Gevers, Theo; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (2014-10-30) This paper proposes a geometry-constrained spatial pyramid adaptation approach for the image classification task. Scene geometry is used as an input parameter for generating the spatial pyramid definitions. The resulting region adaptation is performed in accordance with the predefined geometric guidelines and underlying image characteristics. Using an approximate global geometric correspondence, exploits the idea that images of the same category share a spatial similarity. This assumption is evaluated and j...
