In Digital Surface Model generation applications, obtaining stereo correspondences is a crucial step. The geometry of stereo image generation causes significant disparities between match points. Unlike the pinhole camera model, in pushbroom sensor images, search is less structured, since there exists no epipolar geometry. This situation brings significant computational load over the stereo correspondence generation step. In this study, a fast sparse stereo pair generation scheme is presented. This approach uses SRTM data, RPC coefficients and quadratic polynomial interpolation to generate an estimate for the geodetic coordinates of each pixel in the reference image. Harris corner detector is used to generate many feature points in the reference image. The geodetic coordinate estimates at these feature points are projected onto the second image using RPC coefficients and this projection is taken as an initial estimate for a pyramidal Kanade-Lucas-Tomasi (KLT) optical flow estimation method. Since the initial estimates for optical flow are quite reliable, the resulting match points are obtained using more precise spatio-temporal derivatives during optical flow estimation step. The pyramidal nature of the optical flow estimation method allows quite fast and promising results, even for cluttered and perspective-distorted regions, which are usually difficult to mark manually. On satellite images, the accuracy of the geodetic coordinate estimates and the success of the proposed pair generation scheme are presented through experiments. The differences for urban and rural areas are also investigated. The limits of the KLT algorithm for satellite stereo match generation and the potential of the method are discussed. Based on the experiments, it is shown that the proposed approach gives quite reliable sparse stereo correspondences for urban and rural areas in relatively small execution time.

Digital surface models from spaceborne images without ground control Ataseven, Yoldaş; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2012) Generation of Digital Surface Models (DSMs) from stereo satellite (spaceborne) images is classically performed by Ground Control Points (GCPs) which require site visits and precise measurement equipment. However, collection of GCPs is not always possible and such requirement limits the usage of spaceborne imagery. This study aims at developing a fast, fully automatic, GCP-free workflow for DSM generation. The problems caused by GCP-free workflow are overcome using freely-available, low resolution static DSM...
Fast intra/inter mode decision for a real-time H.264 streaming system Alay, Özgü; Akar, Gözde; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006) Video compression is a key technology used in several multimedia applications. Improvements in the compression techniques together with the increasing speed and optimized architecture of the new family processors enable us to use this technology more in real time systems. H.264 (also known as MPEG-4 Part 10 or AVC - Advanced Video Coding), is the latest video coding standard which is noted for achieving very high data compression. While H.264 is superior to its predecessors, it has a very high computational...

A CMOS switched-capacitor interface circuit for an integrated accelerometer Külah, Haluk; Najafi, K (2000-01-01) This paper presents a CMOS interface electronics for monolithic micromachined capacitive accelerometer systems. The interface electronics is a fully differential switched-capacitor charge integrator with its internal clock generator and sensor feedback circuit for closed-loop operation. The circuit is designed for open-loop and closed-loop operations, and provides both digital and differential analog outputs. One of the main advantages of this chip is that it can be monolithically integrated with the sensor...

The primary function of this ASIC is to drive imaging sensors and to do basic processing on the digital video data coming from the sensors. The ASIC is designed to handle the communication between the imaging sensor and the system. Using command based high-level instructions, this two-way communication is simplified. The ASIC can also be used to store and update...
