This study aims to develop an effective regional shadow removal algorithm using rich spectral information existing in hyperspectral imagery. The proposed method benefits from spectral similarity of shadow and neighboring nonshadow pixels regardless of the intensity values. Although the shadow area has lower reflectance values due to inadequacy of incident light, it is expected that this area contains similar spectral characteristics with nonshadow area. Using this assumption, the endmembers in both shadowed and nonshadow area are extracted by Vertex Component Analysis (VCA). On the other hand, HySime algorithm overcomes estimating number of endmembers, which is one of the challenging parts in hyperspectral unmixing. Therefore, two sets of endmembers are extracted independently for both shadowed and nonshadow area. The proposed study aims at revealing the relation between these two endmember sets by comparing their pairwise similarities. Finally, reflectance values of shadowed pixels are re-calculated separately for each spectral band of hyperspectral image using this information.

UTILIZING HYPERSPECTRAL REMOTE SENSING IMAGERY FOR AFFORESTATION PLANNING OF PARTIALLY COVERED AREAS Omruuzun, Fatih; Baskurt, Didem Ozisik; Daglayan, Hazan; Çetin, Yasemin (2015-09-23) In this study, a supportive method for afforestation planning process of partially forested areas using hyperspectral remote sensing imagery has been proposed. The algorithm has been tested on a scene covering METU campus area that is acquired by high resolution hyperspectral push-broom sensor operating in visible and NIR range of the electromagnetic spectrum. The main contribution of this study to the literature is segmentation of partially forested regions with a semi-supervised classification of specific...
Hyperspectral Unmixing Based Analysis of Forested Areas Başkurt, Nur Didem; Omruuzun, Fatih; Çetin, Yasemin (2015-05-19) This study aims to extract the planted regions in partially forested area by analyzing the hyperspectral remote sensing images acquired with airborne platforms. The proposed study utilizes the endmember signatures obtained from hyperspectral unmixing algorithms in order to classify the image pixels. The classification algorithm selects the endmember with highest spectral vegetation characteristic, and associates this endmember with the planted area pixels. The algorithm is tested on a scene covering METU An...
Shadow detection and compensation in aerial images with an application to building height estimation Şeref, Ahmet; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010) This thesis is devoted to the shadow detection and compensation in aerial images with application of the detection results to building height detection. Shadows could be defined as the parts of the scene that is not directly illuminated by a light source due to obstructing object or objects. Usually the shadows in images or video are undesirable, since they could cause degradation of the expected results during processing of the image or video for object detection, segmentation, scene surveillance or simila...
Sensor fusion of a camera and 2D LIDAR for lane detection and tracking Yeniaydın, Yasin; Schmidt, Klaus Verner; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019) This thesis proposes a novel lane detection and tracking algorithm based on sensor fusion of a camera and 2D LIDAR. The proposed method is based on the top down view of a grayscale image, whose lane pixels are enhanced by the convolution with a 1D top-hat kernel. The convolved image is horizontally divided into a predetermined number of regions and the histogram of each region is computed. Next, the highest valued local maxima in a predefined ratio in the histogram plots are determined as candidate lane pix...
Deep Spectral Convolution Network for Hyperspectral Unmixing Akar, Gözde (2018-10-10) In this paper, we propose a novel hyperspectral unmixing technique based on deep spectral convolution networks (DSCN). Particularly, three important contributions are presented throughout this paper. First, fully-connected linear operation is replaced with spectral convolutions to extract local spectral characteristics from hyperspectral signatures with a deeper network architecture. Second, instead of batch normalization, we propose a spectral normalization layer which improves the selectivity of filters b...
