By using differential sensitivity analysis, horizontal and vertical accuracy of orthorectification of monoscopic images taken by small satellites without using Ground Control Points (GCP) is predicted. The analysis is performed by differentiating the colinearity equation of orthorectification procedure with respect to the satellite's interior and exterior parameters, and elevation obtained from digital elevation model (DEM). Square of the differential equations with respect to parameters are multiplied with the variance covariance matrix of the parameters and horizontal uncertainty of the orthorectification is obtained by summing the results of this multiplication. Vertical uncertainty is caused by the uncertainty of DEM and the uncertainty of the horizontal position. Vertical uncertainty caused by the horizontal uncertainty is predicted by estimating a trend by generating a surface polynomial from DEM on the basis of covariance function of Hirvonen. Contribution of each error source is illustrated and the most sensitive parameter is obtained. With this knowledge, special weight can be given to the most sensitive parameter and the uncertainty of the orthorectification can be decreased in the most efficient way.

Comparative evaluation of ISAR processing algorithms Tufan, Alper; Dural Ünver, Mevlüde Gülbin; Koç, Seyit Sencer; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2012) In this thesis, Inverse Synthtetic Aperture Radar image reconstruction techniques, named as Range Doppler, Back Projection, Polar Formatting, Multiple Signal Classification (MUSIC) and Time Frequency techniques are analysed and compared using simulations. Time Frequency techniques investigated in this thesis are Short Time Fourier Transform, Wigner-Ville Distribution, Smoothed Wigner-Ville Distribution and Choi-Williams Distribution. First, some fundamental concepts of ISAR, such as resolution, range profil...
GEZGIN & GEZGIN-2: Adaptive real-time image processing subsystems for earth observing small satellites Ismailoglu, N.; Benderli, O.; Yesil, S.; Sever, Ramazan; Okcan, B.; Sengul, O.; Oktem, Rusen (2006-06-18) GEZGIN and GEZGIN-2 are real-time multispectral image processing subsystems developedfor BILSAT-1 and RASAT satellites respectively, the first two earth observing small satellites of Turkey. Main functionality of these subsystems is to compress in real-time multi-spectral images received concurrently from imagers, using JPEG2000 Image Compression algorithm. The compression features are controlled through user-supplied parameters uploaded in-orbit, so that the compression rate could be adapted to bandwidth, ...
Metric scale and angle estimation in monocular visual odometry with multiple distance sensors Ölmez, Burhan; Tuncer, Temel Engin (2021-10-01) In this paper, a novel approach is presented to estimate the metric scale (MSC) and roll and pitch angles of a platform by using distance sensors in a monocular visual odometry setup. A state-of-the-art visual odometry algorithm Semi-Direct Visual Odometry (SVO) [1] is used to obtain sparse three dimensional (3D) point cloud which is then matched with the measurements obtained from the distance sensors for the estimation process. Metric scale with Kalman (MSCwK) filter approach is presented where the metric...
Comparative evaluation of SAR image formation algorithms Şahin, Halil İbrahim; Dural Ünver, Mevlüde Gülbin; Koç, Seyit Sencer; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010) In the scope of this thesis, simulation-based analyses and comparative evaluation of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) image formation techniques, namely Time Domain Correlation, Range Stacking, Range Doppler and Chirp Scaling algorithms, are presented. For this purpose, first, the fundamental concepts of SAR such as SAR geometry, resolution and signal properties are explained. A broadside SAR simulator that provides artificial raw data as an input to the algorithms is designed and implemented. Then, the mathe...
Efficient algorithms for convolutional inverse problems in multidimensional imaging Doğan, Didem; Öktem, Figen S.; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2020) Computational imaging is the process of indirectly forming images from measurements using image reconstruction algorithms that solve inverse problems. In many inverse problems in multidimensional imaging such as spectral and depth imaging, the measurements are in the form of superimposed convolutions related to the unknown image. In this thesis, we first provide a general formulation for these problems named as convolutional inverse problems, and then develop fast and efficient image reconstruction algorith...
