In this work, user behaviour characteristics were investigated for a webbased virtual tour application in which 3600 panoramic images were used. There exist several options for the user to navigate in the museum (interactive floor plan, links in the images and pull-down menu). Written and audio information about the sections visited, detailed information for some artworks and several control functions are provided at the webpage. 15 participants undertook the usability test and they filled a post-experiment questionnaire. The main research questions were: Which option of navigation is preferred? At what rate are the written information area, audio information option and extra artwork information used? Which way of control (mouse, keyboard, panel buttons) is preferred? Results showed that the floor plan is the most preferred way for changing the location and pull-down menu is the least preferred. Another finding is that the mouse is the most preferred way for control functions.

User directed view synthesis on omap processors Yıldız, Mürsel; Akar, Gözde; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2009) In this thesis, real time image rendering for hand held devices is studied according to user’s view point choice and using image frames with corresponding depth maps obtained from 2 different cameras, of which positions on coordinate system is known. User’s view point choice is restricted to the area between right, and left cameras. Occlusion handling methods for image rendering systems is explored and discussed together with frame enhancement techniques. Median filtering is studied for multicolor image fra...
Iterative Photometric Stereo with Shadow and Specular Region Detection for 3D Reconstruction BUYUKATALAY, Soner; BİRGÜL, ÖZLEM; Halıcı, Uğur (2009-04-11) Photometric stereo is a 3D reconstruction algorithm that uses the images of an object with different light conditions and its performance is affected by the shades and specular regions in the images. Especially, the use of Lambert reflectance model results in errors in the reconstructed surface normals. In this study an iterative approach was used to generate masks corresponding to these problematic regions and the surface normals were reconstructed using a Lambert based algorithm that excludes these region...
Multi-camera video surveillance : detection, occlusion handling, tracking and event recognition Akman, Oytun; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007) In this thesis, novel methods for background modeling, tracking, occlusion handling and event recognition via multi-camera configurations are presented. As the initial step, building blocks of typical single camera surveillance systems that are moving object detection, tracking and event recognition, are discussed and various widely accepted methods for these building blocks are tested to asses on their performance. Next, for the multi-camera surveillance systems, background modeling, occlusion handling, tr...
Multi Camera Visual Surveillance for Motion Detection Occlusion Handling Tracking and Event Recognition Akman, Oytun; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın; Çiloğlu, Tolga (null; 2008-10-05) This paper presents novel approaches for background modeling, occlusion handling and event recognition by using multi-camera configurations that can be used to overcome the limitations of the single camera configurations. The main novelty in proposed background modeling approach is building multivariate Gaussians background model for each pixel of the reference camera by utilizing homography-related positions. Also, occlusion handling is achieved by generation of the top-view via trifocal tensors, as a resu...
Matching of straight line segments from aerial stereo images of urban areas Ok, Ali Ozgun; Wegner, Jan Dirk; Heipke, Christian; Rottensteiner, Franz; Soergel, Uwe; Toprak, Vedat (2012-11-01) Reliable extraction of corresponding straight lines in overlapping images can be used for different purposes such as 3D object extraction, image registration, automated triangulation, etc. In this study, a new approach for the matching of straight line features from stereo aerial images is presented. Initial correspondences between stereo images are generated using a pair-wise stereo matching approach, which involves a total of seven relational constraints. The final straight line correspondences between th...
