Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) is a metric used to link the image quality and radiometric performance of the remote sensing imaging systems. It is one of the remote sensing imaging system's design parameters that represents the image quality. SNR calculation and analysis should be carried out at design phase of remote sensing imaging systems. This calculation and analysis are crucial for confirmation of design success. It is important to show that the light flux reaching the sensor and the generated electrons on sensor is enough to create a high quality image. In this paper, the spectral and total light flux power calculations are presented and SNR analysis in near infrared wavelength region for a remote sensing imaging system used at low earth orbit is demonstrated. Light flux power calculation and SNR analysis are necessary for designing an optical imaging system. The amount of light flux entering to the sensor should be calculated. SNR should also be analyzed to determine the entrance baffle diameter and estimate the image quality of the optical imaging system. The proposed method provides 28.2% electrons filling ratio per pixel, 0.56 V gain and the SNR of 861 for the 2.5 ms operation of the optical system.

Opti-acoustic stereo imaging Saç, Hakan; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Salor Durna, Özgül; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2012) In this thesis, opti-acoustic stereo imaging, which is the deployment of two-dimensional (2D) high frequency imaging sonar with the electro-optical camera in calibrated stereo configuration, is studied. Optical cameras give detailed images in clear waters. However, in dark or turbid waters, information coming from electro-optical sensor is insufficient for accurate scene perception. Imaging sonars, also known as acoustic cameras, can provide enhanced target details under these scenarios. To illustrate these...
Noise Estimation for Hyperspectral Imagery using Spectral Unmixing and Synthesis DEMİRKESEN, CAN; Leloğlu, Uğur Murat (2014-09-25) Most hyperspectral image (HSI) processing algorithms assume a signal to noise ratio model in their formulation which makes them dependent on accurate noise estimation. Many techniques have been proposed to estimate the noise. A very comprehensive comparative study on the subject is done by Gao et al. [1]. In a nut-shell, most techniques are based on the idea of calculating standard deviation from assumed-to-be homogenous regions in the image. Some of these algorithms work on a regular grid parameterized wit...
Phase sensitive detection of motor fault signatures in the presence of noise Akin, Bilal; Toliyat, Hamid; Orguner, Umut; Rayner, Mark (2007-05-05) In this paper, digital signal processor (DSP)-based phase-sensitive motor fault signature detection is presented. The implemented method has a powerful line current noise suppression capability while detecting the fault signatures. Because the line current of inverter driven motors involve low order harmonies, high frequency switching disturbances, and the noise generated by harsh industrial environment; the real-time fault analyses yield erroneous or fluctuating fault signatures. This situation becomes a s...
Measurement correction of a set of analog sun sensors via neural network Sozen, Semsettin Numan; Gokce, Murat; Yavuzyilmaz, Cagatay; Gulmammadov, Farid; Söken, Halil Ersin (2021-06-23) A Neural Network (NN) based method to improve the accuracy of a set of analog Sun sensors is presented. Analog Sun Sensors are commonly used on satellites due to their reduced cost, small size and low power consumption. However, especially in Earth imaging satellites, they are prone to the Earth albedo effects. Magnitude and direction of albedo change depending on the reflection characteristics of the Earth's surface, position and attitude of the satellite and position of the Sun. The albedo may deteriorate...
Dimension reduced robust beamforming for towed arrays Topçu, Emre; Candan, Çağatay; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2015) Adaptive beamforming methods are used to obtain higher signal to interference plus noise ratio at the array output. However, these methods are very sensitive to steering vector and covariance matrix estimation errors. To overcome this issue, robust methods are usually employed. On the other hand, implementation of these robust methods can be computationally expensive for arrays with large number of sensors. Reduced dimension techniques aim to lower the computational load of adaptive beamforming algorithms w...
