Shoreline extraction algorithms from multispectral imagery depend on threshold selection over spectral values and segmentation in general. Although this method gives high performance values for water delineation, error is accumulated on pixels near shoreline and complicates detection of nearby ships, docks etc. Water-shadow spectral mixing and spectral difference in water regions are two of the reasons for such untrustworthy shoreline results. With only four bands available, improvement in water detection depending only on pixel values is not very promising. Therefore, segmentation gains importance. By an edge-aware segmentation method, we aim to improve overall water and shoreline detection performances. In this study, a robust three-stage shoreline extraction algorithm is proposed. In the first stage, segmentation is applied over spectral values and then, some segments are combined according to edge information. In the second stage of the algorithm, pixel-based water information is combined with segmentation. The last step consists of enhancement of water regions based on local optimization by merging regions near shore boundary. Additionally, two new boundary-sensitive performance metrics are introduced for measuring the accuracy of the detected boundaries.

Feature extraction from acoustic and hyperspectral data by 2d local discriminant bases search Kalkan, Habil; Kalkan, Habil; Department of Information Systems (2008) In this thesis, a feature extraction algorithm based on 2D Local Discriminant Bases (LDB) search is developed for acoustic and hyperspectral data. The developed algorithm extracts the relevant features by both eliminating the irrelevant ones and/or by merging the ones that do not provide extra information on their own. It is implemented on real world data to separate aflatoxin contaminated or high risk hazelnuts from the sound ones by using impact acoustic and hyperspectral data. Impact acoustics data is us...
Image Annotation by Semi-Supervised Clustering Constrained by SIFT Orientation Information Sayar, Ahmet; Yarman-Vural, Fatos T. (2008-10-29) Methods developed for image annotation usually make use of region clustering algorithms. Visual codebooks are generated from the region clusters of low level features. These codebooks are then, matched with the words of the text document related to the image, in various ways. In this paper, we supervise the clustering process by using the orientation information assigned to each interest point of Scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT) features to generate a visual codebook. The orientation information pro...
Image Annotation With Semi-Supervised Clustering Sayar, Ahmet; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay (2009-09-16) Methods developed for image annotation usually make use of region clustering algorithms. Visual codebooks are generated from the region clusters of low level features. These codebooks are then, matched with the words of the text document related to the image, in various ways. In this paper, we supervise the clustering process by using three types of side information. The first one is the topic probability information obtained from the text document associated with the image. The second is the orientation an...
Attitude estimation and magnetometer calibration using reconfigurable TRIAD plus filtering approach Söken, Halil Ersin (Elsevier BV, 2020-04-01) This paper proposes using TRIAD and Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) algorithms in a sequential architecture as a part of a small satellite attitude estimation algorithm. This TRIAD+UKF approach can both provide accurate attitude estimates for the satellite and calibrate the magnetometers in real-time. A complete calibration model for the magnetometers, considering bias, scale factor, soft iron and nonorthogonality errors, is assumed. In the algorithm's first stage, the TRIAD uses the available vector measurem...
Fault tolerant attitude estimation for pico satellites using robust adaptive UKF Söken, Halil Ersin (2012-10-09) Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) is a filtering algorithm which gives sufficiently good estimation results for estimation problems of nonlinear systems even when high nonlinearity is in question. However, in case of system uncertainty or measurements malfunctions the UKF becomes to be inaccurate and diverges by time. This study, introduces a fault tolerant attitude estimation algorithm for pico satellites. The algorithm uses a Robust Adaptive Unscented Kalman Filter (RAUKF) which performs correction for proces...
