The quantization levels, which forms an important basis for video coding, are mainly determined for 8-bit image representation and for low dynamic range (LDR) typical displays with a luminance level of 100-500 cd/ m 2 . The quantization levels have not been studied until now for high luminance patterns and high dynamic range (HDR) displays, which can reach up to 4000 cd/m 2 . In this study, an HDR display based perceptual experimental method is proposed in order to determine just noticeable quantization levels for discrete cosine transform (DCT) coefficients on high luminance images. The proposed method first render the quantization noise patterns for different DCT frequencies at different mean luminance levels on HDR display by estimating the pixel values of LED and LCD layers of the display. Then, the quantization levels are determined by a geometric search based two alternative forced choice procedure, which randomly presents the luminance patterns with and without quantization noise at different amplitudes to the subjects at different intervals. The first results are obtained for 30 DCT frequencies with a mean luminance of 1000 cd/m 2 over 3 subjects and discussed with respect to frequency changes.

A Gamut-Mapping Framework for Color-Accurate Reproduction of HDR Images SİKUDOVA, Elena; POULİ, Tania; ARTUSİ, Alessandro; Akyüz, Ahmet Oğuz; BANTERLE, Francesco; Mazlumoglu, Zeynep Miray; REİNHARD, Erik (2016-07-01) An integrated gamut- and tone-management framework for color-accurate reproduction of high dynamic range images can prevent hue and luminance shifts while taking gamut boundaries into consideration. The proposed approach is conceptually and computationally simple, parameter-free, and compatible with existing tone-mapping operators.
Visibility of dct quantization noise for high dynamic range images. Sözer, Sevim Begü; Akyüz, Ahmet Oğuz; Department of Computer Engineering (2019) Discrete cosine transform (DCT) is one of the fundamental stages, which is widely used and studied in lossy image compression. This technique aims to generate a minimum visible distortion in an image with respect to human visual system (HVS). The studies until now propose DCT quantization matrices for low dynamic range (LDR) images to display on LDR monitors. In this thesis research, the visibility of DCT quantization noise is studied for high dynamic range (HDR) images. High luminance patterns for DCT quan...
A High Performance PWM Algorithm for Common Mode Voltage Reduction in Three-phase Voltage Source Inverters Uen, Emre; Hava, Ahmet Masum (2008-06-19) A high performance PWM algorithm with reduced common mode voltage (CMV) and satisfactory overall performance is proposed for three-phase PWM inverter drives. The algorithm combines the near state PWM (NSPWM) method which has superior overall performance characteristics at high modulation index and MAZSPWM, a modified form of the active zero state PWM method (AZSPWM1), which is suitable for low modulation index range of operation. Since AZSPWM1 has line-to-line voltage pulse reversals with small zero-voltage...
Automatic saturation correction for dynamic range management algorithms Artusi, Alessandro; POULİ, Tania; BANTERLE, Francesco; Akyüz, Ahmet Oğuz (2018-04-01) High dynamic range (HDR) images require tone reproduction to match the range of values to the capabilities of a display. For computational reasons and given the absence of fully calibrated imagery, rudimentary color reproduction is often added as a post-processing step rather than integrated into tone reproduction algorithms. In the general case, this currently requires manual parameter tuning, and can be automated only for some global tone reproduction operators by inferring parameters from the tone curve....
An embedding technique to determine tau tau backgrounds in proton-proton collision data Sirunyan, A. M.; et. al. (IOP Publishing, 2019-06-01) An embedding technique is presented to estimate standard model ττ backgrounds from data with minimal simulation input. In the data, the muons are removed from reconstructed μμ events and replaced with simulated tau leptons with the same kinematic properties. In this way, a set of hybrid events is obtained that does not rely on simulation except for the decay of the tau leptons. The challenges in describing the underlying event or the production of associated jets in the simulation are avoided. The technique...
