In this study, a superresolution method using registered, noisy and down sampled images is presented. Maximum a Posteriori (MAP) method, one of the statistical pixel domain approaches, is used as the superresolution algorithm. Performances of different data fidelity terms and regularization terms used in the literature are shown. In most of the applications the effects that degrade the image frame are assumed to be known completely or known limited. In this application, the performances of the several methods used to find the amount of blur caused by the unfocussed camera lenses are shown and the best method results are used in the superrresolution algorithm. In this way, the error value of superresolved image is decreased.

Interactive Object Segmentation for mono and stereo applications: Geodesic Prior Induced Graph Cut Energy minimization
Tasli, H. Emrah; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (2011-11-13)
This study proposes an interactive multi label object segmentation method and applications on mono and stereo images. The general segmentation problem is approached by an energy minimization on a Markov Random Field (MRF). The minimum energy potential labelling is the primary goal of the multi label segmentation algorithm. User inputs are used to determine object location and geodesic prior induced iterative graph cut energy minimization is used to define object boundaries. Segmented objects on mono images ...
Camera auto-calibration using a sequence of 2D images with small rotations
Hassanpour, R; Atalay, Mehmet Volkan (Elsevier BV, 2004-07-02)
In this study, we describe an auto-calibration algorithm with fixed but unknown camera parameters. We have modified Triggs' algorithm to incorporate known aspect ratio and skew values to make it applicable for small rotation around a single axis. The algorithm despite being a quadratic one is easy to solve. We have applied the algorithm to some artificial objects with known size and dimensions for evaluation purposes. In addition, the accuracy of the algorithm has been verified using synthetic data. The des...
Performance Comparison of Different Sparse Array Configurations for Ultra-Wideband, Near-field Imaging Applications
Cetin, Beyzat Talat; Alatan, Lale (2017-03-24)
The aim of this study is to compare the performance of different multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) array topologies, intended to be used in ultra-wideband (UWB) near-field imaging applications, by using an analysis method that does not include the effects of image reconstruction algorithm. For this purpose, maximum projection method, previously proposed for the analysis of UWB arrays under far-field conditions, is utilized and modified to obtain two way beam patterns of UWB arrays operating in the near-...
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...
Surface Reconstruction from Multiple Images Filtering Non Lambert Regions
BÜYÜATALAY, Soner; BİRGÜL, ÖZLEM; Halıcı, Uğur (2009-09-10)
In this study a new algorithm for 3D surface reconstruction from multiple images using a modified photometric stereo method is proposed and tested. The new algorithm, Filtered Lambert Photometric Stereo (FLPS), determines the non-Lambert pixels in the available images using a linearity test and constructs filtering masks for each image that corresponds to specular and self or cast shadow regions. Then, the photometric stereo is applied after eliminating the points in these masks. Tests carried out on synthe...
