Underwater is a complex structured environment because of inhomogeneous light absorption and light scattering by the environment. These factors make 3D reconstruction in underwater more challenging. In the literature, only calibrated cameras and predefined camera motions are allowed for 3D reconstruction. In this study, 3D representation of underwater scenes are reconstructed from uncalibrated video sequences.3D reconstruction consists Of the following stages: Image enhancement, feature defection and matching, fundamental matrix estimation, auto-calibration, recovery of extrinsic parameters, rectification, stereo matching and dense reconstruction. In this paper, various algorithms are implemented for each stage and the best performing ones for underwater applications are defined. As a result, a single camera based automatic 3D modelling system, which is reads, to be used in underwater applications, is developed.

Physical control of the spatial and temporal diversity of microbial mats at a shallow water hydrothermal vent Giovannelli, Donato; Foustoukos, Dionysis; Le Bris, Nadine; Sievert, Stefan; Yücel, Mustafa; Dalessandro, Valerio; Ricci, Renato; Vetriani, Costantino (null; 2016-07-01) Shallow-water hydrothermal vents are ubiquitous but poorly studied geothermal environments. The active hydrothermal emissions of the Milos hydrothermal system support complex microbial mats, which are fundamental in engineering the environmental niche in which extremophiles thrive. Because of the shallow depth, the mat community is wiped out during every major storm, when swell and wave action increase, and then it reconstitutes itself over a brief period of time (days). Here we report the results of a join...
Neural network prediction of tsunami parameters in the aegean and Marmara Seas Erdurmaz, Muammer Sercan; Ergin, Ayşin; Department of Civil Engineering (2004) Tsunamis are characterized as shallow water waves, with long periods and wavelengths. They occur by a sudden water volume displacement. Earthquake is one of the main reasons of a tsunami development. Historical data for an observation period of 3500 years starting from 1500 B.C. indicates that approximately 100 tsunamis occurred in the seas neighboring Turkey. Historical earthquake and tsunami data were collected and used to develop two artificial neural network models to forecast tsunami characteristics fo...
Geographic patterns of elemental deposition in the Aegean region of Turkey indicated by the lichen, Xanthoria parietina (L.) Th. Fr. Yenisoy-Karakas, S; Tuncel, Süleyman Gürdal (2004-08-15) Lichen samples from different parts of the world have been known to accumulate elements to a greater degree than higher plants, if they are exposed to these elements from the atmosphere or from water and sediments. It has been hypothesized that lichens can be used to monitor air pollution around point and area emission sources. Local variation (variation in substrate, age and morphology of lichen samples) of element concentrations would not be large enough to affect the concentration patterns in large areas...
BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS OF TERAHERTZ TIME-DOMAIN ATTENUATED TOTAL REFLECTION SPECTROSCOPY Gelgeç, Melis; Altan, Hakan; Department of Physics (2022-8-25) In this thesis, a Terahertz Attenuated Total Reflection Time Domain Spectroscopy (THz ATR-TDS) system was constructed to measure biological media. The constructed system driven by a Yb:doped mode-locked fiber laser had a limited bandwidth of about 0.3 THz. This bandwidth limited the analysis of various samples in the frequency domain. To overcome this limitation a method was developed so that the samples can be analyzed in the time-domain. Oral soft tissue samples collected were used in order to demonstrate...
Trace metal composition of particulate matter in the water column and sediments of the Black Sea and regional rivers Yiğiterhan, Oğuz; Yemenicioğlu, Semal; Department of Chemical Oceanography (2005) The Black Sea, with its oxic, suboxic and anoxic layers, provides a unique environment for studying how biological and geochemical processes affect the composition of particulate matter. The elemental composition of particles in the Black Sea is controlled by their origin and sources. Particles from rivers are dominated by aluminosilicate material that has compositions similar to the earth̕s crust. In general this material is relatively unreactive. Biological processes in the upper oxic and suboxic layers o...
