Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Catadioptric Hyperspectral Imaging, an Unmixing Approach(Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2020) Özışık Başkurt, Didem; Baştanlar, Yalın; Yardımcı Çetin, YaseminHyperspectral imaging systems provide dense spectral information on the scene under investigation by collecting data from a high number of contiguous bands of the electromagnetic spectrum. The low spatial resolutions of these sensors frequently give rise to the mixing problem in remote sensing applications. Several unmixing approaches are developed in order to handle the challenging mixing problem on perspective images. On the other hand, omnidirectional imaging systems provide a 360-degree field of view in a single image at the expense of lower spatial resolution. In this study, we propose a novel imaging system which integrates hyperspectral cameras with mirrors so on to yield catadioptric omnidirectional imaging systems to benefit from the advantages of both modes. Catadioptric images, incorporating a camera with a reflecting device, introduce radial warping depending on the structure of the mirror used in the system. This warping causes a non-uniformity in the spatial resolution which further complicates the unmixing problem. In this context, a novel spatial-contextual unmixing algorithm specifically for the large field of view of the hyperspectral imaging system is developed. The proposed algorithm is evaluated on various real-world and simulated cases. The experimental results show that the proposed approach outperforms compared methods.Article Citation - WoS: 9Citation - Scopus: 13Training Cnns With Image Patches for Object Localisation(Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2018) Orhan, Semih; Baştanlar, YalınRecently, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have shown great performance in different problems of computer vision including object detection and localisation. A novel training approach is proposed for CNNs to localise some animal species whose bodies have distinctive patterns such as leopards and zebras. To learn characteristic patterns, small patches which are taken from different body parts of animals are used to train models. To find object location, in a test image, all locations are visited in a sliding window fashion. Crops are fed into trained CNN and their classification scores are combined into a heat map. Later on, heat maps are converted to bounding box estimates for varying confidence scores. The localisation performance of the patch-based training approach is compared with Faster R-CNN – a state-of-the-art CNN-based object detection and localisation method. Experimental results reveal that the patch-based training outperforms Faster R-CNN, especially for classes with distinctive patterns.
