Computational imaging is the process of indirectly forming images from measurements using image reconstruction algorithms that solve inverse problems. In many inverse problems in multidimensional imaging such as spectral and depth imaging, the measurements are in the form of superimposed convolutions related to the unknown image. In this thesis, we first provide a general formulation for these problems named as convolutional inverse problems, and then develop fast and efficient image reconstruction algorithms that exploit sparse models in analysis and synthesis forms. These priors involve sparsifying transforms or data-adaptive dictionaries that are patch-based and convolutional. The numerical performance of the developed algorithms is evaluated for a three-dimensional image reconstruction problem in spectral imaging. The results demonstrate the superiority of the convolutional dictionary prior over others. The developed algorithms are also extended to the compressive setting with compressed convolutional measurements.

DEEP LEARNING-BASED UNROLLED RECONSTRUCTION METHODS FOR COMPUTATIONAL IMAGING
Bezek, Can Deniz; Öktem, Sevinç Figen; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2021-9-08)
Computational imaging is the process of forming images from indirect measurements using computation. In this thesis, we develop deep learning-based unrolled reconstruction methods for various computational imaging modalities. Firstly, we develop two deep learning-based reconstruction methods for diffractive multi-spectral imaging. The first approach is based on plug-and-play regularization with deep denoisers whereas the second one is an end-to-end learned reconstruction based on unrolling. Secondly, we con...
Alignment of uncalibrated images for multi-view classification
Arık, Sercan Ömer; Vural, Elif; Frossard, Pascal (2011-12-29)
Efficient solutions for the classification of multi-view images can be built on graph-based algorithms when little information is known about the scene or cameras. Such methods typically require a pairwise similarity measure between images, where a common choice is the Euclidean distance. However, the accuracy of the Euclidean distance as a similarity measure is restricted to cases where images are captured from nearby viewpoints. In settings with large transformations and viewpoint changes, alignment of im...
Image fusion for improving spatial resolution of multispectral satellite images
Ünlüsoy, Deniz; Süzen, Mehmet Lütfi; Department of Geological Engineering (2013)
In this study, four different image fusion techniques have been applied to high spectral and low spatial resolution satellite images with high spatial and low spectral resolution images to obtain fused images with increased spatial resolution, while preserving spectral information as much as possible. These techniques are intensity-hue-saturation (IHS) transform, principle component analysis (PCA), Brovey transform (BT), and Wavelet transform (WT) image fusion. Images used in the study belong to Çankırı reg...
PROGRESSIVE COMPRESSION OF DIGITAL ELEVATION DATA USING MESHES
Kose, Kivanc; Yılmaz, Erdal; ÇETİN, AHMET ENİS (2009-07-17)
In this paper a new Digital Elevation Map (DEM) image compression algorithm is proposed. DEM image can be threated as a grayscale image, whose pixel values are the elevation values of the map points. The grayscale DEM image is compressed using an adaptive wavelet based image compression algorithm. The method, which is an extension of the progressive mesh compression takes advantage of the multiresolution property of the wavelets while coding the map images. This makes it possible to decode different resolut...
End-to-end learned image compression with conditional latent space modelling for entropy coding
Yeşilyurt, Aziz Berkay; Kamışlı, Fatih; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019)
This thesis presents a lossy image compression system based on an end-to-end trainable neural network. Traditional compression algorithms use linear transformation, quantization and entropy coding steps that are designed based on simple models of the data and are aimed to be low complexity. In neural network based image compression methods, the processing steps, such as transformation and entropy coding, are performed using neural networks. The use of neural networks enables transforms or probability models...
