    Hyperspectral Image Compression Using an Online Learning Method
    (Spie-int Soc Optical Engineering, 2015) Ulku, Irem; Toreyin, B. Ugur
    A hyperspectral image compression method is proposed using an online dictionary learning approach. The online learning mechanism is aimed at utilizing least number of dictionary elements for each hyperspectral image under consideration. In order to meet this "sparsity constraint", basis pursuit algorithm is used. Hyperspectral imagery from AVIRIS datasets are used for testing purposes. Effects of non-zero dictionary elements on the compression performance are analyzed. Results indicate that, the proposed online dictionary learning algorithm may be utilized for higher data rates, as it performs better in terms of PSNR values, as compared with the state-of-the-art predictive lossy compression schemes.

    Comparison of Single Channel Indices for U-Net Based Segmentation of Vegetation in Satellite Images
    (Spie-int Soc Optical Engineering, 2020) Ulku, Irem; Barmpoutis, Panagiotis; Stathaki, Tania; Akagunduz, Erdem
    Hyper-spectral satellite imagery, consisting of multiple visible or infrared bands, is extremely dense and weighty for deep operations. Regarding problems related to vegetation as, more specifically, tree segmentation, it is difficult to train deep architectures due to lack of large-scale satellite imagery. In this paper, we compare the success of different single channel indices, which are constructed from multiple bands, for the purpose of tree segmentation in a deep convolutional neural network ( CNN) architecture. The utilized indices are either hand-crafted such as excess green index (ExG) and normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) or reconstructed from the visible bands using feature space transformation methods such as principle component analysis (PCA). For comparison, these features are fed to an identical CNN architecture, which is a standard U-Net-based symmetric encoder-decoder design with hierarchical skip connections and the segmentation success for each single index is recorded. Experimental results show that single bands, which are constructed from the vegetation indices and space transformations, can achieve similar segmentation performances as compared to that of the original multi-channel case.

    Automatic Detection of Mitochondria From Electron Microscope Tomography Images: a Curve Fitting Approach
    (Spie-int Soc Optical Engineering, 2014) Mumcuoglu, Erkan U.; Perkins, Guy; Martone, Maryann; Tasel, Serdar F.; Hassanpour, Reza
    Mitochondria are sub-cellular components which are mainly responsible for synthesis of adenosine tri-phosphate (ATP) and involved in the regulation of several cellular activities such as apoptosis. The relation between some common diseases of aging and morphological structure of mitochondria is gaining strength by an increasing number of studies. Electron microscope tomography (EMT) provides high-resolution images of the 3D structure and internal arrangement of mitochondria. Studies that aim to reveal the correlation between mitochondrial structure and its function require the aid of special software tools for manual segmentation of mitochondria from EMT images. Automated detection and segmentation of mitochondria is a challenging problem due to the variety of mitochondrial structures, the presence of noise, artifacts and other sub-cellular structures. Segmentation methods reported in the literature require human interaction to initialize the algorithms. In our previous study, we focused on 2D detection and segmentation of mitochondria using an ellipse detection method. In this study, we propose a new approach for automatic detection of mitochondria from EMT images. First, a preprocessing step was applied in order to reduce the effect of non-mitochondrial sub-cellular structures. Then, a curve fitting approach was presented using a Hessian-based ridge detector to extract membrane-like structures and a curve-growing scheme Finally, an automatic algorithm was employed to detect mitochondria which are represented by a subset of the detected curves. The results show that the proposed method is more robust in detection of mitochondria in consecutive EMT slices as compared with our previous automatic method.

    Performance Analysis of Mimo Fso Systems With Radial Array Beams and Finite Sized Detectors
    (Spie-int Soc Optical Engineering, 2014) Kamacioglu, Canan; Uysal, Murat; Baykal, Yahya; Gokce, Muhsin C.; Kamacıoğlu, Canan
    Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems are employed in free space optical (FSO) links to mitigate the degrading effects of atmospheric turbulence. In this paper, we consider a MIMO FSO system with practical transmitter and receiver configurations that consists of a radial laser array with Gaussian beams and finite sized detectors. We formulate the average received intensity and the power scinitillation as a function of the receiver coordinates in the presence of weak atmospheric turbulence by using the extended Huygens-Fresnel principle. Then, integrations over the finite sized multiple detectors are performed and the effect of the receiver aperture averaging is quantified. We further derive an outage probability expression of this MIMO system in the presence of turbulence-induced fading channels. Using the derived expressions, we demonstrate the effect of several practical system parameters such as the ring radius, the number of array beamlets, the source size, the link length, structure constant and the receiver aperture radius on the system performance.

    Propagation of Cross Beams Through Atmospheric Turbulence
    (Spie-int Soc Optical Engineering, 2005) Yenice, YE; Eyyuboglu, HT; Baykal, Y; Venice, Yusuf E.
    Propagation properties of cross beam in turbulent medium are studied. A cross beam is constructed by the sum of two highly asymmetric Gaussian beams placed along transverse axes. It is known that such beams, when propagating in free space, will exhibit contrasting diffraction behaviours; they expand widely in one axis, while they are almost nondiffracting in the other axis within useful link lengths. This behaviour allows detecting the two components and a sum component if desired separately with a practical multiaperture receiver. Bearing in mind that this property can be exploited for a diversity scheme, our present work focuses on the propagation of such beams in turbulent atmosphere. To this end, starting with a source field expression of the cross beam, the second order mutual coherence function is formulated at the receiver plane. Intensity plots describing the dependence on the source and propagation parameters on the receiver plane are provided. The results tend to confirm the applicability of the concept provided the design parameters are appropriately chosen. For a decisive assessment, however, turbulence-induced beam wander must also be examined.

    Rate Averaging in Free Space Optics Systems Using Incoherent Sources
    (Spie-int Soc Optical Engineering, 2004) Baykal, Y
    Effect of the information rate on the scintillation index is examined for free space optical (FSO) broadband access applications that use spatially incoherent sources. For this purpose, intensity fluctuations are formulated indicating the effect of the rate on the scintillation index in the presence of the atmospheric turbulence. The bandwidth of modulation of the incoherent source is taken to be much smaller than the carrier frequency, i.e., narrowband approximation is employed. Rate averaging factor for spatially incoherent source is derived as to represent the averaging in weak atmospheric turbulence due to rate of modulation of the intensity. It is found that the scintillations decrease as the rate of transmission through atmospheric turbulence increases. This decrease is independent of the carrier wavelength of the FSO system but depends on the outer scale of turbulence. Up to 10 Gbps, the decrease is negligible for realistic outer scale values. When extremely large eddies are present in the formation of turbulence, rate can be effective in the reduction of the scintillations even at rates up to 10 Gbps. In the limit when the information rate is taken as zero, our results correctly reduce to the known scintillations for spatially incoherent monochromatic excitation.

    Cosine-Gaussian Laser Beam Intensity in Turbulent Atmosphere
    (Spie-int Soc Optical Engineering, 2004) Eyyuboglu, HT; Baykal, Y
    The effects of turbulent atmosphere on cosine-Gaussian laser beams are examined. To this end, a cosine-Gaussian excitation is taken at the source plane, and subsequently the average intensity profile at the receiver plane is formulated. Our formulation correctly reduces to the known Gaussian beam wave result in turbulence and the cosine-Gaussian beam solution in free space (in the absence of turbulence). Variation of the average intensity profile of the receiver plane is evaluated and plotted against the variations of link length, turbulence levels, two frequently used free space optics (FSO) wavelenaths and beam displacement parameters. From these results, it is seen that cosine-Gaussian beam, following the natural diffraction, is eventually transformed into a hyperbolic-cosine Gaussian beam. Hence, the beam energy becomes concentrated around two main lobes at the receiver plane. Combining our earlier result with the findings of this paper, we conclude that cosine-Gaussian and hyperbolic-cosine-Gaussian beam act in a reciprocal manner after having C, propagated. This rneans, starting with a cosine-Gaussian beam excitation, we obtain hyperbolic-cosine-Gaussian distribution at the receiver plane, whereas hyperbolic-cosine-Gaussian beam excitation will yield a cosine-Gaussian distribution. This reciprocity is applicable both in free space and in turbulence.

    Propagation of Elegant Higher-Order Gaussian Beams in Turbulent Atmosphere
    (Spie-int Soc Optical Engineering, 2010) Wang, Fei; Cai, Yangjian; Eyyuboglu, Halil T.; Baykal, Yahya
    Propagation of elegant higher-order Gaussian beams in turbulent atmosphere is studied in detail. Analytical propagation formulae of elegant higher-order Gaussian beams in turbulent atmosphere are derived based on extended Huygens-Fresnel integral. The intensity and spreading properties of elegant higher-order Gaussian beams and standard higher-order Gaussian beams in turbulent atmosphere are studied numerically and comparatively. It is found that the propagation properties of elegant higher-order Gaussian beams and standard higher-order Gaussian beams are much different from their properties in free space The standard higher-order Gaussian beams spread more rapidly than the elegant higher-order Gaussian beams in turbulent atmosphere.

    Beam Wander Characteristics of Flat-Topped, Dark Hollow, Cos and Cosh-Gaussian, J0- and I0- Bessel Gaussian Beams Propagating in Turbulent Atmosphere: a Review
    (Spie-int Soc Optical Engineering, 2010) Eyyuboglu, Halil T.; Baykal, Yahya; Cil, Celal Z.; Korotkova, Olga; Cai, Yangjian
    In this paper we review our work done in the evaluations of the root mean square (rms) beam wander characteristics of the flat-topped, dark hollow, cos-and cosh Gaussian, J(0)-Bessel Gaussian and the I-0-Bessel Gaussian beams in atmospheric turbulence. Our formulation is based on the wave-treatment approach, where not only the beam sizes but the source beam profiles are taken into account as well. In this approach the first and the second statistical moments are obtained from the Rytov series under weak atmospheric turbulence conditions and the beam size are determined as a function of the propagation distance. It is found that after propagating in atmospheric turbulence, under certain conditions, the collimated flat-topped, dark hollow, cos-and cosh Gaussian, J(0)-Bessel Gaussian and the I-0-Bessel Gaussian beams have smaller rms beam wander compared to that of the Gaussian beam. The beam wander of these beams are analyzed against the propagation distance, source spot sizes, and against specific beam parameters related to the individual beam such as the relative amplitude factors of the constituent beams, the flatness parameters, the beam orders, the displacement parameters, the width parameters, and are compared against the corresponding Gaussian beam.

    Intensity Fluctuations of Incoherently Superposed Gaussian Beams in Atmospheric Turbulence
    (Spie-int Soc Optical Engineering, 2010) Baykal, Yahya
    Intensity fluctuations of incoherently superposed Gaussian beams are formulated in weak turbulence by employing the extended Huygens-Fresnel principle. Each individual beam superposed is taken to be fully incoherent. The scintillation index evaluated for different number of beams indicates that as the number of beams increase, scintillations decrease. Incoherent superposition of smaller sized Gaussian sources exhibits smaller fluctuations. Comparing the scintillation index arising from incoherently superposed Gaussian beams to the scintillation index of coherently superposed Gaussian beams of the same structure shows that incoherent superposition yields lower intensity fluctuations, thus can be advantageous in atmospheric optical communication links.
