    Raylı sistemlerde yüksek gerilim aksamının otomatik denetimi
    (IEEE, 2014-04-23) Ağdoğan, Didem; Babacan, Veysel Karani; Eskil, Mustafa Taner
    Raylı sistemlerde yolculugun sorunsuz tamamla-nabilmesi için sistem bütünlüğü kritik öneme sahiptir. Sistem bütünlüğü, lokomotif ve vagonlar haricinde katener (yüksek gerilim) hattı, pantograf ve raylara bağlıdır. Katener hattı ve pantograf, lokomotife elektrik iletimini sağlarken rayların seviyesi pantografın elektrik hattına düzenli temasına etki eder. Raylarda oluşabilecek çöküntüler katener hattı ile pantograf arasında ark (kıvılcım) oluşumuna neden olur. Katener hattının pantograf sınırları dışına çıkması, pantografta oluşabilecek çentikler ve ark oluşumu lokomotif üzerinden anlık izlenebilir. Bu çalışmada amacımız, bu üç ögeden kaynaklanabilecek hataları kameralı bir sistemle, gerçek zamanlı ve otomatik izleyerek tren yolculuğunun güvenli ve kesintisiz yapılmasına katkıda bulunmaktır.

    Driver recognition using gaussian mixture models and decision fusion techniques
    (Springer-Verlag Berlin, 2008) Benli, Kristin Surpuhi; Düzağaç, Remzi; Eskil, Mustafa Taner
    In this paper we present our research in driver recognition. The goal of this study is to investigate the performance of different classifier fusion techniques in a driver recognition scenario. We are using solely driving behavior signals such as break and accelerator pedal pressure, engine RPM, vehicle speed; steering wheel angle for identifying the driver identities. We modeled each driver using Gaussian Mixture Models, obtained posterior probabilities of identities and combined these scores using different fixed mid trainable (adaptive) fusion methods. We observed error rates is low as 0.35% in recognition of 100 drivers using trainable combiners. We conclude that the fusion of multi-modal classifier results is very successful in biometric recognition of a person in a car setting.

    Numerical integration methods for simulation of mass-spring-damper systems
    (Springer-Verlag, 2012) Özgüz, Mete; Eskil, Mustafa Taner
    The dynamics of a face are often implemented as a system of connected particles with various forces acting upon them. Animation of such a system requires the approximation of velocity and position of each particle through numerical integration. There are many numerical integrators that are commonly used in the literature. We conducted experiments to determine the suitability of numerical integration methods in approximating the particular dynamics of mass-spring-damper systems. Among Euler, semi-implicit Euler, Runge-Kutta and Leapfrog, we found that simulation with Leapfrog numerical integration characterizes a mass-spring-damper system best in terms of the energy loss of the overall system.

    Palmprint verification using SIFT majority voting
    (Springer-Verlag, 2012) Abeysundera, Hasith Pasindu; Eskil, Mustafa Taner
    In this paper we illustrate the implementation of a robust, real-time biometric system for identity verification based on palmprint images. The palmprint images are preprocessed to align the major axes of hand shapes and to extract the palm region. We extract features using Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT). Classification of individual SIFT features is done through KNN. The class of the hand image is decided by a majority based voting among its classified SIFT features. We demonstrate on the CASIA and PolyU datasets that the proposed system achieves authentication accuracy comparable to other state of the art algorithms.

    Unsupervised textile defect detection using convolutional neural networks
    (Elsevier Ltd, 2021-12) Koulali, Imane; Eskil, Mustafa Taner
    In this study, we propose a novel motif-based approach for unsupervised textile anomaly detection that combines the benefits of traditional convolutional neural networks with those of an unsupervised learning paradigm. It consists of five main steps: preprocessing, automatic pattern period extraction, patch extraction, features selection and anomaly detection. This proposed approach uses a new dynamic and heuristic method for feature selection which avoids the drawbacks of initialization of the number of filters (neurons) and their weights, and those of the backpropagation mechanism such as the vanishing gradients, which are common practice in the state-of-the-art methods. The design and training of the network are performed in a dynamic and input domain-based manner and, thus, no ad-hoc configurations are required. Before building the model, only the number of layers and the stride are defined. We do not initialize the weights randomly nor do we define the filter size or number of filters as conventionally done in CNN-based approaches. This reduces effort and time spent on hyper-parameter initialization and fine-tuning. Only one defect-free sample is required for training and no further labeled data is needed. The trained network is then used to detect anomalies on defective fabric samples. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach on the Patterned Fabrics benchmark dataset. Our algorithm yields reliable and competitive results (on recall, precision, accuracy and f1-measure) compared to state-of-the-art unsupervised approaches, in less time, with efficient training in a single epoch and a lower computational cost.

    Integrating vendors into cooperative design practices
    (Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2009) Eskil, Mustafa Taner; Sticklen, Jon
    This paper describes a new approach to cooperative design using distributed, off-the-shelf design components. The ultimate goal is to enable assemblers to rapidly design their products and perform simulations using parts that are offered by a global network of suppliers. The obvious way to realise this goal would be to transfer desired component models to the client computer. However, in order to protect proprietary data, manufacturers are reluctant to share their design models without non-disclosure agreements, which can take in the order of months to put in place. Due to bandwidth limitations, it is also impractical to keep the models at the manufacturer site and do simulations by simple message passing. To deal with these impediments in e-commerce the modular distributed modelling (MDM) methodology is leveraged, which enables transfer of component models while hiding proprietary implementation details. MDM methodology with routine design (RD) methods are augmented to realise a platform (RD-MDM) that enables automatic selection of secured off-the-shelf design components over the Internet, integration of these components in an assembly, running simulations for design testing and publishing the approved product model as a secured MDM agent. This paper demonstrates the capabilities of the RD-MDM platform on a fuel cell-battery hybrid vehicle design example.

    Nearest neighbor weighted average customization for modeling faces
    (Springer, 2013-10) Abeysundera, Hasith Pasindu; Benli, Kristin Surpuhi; Eskil, Mustafa Taner
    In this paper, we present an anatomically accurate generic wireframe face model and an efficient customization method for modeling human faces. We use a single 2D image for customization of the generic model. We employ perspective projection to estimate 3D coordinates of the 2D facial landmarks in the image. The non-landmark vertices of the 3D model are shifted using the translations of k nearest landmark vertices, inversely weighted by the square of their distances. We demonstrate on Photoface and Bosphorus 3D face data sets that the proposed method achieves substantially low relative error values with modest time complexity.

    Factored particle filtering with dependent and constrained partition dynamics for tracking deformable objects
    (Springer, 2014-10) Eskil, Mustafa Taner
    In particle filtering, dimensionality of the state space can be reduced by tracking control (or feature) points as independent objects, which are traditionally named as partitions. Two critical decisions have to be made in implementation of reduced state-space dimensionality. First is how to construct a dynamic (transition) model for partitions that are inherently dependent. Second critical decision is how to filter partition states such that a viable and likely object state is achieved. In this study, we present a correlation-based transition model and a proposal function that incorporate partition dependency in particle filtering in a computationally tractable manner. We test our algorithm on challenging examples of occlusion, clutter and drastic changes in relative speeds of partitions. Our successful results with as low as 10 particles per partition indicate that the proposed algorithm is both robust and efficient.

    Extraction and selection of muscle based features for facial expression recognition
    (IEEE Computer Soc, 2014-12-04) Benli, Kristin Surpuhi; Eskil, Mustafa Taner
    In this study we propose a new set of muscle activity based features for facial expression recognition. We extract muscular activities by observing the displacements of facial feature points in an expression video. The facial feature points are initialized on muscular regions of influence in the first frame of the video. These points are tracked through optical flow in sequential frames. Displacements of feature points on the image plane are used to estimate the 3D orientation of a head model and relative displacements of its vertices. We model the human skin as a linear system of equations. The estimated deformation of the wireframe model produces an over-determined system of equations that can be solved under the constraint of the facial anatomy to obtain muscle activation levels. We apply sequential forward feature selection to choose the most descriptive set of muscles for recognition of basic facial expressions.

    The routine design-modular distributed modeling platform for distributed routine design and simulation-based testing of distributed assemblies
    (Cambridge University Press, 2008-12-12) Eskil, Mustafa Taner; Sticklen, Jon; Radcliffe, Clark
    In this paper we describe a conceptual framework and implementation of a tool that supports task-directed, distributed routine design (RD) augmented with simulation-based design testing. In our research, we leverage the modular distributed modeling (MDM) methodology to simulate the interaction of design components in an assembly. The major improvement we have made in the RD methodology is to extend it with the capabilities of incorporating remotely represented off-the-shelf components in design and simulation-based testing of a distributed assembly. The deliverable of our research is the RD-MDM platform, which is capable of automatically selecting intellectually protected off the shelf design components over the Internet, integrating these components in an assembly, running simulations for design testing, and publishing the approved design without disclosing the proprietary information.
