    Teaching aliasing and spectral leakage through the sampling of images
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2019-05-29) Tavşanoğlu, Ahmet Vedat
    Aliasing and spectral leakage are artifacts of sampling and rectangular windowing, respectively, whose manifestations are noticed in both the spatial and frequency domains. This paper aims to provide a classroom example which enables the recognition and mathematical interpretation of such phenomena.

    Construction of the nodal conductance matrix of a planar resistive grid and derivation of the analytical expressions of its eigenvalues and eigenvectors using the Kronecker Product and Sum
    (IEEE, 2016-07-09) Tavşanoğlu, Ahmet Vedat
    This paper considers the task of constructing an (MxN+1)-node rectangular planar resistive grid as: first forming two (MxN+1)-node planar sub-grids; one made up of M of (N+1)-node horizontal, and the other of N of (M+1)-node vertical linear resistive grids, then joining their corresponding nodes. By doing so it is shown that the nodal conductance matrices GH and GV of the two sub-grids can be expressed as the Kronecker products GH = I-M circle times G(N), G(V) = G(M)circle times I-N, and G of the resultant planar grid as the Kronecker sum G = G(N circle plus) G(M), where G(M) and I-M are, respectively, the nodal conductance matrix of a linear resistive grid and the identity matrix, both of size M. Moreover, since the analytical expressions for the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of G(M) - which is a symmetric tridiagonal matrix- are well known, this approach enables the derivation of the analytical expressions of the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of G(H), G(V) and G in terms of those of G(M) and G(N), thereby drastically simplifying their computation and rendering the use of any matrix-inversion-based method unnecessary in the solution of nodal equations of very large grids.

    Sperm morphology analysis with CNN based algorithms
    (IEEE Computer Society, 2014-08-29) Şavkay, Osman Levent; Cesur, Evren; Yalçın, Müştak Erhan; Tavşanoğlu, Ahmet Vedat
    In this paper Morphological Analysis part of our proposed computer-aided sperm analysis system (CASA) is simulated and the results beside the algorithm steps are presented. The morphology analysis is simply dealing with shape of the sperms and extracting the shape characteristics in medical parameters. The characteristics are obtained by image processing algorithms which utilizes Cellular Nanoscale Network (CNN) based and spatial image processing blocks. The following calculation of medical parameters are obtained from the outputs of image processing blocks. The algorithm is so designed to adapt the final SoC architecture such as Xilinx Zynq7000 device.

    New criteria for the existence of stable equilibrium points in nonsymmetric cellular neural networks
    (IEEE, 2003) Özcan, Neyir; Arık, Sabri; Tavşanoğlu, Ahmet Vedat
    A new criteria for the existence of stable equilibrium points in nonsymmetric cellular neural networks (CNN) was presented. It was shown that the results obtained can be used to derive some complete stability conditions for some special classes of CNNs such as positive cell-linking CNNs, opposite-sign CNNs and dominant-template CNNs. The model of the CNN whose dynamical behavior was described by the state equations was discussed.

    Decomposition of the nodal conductance matrix of a planar resistive grid and derivation of its eigenvalues and eigenvectors using the kronecker product and sum with application to cnn image filters
    (IEEE, 2016-12) Tavşanoğlu, Ahmet Vedat
    It is shown that an (M× N)-node planar resistive grid can be decomposed into two sub-grids; one made up of M N-node horizontal and the other of N M-node vertical linear resistive grids which corresponds to decomposing its nodal conductance matrix (NCM) into the Kronecker sum of the NCMs of horizontal and vertical linear grids. This enables the analytical expressions of the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the NCMs of the sub-grids as well as those of the planar resistive grid to be expressed in terms of those of the two linear grids, whose analytical expressions are well known. For a Cellular Neural Network (CNN) Gabor-type filter (GTF) we define generalized nodal conductance matrices (GNCMs) that correspond to the NCMs of the resistive sub-grids, show that each Kronecker decomposition has a counterpart in CNN GTF and prove that each GNCM, its counterpart NCM and the corresponding temporal state matrices are related through unitary diagonal similarity transformations. Consequently, we prove that the eigenvalues of the temporal state matrix of a spatial band-pass CNN GTF are the same as those of its counterpart spatial low-pass CNN image filter, hence their temporal transient behaviors are similar in settling to a forced response.

    A systematic approach to the time-domain computation of the impulse response and post-initial conditions of causal LTI systems at the origin
    (IEEE, 2015) Tavşanoğlu, Ahmet Vedat
    This paper presents a systematic approach to the computation of the impulse response in the time domain at the origin and post-initial conditions of an N-th-order causal SISO LTI system differential equation. It is shown that the solution and its N-1 derivatives of such a differential equation with a unit impulse input in the time interval 0(-) <= t <= 0(+) are singularity functions, each containing one stepwise discontinuity term whose magnitude is one of the N post-initial conditions of the differential equation for t >= 0(+). The approach presented is envisaged to provide a simplified tool not only for the computation but also for the teaching of the impulse response.

    Design of a third generation real-time cellular neural network emulator
    (IEEE, 2014) Yıldız, Nerhun; Cesur, Evren; Tavşanoğlu, Ahmet Vedat
    In this paper, the features of the next generation Real-Time Cellular Neural Network Processor (RTCNNP-v3) are discussed. The RTCNNP-v2 structure is the only CNN implementation that is reported to be capable of processing full-HD 1080p@60 (1920 x 1080 resolution at 60 Hz frame rate) video images in real-time, due to its fully-pipelined architecture, however, it has some weaknesses like the inability to divide the processing in spatial domain, record and recall intermediate results to an external memory and has some issues in its internal memory coding. Those shortcomings are to be addressed in the next design of our CNN emulator - RTCNNP-v3, which will increase the range of applications and enable the implementation to match the requirements of the cutting-edge movie production technologies like UHD (4K) and the future FUHD (8K).

    (IEEE, 2014) Şavkay, Osman Levent; Cesur, Evren; Yıldız, Nerhun; Yalçın, Mustak Erhan; Tavşanoğlu, Ahmet Vedat
    In this paper, hardware optimization of the preprocessing and software implementation of the processing blocks of a computer aided semen analysis (CASA) system are proposed, which is also implemented on an FPGA and ARM device as a working prototype. The software implementation of the track initialization, track maintenance, data validation and classification blocks of the processing part are implemented on a Zynq7000 ARM Cortex-A9 processor. In the preprocessing part, a real-time cellular neural network (CNN) emulator (RTCNNP-v2) is used for the realization of the image processing algorithms, whose regular, flexible and reconfigurable infrastructure simplifies the prototyping process. The CASA system introduced in this paper is capable of processing full-HD 1080p@60 (1080 x 1920) video images in real-time.
