Yayın Calculating the VC-dimension of decision trees(IEEE, 2009) Aslan, Özlem; Yıldız, Olcay Taner; Alpaydın, Ahmet İbrahim EthemWe propose an exhaustive search algorithm that calculates the VC-dimension of univariate decision trees with binary features. The VC-dimension of the univariate decision tree with binary features depends on (i) the VC-dimension values of the left and right subtrees, (ii) the number of inputs, and (iii) the number of nodes in the tree. From a training set of example trees whose VC-dimensions are calculated by exhaustive search, we fit a general regressor to estimate the VC-dimension of any binary tree. These VC-dimension estimates are then used to get VC-generalization bounds for complexity control using SRM in decision trees, i.e., pruning. Our simulation results shows that SRM-pruning using the estimated VC-dimensions finds trees that are as accurate as those pruned using cross-validation.Yayın On the effect of random sampling jitter on cyclostationarity based spectrum sensing algorithms for cognitive radio(IEEE, 2009) Öner, Mustafa MengüçCognitive radio is an enabling technology, which is expected to lead to a more efficient utilization of the available spectral resources due to its flexibility and its ability to sense its spectral environment. Recently, spectrum sensing methods based on exploiting the cyclostationary characteristics of communication signals have been drawing considerable interest. Imperfections in the cognitive radio receiver that affect the cyclic statistics of a signal of interest may lead to a degradation in the performance of spectrum sensing algorithms based on cyclostationarity. One such typical source of imperfection is random timing jitter in the sampling process. In this work, we explore the effect of random sampling jitter on the second order cyclostationary statistics of wide sense cyclostationary signals. General analytical expressions are derived for the cyclic statistics of sampled signals in the presence of sampling jitter and specific results are provided for two cases of interest. Subsequently, the effect of the jitter on a spectrum sensing algorithm is investigated via simulations.Yayın Mülteci barınaklarının uydu görüntülerinden çoklu-sınıflı çizge-kesme bölütleme ve gölge bilgisi kullanılarak otomatik sezimi(IEEE, 2014-04-23) Kucur Ergünay, Şerife Seda; Kahraman, Fatih; Ateş, Hasan FehmiBu çalışmada, mülteci kamplarında bulunan yaşam alanlarının/barınakların (çadır, konteynır vb.) uydu ve hava görüntülerinden otomatik olarak sezimi ve sayımına yönelik bir yöntem tanıtılmaktadır. Mülteci kamplarındaki barınakların çok yüksek çözünürlüklü (VHR) görüntülerde dahi çok küçük boyuta sahip, belli bir alanda çok sık ve bazen karmaşık şekilde yerleştirilmiş ve arkaplan ile ayrıştırılması zor nesnelere denk geliyor olması otomatik barınak/çadır sezim ve sayımını zorlaştırmaktadır. Bahsedilen problemin çözümüne yönelik olarak çok sınıflı çizge-kesme (graph-cut) bölütlemesi ve gölge bilgisinin kullanıldığı özgün bir yöntem çalışma kapsamında önerilmektedir. Buna göre, ilk adımda çizge-kesme bölütleme yöntemi ve morfoloji işlemleri uygulanarak çadır sezimi yapılmıştır. Bu adımda sezilememiş çadırların bulunabilmesi için ikinci bir adımda çadırların gölge bilgisinden faydalanılmıştır. En son adımda gradyan-tabanlı eşikleme yöntemi ile yanlış tespitlerin elenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Önerilen yöntem, özellikle karmaşık yerleşim düzenine sahip mülteci kampları (çadırkent) üzerinde test edilmiştir. Yöntemin başarımı kesinlik (precision) ve geri getirme (recall) kriterlerine göre belirlenmiştir. Elde edilen ortalama kesinlik ve geri getirme başarımları sırasıyla %91.9 ve %90.0 olup problemin zorluğu göz önünde bulundurulduğunda umut vadedici bir sonuçtur.Yayın Phased subarray imaging for low-cost, wideband coherent array imaging(IEEE, 2003) Johnson, Jeremy A.; Oralkan, Ömer; Ergün, Arif Sanlı; Demirci, Utkan; Karaman, Mustafa; Khuri-Yakub, Butrus ThomasThe front-end hardware complexity of conventional full phased array (FPA) imaging is proportional to the number of array elements. Phased subarray (PSA) imaging has been proposed as a method of reducing the hardware complexity-and therefore system cost and size-while achieving near-FPA image quality. A new method is presented for designing the subarray-dependent interpolation filters suitable for wideband PSA imaging. The method was tested experimentally using pulse-echo data of a wire target phantom acquired using a 3.2-cm. 128-element capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT) array with 85% fractional bandwidth at 3 MHz. A specific PSA configuration using seven 32-element subarrays was compared to FPA imaging, representing a 4-fold reduction in front-end hardware complexity and a 43% decrease in frame rate. For targets near the fixed transmit focal distance, the mean 6-dB lateral resolution was identical to that of FPA, the axial resolution improved by 4%, and the SNR decreased by 5 dB. Measurements were repeated for 10 different PSA configurations with subarray sizes ranging from 4 to 60. The lateral and axial resolutions did not vary significantly with subarray size; both the SNR and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) improved with increased subarray size.Yayın A global optimal control methodology and its application to a mobile robot model(Elsevier B.V., 2016) Dinçmen, ErkinA global optimal control algorithm is developed and applied to an omni-directional mobile robot model. The aim is to search and find the most intense signal source among other signal sources in the operation region of the robot. In other words, the control problem is to find the global extremum point when there are local extremas. The locations of the signal sources are unknown and it is assumed that the signal magnitudes are maximum at the sources and their magnitudes are decreasing away from the sources. The distribution characteristics of the signals are unknown, i.e. the gradients of the signal distribution functions are unknown. The control algorithm also doesn't need any position measurement of the robot itself. Only the signal magnitude should be measured via a sensor mounted on the robot. The simulation study shows the performance of the controller.Yayın A New speech coding algorithm using zero cross and phoneme based SYMPES(IEEE, 2013-07-11) Şişman, Burak; Güz, Ümit; Gürkan, Hakan; Yarman, Bekir Sıddık BinboğaIn this work, a new low bit rate hybrid speech coding approach which combines the benefits of the SYMPES (Systematic Procedure for Predefined Envelope and Signature Sequences) and zero cross and phoneme based segmentation is proposed. In the new approach, the SYMPES structure is developed in the phoneme based fashion. In order to achieve lower bit rates, some drawbacks such as computational complexity, relatively high encoding times etc. of the SYMPES are also eliminated in the new version. Experimental results show that in almost same bit rates very promising speech quality is obtained compared to the other conventional methods such as CELP (Code Excited Linear Predictive) coding algorithm.Yayın A precision estimation method for volumetric changes(IEEE, 2019-06) Akça, Mehmet Devrim; Stylianidis, Efstratios; Gruen, Armin W.; Altan, Mehmet Orhan; Hofer, Martin; Smagas, Konstantinos; Sanchez Martin, Victor; Walli, Andreas; Jimeno, Elisa; Garcia, AlejandroEarth surface changes are often computed by comparing the sequences of digital elevation models (DEMs) so called the DEM of difference (DoD) method. We present an operational DEM generation, co-registration and DoD comparison software in which the surface changes are quantified in metric units of volume. A practical method, which is based on the law of error propagation, is developed to estimate the theoretical precisions of volumetric changes. The proposed pipeline can estimate the change of object volumes (in terms of loss and gain) together with their precision numbers. Change of the forest volume in a fire effected region in a test site is analyzed for the validation. The method can be used for various change detection applications related to forestry as well as other topics such as earthworks, geomorphology, mining, and urbanization.Yayın 2W wideband microwave PA design for 824-2170 MHz band using normalized gain function method(IEEE, 2013) Köprü, Ramazan; Kuntman, Hulusi Hakan; Yarman, Bekir Sıddık BinboğaIn this work, we present the design of a 2W linear wideband microwave PA (power amplifier) targeted to operate in 824-2170 MHz mobile frequency range covering GSM850, EGSM, DCS, PCS and WCDMA. The design is basically based on the NGF (Normalized Gain Function) method which is very recently introduced into the literature. NGF is defined as the ratio of T and |S-21|(2), i.e. T-NGF= T/|S-21|(2), shape of the gain function of the amplifier to be designed and the shape of the transistor forward gain function, respectively. Synthesis of input/output matching networks (IMN/OMN) of the amplifier requires target gain functions, which are mathematically generated in terms of TNGF. The particular transistor used in the design is FP31QF, a 2W HFET from TriQuint Semiconductor. Theoretical PA performance obtained in Matlab is shown to be in a very high agreement with the simulated performance in MWO (Microwave Office) of AWR Inc.Yayın Introducing professional skills during unit operations laboratory(American Society for Engineering Education, 2011-06-26) Rende, Sevinç; Rende, Deniz; Baysal, NihatUnit operations laboratory (UOL) course is considered to be a crucial and integral part of the chemical engineering education. The primary objective of the course is to enable students to combine theory and practice. Problems in industry however entail more than finding technical solutions. Indeed professional life requires other skills such as an ability to propose ideas, develop practical solutions, participate in teamwork, meet deadlines, establish communication between technical support and suppliers, oversee financial issues, and finally reporting and presentation skills. This study describes how in three consecutive courses, we preserve academic rigor of the UOL course while incorporating components such as experimental design, project development and teamwork, which aim to meet the needs of professional careers. We follow up the course outcomes with a survey targeting the graduates of the program. The results show that graduates employed in industry frequently rely on these skills during job interviews, research and product development, whereas those who pursue advanced degrees in academia use these skills predominantly for their research, highlighting the need for adaptive approach for different graduate trajectories in designing the course. For both groups of graduates, the skills introduced during the UOL courses are reported to be valuable in their daily life, emphasizing life-long learning.Yayın A function of direction in a Weyl subspace associated with a set of orthogonal vector fields(World Scientific Publ Co Pte Ltd, 2003) Özdeğer, AbdülkadirLet W-m be an m-dimensional subspace of an n-dimensional Weyl space W-n. Suppose that (1)v, (2)v,..., (m)v are mutually orthogonal smooth vector fields in W-m and that v is a non-tangential smooth vector field defined on W-m. Consider the (m + 1)-dimensional net delta defined by (1)v, (2)v, ..., (m)v, v. In this work, we obtain a function of direction associated with the net delta and define a class of curves on W-m in relation to this function of direction.
