    Pre- and post-fire comparison of forest areas in 3D
    (Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2019) Akça, Mehmet Devrim; Stylianidis, Efstratios; Poli, Daniela; Gruen, Armin W.; Altan, Mehmet Orhan; Hofer, Martin; Smagas, Konstantinos; Martin, Victor Sanchez; Walli, Andreas; Jimeno, Elisa; Garcia, Alejandro
    A satellite processing platform for high resolution forest assessment (FORSAT) was developed. It generates the digital surface models (DSMs) of the forest canopy by advanced processing of the very-high resolution (VHR) optical satellite imagery and automatically matches the pre- and post-fire DSMs for 3D change detection. The FORSAT software system can perform the following tasks: pre-processing, point measurement, orientation, quasi-epipolar image generation, image matching, DSM extraction, orthoimage generation, photogrammetric restitution either in mono-plotting mode or in stereo models, 3D surface matching, co-registration, comparison and change detection. It can thoroughly calculate the planimetric and volumetric changes between the epochs. It supports most of the VHR optical imagery commonly used for civil applications. Capabilities of FORSAT have been tested in two real forest fire cases, where the burned areas are located in Cyprus and Austria. The geometric characteristics of burned forest areas have been identified both in 2D plane and 3D volume dimensions, using pre- and post-fire optical image data from different sensors. The test studies showed that FORSAT is an operational software capable of providing spatial (3D) and temporal (4D) information for monitoring of forest fire areas and sustainable forest management. Beyond the wildfires, it can be used for many other forest information needs.

    On complex solutions of the eikonal equation
    (IEEE, 2007) Hasanoğlu, Elman
    In this paper a new approach of complex rays in an inhomogeneous medium is presented. Complex rays are complex solutions of the eikonal equation, the main equation of the geometical optics. It is shown that solving the eikonal equation by using the characteristic method naturally leads to the pseudoriemann and Minkowski geometries. In framework of these geometries complex rays , like the real ones, can be drawn in real space and they may have caustics, and caustics also can be drawn in real space.

    On the realization of optical mappings and transformation of amplitudes by means of an aspherical "thick" lens
    (Gustav Fischer Verlag, 2000) Hasanoğlu, Elman; Polat, Burak Deniz
    The constraints for the realization of a given optical mapping by means of an aspherical ''thick" lens are investigated by using the laws of geometrical optics. The analysis yields us a partial differential equation which the optical mapping functions must satisfy as a necessary and sufficient condition. It is shown that thick lenses, which convert plane waves to plane waves, can be considered as a pure amplitude element, An interesting feature of this equation is that it does not involve the lens profiles. The problem of realization is later discussed for some special mappings and graphical illustrations of the aspherical lens profiles for a linear mapping are presented.

    Two reflector non symmetric shaped antenna systems
    (IEEE, 2000) Hasanoğlu, Elman
    Two reflector antenna systems with non symmetric reflecting surfaces under GO approximation are investigated. It is shown, that the problem of forming desired far field pattern leades to solving the system of partial differential equations with respect to mapping functions between wave fronts. One of these equations is non linear and expresses energy conversation law. It is shown that this equation can be solved separetly in the class of non smooth functions which has a discontinuty of first kind along a given curve.

    Beam tracing theory in Minkowski space
    (IEEE, 2011) Hasanoğlu, Elman
    This paper provides a novel approach to beam theory in homogeneous lossless mediun. The main idea is to interpret the classic eikonal equation in three dimensional Minkowski space.
