    Co-registration of 3d point clouds by using an errors-in-variables model
    (Copernicus Gesellschaft MBH, 2012-08-25) Aydar, Umut; Altan, Mehmet Orhan; Akyılmaz, Orhan; Akça, Mehmet Devrim
    Co-registration of point clouds of partially scanned objects is the first step of the 3D modeling workflow. The aim of co-registration is to merge the overlapping point clouds by estimating the spatial transformation parameters. In the literature, one of the most popular methods is the ICP (Iterative Closest Point) algorithm and its variants. There exist the 3D least squares (LS) matching methods as well. In most of the co-registration methods, the stochastic properties of the search surfaces are usually omitted. This omission is expected to be minor and does not disturb the solution vector significantly. However, the a posteriori covariance matrix will be affected by the neglected uncertainty of the function values. This causes deterioration in the realistic precision estimates. In order to overcome this limitation, we propose a new method where the stochastic properties of both (template and search) surfaces are considered under an errors-in-variables (EIV) model. The experiments have been carried out using a close range laser scanning data set and the results of the conventional and EIV types of the ICP matching methods have been compared.

    Modeling and simulation support to the defense planning process
    (Sage Publications Inc, 2017-04-01) Çayırcı, Erdal; Özçakır, Lütfü
    Defense planning is a crucial part of the defense process. It identifies the capabilities required for the future defense environment, analyzes the capability shortfalls, prioritizes them, and provides the fundamental inputs for their development. Modeling and simulation may significantly contribute to the success of defense planning. However, neither the theory nor the tools are mature enough to fulfill the defense planning requirements. Various types of simulation tools, such as static, dynamic, deterministic, stochastic, closed, discrete, continuous, and symbiotic, in multiple levels of resolution and fidelity are needed to support the different stages and phases. The verification and validation of the models and the analysis of the input and output data are critical. Yet another challenge is that the uncertainties related to the contemporary defense scenarios are mostly not in aleatory but in the epistemic domain. In this paper, we briefly present a new computer-assisted defense planning process. Then, we introduce the service-oriented cloud approach for the modeling and simulation support to the process.

    Maintenance policy simulation for a factored partially observable system
    (The Society for Modeling and Simulation International, 2019-07) Özgür Ünlüakın, Demet; Kıvanç, İpek
    Taking maintenance decisions is one of the well-known stochastic sequential decision problems under uncertainty. Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes (POMDPs) are powerful tools for such problems. Nevertheless, POMDPs are rarely used for tackling maintenance problems of multi-component systems because their state spaces grow exponentially with the increasing number of components. Factored representations have been proposed for POMDPs taking advantage of the factored structure already available in the nature of the problem. Our aim in this study is to show how to formulate a factored POMDP model for the maintenance problem of a multi-component dynamic system and how to simulate and evaluate the obtained policy before implementing it in real life. The sensitivity of the methodology is analyzed under several cost values, and the methodology is compared to other predefined policies. The results show that the policies generated via the POMDP solver perform better than the predefined policies.
