Three-Channel Control Architecture For Multilateral Teleoperation Under Time Delay, Uğur Tümerdem Jan 2019

Three-Channel Control Architecture For Multilateral Teleoperation Under Time Delay, Uğur Tümerdem

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Multilateral teleoperation is an extension of bilateral/haptic teleoperation framework to multiple operators/robots and finds applications in haptic training. As in bilateral teleoperation, time delay is an important problem, and stability and transparency, which quantifies the performance of the teleoperation system, are critical in the design of multilateral control systems. This paper proposes a novel three-channel-based multilateral control architecture with damping injection to guarantee delay-independent L2 stability and high transparency in multilateral teleoperation systems. The theoretical and computational analyses are verified with experiment results.


A Fuzzy Model Of Directional Relationships From The Phi-Descriptor, Mohammad Naeem, Nasir Ahmad, Sahib Khan, Asma Gul Jan 2019

A Fuzzy Model Of Directional Relationships From The Phi-Descriptor, Mohammad Naeem, Nasir Ahmad, Sahib Khan, Asma Gul

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Directional spatial relationships are a category of spatial relationships and have applications in the fields of image processing, geographic information systems, natural language processing, and robot navigation. They can be directly extracted from images or can be interpreted from a type of image descriptors called the relative position descriptors. Examples of relative position descriptors are the angle histogram, the force histogram, and the recently proposed phi-descriptor. So far, fuzzy models of directional spatial relationships from the angle histogram and force histograms have been proposed in the literature. These include the compatibility method, the aggregation method, and the method of effective …

Accurate And Compact Stochastic Computations By Exploiting Correlation, Hamdan Abdellatef, Mohamed Khalil Hani, Nasir Shaikh-Husin Jan 2019

Accurate And Compact Stochastic Computations By Exploiting Correlation, Hamdan Abdellatef, Mohamed Khalil Hani, Nasir Shaikh-Husin

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Recent studies have shown, contrary to what was previously believed, that by exploiting correlation in stochastic computing (SC) designs, more accurate SC circuits with low area cost can be realized. However, if these basic SC circuits or blocks are cascaded in series to form a large complex system, correlation between stochastic numbers (SNs) from one block to the next would be lost; thus, inaccuracies are introduced. In this study, we propose correlating circuits to be used in building complex correlated SC systems. One of the circuits is the correlator that restores lost correlations between two SNs due to previous processing. …

On The Stability Of Inverse Dynamics Control Of Flexible-Joint Parallel Manipulators In The Presence Of Modeling Error And Disturbances, Sitki Kemal İder, Ozan Korkmaz, Mustafa Semi̇h Deni̇zli̇ Jan 2019

On The Stability Of Inverse Dynamics Control Of Flexible-Joint Parallel Manipulators In The Presence Of Modeling Error And Disturbances, Sitki Kemal İder, Ozan Korkmaz, Mustafa Semi̇h Deni̇zli̇

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Inverse dynamics control is considered for flexible-joint parallel manipulators in order to obtain a good trajectory tracking performance in the case of modeling error and disturbances. It is known that, in the absence of modeling error and disturbance, inverse dynamics control leads to linear fourth-order error dynamics, which is asymptotically stable if the feedback gains are chosen to make the real part of the eigenvalues of the system negative. However, when there are modeling errors and disturbances, a linear time-varying error dynamics is obtained whose stability is not assured only by keeping the real parts of the frozen-time eigenvalues of …

In this paper, a deep learning-based method for segmenting lung fields from chest radiographs has been proposed. Several modifications in the fully convolutional network, which is used for segmenting natural images to date, have been attempted and evaluated to finally evolve a network fine-tuned for segmenting lung fields. The testing accuracy and …

Turkish Lexicon Expansion By Using Finite State Automata, Mustafa Burak Öztürk, Burcu Can Buğlalilar

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Turkish is an agglutinative language with rich morphology. A Turkish verb can have thousands of different word forms. Therefore, sparsity becomes an issue in many Turkish natural language processing (NLP) applications. This article presents a model for Turkish lexicon expansion. We aimed to expand the lexicon by using a morphological segmentation system by reversing the segmentation task into a generation task. Our model uses finite-state automata (FSA) to incorporate orthographic features and morphotactic rules. We extracted orthographic features by capturing phonological operations that are applied to words whenever a suffix is added. Each FSA state corresponds to either a stem …

In this paper, we tackle text representation to achieve high performance in different text classification tasks. Throughout the paper, three critical contributions are presented. First, to encode …


A New Spectral Estimation-Based Feature Extraction Method For Vehicle Classification In Distributed Sensor Networks, Erdem Köse, Ali̇ Köksal Hocaoğlu Jan 2019

A New Spectral Estimation-Based Feature Extraction Method For Vehicle Classification In Distributed Sensor Networks, Erdem Köse, Ali̇ Köksal Hocaoğlu

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Ground vehicle detection and classification with distributed sensor networks is of growing interest for border security. Different sensing modalities including electro-optical, seismic, and acoustic were evaluated individually and in combination to develop a more efficient system. Despite previous works that mostly studied frequency-domain features and acoustic sensors, in this work we analyzed the classification performance for both frequency and time-domain features and seismic and acoustic modalities. Despite their infrequent use, we show that when fused with frequency-domain features, time-domain features improve the classification performance and reduce the false positive rate, especially for seismic signals. We investigated the performance of seismic …

In this paper, we propose a new accuracy measurement model for the video stabilization method based on background motion that can accurately measure the performance of the video stabilization algorithm. Undesired residual motion present in the video can quantitatively be measured by the pixel by pixel background motion displacement between two consecutive background frames. First of all, foregrounds are removed from a stabilized video, and then we find the two-dimensional flow vectors for each pixel separately between two consecutive background frames. After that, we calculate a Euclidean distance between these two flow vectors for each pixel one by one, which …

One of the advantages of this method is that it can be used for both handwritten and machine-printed texts. Finally, to evaluate the performance of our system in comparison to other methods, a …


Hybix: A Novel Encoding Bitmap Index For Space- And Time-Efficient Query Processing, Naphat Keawpibal, Ladda Preechaveerakul, Sirirut Vanichayobon Jan 2019

Hybix: A Novel Encoding Bitmap Index For Space- And Time-Efficient Query Processing, Naphat Keawpibal, Ladda Preechaveerakul, Sirirut Vanichayobon

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

A bitmap-based index is an effective and efficient indexing method for answering selective queries in a read-only environment. It offers improved query execution time by applying low-cost Boolean operators on the index directly, before accessing raw data. A drawback of the bitmap index is that index size increases with the cardinality of indexed attributes, which additionally has an impact on a query execution time. This impact is related to an increase of query execution time due to the scanning of bitmap vectors to answer the queries. In this paper, we propose a new encoding bitmap index, called the HyBiX bitmap …

Recently, features extracted by convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are popularly used for image retrieval. In CNN representation, high-level features are usually chosen to represent the images in coarse-grained datasets, while mid-level features are successfully applied to describe the images for fine-grained datasets. In this paper, we combine these different levels of features as a joint feature to propose a robust representation that is suitable for both coarse-grained and fine-grained image retrieval datasets. In addition, in order to solve the problem that the efficiency of image retrieval is influenced by the dimensionality of indexing, a unified subspace learning model named spectral …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this paper, two hybrid estimation approaches, hybrid genetic algorithm (TR-GA) and hybrid particle swarm optimization (TR-PSO), are used to estimate single-diode model InGaN/GaN solar cell parameters from J?V experimental data under AM0 illumination. These parameters are photocurrent density ($J_{ph}$), reverse saturation current density ($J_{s}$), ideality factor ($A$), series resistance ($R_{s}$), and shunt resistance ($R_{sh}$). The trust region (TR) method used in both approaches provides the initial conditions and helps to avoid the problem of premature convergence (due to local minimum). Simulation results based on the minimization of the mean square error between experimental and theoretical J-V characteristics show that …

Identifying Preferred Solutions In Multiobjective Combinatorial Optimization Problems, Banu Lokman, Mustafa Murat Köksalan

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

We develop an evolutionary algorithm for multiobjective combinatorial optimization problems. The algorithm aims at converging the preferred solutions of a decision-maker. We test the performance of the algorithm on the multiobjective knapsack and multiobjective spanning tree problems. We generate the true nondominated solutions using an exact algorithm and compare the results with those of the evolutionary algorithm. We observe that the evolutionary algorithm works well in approximating the solutions in the preferred regions.

An Adaptive Scheduling Scheme For Inhomogeneously Distributed Wireless Ad Hocnetworks, Adnan Fazil, Aamir Hasan, Muhammad Atique Ur Rehman, Ijaz Mansoor Qureshi

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

An efficient scheduling strategy guarantees the simultaneous transmission and successful reception by the scheduled nodes even inside a congested wireless ad hoc network. Owing to the dispersed nature of ad hoc networks, the node packing algorithm needs to be implementable without having network-wide channel state information and should additionally be able to pack the optimum number of successful transmissions. The proposed algorithm, for a network with nonhomogeneously distributed nodes, makes the decision to either inhibit or permit an active interferer around an active receiver based on the interferer?s transmission power. The analysis evidenced that the suggested scheme provides an estimated …
