Objects and their feature identification in hazy or foggy weather conditions has been of interest in the last decades. Improving image visualization by removing weather influence factors for easy image postprocessing, such as object detection, has benefits for human assistance systems. In this paper, we propose a novel variational model that will be capable of jointly segmenting and dehazing a given image. The proposed model incorporates atmospheric veil estimation and locally computed denoising constrained surfaces into a level set function by performing a robust and efficient image dehazing and segmentation scheme for both gray and color outdoor images. The proposed …

Can Additional Spectral Bands Be Estimated From Aerial Color Images?, Muhammet Ali̇ Dede, Erchan Aptoula, Yakup Genç
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Inspired by the surprising performances of deep generative models, in this paper we present the preliminary results of an overly ambitious task: estimating computationally the additional spectral bands of a color aerial image. We have harnessed the expressive power of deep generative models to estimate the distribution of mostly infrared bands of aerial scenes, using only color RGB channels as input. Our approach has been tested from multiple aspects, including the reconstruction error of the additional bands and the effect of estimated bands on scene classification performance, as well as through the transfer potential of the trained network to a …

Our approach improves query performance, as well as retrieval efficiency and accuracy, compared to existing content-based encrypted speech retrieval methods. Our proposed algorithm constructs a perceptual hash scheme using perceptual hash sequences from original speech files. By classifying the sequences and applying run-length compression, we decrease the cloud storage required for the hash index. We secure the speech database by encrypting it with Henon chaos scrambling, which offers excellent resistance to attacks. Experimental results show that the robustness, …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Day by day huge amounts data are produced, and evaluation of these data becomes more difficult. The data obtained should provide meaningful, correct, and accurate information. Therefore, all data must be separated into clusters correctly, and the right information from these clusters must be obtained. Having the correct clusters depends on the clustering algorithm that is used. There are many clustering algorithms. The density-based methods are very important among the groups of clustering methods, as they can find arbitrary shapes. An advanced model of the density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise (DBSCAN) algorithm, called fuzzy neighborhood DBSCAN Gaussian means …

Besides this, we tackle the classification problem with three supervised classifiers, naive Bayes, support vector machines, and J48, on the ML side. Our hybrid methodology combines these two approaches by generating a new lexicon-based value according to our feature generation algorithm and feeds it as one of the features to machine learning classifiers. Despite the linguistic challenges caused by the morphological structure of Turkish, the …

The delay failures in arithmetic units are increasing rapidly due to the increased effect of process variation (PV) in scaled technology. This paper introduces a novel process-tolerant low-power adder (Prot-LA) architecture for error-tolerant applications. The proposed Prot-LA architecture segments the operands into two parts and computes addition of the upper parts in carry-propagate, whereas it computes the lower parts in a carry-free manner. In the Prot-LA, the number of bits in carry-propagate and carry-free additions can be reconfigured …

Hydrogen Production System With Fuzzy Logic-Controlled Converter, Sali̇h Nacar, Seli̇m Öncü
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Electrolyte current must be controlled in the water electrolysis systems. For this purpose, the power converter for the cell stack of the electrolyzer used in industrial hydrogen production is realized. A series resonant converter, which is suitable for high input voltage and low output current applications, is used as power stage of the electrolyzer. The high-frequency transformer is used for the impedance matching. While the system is running, the electrical resistance of the electrolyzer changes continuously; thus, fuzzy logic controller (FLC) is used to control the output current of the power converter. In this study, a 700-W converter prototype is …
Fast Nonsingular Terminal Decoupled Sliding-Mode Control Utilizing Time-Varying Sliding Surfaces, Ferhun Yorgancioğlu, Soydan Redif
Fast Nonsingular Terminal Decoupled Sliding-Mode Control Utilizing Time-Varying Sliding Surfaces, Ferhun Yorgancioğlu, Soydan Redif
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this paper, a fast form of nonsingular, terminal, decoupled, sliding-mode control, which utilizes time-varying sliding surfaces, is proposed for a class of fourth-order, single-input, multioutput, nonlinear systems. The novel control law features a fast term, in the manner of fast terminal sliding-mode control, which markedly improves the finite-time sliding-mode convergence speed near zero. Numerical simulation results, which are illustrated with a cart-pole inverted pendulum system and a ball-beam system, demonstrate that the proposed control law achieves, in general, favorable transient response and lower steady-state errors compared to state-of-the-art decoupled terminal sliding-mode control methods.

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.

Queue Length Feedback-Based Solution Of Tcp Incast In Data Center Networks, Hasnain Ahmed, Junaid Arshad
Queue Length Feedback-Based Solution Of Tcp Incast In Data Center Networks, Hasnain Ahmed, Junaid Arshad
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
The Internet offers a large number of applications and services that we use on a daily basis. These widely used applications are hosted on large-scale, high-performance computing systems called data centers. The performance of TCP is inefficient in many-to-one communication, which is a common traffic pattern in data center networks. This many-to-one communication causes significant packet losses followed by timeouts, which consequently results in throughput collapse in data center networks; this problem is known as TCP Incast. In this paper, we present a queue length feedback-based solution to mitigate TCP Incast. The scheme has two parts: i) a novel queue …

The algorithms in these works rely on an estimation of the execution times of tasks on different resources. However, in practice, due to fluctuations in performance of cloud resources, these algorithms have challenges in these environments. In this paper, we focus on the problem of fault-tolerant scheduling of task graphs in the presence of performance fluctuations of computational resources. With the aim of reducing the adverse impacts of both soft errors and resource performance degradations, we propose an opportunistic task replication scheme …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this paper a straightforward method for line independency-based modelling of electrical power distribution systems is proposed. The proposed method can determine the backward and forward sweeping routes of distribution systems for calculating line currents and bus voltages. To do that, the method identifies the independent lines in consecutive steps. An independent line is a line in the distribution system whose current does not depend on the current of other lines in the system. The proposed line independency-based network modelling is required to be performed only once and prior to the load flow analysis. The output of the proposed method, …

Optimal Siting, Sizing, And Parameter Tuning Of Statcom And Sssc Using Mpso And Remote Coordination Of The Facts For Oscillation Damping Of Power Systems, James Garba Ambafi, Sunusi Sani Adamu
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In electromechanical oscillation damping within power system, power system stabilizers (PSSs) are often deployed. However, a PSS is less effective in damping interarea oscillation and is limited by changes in network configuration due to weak tie-lines and load variations. Consequently, this paper presents a wide-area coordination approach that damps interarea oscillations using FACTS devices and phasor measurement units. We selected a static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) and static series synchronous compensator (SSSC) for realistic power system interarea oscillation damping. The performance of the coordinated FACTS installed in a power system depends on their suitable locations, sizes, tuned parameters, and remote input …
