Motion-Aware Vehicle Detection In Driving Videos, Mehmet Kiliçarslan, Tansu Temel Jan 2022

Motion-Aware Vehicle Detection In Driving Videos, Mehmet Kiliçarslan, Tansu Temel

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This paper focuses on vehicle detection based on motion features in driving videos. Long-term motion information can assist in driving scenarios since driving is a complicated and dynamic process. The proposed method is a deep learning based model which processes motion frame image. This image merges both spatial (frame) and temporal (motion) information. Hence, the model jointly detects vehicles and their motion from a single image. The trained model on Toyota Motor Europe Motorway Dataset reaches 83% mean average precision (mAP). Our experiments demonstrate that the proposed method has a higher mAP than a tracking-based model. The proposed method runs …

An Approach For Performance Prediction Of Saturated Brushed Permanent Magnetdirect Current (Dc) Motor From Physical Dimensions, Rasul Tarvirdilu, Reza Zeinali, Hulusi̇ Bülent Ertan

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

An analytical approach for performance prediction of saturated brushed permanent magnet direct current (DC) motors is proposed in this paper. In case of a heavy saturation in the stator back core of electrical machines, some flux completes its path through the surrounding air, and the conventional equivalent circuit cannot be used anymore. This issue has not been addressed in the literature. The importance of considering the effect of the flux penetrating the surrounding air is shown in this paper using finite element simulations and experimental results, and an analytical approach is proposed to consider this effect on magnet operating point …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Most of the web applications require security which in turn requires random numbers. Pseudo-random numbers are required with good statistical properties and efficiency. Use of chaotic map to dynamically perturb another chaotic map that generates the random bit output is introduced in this work. Perturbance is introduced to improvise the chaotic behaviour of a base map and increase the periodicity. PRNG with this architecture is devised to generate random bit sequence from initial keyspace. The statistical properties of newly constructed PRNG are tested with NIST SP 800-22 statistical test suite and were shown to have good randomness. To ensure its …

Stability Regions In Time Delayed Two-Area Lfc System Enhanced By Evs, Ausnain Naveed, Şahi̇n Sönmez, Saffet Ayasun

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

With the extensive usage of open communication networks, time delays have become a great concern in load frequency control (LFC) systems since such inevitable large delays weaken the controller performance and even may lead to instabilities. Electric vehicles (EVs) have a potential tool in the frequency regulation. The integration of a large number of EVs via an aggregator amplifies the adverse effects of time delays on the stability and controller design of LFC systems. This paper investigates the impacts of the EVs aggregator with communication time delay on the stability. Primarily, a graphical method characterizing stability boundary locus is implemented. …


An Effective Prediction Method For Network State Information In Sd-Wan, Erdal Akin, Ferdi̇ Saraç, Ömer Aslan Jan 2022

An Effective Prediction Method For Network State Information In Sd-Wan, Erdal Akin, Ferdi̇ Saraç, Ömer Aslan

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In a software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN), a logically centralized controller is responsible for computing and installing paths in order to transfer packets among geographically distributed locations and remote users. Accordingly, this would necessitate obtaining the global view and dynamic network state information (NSI) of the network. Therefore, the centralized controller periodically collects link-state information from each port of each switch at fixed time periods. While collecting NSI in short periods causes protocol overhead on the controller, collecting in longer periods leads to obtaining inaccurate NSI. In both cases, packet losses are inevitable, which is not preferred for quality of …

An Active Contour Model Using Matched Filter And Hessian Matrix For Retinalvessels Segmentation, Mahtab Shabani, Hossein Pourghassem

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Medical image analysis, especially of the retina, plays an important role in diagnostic decision support tools. The properties of retinal blood vessels are used for disease diagnoses such as diabetes, glaucoma, and hypertension. There are some challenges in the utilization of retinal blood vessel patterns such as low contrast and intensity inhomogeneities. Thus, an automatic algorithm for vessel extraction is required. Active contour is a strong method for edge extraction. However, it cannot extract thin vessels and ridges very well. In this research, we propose an improved active contour method that uses discrete wavelet transform for energy minimization to solve …


Optimized Cancer Detection On Various Magnified Histopathological Colon Imagesbased On Dwt Features And Fcm Clustering, Tina Babu, Tripty Singh, Deepa Gupta, Shahin Hameed Jan 2022

Optimized Cancer Detection On Various Magnified Histopathological Colon Imagesbased On Dwt Features And Fcm Clustering, Tina Babu, Tripty Singh, Deepa Gupta, Shahin Hameed

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Due to the morphological characteristics and other biological aspects in histopathological images, the computerized diagnosis of colon cancer in histopathology images has gained popularity. The images acquired using the histopathology microscope may differ for greater visibility by magnifications. This causes a change in morphological traits leading to intra and inter-observer variability. An automatic colon cancer diagnosis system for various magnification is therefore crucial. This work proposes a magnification independent segmentation approach based on the connected component area and double density dual tree DWT (discrete wavelet transform) coefficients are derived from the segmented region. The derived features are reduced further shortened …


Fft Enabled Ecc For Wsn Nodes Without Hardware Multiplier Support, Utku Gülen, Selçuk Baktir Jan 2022

Fft Enabled Ecc For Wsn Nodes Without Hardware Multiplier Support, Utku Gülen, Selçuk Baktir

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

ECC is a popular cryptographic algorithm for key distribution in wireless sensor networks where power efficiency is desirable. A power efficient implementation of ECC without using hardware multiplier support was proposed earlier for wireless sensor nodes. The proposed implementation utilized the number theoretic transform to carry operands to the frequency domain, and conducted Montgomery multiplication, in addition to other finite field operations, in that domain. With this work, we perform in the frequency domain only polynomial multiplication and use the fast Fourier transform to carry operands between the time and frequency domains. Our ECC implementation over $GF((2^{13}-1)^{13})$ on the MSP430 …


Evaluating The English-Turkish Parallel Treebank For Machine Translation, Onur Görgün, Olcay Taner Yildiz Jan 2022

Evaluating The English-Turkish Parallel Treebank For Machine Translation, Onur Görgün, Olcay Taner Yildiz

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This study extends our initial efforts in building an English-Turkish parallel treebank corpus for statistical machine translation tasks. We manually generated parallel trees for about 17K sentences selected from the Penn Treebank corpus. English sentences vary in length: 15 to 50 tokens including punctuation. We constrained the translation of trees by (i) reordering of leaf nodes based on suffixation rules in Turkish, and (ii) gloss replacement. We aim to mimic human annotator?s behavior in real translation task. In order to fill the morphological and syntactic gap between languages, we do morphological annotation and disambiguation. We also apply our heuristics by …

Shape Investigations Of Structures Formed By The Self-Assembly Of Aromaticamino Acids Using The Density-Based Spatial Clustering Of Applications With Noise Algorithm, Mehmet Gökhan Habi̇boğlu, Helen W. Hernandez, Şahi̇n Uyaver

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Tyrosine, tryptophan, and phenylalanine are important aromatic amino acids for human health. If they are not properly metabolized, severe rare mental or metabolic diseases can emerge, many of which are not researched enough due to economic priorities. In our previous simulations, all three of these amino acids are discovered to be self-organizing and to have complex aggregations at different temperatures. Two of these essential stable formations are observed during our simulations: tubular-like and spherical-like structures. In this study, we develop and implement a clustering analyzing algorithm using density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise (DBSCAN) to measure the shapes of …


Temporal Bagging: A New Method For Time-Based Ensemble Learning, Göksu Tüysüzoğlu, Derya Bi̇rant, Volkan Kiranoğlu Jan 2022

Temporal Bagging: A New Method For Time-Based Ensemble Learning, Göksu Tüysüzoğlu, Derya Bi̇rant, Volkan Kiranoğlu

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

One of the main problems associated with the bagging technique in ensemble learning is its random sample selection in which all samples are treated with the same chance of being selected. However, in time-varying dynamic systems, the samples in the training set have not equal importance, where the recent samples contain more useful and accurate information than the former ones. To overcome this problem, this paper proposes a new time-based ensemble learning method, called temporal bagging (T-Bagging). The significant advantage of our method is that it assigns larger weights to more recent samples with respect to older ones, so it …
