In this study, robustness of panel method based path planning algorithm under wind disturbances is evaluated experimentally. Panel method, borrowed from fluid dynamics domain, is a numeric tool for calculating the potential field around arbitrarily shaped objects. Resultant potential field can be used for generating collision free trajectories for uncrewed aerial vehicles with convergence guarantee. Robustness of the proposed method is demonstrated during indoor experiments with a wind generator creating wind speed up to 7 m/s and also during outdoor experiments with wind speeds ranging between 3-5 m/s. Experiment results suggest that panel method based path planning scheme maintains its obstacle avoidance property under wind disturbances.

Comparison of Bayesian MAP Estimation and Kalman Filter Methods in the Solution of Spatio-Temporal Inverse ECG Problem Aydin, Umit; Serinağaoğlu Doğrusöz, Yeşim (2009-09-12) In this study, spatial only, and spatio-temporal Bayesian Maximum a Posteriori (MAP) methods and an another spatio-temporal method, the Kalman filter approach, are used to solve the inverse electrocardiography (ECG) problem. Training sets are used to obtain the required a priori information for all methods. Two different approaches are employed to calculate the state transition matrix (STM), which maps the epicardial potentials in two consecutive time instants in the Kalman filter method. The first one uses...
NUMERICAL STABILITY OF RBF APPROXIMATION FOR UNSTEADY MHD FLOW EQUATIONS Gurbuz, Merve; Tezer, Münevver (2019-01-01) In this study, the radial basis function (RBF) approximation is applied for solving the unsteady fluid flow and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) convection flow problems with the use of explicit Euler time discretization and relaxation parameters to accelerate the convergence. The stability analysis is also carried out in terms of the spectral radius of related RBF discretized coefficient matrices. The optimal choices of the time increment, relaxation parameters and physical problem parameters are found for achiev...
Real-Time Detection of Interharmonics and Harmonics of AC Electric Arc Furnaces on GPU Framework Uz-Logoglu, Eda; Salor, Ozgul; Ermiş, Muammer (2019-11-01) In this paper, a method based on the multiple synchronous reference frame analysis is recommended and implemented to detect time-varying harmonics and interharmonics of rapidly fluctuating asymmetrical industrial loads. The experimental work has been carried out on a typical three-phase alternating current arc furnace installation. In the recommended method, the reference frame is rotated in both directions at speeds corresponding to the positive and negative sequences of all harmonics and all interharmonic...
Real-Time Detection of Interharmonics and Harmonics of AC Electric Arc Furnaces on GPU Framework Uz-Logoglu, Eda; Salor, Ozgul; Ermiş, Muammer (2017-10-05) In this paper, a method based on the multiple synchronous reference frame (MSRF) analysis is recommended and implemented to detect time-varying harmonics and interharmonics of rapidly fluctuating asymmetrical industrial loads. The experimental work has been carried out on a typical three-phase alternating current arc furnace (AC EAF) installation. In the recommended method, the reference frame is rotated in both directions at speeds corresponding to the positive and negative sequences of all harmonics and a...
Multi-target tracking using passive doppler measurements Guldogan, Mehmet B.; Orguner, Umut; Gustafsson, Fredrik (2013-04-26) In this paper, we analyze the performance of the Gaussian mixture probability hypothesis density (GM-PHD) filter in tracking multiple non-cooperative targets using Doppler-only measurements in a passive sensor network. Clutter, missed detections and multi-static Doppler variances are incorporated into a realistic multi-target scenario. Simulation results show that the GM-PHD filter successfully tracks multiple targets using only Doppler shift measurements in a passive multi-static scenario.
