The sensitivity of multimode fibers (MMFs) to mechanical deformations has led to their widespread use in various fields, such as structural monitoring and healthcare. However, traditional optical fiber sensing techniques often involve complex equipment and analysis procedures. In this work, we demonstrate the use of Deep Learning (DL) to accurately detect both the curvature and location of a bent MMF under external force. The DL model is trained using intensity-only speckle images as input, which correspond to the bending curvature and location. Our results show that the network can detect the bending location with an accuracy of 1.39 cm and the curvature with an accuracy of 0.158 m-1.

Deep learning-based image transmission through a multi-modefiber
Kürekçi, Şahin; Odabaş, Ekrem; Temur, Tarık; Afshari, Gilda; Yüce, Emre (null; 2020-04-09)
Image transmission through a multi-mode fiber is a difficult task given the complex interference of light through the fiber that leads to random speckle patterns at the distal end of the fiber. With traditional methods and techniques, it is impractical to reconstruct a high-resolution input image by using the information obtained from the intensity of the corresponding output speckle alone. In this work, we train three Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) with input-output couples of a multi-mode fiber and ...
Quality Enhancement of Computed Tomography Images of Porous Media Using Convolutional Neural Networks
Yıldırım, Ertuğrul Umut; Uğur, Ömür; Glatz, Guenther; Department of Scientific Computing (2022-2-11)
Computed tomography has been widely used in clinical and industrial applications as a non-destructive visualization technology. The quality of computed tomography scans has a strong effect on the accuracy of the estimated physical properties of the investigated sample. X-ray exposure time is a crucial factor for scan quality. Ideally, long exposure time scans, yielding large signal-to-noise ratios, are available if physical properties are to be delineated. However, especially in micro-computed tomography ap...
Deep learning-based reconstruction methods for near-field MIMO radar imaging
Manisalı, İrfan; Öktem, Sevinç Figen; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2022-6-29)
Near-field multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar imaging systems are of interest in diverse fields such as medicine, through-wall imaging, airport security, and surveillance. These computational imaging systems reconstruct the three-dimensional scene reflectivity distribution from the radar data. Hence their imaging performance largely depends on the image reconstruction method. The analytical reconstruction methods suffer from either low image quality or high computational cost. In fact, sparsity-bas...

Tissue engineering is an emerging field which aims to replace missing or damaged tissues and restore their functions. Three dimensional (3D) printing has recently been in the heart of tissue engineering which enables design and production cell loaded or cell carrying scaffolds with shapes, sizes, and porosities specific for the patients. Corneal damages and diseases are the third major cause for blindness after cataract and glaucoma. Transplantation and keratoprostheses are the only acceptable treatments fo...
Super-Resolution Image Reconstruction Applied to an Active Millimeter Wave Imaging System based on Compressive Sensing
Alkus, Umit; Ermeydan, Esra Sengun; ŞAHİN, ASAF BEHZAT; ÇANKAYA, İLYAS; Altan, Hakan (2017-09-11)
The development of passive and active millimeter wave imaging systems is progressing rapidly fueled by the need for many applications in the area of security and defense. Imaging schemes that may either utilize array detectors or single detectors in scan architectures offer suffer from poor resolution due to the longer wavelengths used and the limits of the optical system in terms of lens and mirror dimensions. In order to overcome this limit, super-resolution techniques can be employed to enhance the resol...
