Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUV) in open-seas are highly nonlinear with system motions. Because of the complex interaction of the body with environment it is difficult to control them efficiently. Linearization is applied to system in order to design controllers developed for linear systems. To overcome the effects of disturbances, a mathematical model which will compensate all disturbances and effects of linearization is required. In this study first a mathematical model is formed wherein the linear and nonlinear hydrodynamic coeffi- cients are calculated with strip theory. After the basic mathematical model is developed, it is simplified and decoupled into speed, steering and diving subsystems. Consequently PID (Proportional Derivative Integral), SMC (SlidingMode Control) and LQR (Linear Quadratic Regulator)/LQG (Linear Quadratic Gaussian) control methods can be applied on each subsystem to design controllers. Some of the system parameters can be estimated from state vector data based on measurements using the methods of linear sequential estimation and genetic algorithms. As for the final part of the study, an online obstacle avoidance algorithm which avoids local optimums using Boolean operators is presented. In addition a simple guidance algorithm is suggested for waypoint navigation. Due to the fact that ULISAR UUV is still on construction phase, we were unable to test our algorithms. But in the near future, we plan to study all these algorithms on the UUV ULISAR.

Detection of airport runways in optical satellite images Zöngür, Uğur; Ulusoy, İlkay; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2009) Advances in hardware and pattern recognition techniques, along with the widespread utilization of remote sensing satellites, have urged the development of automatic target detection systems. Automatic detection of airports is particularly essential, due to the strategic importance of these targets. In this thesis, a detection method is proposed for airport runways, which is the most distinguishing element of an airport. This method, which operates on large optical satellite images, is composed of a segmenta...
Extraction of buildings in satellite images Çetin, Melih; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010) In this study, an automated building extraction system, which is capable of detecting buildings from satellite images using only RGB color band is implemented. The approach used in this work has four main steps: local feature extraction, feature selection, classification and post processing. There are many studies in literature that deal with the same problem. The main issue is to find the most suitable features to distinguish a building. This work presents a feature selection scheme that is connected with ...
Modelling the effects of half circular compliant legs on the kinematics and dynamics of a legged robot Saygıner, Ege; Saranlı, Afşar; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010) RHex is an autonomous hexapedal robot capable of locomotion on rough terrain. Up to now, most modelling and simulation efforts on RHex were based on the linear leg assumption. These models disregarded what might be seen as the most characteristic feature of the latest iterations of this robot: the half circular legs. This thesis focuses on developing a more realistic model for this specially shaped compliant leg and studying its effects on the kinematics and dynamics of the resulting platform. One important...
Dual and single color mid-wavelength infrared quantum well photodetectors Kaldırım, Melih; Beşikci, Cengiz; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2008) Quantum Well Infrared Photodetector (QWIP) technology is promising for the development of large format low cost single and dual/multi color infrared sensor arrays. Thanks to the mature III-V semiconductor technology, QWIP focal plane arrays (FPAs) provide high uniformity and excellent noise equivalent temperature difference (NETD) in both long wavelength infrared (LWIR 8-12 m) and mid wavelength infrared (MWIR 3-5 m) bands. This thesis work focuses on the development of large format single and dual color MW...
Milimeterwave FMCW radar design İçöz, Dilşad; Hızal, Altunkan; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2009) In traffic radar system, Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) will be used since these radars are preferred in short distance and high range resolution systems. The system to be constructed is not only a system operating with Doppler principle and detection of speed; on the contrary a functional radar is planned to be produced. In various traffic radars in use, Doppler shift constituted by the targets causing high reflection within detection field is measured and the measured speed corresponding to th...
