Aydoğan, Ali
In this thesis work, a 3D Synthetic Human Face Modelling Software is implemented using C++ and OpenGL. Bézier surfaces, B-spline surfaces, Nonuniform Rational B-spline surfaces, Hierarchical B-Spline surfaces and T-spline surfaces are evaluated as options for the surface description method. T-spline surfaces are chosen since they are found to be superior considering the requirements of the work. In the modelling process, a modular approach is followed. Firstly, high detailed facial regions (i.e. nose, eyes, mouth) are modelled, then these models are unified in a complete face model employing the merging capabilities of T-splines. Local and global features of the face model are parameterized in order to have the ability to create and edit various face models. To enhance the visual quality of the model, a region-variable rendering scheme is employed. In doing this, a new file format to define T-Spline surfaces is proposed. To reduce the computational and memory cost of the software, a simplified version of the T-Spline surface description method is proposed and used.

Implementation of an 8-bit microcontroller with system c
Kesen, Lokman; Aşkar, Murat; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2004)
In this thesis, an 8-bit microcontroller, 8051 core, is implemented using SystemC programming language. SystemC is a new generation co-design language which is capable of both programming software and describing hardware parts of a complete system. The benefit of this design environment appears while developing a System-on-Chip (SoC), that is a system consisting both custom hardware parts and embedded software parts. SystemC is not a completely new language, but based on C++ with some additional class libra...

Robust transmission of 3D models
Bici, Mehmet Oğuz; Akar, Gözde; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010)
In this thesis, robust transmission of 3D models represented by static or time consistent animated meshes is studied from the aspects of scalable coding, multiple description coding (MDC) and error resilient coding. First, three methods for MDC of static meshes are proposed which are based on multiple description scalar quantization, partitioning wavelet trees and optimal protection of scalable bitstream by forward error correction (FEC) respectively. For each method, optimizations and tools to decrease com...
Implementation of concurrent constraint transaction logic and its user interface
Altunyuva, Fethi; Karagöz, Pınar; Department of Computer Engineering (2006)
This thesis implements a logical formalism framework called Concurrent Constraint Transaction Logic (abbr.,CCTR) which was defined for modeling and scheduling of workflows under resource allocation and cost constraints and develops an extensible and flexible graphical user interface for the framework. CCTR extends Concurrent Transaction Logic and integrates with Constraint Logic Programming to find the correct scheduling of tasks that involves resource and cost constraints. The developed system, which integ...
