Wireless sensor networks (WSN) have thus far been used for detection and tracking of static and mobile targets for surveillance and security applications. However, detection and tracking do not suffice for a complete satisfaction of these applications and an accurate target classification. To address this need, among various target classification methods, imaging of target yields the most valuable information. Nevertheless, imaging of mobile targets moving over an area requires networked and collaborative detection, tracking and imaging capabilities. With this regard, ultra-wideband (UWB) radar technology stands as a promising approach for networked target imaging over an area due to its unique features such as having no line-of-sight (LoS). However, the UWB wireless radar sensor network (WRSN) is yet to be developed for high quality imaging of mobile targets. In this thesis, an architecture for UWB wireless radar sensor network and a new collaborative mobile target imaging (CMTI) algorithm for UWB wireless radar sensor networks (WRSN) are presented. It is intended to accurately and efficiently obtain an image of mobile targets based on the collaborative e ort of deployed UWB wireless radar sensor nodes. CMTI enables detection, tracking and imaging of mobile targets with a complete WRSN solution. CMTI exploits mobility of the target in the sensor field to build its own multi-static radar aperture. Performance evaluations reveal that CMTI obtains high quality radar image of mobile targets in WRSN with very low communication overhead and energy expenditure.

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...
Antenna patterns for detecting slowly moving targets in two channel gmti processing Yıldırım, Gökhan; Koç, Seyit Sencer; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010) Ground Moving Target Indicator (GMTI) is a well-known and widely used signal processing method in airborne and spaceborne radars. In airborne radar and GMTI literature, many radar designs and signal processing techniques have been developed to increase the detection and estimation performance under heavy interference conditions. The motion of the aircraft on which the radar is mounted, high altitudes and ranges, targets with low radar cross sections and slowly moving targets complicates the problem of local...
Analysis of target detection probability in randomly deployed sensor networks Onur, Ertan; Delic, Hakan (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2007-10-01) The main functionality of a surveillance wireless sensor network is to detect unauthorized traversals in a field. In this paper, we develop a formulation to determine the probability of detecting a randomly positioned target by a set of binary sensors to serve as the deployment quality measure. This formulation leads to a recipe to determine the number of sensors required to deliver a certain deployment quality level. The sensing- and communication-neighbor degrees which can be used as design criteria in a ...
Hybrid-shaped single-loop resonator: a four-band metamaterial structure Yurduseven, O.; Yilmaz, A. E.; Sayan, Gönül (Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), 2011-12-08) The aim of this reported work is to demonstrate the feasibility of a miniaturised four-band metamaterial resonator which has potential use in the design of multiband microwave devices such as four-band mobile phone patch antennas. The suggested resonator topology is called the hybrid-shaped single-loop resonator (HSLR) as its unit cell is formed by the combination of square-shaped and triangular-shaped sections of a single piece metal loop printed on a planar low-loss dielectric substrate. The performance o...
Anti-sensor network : distortion-based distributed attack in wireless sensor networks Karaaslan, İbrahim; Akan, Özgür Barış; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2008) In this thesis, a novel anti-sensor network paradigm is introduced against wireless sensor networks (WSN). Anti-sensor network (ASN) aims to destroy application reliability by adaptively and anonymously introducing adequate level of artificial distortion into the communication of the event features transported from the sensor nodes (SN) to the sink. ASN is composed of anti-sensor nodes (aSN) randomly distributed over the sensor network field. aSNs pretend to be SNs tomaintain anonymity and so improve resili...
