Human identification systems are commonly used for security issues. Most of them are based on ID card. However, using an ID card for identification may not be safe enough since people may not have any protection against the theft. Another solution to the identification problem is to use iris or fingerprints. However, systems based on the iris or fingerprints need close interaction to identification machine. Identifying someone from his photograph overcomes all these problems which can be called as face recognition. Common face recognition systems are based on the 2D image recognition but success rates of these methods are strictly depending on the environment. Variations on brightness and pose, complex background are the main problems for 2D image recognition systems. At this point, three dimensional face recognition techniques gain importance. Although there are a lot of methods developed for 3D face recognition, many of them assume that face is not rotated and there is not any destructive (i.e. beard, moustache, hair, hat, and eyeglasses) on the face. However, identification needs to be done though these destructives. Basic step for the face recognition is the determination of the anchor points (i.e. nose tip, inner eye points). In this study, the goal is to implement previously proposed four face recognition methods based on anchor point detection; “Multimodal Facial Feature Extraction for Automatic 3D Face Recognition” , “Automatic Feature Extraction for Multiview 3D Face Recognition”, “Multiple Nose Region Matching for 3D Face Recognition under Varying Facial Expression”, “3D face detection using curvature analysis”, to compare the success rates of them for rotated and destructed images and finally to propose improvements on these methods.

Collaborative mobile target imaging in ultra-wideband wireless radar sensor networks
Arık, Muharrem; Akan, Özgür Barış; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2008)
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 d...
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...
Multiple target tracking using multiple cameras
Yılmaz, Mehmet; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2008)
Video surveillance has long been in use to monitor security sensitive areas such as banks, department stores, crowded public places and borders. The rise in computer speed, availability of cheap large-capacity storage devices and high speed network infrastructure enabled the way for cheaper, multi sensor video surveillance systems. In this thesis, the problem of tracking multiple targets with multiple cameras has been discussed. Cameras have been located so that they have overlapping fields of vision. A dyn...
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...
Feature set evaluation for a generic missile detection system
Avan, K. Selçuk; Tuncer, Temel Engin; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007)
Missile Detection System (MDS) is one of the main components of a self-protection system developed against the threat of guided missiles for airborne platforms. The requirements such as time critical operation and high accuracy in classification performance make the ‘Pattern Recognition’ problem of an MDS a hard task. Problem can be defined in two main parts such as ‘Feature Set Evaluation’ (FSE) and ‘Classifier’ designs. The main goal of feature set evaluation is to employ a dimensionality reduction proces...
