AMR (Automatic Measurement Reading) applications usually require measurement data to be collected from separate locations. In order to combine the data retrieved from separate sources into a meaningful result, all sources should share a common time sense. Therefore, it is necessary to implement a synchronization scheme in measurement networks. In this thesis, a synchronization scheme which combines GPS (Global Positioning System) and two high accuracy WSN (Wireless Sensor Network) time synchronization algorithms will be proposed and evaluated. The synchronization accuracy of the proposed method is compared to the accuracy of NTP (Network Time Protocol) by simulation. This research work is fully supported by the Public Research Grant Committee (KAMAG) of TUBİTAK within the scope of National Power Quality Project of Turkey with the project No: 105G129

OPTIMAL RANKING OF MEASUREMENTS FOR STATE ESTIMATION BY THE GRADIENT PROJECTION METHOD
SEVAIOGLU, O; ESKICIOGLU, AM; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal (Elsevier BV, 1992-12-01)
Optimal measurement ranking is the first and essential step in meter selection for the design of a reliable measurement system. This paper presents a computationally-efficient algorithm for the optimal ranking of measurements for state estimation. The algorithm maximizes the accuracy of estimates with respect to the measurement variances by performing a transformation on the problem.formulation, and minimizing the resulting cost function subject to a set of linear constraints.
Tracker-aware detection : a theoretical and an experimental study
Aslan, Murat Şamil; Saranlı, Afşar; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2009)
A promising line of research attempts to bridge the gap between detector and tracker by means of considering jointly optimal parameter settings for both of these subsystems. Along this fruitful path, this thesis study focuses on the problem of detection threshold optimization in a tracker-aware manner so that a feedback from the tracker to the detector is established to maximize the overall system performance. Special emphasis is given to the optimization schemes based on two non-simulation performance pred...
EXECUTION TIME MODELING WITH SINGLE NODE GATHER PROBLEM ON TRANSPUTERS
UNAL, E; GURAN, H (Informa UK Limited, 1994-01-01)
A methodology is presented for estimating the total execution time of loosely coupled parallel processing applications. The single node gather problem is considered as the communication primitive. The derived model is verified and illustrated on an image processing application with a network of transputers connected as a ternary tree. The expected execution times obtained by the model are validated experimentally and the model is then used to estimate the performance of the system with larger transputer net...
Multitarget tracking performance metric: deficiency aware subpattern assignment
Oksuz, Kemal; CEMGİL, ALİ TAYLAN (2018-03-01)
Multitarget tracking is a sequential estimation problem where conditioned on noisy sensor measurements, state variables of several targets need to be estimated recursively. In this study, the authors propose a novel performance measure for multitarget tracking named as Deficiency Aware Subpattern Assignment (DASA), that can be used to consistently compare algorithms in a broad spectrum of formulations ranging from conventional data association methods to random finite set based multitarget tracking algorith...
Implementation and performance evaluation of a three antenna direction finding system
Arslan, Ömer Çağrı; Tuncer, Temel Engin; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2009)
State of the art direction finding (DF) systems usually have several antennas in order to increase accuracy and robustness to certain factors. In this thesis, a three antenna DF system is built and evaluated. While more antennas give better DF performance, a three antenna system is useful for system simplicity and many of the problems in DF systems can be observed and evaluated easily. This system can be used for both azimuth and elevation direction of arrival (DOA) estimation. The system is composed of thr...
