Calculating visual perception of entities in simulations requires complex intersection tests between the line of sight and the virtual world. In this study, we focus on outdoor environments which consist of a terrain and various objects located on terrain. Using hardware capabilities of graphics cards, such as occlusion queries, provides a fast method for implementing these tests. In this thesis, we introduce an approach for better load balancing of visibility detection and target acquisition calculations by the use of occlusion queries. Our results show that, the proposed approach is 1.5 to 2 times more efficient than the existing algorithms on the average.

Schedulability analysis of real-time multiframe cosimulations on multicore platforms Ahsan, Muhammad Uzair; Oğuztüzün, Mehmet Halit S. (The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey, 2019-01-01) For real-time simulations, the fidelity of simulation depends not only on the functional accuracy of simulation but also on its timeliness. It is helpful for simulation designers if they can analyze and verify that a simulation will always meet its timing requirements without unnecessarily sacrificing functional accuracy. Abstracting the simulated processes simply as software tasks allows us to transform the problem of verifying timeliness into a schedulability analysis problem where tasks are checked as to...
Human motion analysis via axis based representations Erdem, Sezen; Tarı, Zehra Sibel; Department of Computer Engineering (2007) Visual analysis of human motion is one of the active research areas in computer vision. The trend shifts from computing motion fields to understanding actions. In this thesis, an action coding scheme based on trajectories of the features calculated with respect to a part based coordinate system is presented. The part based coordinate system is formed using an axis based representation. The features are extracted from images segmented in the form of silhouettes. We present some preliminary experiments that d...
Face detection in active robot vision Önder, Murat; Halıcı, Uğur; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2004) The main task in this thesis is to design a robot vision system with face detection and tracking capability. Hence there are two main works in the thesis: Firstly, the detection of the face on an image that is taken from the camera on the robot must be achieved. Hence this is a serious real time image processing task and time constraints are very important because of this reason. A processing rate of 1 frame/second is tried to be achieved and hence a fast face detection algorithm had to be used. The Eigenfa...
A new likelihood approach to autonomous multiple model estimation Söken, Halil Ersin (Elsevier BV, 2020-04-01) This paper presents an autonomous multiple model (AMM) estimation algorithm for hybrid systems with sudden changes in their parameters. Estimates of Kalman filters (KFs) that are tuned and employed for different system modes are merged based on a newly defined likelihood function without any necessity for filter interaction. The proposed likelihood function is composed of two measures, the filter agility measure and the steady-state error measure. These measures are derived based on filter adaptation rules....
Video Shot Boundary Detection by Graph-theoretic Dominant Sets Approach Asan, Emrah; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (2009-09-16) We present a video shot boundary detection algorithm based on the novel graph theoretic concept, namely dominant sets. Dominant sets are defined as a set of the nodes in a graph, mostly similar to each other and dissimilar to the others. In order to achieve this goal, candidate shot boundaries are determined by using simply pixelwise differences between consequent frames. For each candidate position, a testing sequence is constructed by considering 4 frames before the candidate position and 2 frames after t...
