Change detection research, a branch of statistical data analysis, focuses on detecting changed samples between di erent observations of the same dataset. The proposed study presents a novel change detection procedure and its application as a complete framework which is designed to work on remotely sensed images. The scope of the study is defined as detecting man-made change objects between satellite images of the same region, acquired at di erent times. Proposed framework has three main steps as preprocessing, feature extractionclassification and postprocessing. Preprocessing step normalizes, registers and measures the similarity of image pairs. The main contribution of the proposed study lies at the feature extraction and classification step. With the help of newly proposed "double segmentation" paradigm, an object based approach can be utilized without any prior information or supervision. Well known features in the change detection literature are defined, combined and compared in the study. Apart from known classification methods such as K-Means Clustering and Expectation-Maximization, a novel heuristic thresholding method is also presented. A postprocessing procedure which helps to obtain more accurate and visually appealing results is also provided. Experiments conducted on artificial and real satellite images show that proposed framework is good at capturing the man-made change object characteristics in remotely sensed images with high accuracy.

A neural network method for direction of arrival estimation with uniform circular dipole array in the presence of mutual coupling Caylar, Selcuk; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Dural, Guelbin (2007-06-16) In recent years application of Neural Network (NN) algorithms in both target tracking problem and DoA estimation have become popular because of the increased computational efficiency This paper presents the implementation of modified neural network algorithm(MN-MUST) to the uniform circular dipole array in the presence of mutual coupling. In smart antenna systems, mutual coupling between elements can significantly degrade the processing algorithms. In this paper mutual coupling affects on MN-MUST has been i...
A Shadow based trainable method for building detection in satellite images Dikmen, Mehmet; Halıcı, Uğur; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2014) The purpose of this thesis is to develop a supervised building detection and extraction algorithm with a shadow based learning method for high-resolution satellite images. First, shadow segments are identified on an over-segmented image, and then neighboring shadow segments are merged by assuming that they are cast by a single building. Next, these shadow regions are used to detect the candidate regions where buildings most likely occur. Together with this information, distance to shadows towards illuminati...
A marginalized multilevel model for bivariate longitudinal binary data Inan, Gul; İlk Dağ, Özlem (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-06-01) This study considers analysis of bivariate longitudinal binary data. We propose a model based on marginalized multilevel model framework. The proposed model consists of two levels such that the first level associates the marginal mean of responses with covariates through a logistic regression model and the second level includes subject/time specific random intercepts within a probit regression model. The covariance matrix of multiple correlated time-specific random intercepts for each subject is assumed to ...
Clustering of manifold-modeled data based on tangent space variations Gökdoğan, Gökhan; Vural, Elif; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2017) An important research topic of the recent years has been to understand and analyze data collections for clustering and classification applications. In many data analysis problems, the data sets at hand have an intrinsically low-dimensional structure and admit a manifold model. Most state-of-the-art clustering methods developed for data of non-linear and low-dimensional structure are based on local linearity assumptions. However, clustering algorithms based on locally linear representations can tolerate diff...
A multicriteria sorting approach based on data envelopment analysis for R&D project selection problem Karasakal, Esra (Elsevier BV, 2017-12-01) In this paper, multiple criteria sorting methods based on data envelopment analysis (DEA) are developed to evaluate research and development (R&D) projects. The weight intervals of the criteria are obtained from Interval Analytic Hierarchy Process and employed as the assurance region constraints of models. Based on data envelopment analysis, two threshold estimation models, and five assignment models are developed for sorting. In addition to sorting, these models also provide ranking of the projects. The de...
