In spite of the fact that they are not widespread in Turkey, 3D applications have been implemented in increasing numbers of archaeological activity around the world. These methods were introduced in archaeology due to mere intentions of three dimensional visualization and reconstruction in the beginning however they have recently started to become an important part of the scientific research with the development of technological and theoretical infrastructure of the field. It is now possible to digitally document excavation process and findings, to digitally handle the obtained information and to easily share the data with others. In this thesis, Image Based Modeling is discussed in detail due to the facts that it has unique characteristics making it applicable to almost any archaeological research and it can significantly contribute the scientific work in the processes of data recovering, interpretation and dissemination. It is critical that this approach should be, as soon as possible, adopted by Archaeology that needs to evolve into more collaborative, openly accessible, audience oriented state and multi-layered, multi-dimensional and questionable content in order to keep up with the change and improvement in the information exchange brought by new media.

A Proposal for the preservation and integrated presentation of archaeological and natural resources in the case of METU Campus area Bağcı, Latife Sema; Bertram, Jan Krzysztof; İlgezdi Bertram, Gülçin; Department of Settlement Archaeology (2010) The subject of presentation of archaeological resources is still a developing concept in Turkey. The concepts of educational value and concern, needs a more common recognition and more practice in this context. The same statement goes for the management of natural resources. However, proper public presentation of archaeological and natural resources and public education in those is crucial for the protection of these resources. Moreover, an integrated presentation, approaching the archaeological resources w...
Conservation practices at foreign-run archaeological excavations in Turkey: a critical review Öz Wood, Bilge Nilgün; Bilgin Altınöz, Ayşe Güliz; Conservation of Cultural Heritage in Department of Architecture (2017) Foreign-run excavations are a significant component of archaeological research in Turkey, however, conservation work carried out at these excavations has not been examined in a holistic manner. This research investigates archaeological conservation at foreign-run excavations to identify the scale and nature of differing contributions, and to determine changing approaches, issues impacting conservation practices, as well as possible catalysts, influences and driving forces. The thematic scope, ‘conservation ...
Numerical comparison of retaining system behavior for a deep excavation case with and without ground improvement Maghsoudloo, Arash; Ahmadinaghadeh, Reza; Toker, Nabi Kartal (2012-11-02) In the construction of deep excavations in urban areas, the safety of adjacent ground and structures becomes major concern for engineers. In soft clays, the main reason for occurrence of large deflections of soil support systems in excavations is instability of the excavation base. This paper will focus on analyzing and comparing design of an excavation with and without jet grout improvement applied to the excavation base by employing the finite-element code PLAXIS. A well-documented case study is analyzed,...
Performance Evaluation of Pansharpening Methods on GPU for RASAT Images Acikgoz, Ibrahim Serdar; Teke, Mustafa; KUTBAY, UĞURHAN; HARDALAÇ, FIRAT (2015-06-19) Turkey is among the countries which could develop earth observation satellites. RASAT and Gokturk-2 satellites are still operational and continuously acquire images of the Earth. Their images are processed before sharing with end users. Pansharpening, at which high resolution pan and low resolution multi-spectral images are fused, is an important step in image processing chain. As the resolution and number of images increase, pansharpening of satellite images take considerable amount of time. Multithread pr...
Urban design competitions as discursive practice in Turkey: 1980-2009 Çimen, Devrim; Altaban, Özcan; Department of City and Regional Planning (2010) It is being observed that there has been an increase in the number of urban design competitions in the last decade in Turkey. Competitions are crucial methods of enriching theoretical and practical frameworks of the disciplines by creating a platform for discursive attitudes. That reveals the importance of the notion of competition as a process covering from the decision for organizing a competition to the decision of the jury for the winner and also post-competition events such as colloquium. Due to these ...
