Kerimoğlu, Ceren
This study aims to find common levels of graph simplification between a rule based method and humans. A graph simplification method was implemented based on a grammatical set of rules. (Kulik & Egenhofer, 2003) Also an experiment was conducted with human participants. In the experiment, the subjects were asked to simplify a set of line graphs. The outputs of the graph simplification algorithm were compared with the human sketches. The results reveal a systematic relationship between the prediction of the rule sets and human sketches. The level of simplification in human sketches was also influenced by working memory span characteristics.

Probabilistic Slope Stability Analyses Using Limit Equilibrium and Finite Element Methods
Akbas, Burak; Huvaj Sarıhan, Nejan (2015-10-16)
This paper compares the results of different probabilistic approaches and emphasizes the necessity of probabilistic analyses in slope stability studies. To do that, Limit Equilibrium Method (LEM) and Finite Element Method (FEM) are utilized and their outputs are compared in terms of probability of failure (PF), reliability index (RI), factor of safety (FS) and the failure surface. Lastly, concept of Random Finite Element Method (RFEM) is studied and effects of spatial correlation distance are investigated.
3D cognitive map construction by active stereo vision in a virtual world
ULUSOY PARNAS, İLKAY; Halıcı, Uğur; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal (2004-10-29)
In this study, a multi-scale phase based disparity algorithm is developed. This algorithm is then applied in a simulated world. In this world there is a virtual robot which has a stereo camera system simulated with the properties similar to human eyes and there are 3D virtual objects having predefined simple shapes. The virtual robot explores its environment intelligently based on some heuristics. Only stereo images rendered from the virtual world are supplied to the robot. The robot extracts depth informat...
Evaluation of environmental parameters in logistic regression models for landslide susceptibility mapping
Süzen, Mehmet Lütfi (Informa UK Limited, 2012-01-01)
The aim of this study was to determine how well the landslide susceptibility parameters, obtained by data-dependent statistical models, matched with the parameters used in the literature. In order to achieve this goal, 20 different environmental parameters were mapped in a well-studied landslide-prone area, the Asarsuyu catchment in northwest Turkey. A total of 4400 seed cells were generated from 47 different landslides and merged with different attributes of 20 different environmental causative variables i...
Nonlinear dynamic modeling of gear-shaft-disk-bearing systems using finite elements and describing functions
Maliha, R; Dogruer, CU; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat (ASME International, 2004-05-01)
This study presents a new nonlinear dynamic model for a gear-shaft-disk-bearing system. A nonlinear dynamic model of a spur gear pair is coupled with linear finite element models of shafts carrying them, and with discrete models of bearings and disks. The nonlinear elasticity term resulting from backlash is expressed by a describing function, and a method developed in previous studies to determine multi harmonic responses of nonlinear multi-degree-of-freedom systems is employed for the solution. The excitat...
Vision based obstacle detection and avoidance using low level image features
Senlet, Turgay; Halıcı, Uğur; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006)
This study proposes a new method for obstacle detection and avoidance using low-level MPEG-7 visual descriptors. The method includes training a neural network with a subset of MPEG-7 visual descriptors extracted from outdoor scenes. The trained neural network is then used to estimate the obstacle presence in real outdoor videos and to perform obstacle avoidance. In our proposed method, obstacle avoidance solely depends on the estimated obstacle presence data. In this study, backpropagation algorithm on mult...
