Estimating the location of a radiating source is crucial in a wide variety of fields, such as military applications, navigation systems and geophysics. In such fields, power and cost limitations, requirement of remaining undetected or the nature of the problem may necessitate passive localization techniques. One of such techniques is time difference of arrival (TDOA) based source localization. In this thesis, TDOA based closed-form source localization methods are studied. An extensive overview of the available methods is given. Some modifications are made on the existing methods to solve some ambiguities, reduce computational cost and increase estimation performance. Moreover, sensor and source distribution scenarios causing the problem to be ill-conditioned are analyzed. A new method robust to ill-conditioned cases, namely efficient constrained weighted least squares with coordinate separation (ECWLS-CS) is proposed. Existing methods and the proposed one are implemented in the same framework and compared under certain scenarios.

An Embedded spatial statistics toolbox (R techniques) in open source GİS software (uDig)
Çavur, Mahmut; Düzgün, H. Şebnem; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2016)
It is widely considered that geographic information systems (GIS) should include more spatial data analysis (SDA) techniques. The issues of which techniques should be included and how statistical analysis can be integrated with GIS are still widely debated. However, the typical software does not include all geospatial techniques. In this respect, this thesis focuses on the means to develop a framework which implements R spatial statistical techniques in the uDig GIS so that GIS and spatial statistical analy...
Estimation of Deterministic and Stochastic IMU Error Parameters
Unsal, Derya; Demirbaş, Kerim (2012-04-26)
Inertial Measurement Units, the main component of a navigation system, are used in several systems today. IMU's main components, gyroscopes and accelerometers, can be produced at a lower cost and higher quantity. Together with the decrease in the production cost of sensors it is observed that the performances of these sensors are getting worse. In order to improve the performance of an IMU, the error compensation algorithms came into question and several algorithms have been designed. Inertial sensors conta...
DESIGN AND SIMULATION OF CIRCULAR ARRAYS OF TRAPEZOIDAL-TOOTH LOG-PERIODIC ANTENNAS VIA GENETIC OPTIMIZATION
Gurel, L.; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2008-01-01)
Circular arrays of log-periodic (LP) antennas are designed and their operational properties are investigated in a sophisticated simulation environment that is based on the recent advances in computational electromagnetics. Due to the complicated structures of the trapezoidal-tooth array elements and the overall array configuration, their analytical treatments are prohibitively difficult. Therefore, the simulation results presented in this paper are essential for their analysis and design. We present the des...
A progressive approach for processing satellite data by operational research
KUTER, SEMİH; Weber, Gerhard-Wilhelm; Akyürek, Sevda Zuhal (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2017-07-01)
Satellite data, together with spatial technologies, have a vital importance in earth sciences to continuously monitor natural and physical processes. However, images taken by earth-observing satellites are often associated with uncertainties due to atmospheric effects (i.e., absorption and scattering by atmospheric gases and aerosols). In this paper, a more adaptable approach for the removal of atmospheric effects from satellite data is introduced within an operational research perspective by utilizing nonp...
Weighted multi-visibility analysis on directional paths
Şeker, Çağıl; Toprak, Vedat; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2010)
Visibility analysis is an important GIS tool that is used in a diverse array of disciplines ranging from earth sciences to telecommunications. Multi-visibility, as a cumulative type of visibility, combines many point-to-point results into a multi-value array. Points, lines, or areas can be used as sources or targets; and the combined values can be calculated in both ways. Through multi-visibility, a special 2.5D visibility value surface can be constructed over a digital elevation model. The effectiveness of...
