Mobility information of cell phone users is very important for wide range of applications, including context-based search and advertising, early warning systems, city-wide sensing applications such as air pollution exposure estimation and traffic planning. With the inclusion of new technologies in the cell phone hardware such as built-in GPS and 802.11 supports, mobility information are easily captured, managed and forwarded to a remote system via opportunistic connections over Internet. However, it is very difficult to use these low level location data for practical applications due to lack of sufficient information including high level location and temporal data. In order to solve this problem, we propose a Web Based Mobility Analysis System which collects location data from cell phone users via opportunistic Internet connections and convert these low level location data to high level mobility information as well as adding a temporal dimension. In our experiments, we have illustrated the benefits of our systems on the Reality Mining data set which contains 350K hours of real cell tower connection data.

Road extraction from high-resolution satellite images Özkaya, Meral; Temizel, Alptekin; Department of Information Systems (2009) Roads are significant objects of an infrastructure and the extraction of roads from aerial and satellite images are important for different applications such as automated map generation and change detection. Roads are also important to detect other structures such as buildings and urban areas. In this thesis, the road extraction approach is based on Active Contour Models for 1- meter resolution gray level images. Active Contour Models contains Snake Approach. During applications, the road structure was sepa...
CROWD COUNTING, LOCALIZATION AND ANOMALY DETECTION WITH CONVLSTM BASED CNN USING SYNTHETIC IMAGES Coşkun, Muhammet Furkan; Akar, Gözde; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2022-6-28) Crowd analysis related tasks have a wide range of real-life applications such as mass surveillance, safety monitoring, disaster management, traffic control and public area design. There are different novel works on crowd counting, localization and abnormal event detection tasks in the computer vision literature. In this study, we propose a ConvLSTM based Convolutional Neural Network to solve these three problems together in a single network. Our proposed model is a combination of P2P-Net architecture, whic...
Forecasting user behaviors in call detail records using LSTM models Kocaman, Hasan; Toroslu, İsmail Hakkı; Department of Computer Engineering (2021-2-13) City planners, governors and mobile phone operators utilize quite from Call DetailRecords (CDR) data in the fields like optimizations of traffic congestion, event de-tection, billing and advertisement policies. Both individual and crowd analyses helpimproving the quality of services.In this thesis, we present regression and classification analysis for three main prob-lems. In regression analysis, we experiment on call counts and call time-sums ofspecified numbers of users. We propose cluster based and ...
Finite-horizon online energy-efficient transmission scheduling schemes for communication links Bacınoğlu, Baran Tan; Uysal Bıyıkoğlu, Elif; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2013) The proliferation of embedded systems, mobile devices, wireless sensor applications and increasing global demand for energy directed research attention toward self-sustainable and environmentally friendly systems. In the field of communications, this new trend pointed out the need for study of energy constrained communication and networking. Particularly, in the literature, energy efficient transmission schemes have been well studied for various cases. However, fundamental results have been obtained mostly ...
Text recognition and correction for automated data collection by mobile devices Ozarslan, Suleyman; Eren, Pekin Erhan (2014-02-06) Participatory sensing is an approach which allows mobile devices such as mobile phones to be used for data collection, analysis and sharing processes by individuals. Data collection is the first and most important part of a participatory sensing system, but it is time consuming for the participants. In this paper, we discuss automatic data collection approaches for reducing the time required for collection, and increasing the amount of collected data. In this context, we explore automated text recognition o...
