t: Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) allows collection of dense 3D point cloud data that captures a structure's as-is conditions. The geometric information from the collected data could be used to generate a 3D-model of the structure. However, the generated model usually lacks functional information - a basic requirement for a semantically rich information model. Some of the functional information (such as cost, mechanical and thermal performance) could be derived if the material used in a particular geometry is identified. The material related information in the collected data, which is mostly underutilized in the construction industry, could be potentially used for material identification. This paper investigates the possibility of material identification from the TLS data using the obtained scaled reflectance intensity (I ) from the laser scanner and the Red-Green-Blue (RGB) values from the in-built camera images. For this purpose, structural concrete, light-weight concrete and clay brick samples were scanned under two different conditions: (i) high/low ambient illumination, (ii) dry/wet surface. Obtained results show that scanned materials have different I distributions. The illumination conditions have no effect on the obtained I distribution; however, the surface moisture conditions vary the measured I distributions considerably. Recorded RGB values of the illuminated samples could be used as a secondary parameter for material identification. These results show that TLS has a potential of augmenting the visual material identification processes.

Analysis of Airborne LiDAR Point Clouds With Spectral Graph Filtering Bayram, Eda; Frossard, Pascal; Vural, Elif; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2018-08-01) Separation of ground and nonground measurements is an essential task in the analysis of light detection and ranging (LiDAR) point clouds; however, it is challenge to implement a LiDAR filtering algorithm that integrates the mathematical definition of various landforms. In this letter, we propose a novel LiDAR filtering algorithm that adapts to the irregular structure and 3-D geometry of LiDAR point clouds. We exploit weighted graph representations to analyze the 3-D point cloud on its original domain. Then,...
Investigation of effect of design and operating parameters on acoustophoretic particle separation via 3D device-level simulations Sahin, Mehmet Akif; ÇETİN, BARBAROS; Özer, Mehmet Bülent (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-12-16) In the present study, a 3D device-level numerical model is implemented via finite element method to assess the effects of design and operating parameters on the separation performance of a microscale acoustofluidic device. Elastodynamic equations together with electromechanical coupling at the piezoelectric actuators for the stress field within the solid parts, Helmholtz equation for the acoustic field within fluid, and Navier-Stokes equations for the fluid flow are coupled for the simulations. Once the zer...
Evaluation of Sparsity-based Methods for Parameterized Source Separation Baskaya, Hasan Can; Öktem, Sevinç Figen (2020-10-07) Parametric reconstruction problems arise in many areas such as array processing, wireless communication, source separation, and spectroscopy. In a parametric recovery problem, the unknown model parameters in each superimposed signal are estimated from noisy observations. Sparsity-based methods used in compressive sensing are also applied to parametric recovery problems. These methods discretize the parameter space to form a dictionary whose atoms correspond to candidate parameter values, represent the data ...

In this paper, we analyze theoptimal design of a snapshot spectral imaging technique. Thissnapshot multi-spectral imaging technique uses a diffractive lenscalled generalized photon sieve, and vari...
Numerical analysis of long wavelength infrared HgCdTe photodiodes Kocer, H.; Arslan, Y.; Beşikci, Cengiz (2012-01-01) We present a detailed investigation of the performance limiting factors of long and very long wavelength infrared (LWIR and VLWIR) p on n Hg1-xCdxTe detectors through numerical simulations at 77 K incorporating all considerable generation-recombination (G-R) mechanisms including trap assisted tunneling (TAT), Shockley-Read-Hall (SRH), Auger and radiative processes. The results identify the relative strengths of the dark current generation mechanisms by numerically extracting the contribution of each G-R mec...
