Through-the-wall radar imaging is a research area which has gathered renewed interest with the development of powerful millimeter-wave sources and detectors. Imaging techniques that require some sort of reconstruction can suffer from slow speeds and lack of complexity in the data acquisition phase of the measurements. These reconstruction methods can be greatly improved using compressive sensing (CS)-based tools that increase speed during these processes. Here, a %V-band single-pixel imaging system based on CS, which utilizes a mechanically controlled spatial light modulator to rapidly acquire the image, is demonstrated for metallic targets placed behind drywall. The system uses a frequency-modulated continuous wave W-band transmitter to illuminate the wall and the target. The image reflected off the target's field of view is spatially modulated by 10 x 10 array patterned masks and the signals are collected through a heterodyne receiver. The system can differentiate and locate a behind-the-wall object through the frequency swept Michelson interferometry analysis, since the strong reflections from the surface of the wall and the object induce an interference effect, which is observed at the receiver. The overall design of the optical system is optimized with respect to the geometry of the modulation pattern in the image plane resulting in successfully reconstructed images of objects using CS-based algorithms. Using larger optics and uniquely patterned masks such techniques can provide the solutions toward cast-effective, rapid analysis of structural changes in or behind visibly opaque media.

Detection of airport runways in optical satellite images Zöngür, Uğur; Ulusoy, İlkay; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2009) Advances in hardware and pattern recognition techniques, along with the widespread utilization of remote sensing satellites, have urged the development of automatic target detection systems. Automatic detection of airports is particularly essential, due to the strategic importance of these targets. In this thesis, a detection method is proposed for airport runways, which is the most distinguishing element of an airport. This method, which operates on large optical satellite images, is composed of a segmenta...
Milimeterwave FMCW radar design İçöz, Dilşad; Hızal, Altunkan; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2009) In traffic radar system, Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) will be used since these radars are preferred in short distance and high range resolution systems. The system to be constructed is not only a system operating with Doppler principle and detection of speed; on the contrary a functional radar is planned to be produced. In various traffic radars in use, Doppler shift constituted by the targets causing high reflection within detection field is measured and the measured speed corresponding to th...
Design and implementation of low phase noise phase locked loop based local oscillator Bölücek, Muhsin Alperen; Yıldırım, Nevzat; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2009) In this thesis, a low phase noise local oscillator operating at 2210 MHz is designed and implemented to be used in X-Band transmitter of a LEO satellite. Designed local oscillator is a PLL (Phase Locked Loop) based frequency synthesizer which is implemented using discrete commercial components including ultra low noise voltage controlled oscillator and high resolution, low noise fractional-N synthesizer. Operational settings of the synthesizer are done using three wire serial interface of a microcontroller....
Tracker-aware adaptive detection: An efficient closed-form solution for the Neyman-Pearson case Aslan, Murat Samil; Saranlı, Afşar; Baykal, Buyurman (Elsevier BV, 2010-09-01) A promising line of research for radar systems attempts to optimize the detector thresholds so as to maximize the overall performance of a radar detector-tracker pair. In the present work, we attempt to move in a direction to fulfill this promise by considering a particular dynamic optimization scheme which relies on a non-simulation performance prediction (NSPP) methodology for the probabilistic data association filter (PDAF), namely, the modified Riccati equation (MRE). By using a suitable functional appr...
Image Mining Using Directional Spatial Constraints AKSOY, SELİM; Cinbiş, Ramazan Gökberk (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2010-01-01) Spatial information plays a fundamental role in building high-level content models for supporting analysts' interpretations and automating geospatial intelligence. We describe a framework for modeling directional spatial relationships among objects and using this information for contextual classification and retrieval. The proposed model first identifies image areas that have a high degree of satisfaction of a spatial relation with respect to several reference objects. Then, this information is incorporated...
