This study investigated the use of deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) in providing a solution for the problem of airport detection in remote sensing images (RSIs). In recent years, Deep CNNs have gained much attention with numerous applications having been undertaken in the area of computer vision. Researchers generally approach airport detection as a pattern recognition problem, in which first various distinctive features are extracted, and then a classifier is adopted to detect airports. CNNs not only ensure a tuned feature vector, but also yield better classification accuracy. The method proposed in this study first detects various regions on RSIs and then uses these candidate regions to train CNN architecture. The CNN model used has five convolution and three fully connected layers. Normalization and dropout layers were employed in order to build efficient architecture. A data augmentation strategy was used to reduce overfitting. Several experiments were performed to evaluate the performance of CNNs. Comparative work validated the efficiency of the proposed method and yielded an accuracy of 95.21%.

Efficient Airport Detection Using Line Segment Detector and Fisher Vector Representation Budak, Umit; Halıcı, Uğur; Sengur, Abdulkadir; Karabatak, Murat; Xiao, Yang (2016-08-01) In this letter, a two-stage method for airport detection on remote sensing images is proposed. In the first stage, a new algorithm composed of several line-based processing steps is used for extraction of candidate airport regions. In the second stage, the scale-invariant feature transformation and Fisher vector coding are used for efficient representation of the airport and nonairport regions and support vector machines employed for classification. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed metho...
Does estimated depth help object detection? Çetinkaya, Bedrettin; Akbaş, Emre; Department of Computer Engineering (2019) With the widespread use of RGB-D cameras, depth information has improved solutions of many computer vision problems including object detection. Object detection can exploit depth information and different encodings obtained from the depth map. Although previous works proved that depth information can be used to improve object detection results, this thesis investigates the effects of depth map to object detection from different aspects in detailed experiments. To clarify these effects, we examine the follow...
Unsupervised Change Detection in Satellite Images using Oversegmentation and Mutual Information Taskesen, Bahar; Besbinar, Beril; Koz, Alper; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (2017-05-18) In this paper, a novel solution to the problem of unsupervised change detection in bitemporal satellite images is presented. Information measures, which are well-known and commonly-used in the change detection literature, result in unsharp change maps and masks without well defined boundaries as a result of local computation. In the proposed method, mutual information with local joint distributions computed within the over-segments after image registration, radiometric correction and some preprocessing step...
Analysis of near-field ultra-wideband radar imaging algorithms Arabacı, Ahmet; Koç, Seyit Sencer; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2017) Recently, near-field ultra-wideband radar imaging algorithms have an important place in short range imaging applications by providing high resolution in both range and cross-range. In this study, the near-field ultra-wideband radar imaging algorithms in the literature such as Holographic Image Reconstruction Algorithm, Range Migration Algorithm, MIMO Based Range Migration Algorithm and MIMO Based Kirchhoff Migration Algorithm have been implemented using MATLAB. The algorithms are applied to modeled transmit...
Alignment of uncalibrated images for multi-view classification Arık, Sercan Ömer; Vural, Elif; Frossard, Pascal (2011-12-29) Efficient solutions for the classification of multi-view images can be built on graph-based algorithms when little information is known about the scene or cameras. Such methods typically require a pairwise similarity measure between images, where a common choice is the Euclidean distance. However, the accuracy of the Euclidean distance as a similarity measure is restricted to cases where images are captured from nearby viewpoints. In settings with large transformations and viewpoint changes, alignment of im...
