An automatic method for segmenting glottis in high speed endoscopic video (HSV) images of vocal folds is proposed. The method is based on image histogram modeling. Three fundamental problems in automatic histogram based processing of HSV images, which are automatic localization of vocal folds, deformation of the intensity distribution by nonuniform illumination, and ambiguous segmentation when glottal gap is small, are addressed. The problems are solved by using novel masking, illumination, and reflectance modeling methods. The overall algorithm has three stages: masking, illumination modeling, and segmentation. Firstly, a mask is determined based on total variation norm for the region of interest in HSV images. Secondly, a planar illumination model is estimated from consecutive HSV images and reflectance image is obtained. Reflectance images of the masked HSV are used to form a vertical slice image whose reflectance distribution is modeled by a Gaussian mixture model (GMM). Finally, estimated GMM is used to isolate the glottis from the background. Results show that proposed method provides about 94% improvements with respect to manually segmented data in contrast to conventional method which uses Rayleigh intensity distribution in extracting the glottal areas.

Nonlinear 3D Modeling and Vibration Analysis of Horizontal Drum Type Washing Machines Baykal, Cem; Ciğeroğlu, Ender; Yazıcıoğlu, Yiğit (2020-01-01) In this study, a nonlinear 3-D mathematical model for horizontal drum type washing machines is developed considering rotating unbalance type excitation. Nonlinear differential equations of motion are converted into a set of nonlinear algebraic equations by using Harmonic Balance Method (HBM). The resulting nonlinear algebraic equations are solved by using Newton’s method with arc-length continuation. Several case studies are performed in order to observe the effects of orientation angles of springs and damp...
Local thermal resonance control of GaInP photonic crystal membrane cavities using ambient gas cooling Sokolov, Sergei; LİAN, Jin; Yüce, Emre; COMBRİÉ, Sylvain; LEHOUCQ, Gaelle; De Rossi, Alfredo; Mosk, Allard P. (2015-04-27) We perform spatially dependent tuning of a GaInP photonic crystal cavity using a continuous wave violet laser. Local tuning is obtained by laser heating of the photonic crystal membrane. The cavity resonance shift is measured for different pump positions and for two ambient gases: He and N-2. We find that the width of the temperature profile induced in the membrane depends strongly on the thermal conductivity of the ambient gas. For He gas, a narrow spatial width of the temperature profile of 2.8 mu m is pr...
Automatic segmentation of cristae membranes in 3d electron microscopy tomography images using artificial neural networks Karadeniz, Merih Alphan; Mumcuoğlu, Ünal Erkan; Department of Medical Informatics (2016) Electron Microscopy Tomography (EMT) technique produces 3D images of cells comprising hundreds of slices of high resolution frames. Segmentation of membranes in these images are necessary in order to reveal the relations between the structural components of the cell and its behaviour. The physical shape of the crista which is a membrane of the mitochondria has been hypostatized for being an early indicator for many diseases or mitochondrial dysfunctions. Automatic segmentation of cristae in EMT images are n...
Thin Film PZT Acoustic Sensor for Fully Implantable Cochlear Implants İlik, Bedirhan; Koyuncuoğlu, Aziz; Uluşan, Hasan; Chamanıan, Salar; Işık Akçakaya, Dilek; Şardan Sukas, Özlem; Külah, Haluk (2017-09-06) This paper presents design and fabrication of a MEMS-based thin film piezoelectric transducer to be placed on an eardrum for fully-implantable cochlear implant (FICI) applications. Resonating at a specific frequency within the hearing band, the transducer senses eardrum vibration and generates the required voltage output for the stimulating circuitry. Moreover, high sensitivity of the sensor, 391.9 mV/Pa @900 Hz, decreases the required power for neural stimulation. The transducer provides highest voltage ou...
Robustness Analysis of Intentional Mistuning Patterns in Randomly Mistuned Bladed Disk Assemblies Yumer, M. E.; Ciğeroğlu, Ender; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat (2010-09-22) It is known that bladed disks, which are usually designed as cyclically symmetric structures, undergo considerable amount of forced response amplitude magnification due to the phenomenon called mistuning. Mistuning is inevitable for any cyclically symmetric bladed disk assembly since it is caused by manufacturing tolerances, material properties and operational wear. Since reducing the level of mistuning beyond certain limits is not possible with the current technology, the attempts are rather made to reduce...
