In the field of vision based robot actuation, in order to manipulate objects in an environment, background separation and object selection a re fundamental tasks that should be carried out in a fast and efficient way. In this paper, we propose a method to segment possible object locations in the scene and recognize them via local-point based representation. Exploiting the resulting 3D structure of the scene via a time-of-flight camera, background regions are eliminated with the assumption that the objects are placed on planar surfaces. Next, object recognition is performed using scale invariant features in the captured high resolution images via standard camera. The preliminary experimental results show that the proposed system gives promising results for background segmentation and object recognition, especially for the service robot environments, which could also be utilized as a pre-processing step in path planning and 3D scene map generation.

In this paper we focus on the effect of different interface designs on the performance and cognitive workload of sensor operators (SO) during a target detection task in a simulated environment. Functional near-infrared (fNIR) spectroscopy is used to investigate whether there is a relationship between target detection performance across three SO interfaces and brain activation data obtained from the subjects’ prefrontal cortices that are associated with relevant higher-order cognitive functions such as atten...
Utilization of dense depth information for monoview object detection and instance segmentation
Çakırgöz, Çağlayan Can; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2022-5-10)
Object detection aims for detecting objects of certain classes in an image by bounding them in rectangular boxes whereas instance segmentation tries to detect objects in pixel level. Deep learning techniques, which have shown great improvements over the last decade, are utilized in these topics as well, and a significant success is achieved against the traditional methods. Similar improvements can be observed in dense depth estimation which deals with deducing dense information of a scene from a single imag...

Optimization of design parameter for tonpilz type transducers
Çiçek, Merve; Çalışkan, Mehmet; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2014)
Design of a Tonpilz type transducer is a complex process involving many design parameters which may affect each other. Therefore, an optimum design is a difficult task to reach. The purpose of this study is to optimize design parameters of Tonpilz type transducers. The study involves three different transducer modeling techniques. Each of these models is explained and benchmarked with the help of published experimental data. The simplest model is exploited to produce initial data for unknown design paramete...
Recursive shortest spanning tree algorithms for image segmentation
Bayramoglu, NY; Bazlamaçcı, Cüneyt Fehmi (2005-11-24)
Image segmentation has an important role in image processing and the speed of the segmentation algorithm may become a drawback for some applications. This study analyzes the run time performances of some variations of the Recursive Shortest Spanning Tree Algorithm (RSST) and proposes simple but effective modifications on these algorithms to improve their speeds. In addition, the effect of link weight cost function on the run time performance and the segmentation quality is examined. For further improvement ...
