Remote sensing is used in a spreading manner by many governmental and industrial institutions worldwide in recent years. Target detection has an important place among the applications developed using satellite imagery. In this paper, an original circular target detection algorithm has been proposed based on a radial transformation. The algorithm consists of three stages such as pre-processing, target detection, and post-processing. In the pre-processing stage, bilateral noise reduction filtering and vegetation detection operations are completed which they are required by target detection step. The target detection stage finds the circular target by a radial transformation algorithm and variables obtained from the training, and post-processing stage carries out the elimination of falsely detected targets by utilizing the vegetation information. The Petroleum Oil Lubricants (POL) depots in the industrial areas and harbors have been chosen as an application area of the proposed algorithm. The algorithm has been trained and tested on a data set which includes 4-band images with Near-Infrared band. Proposed algorithm is able to detect many circular targets with different types and sizes as a consequence of using a full radial transformation search as well as it gives rewarding results on industrial areas and harbors in the experiments conducted.

Dynamic stability flight tests of remote sensing measurement capable amphibious unmanned aerial vehicle (A-UAV) Yayla, Metehan; Mutlu, Talha; Coşgun, Volkan; Kurtuluş, Bedri; Kurtuluş, Dilek Funda; Tekinalp, Ozan (2013-09-13) Remote sensing techniques are widely used in earth sciences. Satellites and manned aircrafts are most common method for capturing remote sensing images. However, these techniques have some major disadvantages such as, high price, low image resolution, time restriction. Amphibious Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (A-UAV) is designed to integrate remote sensing measurement sensors to a Mini-UAV [Mutlu, 2012]. It can perform a 30 minutes of flight with 1 kg payload and 4 kg maximum take-off weight (MOTW). Main performa...
Road extraction from high resolution satellite images using adaptive boosting with multi-resolution analysis Çınar, Umut; Çetin, Yasemin; Department of Information Systems (2012) Road extraction from satellite or aerial imagery is a popular topic in remote sensing, and there are many road extraction algorithms suggested by various researches. However, the need of reliable remotely sensed road information still persists as there is no sufficiently robust road extraction algorithm yet. In this study, we explore the road extraction problem taking advantage of the multi-resolution analysis and adaptive boosting based classifiers. That is, we propose a new road extraction algorithm explo...
SeaDataCloud - Further developing the pan-European infrastructure for marine and ocean data management (SeaDataCloud) Kıdeyş, Ahmet Erkan(2020-11-31) The SeaDataNet pan-European infrastructure has been developed by NODCs and major research institutes from 34 countries. Over 100 marine data centres are connected and provide discovery and access to data resources for all European researchers. Moreover, SeaDataNet is a key infrastructure driving several portals of the European Marine Observation and Data network (EMODnet), initiated by EU DG-MARE for Marine Knowledge, MSFD, and Blue Growth. SeaDataNet complements the Copernicus Marine Environmental Monitori...
Optimal design and operation of land-treatment systems for petroleum hydrocarbons Kivanc, S; Ünlü, Kahraman (1999-04-22) Land treatment technology has been extensively used for the disposal of petroleum hydrocarbon containing wastes. Effective management of land treatment systems requires optimum design and operation of the system in order to achieve the fastest and most complete degradation of petroleum hydrocarbons without contamination of the environment. This paper describes a model that can be used for optimal design and operation of land treatment systems for petroleum hydrocarbon containing wastes. The model is compose...
Absorbance Estimation and Gas Emissions Detection in Hyperspectral Imagery Başkurt, Nur Didem; Gur, Yusuf; Omruuzun, Fatih; Çetin, Yasemin (2016-05-19) Hyperspectral imaging in gas detection applications is a leading and widely studied research topic thanks to its high spectral resolution and remote detection ability. The main problems in these applications covers the leakage detection, gas identification, and quantification. The proposed algorithm aims to reach the transmittance and absorbance features of the gas and to detect the gaseous region by using the measured radiance data from the hyperspectral infrared sensors.
