In this study, novel techniques are presented addressing the challenges of stereo matching algorithms for surveillance and vehicle control. For this purpose, one of the most efficient local stereo matching techniques, namely permeability filter, is modified in terms of road plane geometry and temporal consistency in order to take the major challenges of such a scenario into account. Relaxing smoothness assumption of the permeability filter along vertical axis enables extraction of road geometry with high accuracy, even for the cases where ground plane does not contain sufficient textural information. On the other hand, temporal smoothness is enforced by transferring reliable depth assignments against illumination changes, reflections and instant occlusions. According to the extensive experiments on a recent challenging stereo video dataset, the proposed modifications provide reliable disparity maps under severe challenges and low texture distribution, improving scene analyses for surveillance related applications. Although improvements are illustrated for a specific local stereo matching algorithm, the presented specifications and modifications can be applied for the other similar stereo algorithms as well.

An Efficient Fuzzy Fusion-Based Framework for Surveillance Applications in Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks
Sert, Seyyit Alper; Yazıcı, Adnan; Coşar, Ahmet; Yilmazer, Cengiz (2014-08-08)
This study is focused on a new approach for addressing the trade-off between accuracy and energy-efficiency of Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks. Although a number of previous studies have focused on various special topics in Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks in detail, to best of our knowledge, none presents a fuzzy multi-modal data fusion system, which is light-weight and provides a high accuracy ratio. Especially, multi-modal data fusion targeting surveillance applications make it inevitable to work ...
Improved Multi-Dimensional Hough Transform as a Track-Before-Detect Method
Sahin, Gozde; Demirekler, Mübeccel (2014-04-25)
This study proposes an improved Multi-Dimensional Hough Transform technique for the detection of low SNR targets (dim targets) in radar data. The proposed Track-Before-Detect technique improves the Multi-Dimensional Hough Transform by limiting the target's maximum velocity and incorporating the SNR values of the targets in the algorithm. In addition, the performance is enhanced by confirming the Hough Transform results with a score-based confirmation algorithm.
An Approach for System Identification in Unmanned Surface Vehicles
Erunsal, Izzet Kagan; Ahiska, Kenan; Kumru, Murat; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal (2017-10-21)
In this study, a system identification methodology is introduced to determine the model parameters of unmanned surface vehicles. The proposed identification scheme is based on sequencing the experiments according to their capabilities to identify the model parameters. In each experiment, the parameters to be found are updated and the results are validated before ascertaining the final value. A procedure to complete the identification work in an experiment, namely the required post-processing, the optimizati...
An Analysis for the Correlation of Coverage and Spatial Resolution for Wireless Sensor Networks
Tomur, Emrah; Erten, Y. Murat (2007-12-10)
In this study, we investigate the interactions between coverage and spatial resolution for cluster-based wireless sensor networks (WSN). We present an approximate probabilistic analysis for the mentioned correlation and verify this analysis by simulation. Our analysis includes the k-coverage case.
Radar target classification method with reduced aspect dependency and improved noise performance using multiple signal classification algorithm
SEÇMEN, MUSTAFA; Sayan, Gönül (Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), 2009-12-01)
This study introduces a novel aspect and polarisation invariant radar target classification method based on the use of multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm for feature extraction. In the suggested method, for each candidate target at each designated reference aspect, feature matrices called 'MUSIC spectrum matrices (MSMs)' are constructed using the target's scattered data at different late-time intervals. An individual MSM corresponds to a map of a target's natural resonance-related power distri...
