In this study, a global shape descriptor that we call Mixture of Poses (MoP) is proposed to solve human behavior understanding problem. Firstly, the Shape Context Descriptor (SCD) is obtained for each frame. SCD is a low level feature representing a single pose, that is the shape at a single frame. PCA is used for data reduction while obtaining SCDs. The collection of SCDs obtained in a video of a single action are clustered by a version of k-medoids algorithm. Center Poses, which are cluster medoids, are used in turn to initialize the mixture of Gaussians to be trained by expectation maximization algorithm. MoPs are these mixtures of Gaussians representing the distribution of SCDs. Number of mixtures in MoGs are found automatically by the system, since more clusters are emerged by itself for more complex actions undergoing with more different poses. Experiments are conducted on Weizmann dataset and quite encouraging results are obtained.

Development of synthetic and real-world pose estimation dataset to be used in human tracking system Ersoy, Mustafa; Koku, Ahmet Buğra; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2022-4-29) In this study, we propose an extendable, synthetic human pose estimation dataset named “Metupose”. Pose estimation aims to determine the pose of a person by detecting joints in an image or video. Dataset was created in Blender 3D software and with varying human objects and environment. It is also used to enhance the accuracy of pose estimation models in the literature. Metupose dataset contains 178000 images. Images have 1 to 4 people in it, where there is a total of 402000 people exist in these images. Whe...
Human behavior understanding using video analysis Gökçe, Celal Onur; Halıcı, Uğur; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2016) In this study we proposed a new hierarchical architecture for solution of human behavior understanding problem. A new dataset, namely football video game (FVG) dataset, is generated which involves activities more complex than any other dataset present in the literature. Football ball is detected using multilayer neural networks trained with gradient descent algorithm and enhanced using learning with queries method and it is tracked using growing window algorithm. After region of interest is extracted around...
Selection and utilization of criteria for process development in green production of organic chemicals Haydaroğlu, Şencan; Gürkan, Türker; Department of Chemical Engineering (2008) Sustainability and green engineering are two main concepts considered throughout this study. Sustainability deals with the utilization of renewable and replaceable sugar-based twelve most promising building blocks included in the report prepared by U.S. Department of Energy and green engineering concept is related with the incorporation of environmental performance criteria to chemical process design. Process performance criteria at the conceptual design stage are selected as persistence, bioaccumulation an...
Simulation of circulating fluidized bed combustors Göğebakan, Yusuf; Selçuk, Nevin; Department of Chemical Engineering (2006) A dynamic mathematical model for simulation of atmospheric circulating fluidized bed combustors has been developed on the basis of first principles and empirical correlations. The model accounts for dense and dilute zone hydrodynamics, volatiles release and combustion, char particles combustion and their size distribution, and heat transfer from/to gas, particles, waterwalls and refractory. Inputs to the model include configuration and dimensions of the combustor and its internals, air and coal flows, coal ...
Mathematical Modeling of Turbulent Flows of Newtonian Fluids in a Concentric Annulus with Pipe Rotation SORGUN, MEHMET; Aydın, İsmail; ÖZBAYOĞLU, Evren; SCHUBERT, J J (2012-03-01) In this study, a mathematical model is proposed to predict flow characteristics of Newtonian fluids inside a concentric horizontal annulus. A numerical solution, including pipe rotation, is developed for calculating frictional head losses in concentric annuli for turbulent flow. Navier-Stokes equations are numerically solved using the finite differences technique to obtain the velocity field. Experiments with water are performed in a concentric annulus with and without pipe rotation. Average fluid velocitie...
