We propose utilization of thermal camera recordings along with simultaneous EMG recordings to monitor the dynamically changing affective state of a human. Affective state is depicted along the valence and arousal dimensions, such that readings from EMG are mapped onto the valence axis and readings from the thermal camera are mapped onto the arousal axis. The combined system increases the accuracy in prediction of affective states due to a larger palette of extracted features.

Evaluation of the Perceived Naturalness of Artificial Reverberation Algorithms
Djordjević, Stojan; Hacıhabiboğlu, Hüseyin; Cvetkovic, Zoran; De Sena, Enzo (2020-06-02)
Listening tests were carried out using a modified MUSHRA method to compare the perceived naturalness of reverberation generated using scattering delay networks (SDNs), feedback delay networks (FDNs), CATT- Acoustic modelling, and convolution with recorded room impulse responses. The difference in naturalness ratings achieved by reverberation generated using FDNs and SDNs was statistically significant, with the mean rating being 12% higher for SDN stimuli than for FDN stimuli. It was also found that CATT-Aco...
Graph-based joint channel estimation and data detection for large-scale multiuser MIMO-OFDM systems /
Tekin, Şeref Yaşar; Yılmaz, Ali Özgür; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2015)
In this thesis, a graph-based soft iterative receiver for large-scale multiuser MIMO-OFDM systems is proposed that performs joint channel estimation and data detection over time-varying frequency selective channel. In an uplink scenario, factor graph structures for the transmitter of users and the receiver of base-station are presented, which provide Gaussian message passing between nodes. Instead of LLR, reliability information of symbols are used to decrease complexity of the proposed algorithm. Training ...
Opti-acoustic stereo imaging
Saç, Hakan; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Salor Durna, Özgül; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2012)
In this thesis, opti-acoustic stereo imaging, which is the deployment of two-dimensional (2D) high frequency imaging sonar with the electro-optical camera in calibrated stereo configuration, is studied. Optical cameras give detailed images in clear waters. However, in dark or turbid waters, information coming from electro-optical sensor is insufficient for accurate scene perception. Imaging sonars, also known as acoustic cameras, can provide enhanced target details under these scenarios. To illustrate these...
Analysis of a calibration method for airborne receive-only phased array antennas with self-alignment
Elik, Furkan Bahadır; Demir, Şimşek; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2022-9-15)
The calibration of the phased array antennas plays crucial role to ensure the performance of the beam steering capability. Most of the guided missiles utilize phased arrays, thus, the calibration routines should be optimized. Since guided missiles are spatially limited, calibration hardware should not introduce new geometry to the antenna. This limits possible calibration methods of the antennas on the missiles. This study develops a calibration method for semi-active guided missiles and analyzes this metho...
Analysis of vision aided inertial navigation systems
Yuksel, Yigiter; Kaygisiz, H. Burak (2006-04-19)
We propose in this paper a method to integrate inertial navigation systems with electro optic imaging devices. Our method is based on updating the inertial navigation system in a Kalman filter structure using line of sight measurements obtained from a camera. The proposed method is analyzed based on a UAV scenario generated by our trajectory simulator and the results are provided here. The results show that even a single vision aid can improve the performance of inertial navigation system.
