In this study, we propose a correlation based variational change detection (CVCD) method for elevation models. In essence, CVCD aims to produce smooth change maps while preserving the details of the terrain by minimizing a variational cost function. Proposed cost function is constructed with a novel data fidelity term using normalized correlation coefficient and l(1)-norm total variation regularization term. An effective algorithm is suggested to minimize the cost function using simple approximations in an iterative method. Quantitative experiments on synthetic noisy data show that CVCD can provide a detection rate of 95% while staying in the low false alarm regime, i.e. less than 10(-2). Also, qualitative experiments on real-world data show the success of the CVCD for the changes with different characteristics.

Finite-Difference Sensitivity Calculation in Iteratively Solved Problems
Eyi, Sinan (2011-01-01)
In this study, the accuracy of the finite-difference sensitivities is examined in iteratively solved problems. The aim of this research is to reduce the error in the finite difference sensitivity calculations. The norm value of the finite-difference sensitivity error in the state variables is minimized with respect to the finite-difference step size. The optimum finitedifference step size is formulated as a function of the norm values of both convergence error and higher order sensitivities. In order to cal...
Effect of temperature on heavy oil/water relative permeabilities
Akın, Serhat; Brigham, William E. (1999-01-01)
In the first part of this study, the accuracy of the JBN technique for the determination of heavy oil/water relative permeabilities, and the effect of temperature on relative permeabilities is examined by giving numerical as well as experimental examples. Using the JBN technique leads to a false temperature dependence of relative permeability curves. In the second part, we present unsteady state relative permeability experiments with initial brine saturation at differing temperatures conducted using South B...
Convergence Error and Higher-Order Sensitivity Estimations
Eyi, Sinan (2012-10-01)
The aim of this study is to improve the accuracy of the finite-difference sensitivities of differential equations solved by iterative methods. New methods are proposed to estimate the convergence error and higher-order sensitivities. The convergence error estimation method is based on the eigenvalue analysis of linear systems, but it can also be used for nonlinear systems. The higher-order sensitivities are calculated by differentiating the approximately constructed differential equation with respect to the...
Multi-criteria decision making with interdependent criteria using prospect theory
Bozkurt, Ahmet; Karasakal, Esra; Department of Industrial Engineering (2007)
In this study, an integrated solution methodology for a general discrete multi-criteria decision making problem is developed based on the well-known outranking method Promethee II. While the methodology handles the existence of interdependency between the criteria, it can also incorporate the prospect theory in order to correctly reflect the decision behavior of the decision maker. A software is also developed for the application of the methodology and some applications are performed and presented.
Evaluation of environmental parameters in logistic regression models for landslide susceptibility mapping
Süzen, Mehmet Lütfi (Informa UK Limited, 2012-01-01)
The aim of this study was to determine how well the landslide susceptibility parameters, obtained by data-dependent statistical models, matched with the parameters used in the literature. In order to achieve this goal, 20 different environmental parameters were mapped in a well-studied landslide-prone area, the Asarsuyu catchment in northwest Turkey. A total of 4400 seed cells were generated from 47 different landslides and merged with different attributes of 20 different environmental causative variables i...
