Near-field ultrawideband imaging is a promising remote sensing technique in various applications such as airport security, surveillance, medical diagnosis, and through-wall imaging. Recently, there has been increasing interest in using sparse multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) arrays to reduce hardware complexity and cost. In this paper, based on a Bayesian estimation framework, an optimal design method is presented for two-dimensional MIMO arrays in ultrawideband imaging. The optimality criterion is defined based on the image reconstruction quality obtained with the design, and the optimization is performed over all possible locations of antenna elements using an algorithm called clustered sequential backward selection algorithm. The designs obtained with this approach are compared with that of some commonly used sparse array configurations in terms of image reconstruction quality for various noise levels.

Performance evaluation of similarity measures for dense multimodal stereovision
Yaman, Mustafa; Kalkan, Sinan (SPIE-Intl Soc Optical Eng, 2016-05-01)
Multimodal imaging systems have recently been drawing attention in fields such as medical imaging, remote sensing, and video surveillance systems. In such systems, estimating depth has become possible due to the promising progress of multimodal matching techniques. We perform a systematic performance evaluation of similarity measures frequently used in the literature for dense multimodal stereovision. The evaluated measures include mutual information (MI), sum of squared distances, normalized cross-correlat...
Deep learning-based reconstruction methods for near-field MIMO radar imaging
Manisalı, İrfan; Öktem, Sevinç Figen; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2022-6-29)
Near-field multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar imaging systems are of interest in diverse fields such as medicine, through-wall imaging, airport security, and surveillance. These computational imaging systems reconstruct the three-dimensional scene reflectivity distribution from the radar data. Hence their imaging performance largely depends on the image reconstruction method. The analytical reconstruction methods suffer from either low image quality or high computational cost. In fact, sparsity-bas...
Automatic Bayesian segmentation of human facial tissue using 3D MR-CT fusion by incorporating models of measurement blurring, noise and partial volume
Şener, Emre; Kanoğlu, Utku; Mumcuoğlu, Ünal Erkan; Department of Engineering Sciences (2012)
Segmentation of human head on medical images is an important process in a wide array of applications such as diagnosis, facial surgery planning, prosthesis design, and forensic identification. In this study, a new Bayesian method for segmentation of facial tissues is presented. Segmentation classes include muscle, bone, fat, air and skin. The method incorporates a model to account for image blurring during data acquisition, a prior helping to reduce noise as well as a partial volume model. Regularization ba...
Intelligent healthcare monitoring system based on semantically enriched clinical guidelines
Laleci, Gökçe Banu; Doğaç, Asuman; Department of Computer Engineering (2008)
Clinical guidelines are developed to assist healthcare practitioners to make decisions on a patient's medical problems and as such they communicate with external applications to retrieve patient data, to initiate medical actions through clinical workflows and to transmit information to alert/reminder systems. The interoperability problems in the healthcare IT domain for interacting with heterogeneous clinical workflow systems and Electronic Healthcare Record (EHR) Systems prevent wider deployment of clinica...
