This study aims to experimentally investigate the feasibility of discriminating human motions with the help of micro-Doppler features by using radar. In the first phase of the work, the synthetic data is generated through the human walking simulator by V. Chen and different time-frequency transformations are applied on the data. In the following phase, several field experiments are conducted and the experimental data for running, crawling, creeping and walking with the aspect angles of 0 degrees, 30 degrees, 60 degrees are collected and spectrograms are obtained. Lastly, six features, which are torso frequency, bandwidth of the signal, offset of the signal, bandwidth without micro-Dopplers, the standard deviation of the signal strength, the period of the arms or legs motions are extracted from the spectrograms and the efficiencies of the features in motion classification are compared.

The Radar Application of Micro Doppler Features from Human Motions ALEMDAROGLU, Ozge Topuz; Candan, Çağatay; Koç, Seyit Sencer (2015-05-15) This study aims to experimentally investigate the feasibility of discriminating human motions with the help of micro Doppler features by using radar. In the first phase of the work, the synthetic data is generated through the human walking simulator by V. Chen and different time-frequency transformations are applied on the data and the results of the simulator are compared with field experiments. In the following phase, several field experiments which are in the scope of the simulator are conducted and the ...
The Application of micro doppler features in target classification Topuz Alemdaroğlu, Özge; Yıldırım, Nevzat; Koç, Seyit Sencer; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014) This study aims to experimentally investigate the feasibility of discriminating human motions with the help of micro Doppler features by using radar. In this work, the human walking simulator by V. Chen is examined and is modified according to requirements of the study. Then, the time-frequency distributions to obtain the spectrograms of human motions are examined and the Wigner Ville Distribution and Short Time Fourier Transform (STFT) are chosen for the application. After the simulation studies, experimen...
A generative model for multi class object recognition and detection Ulusoy, İlkay (2006-01-01) In this study, a generative type probabilistic model is proposed for object recognition. This model is trained by weakly labelled images and performs classification and detection at the same time. When test on highly challenging data sets, the model performs good for both tasks (classification and detection).
Binalarda Güneş Kontrol Yöntemlerinin Optimizasyon Temelli Performans Değerlendirilmesi Gürsel Dino, İpek (2017-01-01) Bu çalışmada, binalarda farklı güneş kontrol yöntemlerinin karşıtlaştırmalı analizini, bir genetik optimizasyon algoritması ile destekleyen bir tasarım aracı ve yöntem, önerilmektedir. Çalışmada ilk olarak farklı cam alternatifleri ve sıklıkla kullanılan bazı standart gölgeleme yöntemlerinin oluşturduğu sekiz senaryo geliştirilmiştir. Ardından bu senaryolar, örnek bir bina tasarımı üstünde uygulanarak genetik optimizasyon algoritması uygulanmıştır. Algoritma, pencere büyüklüklerini ve gölgelik boyut paramet...
A new algorithm for automatic road network extraction in multispectral satellite images Karaman, Ersin; Çınar, Umut; Gedik, Ekin; Çetin, Yasemin; Halıcı, Uğur (2012-05-09) The aim of this study is to develop automatic road extraction algorithm in satellite images. As roads have different width and surface material characteristics in urban and rural areas, a modular approach for road extraction algorithm is desired. In this study, edge detection, segmentation, clustering and vegetation and land cover analyses are used. In order to combine the results of different methods, a score map based on segmentation analysis is constructed. Quantitative and visual results show that this ...
