SEERS proposes a breakthrough approach to multispectral imaging in a broad band of the infrared domain (0.7-14 µm wavelength). Video surveillance for safety and security is targeted for demonstration. Firstly, a snapshot multispectral imager in the IR domain will be developed. Secondly, an embedded approach will be adopted for image reconstruction, cognitive image fusion, video pre-processing and event-driven operation. Thirdly, the benefits of a novel video analytics solution (VAS) for smart networked operation will be demonstrated in terms of performance and persistence, thanks to multispectral imaging. As a result of SEERS, a compact and cost-effective IR imager will be delivered. With this aim, research and development at different levels will be addressed: • Microbolometer (FPA) re-design adapted to multi-aperture imaging requirements • Spectral optical design putting together beam splitting and multi-aperture imaging • Development of multi-aperture sensor arrays for multispectral and super-resolution imaging • Embedded processing for: image reconstruction based on computational imaging, cognitive image fusion, spectral measurements, and video pre-processing • Persistent video analytics based on pre-processed multispectral video Overall, SEERS approach will enable robust intelligent surveillance with event-driven and smart performance. Remarkable capabilities will be robustness to variable visibility conditions (e.g. fog, rain, fumes), gas discrimination and level determination, spill detection, fire and burst imaging with accurate temperature measurement. Demonstration will be addressed in real operational conditions for two different scenarios: coastal and tunnel surveillance.

MoOx/Ag/MoOx multilayers as hole transport transparent conductive electrodes for n-type crystalline silicon solar cells Akdemir, Ozan; Borra, Mona Zolfaghari; Nasser, Hisham; Turan, Raşit; Bek, Alpan (Wiley, 2020-03-25) Substitution of highly doped layers with conventional transparent conductive electrodes as carrier collecting and selective contacts in conventional crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar cell configurations is crucial in increasing affordability of solar cells by lowering material costs. In this study, oxide/metal/oxide (OMO) multilayers featuring molybdenum oxide (MoOx) and silver (Ag) thin films are developed by thermal evaporation technique, as dopant-free hole transport transparent conductive electrodes (HTT...
Spectral correction-based method for interharmonics analysis of power signals with fundamental frequency deviation Salor, Oezguel (Elsevier BV, 2009-07-01) In this paper, a spectral correction-based algorithm for interharmonic computation is proposed for especially highly fluctuating fundamental frequency cases in the power system. It has been observed and reported that fluctuating demands of some loads such as arc furnaces, or disturbances and subsequent system transients make the fundamental frequency of the power system deviate and this causes non-existing interharmonics to appear in the spectrum due to grid-effect when a standard window length is used for ...
Aerothermodynamic Shape Optimization of Reentry Capsule Kutkan, Halit; Eyi, Sinan (2018-06-25) This paper presents a hybrid method based on proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) with a trained radial basis function (RBF) network, on direct simulation monte carlo (DSMC) solutions for aerothermodynamic front surface optimization of Stardust reentry. Gaussian and multiquadric RBFs are implemented for comparison, and multiquadric functions are chosen due to their insensitivity to diverse shape parameters. Cubic uniform B-spline curves are used innovatively for parameterization of t...
Multiscale pore structure characterization of middle east carbonates Gundogar, A. S.; Ross, C. M.; Akın, Serhat; Kovscek, A. R. (Elsevier BV, 2016-10-01) This paper focuses on the measurement of pore-scale geometrical and topological properties of heterogeneous Middle East carbonates using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), image analysis, and mercury porosimetry. Quantitative pore network descriptors including porosity, pore body and throat sizes, coordination number (number of throats per pore), shape factor (pore area to perimeter ratio), aspect ratio (pore body to throat size ratio), and their distributions are determined from SEM-based images of thin s...
Forced Response Prediction of Constrained and Unconstrained Structures Coupled Through Frictional Contacts Ciğeroğlu, Ender; Menq, Chia-Hsiang (ASME International, 2009-03-01) In this paper, a forced response prediction method for the analysis of constrained and unconstrained structures coupled through frictional contacts is presented. This type of frictional contact problem arises in vibration damping of turbine blades, in which dampers and blades constitute the unconstrained and constrained structures, respectively. The model of the unconstrained/free structure includes six rigid body modes and several elastic modes, the number of which depends on the excitation frequency. In o...
