Swath profiling is a method of representing three-dimensional datasets on two-dimensional diagrams. However, there are common restrictions in the handling of datasets: the calculation of only statistical parameters such as maximum or mean that display variations parallel to the scan line in swath profiles (hereafter, non-positional parameters), difficulty in analysing a given parameter over a specific range of a swath profile, and exporting the results. The restrictions are mainly because tools developed for swath profile data usually depend on the scope of the given software, which usually has limited parameters of interest. This paper introduces a MATLAB-based toolbox developed for handling swath profile datasets referred to as SCPAT. The toolbox allows modification and customisation of a database, such as extracting data for an individual feature or a sub-dataset of features before starting analysis. This toolbox allows studying a dataset in various configurations of a swath profile, in both parallel and perpendicular directions to the profile's extension. In addition to the standard non-positional parameters, we introduce two statistical-spatial measures (hereafter, positional parameters) that are sensitive to variations parallel to cross-profiles. Determining and measuring the positional parameters, derivation of various new non-positional parameters from default and pre-calculated ones, including the azimuthal property of pre-calculated parameters, visualisation of defined parameters and the ability to export them as (geo)statistical data are advantages offered by SCPAT. Some applications of SCPAT are displayed using topographic data that are commonly used in tectonic geomorphology, although the toolbox can also be used to study other three-dimensional geologic data.

Evaluation of the NDVI in plant community composition mapping: a case study of Tersakan Valley, Amasya County, Turkey DOĞAN, Hakan Mete; Celep, Ferhat; Karaer, Fergan (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01) Mapping the composition of plant community types requires reliable spatial data obtained from field surveys and satellite-derived indices. The normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) is the simplest and most frequently used index in plant applications. If relationships between the NDVI and plant cover abundance are determined, this information can be used in the mapping process. In this study, we investigated these possible connections for mapping the plant community composition of Tersakan Valley in ...
girdap: Open source object-oriented autonomous grid management library for solving equations of conservation laws Uzgoren, Eray (Elsevier BV, 2017-10-12) girdap is an object-oriented grid generation and management library that uses finite volume operator objects to provide researchers and educators a framework to solve different sets of algebraic and differential equations on multiple grid objects, which are allowed to interact with each other. Grid objects have the capability of performing local anisotropic grid refinement (h-adaptation) as well as relocating their vertices (r-adaptation) to resolve length scales based on solution field obtained using algeb...
Local Primitive Pattern for the Classification of SAR Images AYTEKİN, orsan; KOÇ, mehmet; Ulusoy, İlkay (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2013-04-01) This paper proposes a new method for the classification of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images based on a novel feature vector. The method aims at combining the intensity information of pixels with spatial information and structural relationships. Unlike classical approaches which define a static neighborhood via a rectangular moving window of predefined size and relate spatial information for each center pixel to all the pixels within that window, the local primitives (LPs) proposed in this study provide...
GMDH2: Binary Classification via GMDH-Type Neural Network Algorithms-R Package and Web-Based Tool DAĞ, OSMAN; KARABULUT, ERDEM; Alpar, Reha (Atlantis Press, 2019-01-01) Group method of data handling (GMDH)-type neural network algorithms are the self-organizing algorithms for modeling complex systems. GMDH algorithms are used for different objectives; examples include regression, classification, clustering, forecasting, and so on. In this paper, we present GMDH2 package to perform binary classification via GMDH-type neural network algorithms. The package offers two main algorithms: GMDH algorithm and diverse classifiers ensemble based on GMDH (dce-GMDH) algorithm. GMDH algo...
Nonplanar trapezoidal tooth log-periodic antennas: Design and electromagnetic modeling Ergül, Özgür Salih (American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2005-10-18) Nonplanar trapezoidal tooth log-periodic (LP) antennas are investigated by combining the wisdom of theoretical design procedures with the power of accurate numerical simulation environments. Once the theoretical design is completed, electromagnetic simulations employing accurate integral equation solvers are utilized to test and correct the original design. A two-element array of trapezoidal tooth LP antennas is designed. The array features beam-steering ability as a novelty, in addition to frequency indepe...
