Küçükdemir, Furkan Mevlüt
In this study, we propose an indoor scene segmentation method which utilizes consensus clustering. Unlike most of the recently offered methods in literature, our approach does not rely on deep learning techniques. Therefore, it does not require a large dataset for training and spending a lot of time to learn a valid model is not necessary. In the first step of our algorithm, we construct uniform and cotangent Laplace operators. Then, we compute differential coordinates using them and global point signatures using the eigenbasis of cotangent Laplace operator. In the next step, we use these coordinates and global point signatures as features and run k-medoids multiple times to create an ensemble. With the help of Partial Evidence Accumulation Clustering method, which is a consensus clustering approach, we obtain the final segmentation. Optionally, we offer an interactive segmentation mechanism to our users, in case any adjustment on the final segmentation is needed. The key idea of our approach is to use a specialized function to compute distance between feature points, which takes the scene geometry into account by using surface properties such as normals. At the end of the thesis, we also present both qualitative and quantitative evaluation of our method and show that it outperforms some of the existing techniques, quantitatively.

Robust estimation in multivariate heteroscedastic regression models with autoregressive covariance structures using EM algorithm
GÜNEY, YEŞİM; ARSLAN, OLÇAY; Gökalp Yavuz, Fulya (2022-09-01)
© 2022 Elsevier Inc.In the analysis of repeated or clustered measurements, it is crucial to determine the dynamics that affect the mean, variance, and correlations of the data, which will be possible using appropriate models. One of these models is the joint mean–covariance model, which is a multivariate heteroscedastic regression model with autoregressive covariance structures. In these models, parameter estimation is usually carried on under normality assumption, but the resulting estimators will be very ...
Direct numerical simulation of pipe flow using a solenoidal spectral method
Tugluk, Ozan; Tarman, Işık Hakan (2012-05-01)
In this study, a numerical method based on solenoidal basis functions, for the simulation of incompressible flow through a circular-cylindrical pipe, is presented. The solenoidal bases utilized in the study are formulated using the Legendre polynomials. Legendre polynomials are favorable, both for the form of the basis functions and for the inner product integrals arising from the Galerkin-type projection used. The projection is performed onto the dual solenoidal bases, eliminating the pressure variable, si...
Image segmentation with unified region and boundary characteristics within recursive shortest spanning tree
Esen, E.; Alp, Y. K. (2007-06-13)
The lack of boundary information in region based image segmentation algorithms resulted in many hybrid methods that integrate the complementary information sources of region and boundary, in order to increase the segmentation performance. In compliance with this trend, we propose a novel method to unify the region and boundary characteristics within the canonical Recursive Shortest Spanning Tree algorithm. The main idea is to incorporate the boundary information in the distance metric of RSST with minor cha...
Multi-time-scale input approaches for hourly-scale rainfall-runoff modeling based on recurrent neural networks
Ishida, Kei; Kiyama, Masato; Ercan, Ali; Amagasaki, Motoki; Tu, Tongbi (2021-11-01)
This study proposes two effective approaches to reduce the required computational time of the training process for time-series modeling through a recurrent neural network (RNN) using multi-time-scale time-series data as input. One approach provides coarse and fine temporal resolutions of the input time-series data to RNN in parallel. The other concatenates the coarse and fine temporal resolutions of the input time-series data over time before considering them as the input to RNN. In both approaches, first, ...
Multi-target tracking using passive doppler measurements
Guldogan, Mehmet B.; Orguner, Umut; Gustafsson, Fredrik (2013-04-26)
In this paper, we analyze the performance of the Gaussian mixture probability hypothesis density (GM-PHD) filter in tracking multiple non-cooperative targets using Doppler-only measurements in a passive sensor network. Clutter, missed detections and multi-static Doppler variances are incorporated into a realistic multi-target scenario. Simulation results show that the GM-PHD filter successfully tracks multiple targets using only Doppler shift measurements in a passive multi-static scenario.
