Gait analysis is a highly active research area with a wide range of applications in clinical settings, surveillance and human-computer interaction. The focus of this chapter is the clinical aspect of gait analysis, in which accuracy and precision are essential. Subsequently, the chapter focuses on various techniques of measuring gait and introduces taxonomy for their analysis. From this perspective, motion measurements using motion capture and inertial sensors are presented. Motion capture techniques are analyzed under sections of marker-based and markerless techniques and their common applications are exemplified. Additionally, accelerometers, gyroscopes, magnetometers and their applications are presented in the inertial measurements section. Finally, force measurements and measurement of electrical activity of muscles are explained briefly.

Optimal design of sparse mimo arrays for wideband near-field imaging based on a statistical framework Kocamış, Mehmet Burak; Öktem, Sevinç Figen; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2018) Wideband near-field imaging is an emerging 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 achieve high resolution with reduced hardware complexity and cost. In this thesis, based on a statistical framework, an optimal design method is presented for two-dimensional MIMO arrays in wideband near-field imaging. Differe...
Estimation of Ground Reaction Forces Using Low-Cost Instrumented Forearm Crutches Seylan, Çağlar; Saranlı, Uluç (2018-06-01) Instrumented crutches are useful for many rehabilitation tasks, including monitoring the correctness of crutch use, analyzing gait properties for patients with lower-limb impairments, as well as providing sensory data for controlling lower-body robotic orthoses. In this paper, we describe the design and analysis of an instrumented crutch system equipped with low-cost accelerometer and pressure sensors to estimate all components of the ground reaction force (GRF), providing a well-defined and physically mean...
Absorbance Estimation and Gas Emissions Detection in Hyperspectral Imagery Başkurt, Nur Didem; Gur, Yusuf; Omruuzun, Fatih; Çetin, Yasemin (2016-05-19) Hyperspectral imaging in gas detection applications is a leading and widely studied research topic thanks to its high spectral resolution and remote detection ability. The main problems in these applications covers the leakage detection, gas identification, and quantification. The proposed algorithm aims to reach the transmittance and absorbance features of the gas and to detect the gaseous region by using the measured radiance data from the hyperspectral infrared sensors.
STATISTICAL MODELING OF THE GEOMETRIC ERROR IN CARDIAC ELECTRICAL IMAGING Aydin, Umit; Serinağaoğlu Doğrusöz, Yeşim (2009-07-01) Kalman filter approach provides a natural way to include the spatio-temporal prior information in cardiac electrical imaging. This study focuses on the performance of Kalman filter approach with geometric errors present in inverse Electrocardiography (ECG) problem. The geometric errors considered here are the wrong determination of the heart's size and location. In addition to Kalman filtering, we also compare the performances of Tikhonov regularization and Bayesian MAP estimation when geometric errors are ...
Quality Enhancement of Computed Tomography Images of Porous Media Using Convolutional Neural Networks Yıldırım, Ertuğrul Umut; Uğur, Ömür; Glatz, Guenther; Department of Scientific Computing (2022-2-11) Computed tomography has been widely used in clinical and industrial applications as a non-destructive visualization technology. The quality of computed tomography scans has a strong effect on the accuracy of the estimated physical properties of the investigated sample. X-ray exposure time is a crucial factor for scan quality. Ideally, long exposure time scans, yielding large signal-to-noise ratios, are available if physical properties are to be delineated. However, especially in micro-computed tomography ap...
