Accurate modeling of the data formation and detection process in PET is essential for optimizing resolution. Here, the authors develop a model in which the following factors are explicitly included: depth dependent geometric sensitivity, photon pair non-colinearity, attenuation, intrinsic detector sensitivity, non-uniform sinogram sampling, crystal penetration and inter-crystal scatter. Statistical reconstruction methods can include these modeling factors in the system matrix that represents the probability of detecting an emission from each image pixel at each detector-pair. The authors describe a method for computing these factors using a combination of calibration measurements, geometric modeling and Monte Carlo computation. By assuming that blurring effects and depth dependent sensitivities are separable, the authors are able to exploit rotational symmetries with respect to the sinogram. This results in substantial savings in both storage requirements and computational costs. Using phantom data the authors show that this system model can produce higher resolution near the center of the field of view, at a given SNR, than both simpler geometric models and reconstructions using filtered backprojection. The authors also show, using an off-centered phantom, that larger improvements in resolution occur towards the edge of the field of view due to the explicit modeling of crystal penetration effects.

Extending Correlation Filter-Based Visual Tracking by Tree-Structured Ensemble and Spatial Windowing Gundogdu, Erhan; Özkan, Huseyin; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2017-11-01) Correlation filters have been successfully used in visual tracking due to their modeling power and computational efficiency. However, the state-of-the-art correlation filter-based (CFB) tracking algorithms tend to quickly discard the previous poses of the target, since they consider only a single filter in their models. On the contrary, our approach is to register multiple CFB trackers for previous poses and exploit the registered knowledge when an appearance change occurs. To this end, we propose a novel t...
Improved SIFT matching for image pairs with scale difference BAŞTANLAR, YALIN; Temizel, Alptekin; Yardimci, Y. (2010-03-04) When directly applied to images with different scales, scale invariant feature transform (SIFT) matching performance decreases significantly. In this reported work, this phenomenon is demonstrated and a simple method to increase the performance of SIFT matching is proposed. The proposed method includes preprocessing the images before matching and is compared to previously proposed solutions which only eliminate false matches.
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, ...
Improving classification performance of endoscopic images with generative data augmentation Çağlar, Ümit Mert; Temizel, Alptekin; Department of Modeling and Simulation (2022-2-8) The performance of a supervised deep learning model is highly dependent on the quality and variety of the images in the training dataset. In some applications, it may be impossible to obtain more images. Data augmentation methods have been proven to be successful in increasing the performance of deep learning models with limited data. Recent improvements on Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) algorithms and structures resulted in improved image quality and diversity and made GAN training possible with lim...
Analysis Window Length Selection For Linear Signal Models Yazar, Alper; Candan, Çağatay (2015-05-19) A method is presented for the selection of analysis window length, or the number of input samples, for linear signal modeling without compromising the model assumptions. It is assumed that the signal of interest lies in a known linear space and noisy samples of the signal is provided. The goal is to use as many signal samples as possible to mitigate the effect of noise without violating the assumptions on the model. An application example is provided to illustrate the suggested method.
