Image matching, which aims to find the corresponding points in different images, is an important process which is used in various vision-based applications in military, industrial, remote sensing and security systems. Some applications require accurate matching across images taken at different times of the year to be reliable and reusable. Although many detection and description methods are used for image matching, it is important to correctly determine the most robust method for such changes. In this paper we investigate combination of SIFT (Scale Invariant Feature Transform), SURF (Speed Up Robust Features), KAZE, BRISK (Binary Robust Invariant Scalable), FAST (Features from Accelerated Segment Test) algorithms using satellite images that are taken at different times of the year in various seasons and weather conditions. Incorrect matches in the test results are eliminated by MLESAC (Maximum Likelihood Estimation SAmple and Consensus) method. As a result of these eliminations, the accuracy, propagation, changes in the number of the keypoints and the speed of detection of the keypoints are observed. At the end of these analyses, it is concluded that most reliable method in keypoint matching is FAST-SIFT despite the high cost of its computation time.

This thesis presents applications and an analysis of various adaptive control augmentation schemes to various baseline flight control systems of an air to ground guided missile. The missile model used in this research has aerodynamic control surfaces on its tail section. The missile is desired to make skid to turn maneuvers by following acceleration commands in the pitch and yaw axis, and by keeping zero roll attitude. First, a linear quadratic regulator baseline autopilot is designed for the control of the...
Improving operational performance of antennas on complex platforms by arranging their placements
Bayseferoğulları, Can; Dural Ünver, Mevlüde Gülbin; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010)
The aim of this thesis is to improve the operational performance of the communication antennas mounted on complex platforms such as aircrafts and warships by arranging placements of these antennas. Towards this aim, primarily, in order to gain insight on the influence of geometrically simple structures composing the platform on antenna performance, a quarter wavelength monopole antenna placed at the center of a finite square ground plane is studied by using uniform Geometrical Theory of Diffraction (GTD). B...
Investigation of Simulated Ground Penetrating Radar Data for Buried Objects Using Quadratic Time-Frequency Transformations
DOĞAN, MESUT; Sayan, Gönül (2017-07-14)
Sub-surface sensing is a challenging area of research that highly benefits from the use of ultra-wideband ground penetrating radar (GPR) technology. Detection and classification of buried objects with reduced false alarm rates is still open to improvements. Use of joint temporal and spectral target features obtained from electromagnetic GPR signals using time-frequency representation (TFR) methods is highly promising because TFRs provide detailed information about the energy distribution of GPR signals over...

İdikut, Fırat; Altan, Hakan; Department of Physics (2016)
Imaging systems based on terahertz waves are becoming an integral part of commercial and military screening applications. In this thesis, the prototype of active scan THz imaging system was constructed for detection of concealed objects at standoff distance longer than 5m. The system was mounted on a platform that can adjust in height, tilt and azimuthal angle. The methods of generation and detection of THz signal are based on Schottky diode rectifiers and Schottky diode mixers. The wavelength of the contin...

In this paper, we demonstrate a 3D object modeling system utilizing a setup which consists of two CMOS cameras and a DLP projector by making use of structured light and stereo vision. The calibration of the system is carried out using calibration pattern. The images are taken with stereo camera pair by projecting structured light onto the object and the correspondence problem is solved by both epipolar constraint of stereo vision and gray code constraint of structured light. The first experimental results s...
