This paper presents a novel lane detection algorithm based on fusion of camera and 2D LIDAR data. On the one hand, objects on the road are detected via 2D LIDAR. On the other hand, binary bird’s eye view (BEV) images are acquired from the camera data and the locations of objects detected by LIDAR are estimated on the BEV image. In order to remove the noise generated by objects on the BEV, a modified BEV image is obtained, where pixels occluded by the detected objects are turned into background pixels. Then, lane detection is performed on the modified BEV image. Computational and experimental evaluations show that the proposed method significantly increases the lane detection accuracy.

Sensor fusion of a camera and 2D LIDAR for lane detection and tracking Yeniaydın, Yasin; Schmidt, Klaus Verner; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019) This thesis proposes a novel lane detection and tracking algorithm based on sensor fusion of a camera and 2D LIDAR. The proposed method is based on the top down view of a grayscale image, whose lane pixels are enhanced by the convolution with a 1D top-hat kernel. The convolved image is horizontally divided into a predetermined number of regions and the histogram of each region is computed. Next, the highest valued local maxima in a predefined ratio in the histogram plots are determined as candidate lane pix...
Spatial modulation of THz beams for imaging applications Altan, Hakan (null; 2015-10-16) Techniques based on compressive sensing allow us to image fields at faster rates and at our labs in METU we have been experimenting with imaging based on spatial modulation of THz beams using single pixel detectors [1]. However these studies are based on discrete patterns using metal sheets. These techniques would benefit greatly if we could modulate the THz field. For example, optical modulators play a key role in optoelectronics and communication systems. Electro-optic, acousto-optic and thermo-optic effe...
Vector tracking loop design for GPS receivers Üzel, Deniz; Baykal, Buyurman; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2016) This study describes the design of a modern GPS receiver architecture based on vector tracking loops. Since the traditional tracking loops process the signals independently, there is no information exchange between channels. Due to that fact, aiding of weaker signals in the presence of relatively strong signals is impossible. On the other hand, vector tracking loops simultaneously process the signals from all visible channels. Therefore, they are able to perform better than the traditional tracking loops in...
Error prediction in electromagnetic simulations using machine learning KARAOSMANOGLU, BARISCAN; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2019-07-01) © 2019 IEEE.We present a novel approach of using deep convolutional neural networks (CNN) to predict electromagnetic scattering errors in iterative solutions of electrically large three-dimensional objects. Deep CNN models are constructed and trained by using surface current images to predict far-zone scattering errors. Numerical experiments demonstrate successful predictions with more than 95% accuracy. The constructed models can be useful to quickly assess the accuracy of candidate solutions of current di...
Electromagnetic Target Classification using time frequency analysis and neural networks Sayan, Gönül; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal (Wiley, 1999-04-01) This paper demonstrates the feasibility and advantages of using a self-organizing map (SOM)-type neural network classifier for electromagnetic target recognition. The classifier is supported by a novel feature extraction unit in which the Wigner distribution (WD), a time-frequency representation, is utilized for the extraction of natural-resonance-related energy feature vectors from scattered fields. The proposed target classification technique is tested for a set of canonical targets, displaying an excelle...
