Recent automated crop mapping via supervised learning-based methods have demonstrated unprecedented improvement over classical techniques. Classification accuracies of these methods degrade considerably in cross-year mapping. Cross-year crop mapping is more useful as it allows the prediction of the following years' crop maps using previously labeled data. We propose vector dynamic time warping (VDTW), an innovative multi-year classification approach based on warping of angular distances between phenological vectors. The results prove that the proposed VDTW method is robust to temporal and spectral variations compensating for different farming practices, climate and atmospheric effects, and measurement errors between years. We also describe a method for determining the most discriminative time window that allows high classification accuracies with limited data. We carried out tests with Landsat 8 time-series imagery from years 2013 to 2015 for the classification of corn and cotton in the Harran Plain of southeastern Turkey. In addition, we tested VDTW corn and soybean in Kansas, the US for 2017 and 2018 with the Harmonized Landsat Sentinel data. The VDTW method improved cross-year overall accuracies by 3% with fewer training samples compared to other state-of-the-art approaches.

Multi-year time series crop mapping
Teke, Mustaf; Yardımcı Çetin, Yasemin .; Department of Information Systems (2020)
Recent automated crop mapping via supervised learning-based methods have demonstrated unprecedented improvement over classical techniques. However, most crop mapping studies are limited to same-year crop mapping in which the present year’s labeled data is used to predict the same year’s crop map. Classification accuracies of these methods degrade considerably in cross-year mapping. Cross-year crop mapping is more useful as it allows the prediction of the following years’ crop maps using previously labeled d...
COMPARISON OF MAGNETIC RESONANCE ELECTRICAL IMPEDANCE TOMOGRAPHY (MREIT) RECONSTRUCTION ALGORITHMS
Eyüboğlu, Behçet Murat; Boyacioglu, Rasim; Degirmenci, Evren; Eker, Gokhan (2010-04-17)
Several algorithms have been proposed for image reconstruction in MREIT. These algorithms reconstruct conductivity distribution either directly from magnetic flux density measurements or from reconstructed current density distribution. In this study, performance of all major algorithms are evaluated and compared on a common platform, in terms of their reconstruction error, reconstruction time, perceptual image quality, immunity against measurement noise, required electrode size. J-Substitution (JS) and Hybr...

Aydin; Çiloğlu, Tolga (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2014-10-01)
Concept detection stands as an important problem for efficient indexing and retrieval in large video archives. In this work, the KavTan System, which performs high-level semantic classification in one of the largest TV archives of Turkey, is presented. In this system, concept detection is performed using generalized visual and audio concept detection modules that are supported by video text detection, audio keyword spotting and specialized audio-visual semantic detection components. The performance of the p...
Comparison of 2D and 3D image-based aggregate morphological indices
Kutay, M. Emin; Öztürk, Hande Işık; Abbas, Ala R.; Hu, Chichun (2011-01-01)
Significant progress has been made over the last two decades in the characterisation of aggregate shape using automated image analysis and processing methods. Aggregate shape characteristics have been quantified using three distinct shape parameters, namely the aggregate form, angularity and surface texture. Several mathematical procedures have been developed to quantify these parameters. For practical reasons, most of these procedures were limited to two-dimensional (2D) and utilised 2D aggregate images. T...
Tree-structured Data Clustering
Dinler, Derya; Tural, Mustafa Kemal; Özdemirel, Nur Evin (2018-07-08)
Traditional clustering techniques deal with point data. However, improving measurement capabilities and the need for deeper analyses result in collecting more complex datasets. In this study, we consider a clustering problem in which the data objects are rooted trees with unweighted or weighted edges. Such tree clustering problems arise inmany areas such as biology, neuroscience and computer or social networks. For the solution of the problem, we propose a k-means based algorithm which starts with initial c...
