This thesis focuses on 3D marker tracking for human gait analysis. In KISS Gait Analysis System at METU, a subject's gait is recorded with 6 cameras while 13 reflective markers are attached at appropriate locations on his/her legs and feet. These images are processed to extract 2 dimensional (2D) coordinates of the markers in each camera. The 3 dimensional (3D) coordinates of the markers are obtained by processing the 2D coordinates of the markers with linearization and calibration algorithms. Then 3D trajectories of the markers are formed using the 3D coordinates of the markers. In this study, software which takes the 2D coordinates of markers in each camera and processes them to form the 3D trajectories of the markers is developed. Kalman Filter is used in formation of 3D trajectories. The results are found to be satisfactory.

Real time color based object tracking Özzaman, Gökhan; Erkmen, İsmet; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005) A method for real time tracking of non-rigid arbitrary objects is proposed in this study. The approach builds on and extends work on multidimensional color histogram based target representation, which is enhanced by spatial masking with a monotonically decreasing kernel profile prior to back-projection. The masking suppresses the influence of the background pixels and induces a spatially smooth target model representation suitable for gradient-based optimization. The main idea behind this approach is that a...
Development of electrochemical etch-stop techniques for integrated MEMS sensors Yaşınok, Gözde Ceren; Akın, Tayfun; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006) This thesis presents the development of electrochemical etch-stop techniques (ECES) to achieve high precision 3-dimensional integrated MEMS sensors with wet anisotropic etching by applying proper voltages to various regions in silicon. The anisotropic etchant is selected as tetra methyl ammonium hydroxide, TMAH, considering its high silicon etch rate, selectivity towards SiO2, and CMOS compatibility, especially during front-side etching of the chip/wafer. A number of parameters affecting the etching are inv...
Evaluation of multi target tracking algorithms in the presence of clutter Güner, Onur; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005) This thesis describes the theoretical bases, implementation and testing of a multi target tracking approach in radar applications. The main concern in this thesis is the evaluation of the performance of tracking algorithms in the presence of false alarms due to clutter. Multi target tracking algorithms are composed of three main parts: track initiation, data association and estimation. Two methods are proposed for track initiation in this work. First one is the track score function followed by a threshold c...
High performance readout electronics for uncooled infrared detector arrays Yıldırım, Ömer Özgür; Akın, Tayfun; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006) This thesis reports the development of high performance readout electronics for resistive microbolometer detector arrays that are used for uncooled infrared imaging. Three different readout chips are designed and fabricated by using a standard 0.6 m CMOS process. Fabricated chips include a conventional capacitive transimpedance amplifier (CTIA) type readout circuit, a novel readout circuit with dynamic resistance nonuniformity compensation capability, and a new improved version of the CTIA circuit. The fabr...
A video tracker system for traffic monitoring and analysis Ocaklı, Mehmet; Demirekler, Mübeccel; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007) In this study, a video tracker system for traffic monitoring and analysis is developed. This system is able to detect and track vehicles as they move through the camera’s field of view. This provides to perform traffic analysis about the scene, which can be used to optimize traffic flows and identify potential accidents. The scene inspected in this study is assumed stationary to achieve high performance solution to the problem. This assumption provides to detect moving objects more accurately, as well as ab...
