Information retrieval from high resolution remotely sensed images is a challenging issue due to the inherent complexity and the curse of dimensionality of data under study. This paper presents an approach for building detection in high resolution remotely sensed images incorporating structural information of spatial data into spectral information. The proposed approach moves along eliminating irrelevant areas in a hierarchical manner. As a first step, pan-sharpened image is obtained from multi-spectral and panchromatic bands of Quickbird image. Vegetation and shadow regions are masked out by using Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and ratio of hue to intensity in YIQ model, respectively. Then, panchromatic band is filtered by mean shift filtering for smoothing structures while preserving the discontinuities near boundaries. Next, differential morphological profile (DMP) is calculated for each pixel and a relative measure of structure size is recorded as the first maximum value of DMP which generates a labeled image representing connected components according to sizes of structures. However, there appear some connected components which are irrelevant to buildings in shape. To eliminate those connected components, their skeletons are obtained via thinning to get a relative length measure along with measuring areas of connected components. These measures arc compared to a threshold individually, which provides a cue for a candidate building structure.

Efficient Bayesian track-before-detect Tekinalp, Serhat; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (2006-10-11) This paper presents a novel Bayesian recursive track-before-detect (TBD) algorithm for detection and tracking of dim targets in optical image sequences. The algorithm eliminates the need for storing past observations by recursively incorporating new data acquired through sensor to the existing information. It calculates the likelihood ratio for optimal detection and estimates target state simultaneously. The technique does not require velocity-matched filtering and hence, it is capable of detecting any targ...
Vehicle detection on small scale data by generative data augmentation Kumdakcı, Hilmi; Temizel, Alptekin; Department of Modeling and Simulation (2021-2-03) Scarcity of training data is one of the prominent problems for deep neural networks,which commonly require high amounts of data to display their potential. Data aug-mentation techniques are frequently applied during the pre-training and training phasesof deep neural networks to overcome the problem of having insufficient data for train-ing. These techniques aim to increase a neural network’s generalization performanceon unseen data by increasing the number of training samples and provide a more rep-resenta...
Identifying textual personal information using bidirectional LSTM networks Ertekin Bolelli, Şeyda (2018-07-09) Data-driven approaches based on the data collected from individuals are improving everyday life as a result of the developments in big data studies. Prior to developing such an approach, removal of personal information from the data is important since personal information contained in data would jeopardize people's privacy and may harm related individuals. Especially in the field of health sciences, identifying personal information in the collected data is a difficult task as most of the data collected in h...
A singular value decomposition approach for recommendation systems Osmanlı, Osman Nuri; Toroslu, İsmail Hakkı; Department of Computer Engineering (2010) Data analysis has become a very important area for both companies and researchers as a consequence of the technological developments in recent years. Companies are trying to increase their profit by analyzing the existing data about their customers and making decisions for the future according to the results of these analyses. Parallel to the need of companies, researchers are investigating different methodologies to analyze data more accurately with high performance. Recommender systems are one of the most...
CEREBRA: A 3-D Visualization Tool for Brain Network Extracted from fMRI Data Nasır, Barış; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay (2016-08-20) In this paper, we introduce a new tool, CEREBRA, to visualize the 3D network of human brain, extracted from the fMRI data. The tool aims to analyze the brain connectivity by representing the selected voxels as the nodes of the network. The edge weights among the voxels are estimated by considering the relationships among the voxel time series. The tool enables the researchers to observe the active brain regions and the interactions among them by using graph theoretic measures, such as, the edge weight and n...
