A novel method to detect human falls in depth videos is presented in this paper. A fast and robust shape sequence descriptor, namely the Silhouette Orientation Volume (SOV), is used to represent actions and classify falls. The SOV descriptor provides high classification accuracy even with a combination of simple associated models, such as Bag-of-Words and the Naive Bayes classifier. Experiments on the public SDU-Fall dataset show that this new approach achieves up to 91.89% fall detection accuracy with a single- view depth camera. The classification rate is about 5% higher than the results reported in the literature. An overall accuracy of 89.63% was obtained for the six-class action recognition, which is about 25% higher than the state of the art. Moreover, a perfect silhouette-based action recognition rate of 100% is achieved on the Weizmann action dataset.

Video Content Analysis Method for Audiovisual Quality Assessment Konuk, Baris; Zerman, Emin; NUR YILMAZ, GÖKÇE; Akar, Gözde (2016-06-08) In this study a novel, spatio-temporal characteristics based video content analysis method is presented. The proposed method has been evaluated on different video quality assessment databases, which include videos with different characteristics and distortion types. Test results obtained on different databases demonstrate the robustness and accuracy of the proposed content analysis method. Moreover, this analysis method is employed in order to examine the performance improvement in audiovisual quality asses...
An innovative way of understanding learning processes: Eye tracking Dogusoy, Berrin; Çağıltay, Kürşat (2009-07-24) This paper aims to present findings on the use of eye-tracking technology as a new approach from an educational perspective. The studies in this paper on relationship between learning and eye-movements have focused on concept-map formation, learning from multimedia materials, designing materials with different cognitive strategies, multimodal comprehension of language and graphics with and without annotation, computer games and cognitive style effects of computer based interfaces and hypertext environment. ...
Active flutter suppression of a smart fin Karadal, Fatih Mutlu; Yaman, Yavuz; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2008) This study presents the theoretical analysis of an active flutter suppression methodology applied to a smart fin. The smart fin consists of a cantilever aluminum plate-like structure with surface bonded piezoelectric (PZT, Lead- Zirconate-Titanate) patches. A thermal analogy method for the purpose of modeling of piezoelectric actuators in MSC®/NASTRAN based on the analogy between thermal strains and piezoelectric strains was presented. The results obtained by the thermal analogy were compared with the refer...
Rapid training data generation from image sequences for pattern recognition DİLAN, Rasim Askin; Koku, Ahmet Buğra; Konukseven, Erhan İlhan (2011-04-15) This study focuses on the development of a novel technique for the rapid generation of artificial neural network training data from video streams. Videos captured on an off-road terrain are used to train artificial neural networks that learn to differentiate road and non-road sections in the captured videos. Contrary to the times-taking frame-by-frame processing, in the proposed method, classification data of road pixels is created concurrently as the video plays. The proposed method is explained in detail ...
Active Flutter Control of a Smart Fin Fatih Mutlu, Karadal; Volkan, Nalbantoğlu; Şahin, Melin; Güçlü, Seber; Ömer Faruk, Kırcalı; Yaman, Yavuz (null; 2008-10-06) This study presents the theoretical analysis of an active flutter suppression methodology applied on a smart fin. The smart fin consisted of a cantilever aluminum plate-like structure with surface bonded piezoelectric (PZT, Lead- Zirconate-Titanate) patches. The robust controllers were designed via H∞ synthesis by considering both SISO (Single-Input, Single-Output) and MIMO Multi-Input, Multi-Output) aeroelastic system models. The developed controllers performed well around the flutter point and also stabil...
