    Baser, Oguzhan; Küçük, Mehmet Ali; Albayrak, Cenk; Türk, Kadir

    In this paper, an optical-DAC (ODAC) based transmitter design is proposed for indoor visible light communication (VLC) applications. The proposed design is practically realized and the communication performance of the experimental VLC system is investigated. In the ODAC transmitter, multilevel communication signal can be generated optically by independently switching light emitting diode (LED) groups with different powers. In this way, multilevel modulation techniques in VLC systems can be realized through a simple transmitter structure that can be digitally driven. In the proposed transmitter design, unlike the existing ODAC-based VLC transmitters in the literature, metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFET) are used as switching elements in order to drive high-power LED for ambient illumination and communication. In the experimental studies, an offline VLC system using the designed ODAC-based transmitter with a power of approximately 10 W is tested at different switching speeds and distances. The results show that by implementing 8 PAM modulation in the proposed transmitter design, a data transmission rate of 6.264 Mbps is successfully achieved.

    Reconfigurable Optical Filter Based Receiver Structure For Visible Light Communication

    Küçük, Mehmet Ali; Albayrak, Cenk; Türk, Kadir

    In this paper, a novel receiver structure is proposed to mitigate the inter-channel interference (ICI) effects that limit the data rate in multi-color visible light communication (MC-VLC) systems. Reconfigurable optical filters (ROFs) are used at the receiver side of MC-VLC systems to enable the separation of color channels. ROFs are optical elements that have the ability to electrically change their transmission spectrum. Utilizing this feature of ROFs, a receiver structure is developed that, unlike traditional receiver structures, can adaptively adjust the transmit spectrum based on channel state information. This adaptive adjustment is aimed at maximizing communication performance by effectively separating color channels in MC-VLC systems. The obtained results demonstrate that the proposed receiver structure achieves higher communication performance compared to traditional receivers.

    Yaprak, Busranur; Gedikli, Eyup; Bingöl, Ozkan; Dogan, Ramazan Ozgur

    Gait recognition is a biometrics-based computer vision process used to identify people based on their walking styles. Compared to other types of biometrics, gait offers a more advantageous recognition process as it does not require high-resolution and close-range images and obtains without contact. But besides this, gait biometrics is highly affected by cross-view variation, and under this variation recognition performance decreases significantly. In this study, performance evaluations of fine-tuned VGG-16 and ResNet-50 deep CNN networks on the cross-view gait recognition problem are performed. For this purpose, Gait energy images (GEI) and Silhouettes obtained from CASIA-B, the most comprehensive data set in gait recognition, are given as input to the networks. The experimental results showed that the VGG-16 network achieved higher recognition rates in cross-view gait recognition.

    Kobya, Mehmet Emin; Ture, Hayati; Dogan, Ramazan Ozgur; Kayikcioglu, Temel; Teymur, Aykut; Kul, Sibel

    Mammography is a valuable tool in the diagnosis and staging of primary breast cancer. Contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) combines an iodinated contrast agent with traditional mammography to increase diagnostic accuracy, especially in women with more dense parenchymal background patterns. In this study, a Decision Support System (DSS) is proposed that classifies masses using radiomic features obtained from masks of benign and malignant masses in images obtained with the CEM technique. An open-access database containing 2006 CEM images was used in this study. Radiomic features obtained from these images were used to identify differences between benign and malignant masses. The DSS uses these features to classify masses using a decision tree algorithm. This study highlights the importance of the use of iodinated contrast agents to improve diagnostic accuracy in women with more dense parenchymal background patterns. Additionally, it emphasizes the potential benefits of a DSS, in combination with radiomic features, in the diagnosis and staging of breast cancer. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that the use of radiomic features in mammography images obtained with the CEM technique is an effective way to classify benign and malignant masses.The use of this technology could be an important tool in the early diagnosis and accurate classification of breast cancer.

    Deep Learning Based Focus Measurement Operator for 3D Imaging in Microscopic Systems

    Dogan, Hulya; Dogan, Ramazan Ozgur

    Since 3D imaging in microscopic systems makes cell and tissue structures more prominent and visible, it provides higher performance in image processing applications such as automatic segmentation, recognition, classification, alignment and stitching. For this reason, 3D imaging in microscopic systems has been one of the most comprehensive and long-studied research areas in the literature. It seems that the most frequently preferred strategy for 3D imaging is shape from focus. Shape from focus is a strategy that uses a sequence of 2D images with the same perspective and different focused regions to create the 3D shape of the sample. Focus measurement operators are applied to extract the focus properties of the input images in shape from focus strategies. These operators have several limitations, such as more precise characterization of curves and edges in images. Researchers often use a pre- or post-processing technique to minimize these limitations, rather than proposing a new focus measurement operator. In this study, a deep learning based focus measurement operator, which does not require a pre- or post-processing technique, is developed to eliminate these limitations. The qualitative and quantitative results obtained in the study show that the proposed focus measurement operator is more effective in 3D imaging than other operators in the literature.

    Segmentation of Pectoral Muscle Region in MLO Mammography Images by Backboned U-Net

    Dogan, Ramazan Ozgur; Türe, Hayati; Kayikçioglu, Temel

    The pectoral muscle region on MLO mammography images appears prominently similar to suspicious areas. For this reason, Computer-Aided Detection (CAD) systems remove this region to reduce false-positive rates in the mass detection process. In some cases, the pectoral muscle region is exposed to distortions due to the superposition effects caused by the mammography technique. As a result, segmentation error rates of the pectoral muscle region, whose characteristic features are deteriorated, appear. In this study, a method to identify impaired pectoral muscle regions with MobileNetV2 backboned U-Net Deep Learning method is proposed. The proposed method was tested on 84 and 201 mammography images taken from both MIAS and InBreast databases and segmented with 1.81% and 1.92% false-negative (FN) and 0.25% and 0.37% false positive (FP) rates, respectively. Particularly for distorted pectoral muscle regions, the proposed method has been shown to outperform some pioneering studies in this area.

    Ozcan, Zubeyir; Yildirim, Omer; Kayikcioglu, Temel

    Nerve cells are the basic building blocks of the nervous system. Therefore, the first step in neuroscience education is the introduction of nerve cells. However, both the complexity of nerve cells and the difficulty of their experimental examination make it difficult to test nerve cells practically. Therefore, simulation of nerve cells is found to be significantly effective. The difficulty of examining this type of cells experimentally shows its effect on neuroscience education. This brings to the fore the necessity of virtual laboratory environments designed for use in education. In this study, BroomyCell, which is designed by us as an introductory educational software in neuroscience education, was introduced. With this desktop application, it is aimed that potential neuroscientists learn their fields experimentally and without the need for a physical laboratory.

    Melek, Mesut

    Electroencephalography (EEG) signals recorded during sleep are divided into 30-second segments and analyzed by experts and classified into sleep stages, and in this way, diagnosis and treatment of diseases are made. Computer-assisted sleep scoring systems can effectively reduce the burden of experts by classifying sleep stages. In this study, after preprocessing of the EEG signals, four features were obtained for each EEG band (20 features in total) with the autoregressive model and then classified with three different classifiers common in machine learning. The proposed method was tested on the data set called ISRUC sleep (Subgroup 3, ISRUC3) and the results were compared with the results of other studies. The results show that the proposed method is more successful than other existing methods, despite the use of fewer features.

    Determining Complexity within the Crowd Movements

    Akpulat, Murat; Ekinci, Murat

    The segmentation of the moving and non-moving parts in an image within the crowd analysis studies is a crucial result in terms of understanding the behaviour. However, in many studies carried out, moving areas are assessed as making a set of movement that are similar in terms of location and of acceleration. In this study, what kind of interaction there exists among the people in a high-density crowd movement was studied. Initially, the motion data is represented as trajectories by using the optical flow and particle advection methods. The image is divided into equal hexagons and each area's topological entropy value is determined through Finite Time Braid Entropy (FTBE). This value depends on the complexity of the spiral structure that the trajectories generate throughout the movement and this value shows how much effective it is in the area. Eventually, through the complexity map that was generated, the behaviour of the crowd could be better understood and assessed. Also, in this way, possible abnormal conditions in the area can be predicted by monitoring each region and by setting off from the changes in the values of Braid entropy in time. The method was tested using the high-density crowd movements in the UCF database and results were presented.

    Observing the Entropy of Crowd Movements

    Akpulat, Murat; Ekinci, Murat

    Providing security and managing it as well as trying to understand how it behaves have become an important research topic in our day. The aim of this study is to calculate the entropy value of the crowd movement regionally and to track how it. changes in time. Because, excessive changes in the entropy value in time might point to abnormal behaviour in the region. The motion information obtained from the optical flow method from the image in parallel to the target was converted to motion orbits by particle advection. Motion orbits are mapped into by the Braid Theory and entropy value is calculated. Braid Theory is a mathematical method that is used to express entropy as a qualitative value by determining the interaction among the movement orbits. The results are tested according to the video sequence in the PETS2009 and UCF database and they show that this method is functional for observing how the entropy changes in time within the crowd movement.
