    Hardware Friendly Early Stopping Structure For Polar Code

    Simsek, Cemaleddin; Albayrak, Cenk; Türk, Kadir

    Polar code has become a major milestone in information theory field in recent times. Researchers are still observing more efficient encoding and decoding structures. In this study, a new WIB based structure is proposed which reduces the computational complexity of WIB introduced as an early termination method for BP polar decoder in literature. Both proposed and WIB methods are implemented with VHDL and hardware complexities are compared via XILINX ISE synthesis tool. Most important complexity reduction came with removing unnecessary addition operations which make early termination method possible to implement only with hit-wise logical operations. Results show that along with complexity reduction proposed approach can also acquire same performance in half time compared to previous counterpart with fewer logic gates.

    Çevik, Sibel; Çakmak, Recep; Altas, Ismail Hakk

    The integration of renewable energy sources to the electrical grid leads to some issues in the grid because of intermittent and variable characteristics of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar. It has been predicted that the solar based electricity production will has highest annual increase rate among the other renewable sources. Due to the intermittent and volatile nature of the solar energy in an electricity grid where photovoltaic systems are intensive, load planning is essential. Therefore, day ahead solar radiation forecasting will contribute to the load planning studies. Artificial neural networks are one of the methods that are applied frequently and successfully in forecasting studies. In this study, a cause effect based artificial neural network (ANN) has been designed and performed for day ahead hourly solar radiation forecasting in Trabzon province. A similar day selection algorithm has been utilized to get more accurate forecasting by the ANN. The designed ANN has been trained and tested in MATLAB simulation environment without using ready codes of MATLAB ANN toolbox. The obtained results reveal that the designed ANN forecasts the solar radiation with acceptable error for a place such as Trabzon which has rainy and cloudy weather conditions.

    Sign Alterations of LLR Values Based Early Termination Method for LT BP Decoder

    Albayrak, Cenk; Simsek, Cemaleddin; Türk, Kadir

    In this letter, a new early termination method is proposed for Luby transform (LT) belief propagation (BP) decoder. The proposed method is decided whether BP decoder output converges to original data bits by observing only sign alterations of log-likelihood ratio (LLR) messages in BP decoder structure. Simulation results and complexity analyzes show that proposed method has low computational complexity and small average iteration amounts compared to conventional early termination methods in literature. In addition to this, the proposed method doesn't cause any performance degradation in BP decoder. The method can be easily applied to code families which can be decoded by BP algorithm such as low density parity check (LDPC) codes, polar codes and Raptor codes.

    An Effective Database Watermarking Method Based On Histogram of Pairs

    Sahin, Yasin; Ulutas, Guzin; Imamoglu, Mustafa Bilgehan

    Protecting database integrity has become a matter of increasing importance nowadays as accessing information is getting easier. Therefore, database watermarking approach to protect the integrity become an active research area. Most of the existing relational database watermarking techniques embed a generated watermark in the database. Zero watermarking is employed in the proposed technique by storing the watermark generated from the database in another medium independent from the database. In order to make the method robust to column replacement attacks, cell values are split into overlapping pairs and column number is added to pairs. The histogram of pairs is used as the watermark because any change in either a cell value or column replacement would affect the histogram. Experimental results indicate robustness to column replacement attack as well as improved processing time compared to other works reported in the literature.

    Bingöl, Ozkan; Ekinci, Murat

    In recent years, biometric palmprint recognition system is one of the preferred research areas due to reach high accuracy even with the low resolution cameras. In recent studies conducted in this area, especially due to hygiene problems, images are taken in contactless and unrestricted environment. Despite a very successful improving methods have been developed for the images obtained in the restricted environment, shifts or projective distortions that occur in the palm pattern obtained from images taken in unconstrained environments negatively affect the success of this method. In this study, coding techniques that are commonly used palmprint recognition systems (Competitive Code, Ordinal Code, Derivative of Gaussian Filters Code) are strengthened with feature determinants (SIFT, SURF) and a new approach has been proposed. Scope of the study, a new data set consists of low-resolution images taken in unconstrained environments created and palmprint patterns obtained with the help of Active Appearance Model. First, performance rate of these coding techniques on the patterns were analyzed. Then, the advantages of 6 different approaches obtained by combining each feature determinant with each coding technique, is disclosed to the system.

    Detection of Copy-Move Forgery Using DoGCode

    Türk, Salih; Bingöl, Ozkan; Ulutas, Guzin

    Copy-move forgery is performed as a part of an image is copied and moved to another region within the same image. For the detection of this type of forgery, usually, feature vectors of the image are created by dividing the image into sub-blocks. Then the feature vector of the region is compared with other regions in the image to reach a conclusion if they are matched. In this study, to determine the copy-move forgery, DoG Coding technique which is more resistant to changes in image brightness is used. Coded new image is formed with the help of this technique often preferred in the palmprint recognition systems and features are determined by dividing the image into sub-blocks. Block based region growing segmentation method have been developed to determine the size of the copied region. Proposed this new approach has been successfully applied on images in the CoMoFod dataset prepared by different scenarios.

    Oguz, Yasin; Kaya, Haydar

    Systems that use UWB technology based on communication with baseband signals of very short duration recently attract attention in communication and radar application, and thereof have been improving rapidly. Because UWB signals occupy a spectrum that is spread about very wide frequency band, one of the principal issues that need to be considered in UWB applications is the frequency allocation. In order to minimize or prevent possible distorting interferences with existing communication systems, spectral distribution of mandatory EIRP limit values has been determined by FCC in UWB applications. In this study, a linear signal combination model has been established and on mathematical expressions have been provided for production of wave forms are suitable UWB emission mask specified by FCC.

    Soykasap, Omer; Karakaya, Sukru; Kaplan, Erdar; Ilarslan, M; Ince, F; Kaynak, O; Basturk, S

    Carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) composite shell reflectors have been developed for space borne antennas due to their light weight, high thermal stability, and high surface accuracy. In order to reduce launch cost and structural mass, compactly folding and self-deployment of the reflector is preferred. In this paper, the full-scale offset reflector with a diameter of 6 m was designed by introducing reinforcements in the central region. After modal analysis was carried out for full-scale reflector model, the suitability of design was determined and 1/4-scaled version was manufactured. The experiments of the demonstrator were conducted for modal analysis, folding, dynamic deployment behavior and surface accuracy. As a result of study, new reflector model was successfully designed with low-mass, manufacturing ease, lower cost and has a monolithic structure, which two opposite edges of the reflector can be rolled toward the center of the reflector for packaging.
