Yayın Image recovery of inaccessible rough surfaces profiles having impedance boundary condition(IEEE, 2022) Sefer, Ahmet; Yapar, AliThis letter addresses a reconstruction algorithm of locally rough inaccessible surface profiles via the knowledge of the scattered field data under the consideration of the impedance boundary condition (IBC). To this aim, first, the synthetic scattered field data are obtained through the solution of the conventional surface integral equation (SIE) written on the rough surface. Then, the same SIE together with the data equation is solved iteratively via Newton's method to obtain the image of the rough surface profile. In the numerical implementation, the nonlinear ill-posed inverse problem is linearized in an iterative fashion via the Newton method and regularized by Tikhonov in the least-squares sense. The feasibility of the algorithm is provided via numerical examples, which shows that the method is effective and promising.Yayın Disaster damage assessment of buildings using adaptive self-similarity descriptor(2016-08) Kahraman, Fatih; İmamoğlu, Mümin; Ateş, Hasan FehmiAssessment of damage caused by a disaster is significant for coordinating emergency response teams and planning emergency aid. In this letter, a robust method for rapid building damage assessment is proposed using pre- and postevent EO images and building footprints. The method uses a local self-similarity descriptor (SSD) for change detection in buildings, which is shown to be robust against variations in global illumination and small local deformations. The use of building footprints helps reduce the false alarms due to changes in nonbuilding areas. Footprint is also used to differentiate small and large buildings, extract the boundary region of a building, and adapt the descriptor computation accordingly. It is shown that the adaptive SSD provides a more accurate measure of local damage on the building. The 2010 Haiti Earthquake and Typhoon Haiyan 2013 Philippines are analyzed with the proposed method, and 75/82% true positive rate and 25/15% false positive rate are obtained for detection of collapsed buildings with respect to the ground truth data of UNITAR/UNOSAT and HOT.Yayın An emprical point error model for TLS derived point clouds(International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, 2016) Özendi, Mustafa; Akça, Mehmet Devrim; Topan, HüseyinThe random error pattern of point clouds has significant effect on the quality of final 3D model. The magnitude and distribution of random errors should be modelled numerically. This work aims at developing such an anisotropic point error model, specifically for the terrestrial laser scanner (TLS) acquired 3D point clouds. A priori precisions of basic TLS observations, which are the range, horizontal angle and vertical angle, are determined by predefined and practical measurement configurations, performed at real-world test environments. A priori precision of horizontal (??) and vertical (??) angles are constant for each point of a data set, and can directly be determined through the repetitive scanning of the same environment. In our practical tests, precisions of the horizontal and vertical angles were found as ??=±36.6 and ??=±17.8, respectively. On the other hand, a priori precision of the range observation (??) is assumed to be a function of range, incidence angle of the incoming laser ray, and reflectivity of object surface. Hence, it is a variable, and computed for each point individually by employing an empirically developed formula varying as ??=±2a'12 mm for a FARO Focus X330 laser scanner. This procedure was followed by the computation of error ellipsoids of each point using the law of variance-covariance propagation. The direction and size of the error ellipsoids were computed by the principal components transformation. The usability and feasibility of the model was investigated in real world scenarios. These investigations validated the suitability and practicality of the proposed method.Yayın Co-registration of 3d point clouds by using an errors-in-variables model(Copernicus Gesellschaft MBH, 2012-08-25) Aydar, Umut; Altan, Mehmet Orhan; Akyılmaz, Orhan; Akça, Mehmet DevrimCo-registration of point clouds of partially scanned objects is the first step of the 3D modeling workflow. The aim of co-registration is to merge the overlapping point clouds by estimating the spatial transformation parameters. In the literature, one of the most popular methods is the ICP (Iterative Closest Point) algorithm and its variants. There exist the 3D least squares (LS) matching methods as well. In most of the co-registration methods, the stochastic properties of the search surfaces are usually omitted. This omission is expected to be minor and does not disturb the solution vector significantly. However, the a posteriori covariance matrix will be affected by the neglected uncertainty of the function values. This causes deterioration in the realistic precision estimates. In order to overcome this limitation, we propose a new method where the stochastic properties of both (template and search) surfaces are considered under an errors-in-variables (EIV) model. The experiments have been carried out using a close range laser scanning data set and the results of the conventional and EIV types of the ICP matching methods have been compared.Yayın Assessment and enhancement of SAR noncoherent change detection of sea-surface oil spills(IEEE, 2018-01) Bayındır, Cihan; Frost, J. David; Barnes, Christopher F.Oil spills are one of the most dangerous catastrophes that threaten the oceans. Therefore, detecting and monitoring oil spills by means of remote sensing techniques that provide large-scale assessments is of critical importance to predict, prevent, and clean oil contamination. In this study, the detection of an oil spill using synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery is considered. Detection of the oil spill is performed using change detection algorithms between imagery acquired at different times. The specific algorithms used are the correlation coefficient change statistic and the intensity ratio change statistic algorithms. These algorithms and the probabilistic selection of threshold criteria are reviewed and discussed. A recently offered change detection method that depends on generating change maps of two images in a temporal sequence is used. An initial change map is obtained by cumulatively adding sequences in such a manner that common change areas are excluded and uncommon change areas are included. A final change map is obtained by comparing the first and the last images in the temporal sequence. This method requires at least three images to be employed and can be generalized to longer temporal image sequences. The purpose of this approach is to provide a double-check mechanism to the conventional approach and, thus, reduce the probability of false alarm while enhancing change detection. The algorithms are tested on 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill imagery. It is shown that the intensity ratio change statistic is a better tool for identification of the changes due to the oil spill compared to the correlation coefficient change statistic. It is also shown that the proposed method can reduce the probability of false alarm.Yayın A theoretical comparison of ResNet and DenseNet architectures on the subject of shoreline extraction(Işık Üniversitesi, 2020-09-23) Ecevit, Mert İlhan; Çavdaroğlu, Gülsüm Çiğdem; Işık Üniversitesi, Fen Bilimleri Enstitüsü, Enformasyon Teknolojileri Yüksek Lisans ProgramıToday's Deep Learning technologies provides numerous approaches on the subject of convolutional networks. These approaches serve researchers to train datasets and generate wanted results from these datasets. Each CNN architecture has its own strong points and weak sides. Because of this situation a comparison between these architectures is a valuable asset. Image processing is a method that is frequently used to process remotely sensed data in remote sensing studies.. Between current architectures, RESNET and DENSENET architectures are chosen to be used by Dr. Çavdaroğlu for her project on TÜBİTAK. The result of this comparison will be used in that project in order to apply most ecient architecture. This thesis is written to draw outlines of RESNET and DENSENET and create a foresight for further projects which can be supported by this thesis. In order to achieve an accurate image recognition process in remote sensing domain, a preliminary research is requisite. As a research thesis this work serves the purpose of learning manner of works, performance indicators of RESNET and DENSENET convolutional networks. The result of this research will create a baseline for an academical project. At the other hand, comparison of these two convolutional network approaches provides information to decide which approach is more suitable for remote sensing projects depending upon the subject of the project. For future works on Remote Sensing this thesis work will serve a guideline and reason for preference. The presented thesis work has been developed as the technical feasibility of the 3501 TÜBITAK Project named "Uydu Görüntülerinden Kıyı Sınırlarının Derin Öğrenme Yöntemleri ile Otomatik Çıkarımı", applied by Dr. G. Çiğdem Çavdaroğlu, and the thesis results will be applied within the scope of the Project after the project acceptance.Yayın Spatial-Temporary analysis of Istanbul air pollution during the pandemic using Google Earth Engine and Google community mobility reports(Gök, Murat, 2023-06-30) Çavdaroğlu, Gülsüm Çiğdem; Arık, Ahmet OkanThe Covid-19 pandemic has brought drastic changes to people's daily life and environmental characteristics. To control the pandemic, all governments have implemented particular policies for their countries and imposed restrictions that affect people's daily life. The traffic index has decreased in many countries and cities depending on the restrictions. Therefore, restrictions in many countries and cities have positively impacted air quality. However, the opposite has also been observed in metropolitan cities. In this study, the change in the air quality of Istanbul, which is accepted as Turkey's largest metropolitan city, has been examined. First, the spatio-temporal distribution of air pollutants (NO2, CO, and SO2) has been analyzed using Sentinel-5P NRTI satellite images. Then six independent variable groups (traffic index of Istanbul, daily deaths in Istanbul, Google community mobility reports of Istanbul, fuel prices, stringency index of Turkey, two logical attributes regarding the Covid-19 restrictions and in-class education) were collected and combined to analyze the correlations between these variable groups and air pollutant concentrations. According to the spatial distribution graphs, there is a tendency to decrease NO2, CO, and SO2 pollutant concentrations in Istanbul when the restrictions are applied in Turkey. There was no significant relationship between the decrease in community mobility in Istanbul and pollutant concentrations, although an increase in air quality has been observed in many cities due to the restrictions of the Covid-19 pandemic.Yayın Disaster damage assessment for buildings using self-similarity descriptor(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc, 2015) Kahraman, Fatih; İmamoğlu, Mümin; Ateş, Hasan FehmiAssessment of damage caused by an earthquake is significant for coordinating emergency response teams and planning emergency aid. In this study, a robust method is proposed for detecting damaged buildings using pre- and post-event satellite images and building footprints. The method uses local self-similarity descriptor for change detection in buildings, which is shown to be robust against variations in illumination and small local deformations. The use of building footprints helps reduce the false alarms due to changes in non-building areas. The 2010 Haiti earthquake is analyzed with the suggested method and 72% true positive rate and 29% false positive rate are obtained for detection of collapsed buildings with respect to the ground truth data of UNITAR/UNOSAT.Yayın Correlation analysis between the community mobility and nighttime lights in the city of Istanbul, Turkey(2022) Çavdaroğlu, Gülsüm ÇiğdemThe COVID-19, which emerged in Wuhan, China, in 2019, has significantly affected people’s Daily lives, business environment, surrounding environment, and countries' economic and social conditions. This study aims to measure the correlation between community mobility changes in six different areas and nighttime lights in the city of Istanbul, Turkey. Nighttime light data used in the study was obtained from VIIRS Nighttime Day/Night Band Composites Version 1 using remote sensing methods via Google Earth Engine platform. Then the correlation between Nighttime light values and community mobility values was investigated. It has been observed that the correlation values have changed dramatically over the years. The most significant correlation values were observed for the year 2020. This is because 2020 is the year when the pandemic is most effective, and restrictions are at the highest level in Turkey. The increase in freedom in the following years caused a decrease in the correlation. When the correlation results covering the period of February 2020 - to January 2022 were examined, it was observed that there was no significant relationship between nighttime light values and Google Community Mobility Reports’ variables. Considering the correlation results for 2020, it was observed that there was a high negative correlation between nighttime light data and mobility trends for grocery and pharmacy, and mobility trends for places of work. In addition, there was a moderate negative correlation between nighttime light data and mobility trends for retail and recreation, and a moderate positive correlation between nighttime light and mobility trends for places of residence. When the correlation values of 2021 and the correlation values of the period 2021-2022 were examined, no significant relationship was observed.Yayın Google Earth engine based approach for finding fire locations and burned areas in Muğla, Turkey(Science Publishing Group, 2021-10-05) Çavdaroğlu, Gülsüm ÇiğdemForests are considered as one of the main sources of biodiversity. Forest fires caused by various reasons pose a high risk in terms of biodiversity. Therefore, mapping of fire zones is of great importance in determining the damage caused by the fire, managing the fire process, and planning the interventions in the fire zone. Although remote sensing is a fast and cost-effective methodology for mapping fire zones, the implementation of the remote sensing methodologies is problematic in some respects. The web-based Google Earth Engine makes possible to access the satellite imagery and process the imagery easily. The research area of this study is Muğla, Turkey in where many forest fires broke out in 2021 summer. This study provides an implementation of normalized burn ratio which is widely used to highlight burned areas on Google Earth Engine platform. Both vector data and satellite images were used in the study. The vector data is in the shape file format and was uploaded to the Google Earth Engine platform as a table. The Sentinel-2 imagery was used to calculate normalized burn ratio. The satellite imagery was clipped using the table data. The difference pre-fire and post-fire images was calculated, and the classes were assigned to the pixels according to the normalized burn ratio ranges. The study indicates that finding the burned areas and constructing the burn severity levels can be realized in 1.32 minutes on Google Earth Engine platform.
