In this study, it is aimed to follow a visual route by an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). The recognition of the predetermined line by using image processing algorithms and the process of following the route by using the method of Tangent Vector Field Guidance (TVFG) have been performed in indoor and outdoor experiments. UAV's following the correct route has been ensured by calculating the deflection caused by some factors such as wind and light which adversely affect the flight of UAV. In Vector Field Guidance method, the direction angles calculated by using the vector fields that will follow the line-shaped guide path are used. Whe . . .n the path to be followed has more than one direction instead of a single straight line, it is divided into sections which consist of straight lines, and by prioritizing these lines, the most dominant line is followed. In this study, it is aimed to provide a dynamic model by considering the tracking errors. As a result of the process adopted, UAV's autonomous flight is achieved by using the visual inputs and TVFG method, and the external disturbing factors are investigated Daha fazlası Daha az

In this study, the wind speed prediction model is created that gives a minimum error for different hidden layer neuron numbers and delay step numbers. Using the one-minute time series, the prediction of the next wind speed is performed with the NAR neural network model. The predicted values of wind speed obtained are compared with predicted values of wind speed obtained with filter methods. For different window functions and lengths, wind speed prediction is made using filters with different weight coefficients. For the number of hidden layer neurons is 14 and the number of delay steps is 10, MAE, MSE and RMSE values are calculated . . .as 0.0315, 0.0019, 0.0445, respectively, with NAR neural network. It is seen that the proposed method for the wind speed dataset has a higher prediction performance than thefilter methods. © 2017 IEEE Daha fazlası Daha az

Reverberation and multipath propagation afîect the accuracy of time of flight (TOF) estimation in confined underwater medium. In this paper, time delay has been estimated by obtaining the transmitted signal and first echo signal from measured signal acquised by using a wideband transducer with 5 MHz central frequency. Cross-correlation (CC) and generalized cross-correlation (GCC) methods have been applied to the obtained signals and their performances have been compared. The results show that GCC method has better performance for time delay estimation in confined underwater medium where multipath propagation and reverberation are se . . .vere. © 2017 IEEE Daha fazlası Daha az

In this paper, two different methods are suggested in order to provide image enhancement in ultrasonic B-mode imaging. By obtaining RF data from two different phantom used to form B-mode image, their spectral characteristics were observed. Then by forming RF envelope from obtained data, conversion of envelope to color image is provided. Logarithmic compression and histogram equalization methods found in literature are used to improve image quality. From the results obtained, it is observed that both algorithms are effective based on the intended use when they are applied individually. © 2016 IEEE.

In this study, we perform target detection and tracking with Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) as well as the visual command of UAV. Our goal is to develop an autopilot system to reduce the human factor in UAV's. We create a system that follows different objects, stays locked to a graphical object which is glyph that has an encryption that only we describe, and executes the mission encoded on glyph in both indoor and outdoor tests. We obtain the targeting by the angle and the dimensions of the glyph. We've obtained successful results in applied presentations. © 2015 IEEE.

Acoustic echo in voice transmission systems severely degrades the speech quality and the speech intelligibility of speech signal due to it is formed through picking up sounds from the loudspeaker by speaker microphone. The dynamic strucure of the acoustic echo system contains cascade connection of an electro-acoustic static nonlinear system and a dynamic linear system. Hence linear models can not be successful solution to echo problem. In this paper, acoustic echo problem is mentioned and an algorithm that adapts the parameters of nonlinear Hammerstein system (cascade connection of a static nonlinearity and a dynamic linear system) . . .is suggested Daha fazlası Daha az

This study focuses on the modelling of 3 axis gimbal system with the RRR joint structure on the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), which is autonomously moving for the target tracking, based on experimental input (motor velocities) and output (end effector position) data. The fact that UAVs move in a certain direction and that the camera on the end effector of the gimbal system on it is adhere to the correct target attracts many researchers. The transfer function of the 3 axis gimbal system is obtained by linearly structured OE-Output Error model using experimentally obtained data under different external disturbance effects. Model degr . . .ee is determined and data set based verification is applied. Also, the performance is compared by examining the effect of external disturbance in the transfer function obtained. © 2017 IEEE Daha fazlası Daha az

Time delay estimation has been used as a research area of significant practical important in many fields such as especially military system like localization, targeting, course acquisition also sonar, seismology, hands-free communications etc. In these applications, it is important to detect the delay and arrival times of ultrasonic echoes comprised in the medium for ultrasonic signals. Here, it is aimed to determine the time delay between the signals arrived from a signal source in order to detect the location. Hence, a system is suggested that uses a multi-surfaced waveguide with only one receiver instead of using receiver arrays. . . . By using this structure, time delay estimation is compared for different signal-to-noise ratios with Cross-Correlation, Maximum Likelihood and Phase Transform methods. © 2014 IEEE Daha fazlası Daha az

The spatially limited plane (SLP) wave can be created by exciting the ring transducer elements with different amplitudes and at different times. Although the ring transducer initially worked well, many transducer elements have become inoperative, due probably to service life and material life. The result of these bad elements is artifacts in the resulting spatially limited plane waves. In this study, the effects of bad elements of ring transducer system (RTS) which is used to obtain high quality images by using inverse scattering techniques in formation of the SLP wave are investigated. Also, the weighting of operative elements is e . . .xamined in order to compensate the bad ones. Results show that loses in the generated SLP wave can be compensated with correcting the artifacts of bad elements by using elements adjacent to the inoperative ones. © 2016 IEEE Daha fazlası Daha az
