Article Automated Detection and Quantification of Honey Adulteration Using Thermal Imaging and Convolutional Neural Networks(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2026) Unluturk, Mehmet S.; Berk, Berkay; Unluturk, SevcanHoney is a valuable natural food rich in bioactive substances beneficial to health. Despite strict regulations prohibiting adulteration, honey remains one of the most frequently adulterated foods, often with low-cost commercial syrups. Conventional detection methods require expensive instruments, expert operators, and lengthy analysis times, limiting their practical use. This study introduces a rapid and automated method for detecting and quantifying honey adulteration using thermal image analysis combined with a tailored Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architecture. Thirty-six pure honey samples (blossom and honeydew) from different regions of T & uuml;rkiye were adulterated with inverted sugar, maltose, and glucose syrups at varying levels (3 %-60 % weight/weight (w/w)). Samples were heated to 60 degrees C and thermal images were captured during cooling using a custom image-capturing unit. The CNN model employed a multi-layer structure, starting with a shallow network for binary classification (pure vs adulterated honey) achieving 100 % accuracy, followed by specialized deeper CNN regressors to quantify adulterant levels with mean squared errors of 0.0003, 0.001, and 0.0002 for glucose, maltose, and inverted sugar, respectively. This layered CNN approach leverages thermal patterns linked to adulteration, enabling sensitive, rapid, and non-destructive quality control. Furthermore, the method is integrated into a user-friendly hardware-software system called Compact Adulteration Testing Cabinet on Honey (CATCH), requiring no specialized expertise, demonstrating strong potential for automated honey authenticity verification in practical settings.Conference Object Current Sensing in Phase-OTDR Systems Using Deep Learning(SPIE, 2025) Yeke, M.C.; Sirin, S.; Yüksel, K.; Gumus, A.Fiber optic current sensors are marked by a number of advantages such as light-weight, small-size and inherently insulated nature when compared to conventional current transformers which get bulkier and costlier as the desired values of current to be measured increase. Phase-OTDR is a widely known technology especially in acoustic and thermal sensing, but it suffers from noise that limits its usage for current sensing especially for low currents. In order to interpret the noisy data retrieved from Phase-OTDR current sensor simulator, deep learning techniques can have promising performance. In this paper, 3 different types of deep learning models were proposed and applied on the data generated by Phase-OTDR current sensor simulator tool to improve the ability to distinguish low and similar current levels. The current measurements were analyzed as a classification problem where different current ranges with different current increments are selected as different classes. The proposed method provided 100% accuracy at a difference of 20 A between the current levels. In addition, other scenarios where the current levels were increased by 15 A and 10 A were also studied. In this case, the accuracies 97% and 89% were obtained, respectively. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1Konteyner Görüntülerini Kullanarak Hasar Tespiti ve Sınıflandırması(IEEE, 2020) Imamoglu, Zeynep Ekici; Tuglular, Tugkan; Bastanlar, YalinIn the logistics sector, digital transformation is of great importance in terms of competition. In the present case, container warehouse entry / exit operations are carried out manually by the logistics personnel including container damage detection. During container warehouse entry / exit process, the process of detecting damaged containers is carried out by the personnel and several minutes are required to upload to the IT system. The aim of our work is to automate the detection of damaged containers. This way, the mistakes made by the personnel will be eliminated and the process will be accelerated. In this work, we propose to use a convolutional neural network (CNN) that takes the container images and classify them as damaged or undamaged. We modeled the problem as a binary classification and employed different CNN models. The result we obtained shows that there is no single best method for the classification. It is shown how the dataset was created and how the parameters used in the layered structures affect the models employed in this study.
