Conference Object Detection of Urban Change Using Remote Sensing and Gis: Izmir Case(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2008) Tarhan, Çiğdem; Arkon, Cemal; Çelik, M.; Gümüştekin, Şevket; Tecim, V.This study is an example of how land use changes could be detected via high resolution remotely sensed data. In order to perform "change detection" IKONOS satellite images, belonging to 2001 and 2004, have been used. An automated Graphical User Interface (GUI) has been created for detection of environment. Different image enhancement techniques and a fuzzy inference system have been combined in the GUI. The detection results are classified according to some basic levels such as 20-50% and 70%. Additionally, four different change detection algorithms have been applied which are pixel-based, object based, feature based. These algorithms have been examined according to change detection levels with different image enhancement techniques. At the end of the study, the results have been compared.Article Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 20Weighing Diverse Theoretical Models on Turkish Maqam Music Against Pitch Measurements: a Comparison of Peaks Automatically Derived From Frequency Histograms With Proposed Scale Tones(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2009) Bozkurt, Barış; Yarman, Ozan; Karaosmanoğlu, M. Kemal; Akkoç, CanSince the early 20th century, various theories have been advanced in order to mathematically explain and notate modes of Traditional Turkish music known as maqams. In this article, maqam scales according to various theoretical models based on different tunings are compared with pitch measurements obtained from select recordings of master Turkish performers in order to study their level of match with analysed data. Chosen recordings are subjected to a fully computerized sequence of signal processing algorithms for the automatic determination of the set of relative pitches for each maqam scale: f0 estimation, histogram computation, tonic detection + histogram alignment, and peak picking. For nine well-recognized maqams, automatically derived relative pitches are compared with scale tones defined by theoretical models using quantitative distance measures. We analyse and interpret histogram peaks based on these measures to find the theoretical models most conforming with all the recordings, and hence, with the quotidian performance trends influenced by them.Article Taylor Series Approximation of Semi-Blind Blue Channel Estimates With Applications To Dtv(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2008) Pladdy, Christopher; Özen, Serdar; Nerayanuru, Sreenivasa M.; Ding, Peilu; Fimoff, Mark J.; Zoltowski, MichaelWe present a low-complexity method for approximating the semi-blind best linear unbiased estimate (BLUE) of a channel impulse response (CIR) vector for a communication system, which utilizes a periodically transmitted training sequence. The BLUE, for h, for the general linear model, y = Ah + w + n, where w is correlated noise (dependent on the CIR, h) and the vector n is an Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) process, which is uncorrelated with w is given by h = (ATC(h)-1A)-1ATC(h)-1y. In the present work, we propose a Taylor series approximation for the function F(h) = (ATC(h)-1A)-1ATC(h)-1y. We describe the full Taylor formula for this function and describe algorithms using, first-, second-, and third-order approximations, respectively. The algorithms give better performance than correlation channel estimates and previous approximations used, at only a slight increase in complexity. Our algorithm is derived and works within the framework imposed by the ATSC 8-VSB DTV transmission system, but will generalize to any communication system utilizing a training sequence embedded within data.Article Citation - WoS: 25Citation - Scopus: 39An Automatic Pitch Analysis Method for Turkish Maqam Music(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2008) Bozkurt, BarışAutomatic pitch analysis of large audio databases is essential for studies on music information retrieval and developing a pitch scale theory for Turkish maqam music. However no such study is available. In this article, we first determine the main obstacle as the alignment of frequency analysis results from multiple files. We then propose a new method to automatically detect the tonic of a recording, align the data, and estimate overall frequency histograms from large databases. We show that such histograms can be successfully used for pitch scale (tuning) studies on the recordings of Tanburi Cemil Bey, an undisputed master of the genreArticle Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Device length requirement in slab/fiber evanescent coupler(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2000) Dinleyici, Mehmet SalihThe effective device lengths of the fiber half-coupler for various radii of curvatures was found. This calculated length was about a thousand times greater than that calculated by the model method. The device has enough effective interaction length. It also helps in finding the accuracy of estimations made by the CMT and modal method.
