Article Citation - Scopus: 3Cut-In Maneuver Detection With Self-Supervised Contrastive Video Representation Learning(Springer, 2023) Nalçakan, Yağız; Baştanlar, YalınThe detection of the maneuvers of the surrounding vehicles is important for autonomous vehicles to act accordingly to avoid possible accidents. This study proposes a framework based on contrastive representation learning to detect potentially dangerous cut-in maneuvers that can happen in front of the ego vehicle. First, the encoder network is trained in a self-supervised fashion with contrastive loss where two augmented videos of the same video clip stay close to each other in the embedding space, while augmentations from different videos stay far apart. Since no maneuver labeling is required in this step, a relatively large dataset can be used. After this self-supervised training, the encoder is fine-tuned with our cut-in/lane-pass labeled datasets. Instead of using original video frames, we simplified the scene by highlighting surrounding vehicles and ego-lane. We have investigated the use of several classification heads, augmentation types, and scene simplification alternatives. The most successful model outperforms the best fully supervised model by ∼ 2% with an accuracy of 92.52%Article Label-Free Retraining for Improved Ground Plane Segmentation(Springer, 2022) Uzyıldırım, Furkan Eren; Özuysal, MustafaDue to increased potential applications of unmanned aerial vehicles over urban areas, algorithms for the safe landing of these devices have become more critical. One way to ensure a safe landing is to locate the ground plane regions of images captured by the device camera that are free of obstacles by deep semantic segmentation networks. In this paper, we study the performance of semantic segmentation networks trained for this purpose at a particular altitude and location. We show that a variation in altitude and location significantly decreases network performance. We then propose an approach to retrain the network using only a new set of images and without marking the ground regions in this novel training set. Our experiments show that we can convert a network’s operating range from low to high altitudes and vice versa by label-free retraining.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 9Dementia diagnosis by ensemble deep neural networks using FDG-PET scans(Springer, 2022) Yiğit, Altuğ; Baştanlar, Yalın; Işık, ZerrinDementia is a type of brain disease that affects the mental abilities. Various studies utilize PET features or some two-dimensional brain perspectives to diagnose dementia. In this study, we have proposed an ensemble approach, which employs volumetric and axial perspective features for the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease and the patients with mild cognitive impairment. We have employed deep learning models and constructed two disparate networks. The first network evaluates volumetric features, and the second network assesses grid-based brain scan features. Decisions of these networks were combined by an adaptive majority voting algorithm to create an ensemble learner. In the evaluations, we compared ensemble networks with single ones as well as feature fusion networks to identify possible improvement; as a result, the ensemble method turned out to be promising for making a diagnostic decision. The proposed ensemble network achieved an average accuracy of 91.83% for the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease; to the best of our knowledge, it is the highest diagnosis performance in the literature.
