    Application of a Software Agility Assessment Model – Agilitymod in the Field
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2019) Özcan Top, Özden; Demirörs, Onur
    Adoption of agile values and principles and transformation of organizations towards agility are not easy and straightforward. Misinterpretation of agile principles and values, and adoption of partial solutions with few agile practices instead of holistic approaches prevent organizations to obtain full benefits of agile methods. We developed the Software Agility Assessment Reference Model (AgilityMod) for the appraisal of software projects from agility perspective and to provide guidance on specifying gaps on the road towards agility (agile maturity). The meta-model of AgilityMod was defined in relation with the ISO/IEC 15504-Process Assessment Model. AgilityMod was developed in an iterative and incremental manner by running successive case studies and getting opinions of experts for the evaluation and improvement of the Model. The multiple case study that we present here in detail included the implementation of the Model in eight software development companies. The results of this case study were evaluated by the case study participants. According to the significant majority of the case study participants, AgilityMod achieves its purpose.

    A Simplified Two-View Geometry Based External Calibration Method for Omnidirectional and Ptz Camera Pairs
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2016) Baştanlar, Yalın
    The external calibration of a camera system is essential for most of the applications that involve an omnidirectional and a pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera. The methods in the literature fall into two major categories; (1) a complete external calibration of the system which allows all degrees of freedom but highly time consuming, (2) spatial mapping between the pixel coordinates in omnidirectional camera and pan/tilt angles of the PTZ camera instead of explicitly computing the rotation and translation. Most methods in this category make restrictive assumptions about the camera setup such as optical axes of the cameras coincide. We propose an external calibration method that is effective and practical. Using the two-view geometry principles and making reasonable assumptions about the camera setup, calibration is performed with just two scene points. We extract rotation using the point correspondences in images. Locating the PTZ camera in the omnidirectional image is used to find the translation parameters and the real distance between the two scene points lets us compute the translation in correct scale. Results of the simulated and real image experiments show that our method works effectively in real world cases and its accuracy is comparable to the state-of-the-art methods.
