Scale-Invariant Histogram Of Oriented Gradients: Novel Approach For Pedestriandetection In Multiresolution Image Dataset, Sweta Panigrahi, Surya Narayana Raju Undi Jan 2021

Scale-Invariant Histogram Of Oriented Gradients: Novel Approach For Pedestriandetection In Multiresolution Image Dataset, Sweta Panigrahi, Surya Narayana Raju Undi

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This paper proposes a scale-invariant histogram of oriented gradients (SI-HOG) for pedestrian detection. Most of the algorithms for pedestrian detection use the HOG as the basic feature and combine other features with the HOG to form the feature set, which is usually applied with a support vector machine (SVM). Hence, the HOG feature is the most efficient and fundamental feature for pedestrian detection. However, the HOG feature produces feature vectors of different lengths for different image resolutions; thus, the feature vectors are incomparable for the SVM. The proposed method forms a scale-space pyramid wherein the histogram bin is calculated. Thus, …

A Hybrid Numerical Model For Long-Range Electromagnetic Wave Propagation, Gül Yesa Altun, Özlem Özgün

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

A hybrid numerical model is presented for solving long range electromagnetic wave propagation problems involving objects on or above the ground surface by hybridizing the two-way split-step parabolic equation (2W-SSPE) method with the method of moments (MoM). The advantages of the proposed model are twofold: (i) It reduces the staircasing error in irregular terrain modeling, which usually occurs when the standard SSPE method is used alone. This is achieved by employing the MoM to more accurately obtain the scattered fields from slanted/curved surfaces. (ii) It enables the SSPE method to handle the problems involving objects above the Earth's surface, which …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The criticality of investigating the white blood cell (WBC) count cannot be underestimated, as white blood cells are an important component of the body's defence system. From helping to diagnose hidden infections to insinuating the presence of comorbidities like immunodeficiency, an accurate white blood cell count can contribute significantly to shape a physician?s assessment. The manual process performed by the pathologists for the classification of WBCs is a time consuming and tedious task, which is further disadvantaged by a lack of accuracy. This study concentrates on the automatic detection and classification of WBC without data augmentation into four subtypes such …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Outdoor captured scenes are degraded by atmospheric particles and water droplets. Due to scattering andabsorption effects in the atmosphere, degraded images lose contrast and color fidelity. Performances of the computervision algorithms are bound to suffer from low-contrast scene radiance. In many single-image dehazing models, thelarger the deviation in estimation of the key parameters such as transmission map and atmospheric light, the higherthe halo artifacts and loss of fine details in the dehazed image. The available models assume that the scattering lightis independent of wavelength, as the size of the atmospheric particles is larger compared to the wavelength of light.The model …

Optimal Directional Overcurrent Relay Coordination Based On Computationalintelligence Technique: A Review, Suzana Pil Ramli, Muhammad Usama, Hazlie Mokhlis, Wei Ru Wong, Muhamad Hatta Hussain, Munir Azam Muhammad, Nurulafiqah Nadzirah Mansor

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

An exponential increase in diverse load demand in the last decade has influenced the integration of more power plants into the power system. This increases the fault current due to the bidirectional flow of current, resulting in unwanted tripping of the relays if not properly coordinated. Therefore, it is imperative to ensure the installation of relays in the grid being able to sense the fault current from any direction (i.e. upstream or downstream). This can be accomplished by introducing an optimal directional overcurrent relay (DOCR) coordination scheme into the system. This paper presents an in-depth review of the applications of …

Field-Programmable Gate Array (Fpga) Hardware Design And Implementation Ofa New Area Efficient Elliptic Curve Crypto-Processor, Muhammad Kashif, İhsan Çi̇çek

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Elliptic curve cryptography provides a widely recognized secure environment for information exchange in resource-constrained embedded system applications, such as Internet-of-Things, wireless sensor networks, and radio frequency identification. As the elliptic-curve cryptography (ECC) arithmetic is computationally very complex, there is a need for dedicated hardware for efficient computation of the ECC algorithm in which scalar point multiplication is the performance bottleneck. In this work, we present an ECC accelerator that computes the scalar point multiplication for the NIST recommended elliptic curves over Galois binary fields by using a polynomial basis. We used the Montgomery algorithm with projective coordinates for the scalar …

An Admm-Based Incentive Approach For Cooperative Data Analysis In Edgecomputing, Weiwei Fang, Xue Wang, Qingli Wang, Yi Ding Jan 2021

An Admm-Based Incentive Approach For Cooperative Data Analysis In Edgecomputing, Weiwei Fang, Xue Wang, Qingli Wang, Yi Ding

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Edge computing is a new paradigm that provides data processing capabilities at the network edge. In view of the uneven data distribution and the constrained onboard resource, an edge device often needs to call for a number of neighboring devices as followers to cooperate on data analysis tasks. However, these followers may be rational and selfish, having their private optimization objectives such as energy efficiency. Therefore, the leader device needs to incentivize the followers to achieve a certain global objective, e.g., maximizing task accomplishment, rather than their own objectives. In this paper, we model the aforementioned challenges in edge computing …

Improved Online Sequential Extreme Learning Machine: Os-Celm, Olcay Tosun, Recep Eryi̇ği̇t

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Online learning methods (OLM) have been gaining traction as a solution to classification problems because of rapid renewal and fast growth in volume of available data. ELM-based sequential learning (OS-ELM) is one of the most frequently used online learning methodologies partly due to fast training algorithm but suffers from inefficient use of its hidden layers due to the random assignment of the parameters of those layers. In this study, we propose an improved online learning model called online sequential constrained extreme learning machine (OS-CELM), which replaces the random assignment of those parameters with better generalization performance using the CELM method …

Hc-Fft: Highly Configurable And Efficient Fft Implementation On Fpga, Paki̇ze Ergül, H. Fati̇h Uğurdağ, Doğancan Davutoğlu

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

FFT is one of the basic building blocks in many applications such as sensors, radars, communications. For some applications, e.g., real-time spectral monitoring and analysis, FFT needs to be "run-time configurable" so that the system is real-time. When examining the previous work on configurable real-time (FPGA-based) FFT implementations, we see that the degree of configurability is less than what is desired. In this paper, a new FFT architecture is proposed, which has a high degree of run-time configurability and yet does not compromise area or throughput. The configurable parameters of this design are the number of FFT points (up to …
