An in-band interference occurs when a part of transmission band is simultaneously used by another application and raise the noise floor and reduce signal ratio/noise ratio(SNR). In channel sounding, measurement campaigns are expensive and difficult to repeat since every channel data is valuable for a sound channel. In this study `Minimum Norm' method was used to reduce the effect of interference in the frequency modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) channel data. The minimum norm method reduced the noise floor by about 20 dB for the channel data with in-band interference.

In this study, an approach is developed for automatic gender classification from human face images. For representing the face images, different kinds of feature extraction methods (Local Binary Pattern operator, Gabor filtering, Local Gabor Binary Pattern operator) are used. The feature vectors are tested with AdaBoost and Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithms. The experiments conducted on the face images from the MORPH database show that our method outperforms the current state of the art methods.

True Random Number Generators, vital and indispensable primitives of cryptography, are systems that generate identically distributed, independent, and unpredictable numbers. In this work, we study and evaluate the true random number generation potential and feasibility of a one dimensional chaotic function over a customly developed mathematical model of logistic map in MATLAB as an alternative example to existing topologically complex, hard to analyze and design continuous time chaos based true random number generators.We have generated random numbers using the model and applied NIST 800.22 statistical tests. Results reveal the true random number generation potential of one dimensional chaotic function when certain conditions are met.

Automated Firearms Identification (AFI) systems assist to shed lights on criminal events by comparing evidences on cartridge cases and bullets and by matching similar ones that were fired from the same firearm. However, comparison process is difficult due to increased amount of incidents. Therefore, firearm brand detection is a useful step for the ballistic investigations to limit the comparison set and to increase the performance. In this paper, we propose global shape characteristics based classification for firearm brand detection. The proposed method makes use of autocorrelation function and power spectral density of the cartridge case area to extract the features related to global shape characteristics.

In this study, the locus equations of Turkish plosives are examined. The speech database including all the combinations of Turkish plosives and vowels is prepared for this purpose. The formant frequencies of plosives and successive vowels are manually determined for the speech data in the database. The locus equations for Turkish plosives are determined by using this data. The observations show that the parameters of locus equations can be a very distinctive feature for Turkish plosives.

By the improvement of the technology, the applications used for simplifying the daily life create an important work area day after day. In this study, an equipment control component that could be used as intelligence home application based on voice recognition was improved. By this aim, database belonging to intended control voices like turn on the lamp, close the curtain was created by pre-processing the steps of the voice samples taken from five people. For education and test steps, the performance of the algorithm was compared by using Euclidian distance method, artificial neural network and dynamic time warping algorithm separately in the voice recognition step. As for the recognition step, the proposed algorithms were verified by the implementation of the duties that correspond to pairing words as real time on the control cards.

In literature, many target-specific methods are available for target detection on satellite images. Yet for many targets, intra-class variance is high. This situation results in decreased detection performance after generalization. Airfield is one of the targets with high intra-class variance in satellite images. This variance is caused by different compositions observed in airfields. Hence, approaches which aim at detecting airfields in specific regions and compositions are either unsuccessful or inapplicable to images taken from different regions. Context invariants make it possible to generalize target detection algorithms for varying target compositions and regions. In this study, context invariants are proposed for airfield region-of-interest detection and it is observed that context invariance plays an important role in developing robust and reliable algorithm for varying region, climate and compositions.

Chaotic ferroresonance is one of the disturbances of a power system, which may cause chaotic oscillations with over voltages and over currents. In order to protect system and keep it stable the frequency estimation should be fulfilled accurately. In this study first chaotic oscillations of ferroresonance are modeled with forced Duffing oscillator's dynamical equations. MUSIC (Multiple Signal Classification) and ESPRIT (Estimation of Parameters by Rotationally Invariant Technique) methods are proposed for frequency estimation of chaotically distorted power system signals. Frequency is estimated efficiently by using the MUSIC and ESPRIT methods. Finally, computer simulations have been carried out for the performance analysis of the proposed methods and the comparison results of the proposed methods based on the SNR (Signal to noise ratio) values are given.
