This study was aimed to investigate the performance and sensitivity of a 3D photogrammetric model generated without GCPs (Ground Control Points). To see if the models with no GCPs show the accuracy in every types of terrain as well as climate or metrological conditions, two separate studies are done in two areas with different characteristics such as Altitude, slope, topography, and meteorological varieties. The study areas were initially modelled with GCPs and later without GCPs. Furthermore, some of the dimensions and areas within the modelled area were measured using terrestrial techniques (with GPS/GNSS) for accuracy analysis. After modelling within the areas with and without GCPs, different territories with different slope and geometric shapes were selected. Various measurement in terms of length, area and volume carried out over the selected territories within both model (generated with and without GCPs) of each 2 studies. The datasets obtained as results of measurements were compared to each other and the measurements carried out over the models produced with GCPs were accepted as true values. Results from length measurement provided various level of success. First study area exhibited very promising results in length measurement with a relative error of less than 1% and RMSE (Root Mean Square Error) of 0.139m. In the case of area measurement, in the first study area (Sivas), a minimum relative error of 0.04% and a maximum relative error of 1.05% with a RMSE of 1.264 m² is obtained. In the second study areas (Artvin) for area measurement a minimum relative error of 0.56% and a maximum relative error of 5.27% with a RMSE of 1.76m² is achieved. And finally, in the case of volume measurement, for fist study area (Sivas) a minimum relative error of 0.8% and a maximum relative error of 6.8% as well as 2.301 m³ is calculated. For second study area (Artvin) minimum relative error for volume measurement is 0.502% as well as maximum relative error is 2.01% with a 7.061m³ RMSE.

Today, industrialization and urbanization in large cities cause an increase in the surfaces covered with man-made objects such as concrete and asphalt. The expansion of urban areas and increase in the using materials with high heat storage properties, directly affect the Land Surface Temperature (LST), which shows an increase in the sensible temperature of the region. LST is directly connected to the natural green vegetation of the land and varies widely in large urban areas, these differences related to the temperature is defined as the ‘urban heat island’. In this study, it was investigated the temporal variation of land surface temperature due to urbanization. Bursa, which is considered as a study area, has shown a rapid population increase since 1990 and a rapid increase in the number of buildings with the impact of urbanization and industrialisation. To determine the effect of this urbanization and industrialisation on land surface temperature, temporal change analysis of the surface temperature in the Bursa was observed with Landsat satellite images of 1988, 1998, 2008 and 2018. From produced maps, it was observed that the amount of green vegetation in urban areas decreased and as a consequence of this decrease, the surface temperature increased in the urban areas.

Ground-based synthetic aperture radar (GB-SAR) systems are mostly utilized to be practical practices in improved understanding of the complex mechanism of microwave backscattering. They also provide complementary information on evaluating the validity of the polarimetric analysis of air-borne or satellite-borne SAR applications. This study investigates some capabilities of polarimetric L-band GB-SAR imaging by testing its performance against a typical terrain and various kinds of manmade targets. Trihedral corner reflectors are also included in the analyses because of their importance in data calibration. Polarimetric backscattering signatures of different targets are analyzed in terms of qualitative assessment of amplitude images and identification and classification of scattering mechanisms through target decomposition techniques. The findings of these analyses and detailed discussions are presented. Specifically, the entropy/mean-alpha ((H/α )) classification results are shown to be capable of clearly identifying the dominant scattering mechanisms occurring within the investigated scene.

Main purpose of the design of multi-layer radar absorber (MRA) by means of metaheuristic optimization algorithms is to minimize both the total thickness (TT) of MRA and the maximum reflection coefficients for transverse electric (RTE) & transverse magnetic (RTM) polarizations at any oblique angle of incidence. For this purpose, sequence and thicknesses of layers of the MRA have been optimized by either single-objective approach based on combining all objectives or double-objective approach in which TT is evaluated separately from the reflection coefficients. In this study, triple-objective artificial bee colony (TO-ABC) algorithm integrated with Pareto front technique is proposed for fully optimized MRA design. Thus, both RTE, RTM and TT are simultaneously minimized by optimizing thickness, sequence and number of the layers. To demonstrate the superiority of TO-ABC, 3 types of MRAs operating at the frequency ranges of 2–18 GHz for each angle of incidence from 0⁰ to 60⁰ are optimized and compared with the literature. Furthermore, 4 different real MRAs are also optimized using real materials given in the literature. Thanks to the developed graphical user interface and TO-ABC algorithm, despite the limited number of materials, all possible solutions providing the specified parameters are easily achieved and successful MRA structures are designed.
