    Illicit Material Detection Using Dual-Energy X-Ray Images
    (Zarka Private Univ, 2016) Hassanpour, Reza; Hassanpour, Reza; Yazılım Mühendisliği
    Dual energy X-ray inspection systems are widely used in security and controlling systems. The performance of these systems however, degrades with the poor performance of human operators. Computer vision based systems are of vital importance in improving the detection rate of illicit materials, while keeping false alarms at a reasonably low level. In this study, a novel method is proposed for detecting material overlapping and reconstructing multiple images by alleviating these overlaps. Evaluation tests were conducted on images taken from luggage inspection X-ray screening devices used in shopping centres. The experimental results indicate that the reconstructed images are much easier to inspect by human operators than the unprocessed original images.

    Human Face Identification Using M-Pca Augmented With Gabor Wavelet
    (2005) Karaömeroǧlu, B.; Hassanpour, Reza; Hassanpour, R.; Yazılım Mühendisliği
    In this paper, a specialized version of PCA augmented with Gabor Wavelet Transform is proposed for face identification. Firstly, to cope with the variations due to illumination and facial expression changes 2D Gabor Wavelet Transform is applied; then for reducing a large set of correlated variables to a small number of uncorrelated components the PCA approach is used with some modifications. Based on the effect of the illumination, facial expression and occluding objects such as eye glasses and facial hair, performance of the proposed algorithm is compared with the other algorithms.

    Real Time Hand-Face Tracking Using Skin Color and Motion
    (int inst informatics & Systemics, 2005) Hassanpour, Reza; Hassanpour, Reza; Birdal, Ahmet; Yazılım Mühendisliği
    Human hand gestures and face expressions are a major tool for communicating ideas between people. Hand gestures may also account for the main part of the communication when other tools are not preferred or simply not available. First step for an automatic interpretation of these gestures and expressions is their segmentation and tracking. We have developed an algorithm to track hand motions in real time. Our algorithm is based on the motion and color features of the interested areas. A modified form of Adaptive Mean Shift method is used for tracking hands and face. A rule based system monitors the correctness of the segmentation and tracking.

    Region Based Hand Gesture Recognition
    (Union Agency Science Press, 2008) Birdal, Ahmet; Hassanpour, Reza; Hassanpour, Reza; Yazılım Mühendisliği
    Evolution of user interfaces shapes the change in the human-computer interaction. With rapid emerge of three-dimensional (3-D) applications, the need for a new type of interaction device arises since traditional devices such as mouse, keyboard, and joystick become inefficient for interaction within these virtual environments. A better interaction in virtual environments requires a natural and suitable device. "Hand Gesture" concept in human computer interaction which has become popular in recent years can be used to develop such an interaction device. This study reports the development of a real-time, low cost, vision based hand gesture recognition system that works precisely on a relatively small restricted gesture space for single user robot control and human-computer interaction in such an environment that the lighting is relatively stable and the background is not complex.

    Vision-Based Hand Gesture Recognition for Human Computer Interaction: a Review
    (2008) Hassanpour, R.; Hassanpour, Reza; Wong, S.; Shahbahrami, A.; Yazılım Mühendisliği
    Evolution of user interfaces shapes the change in the human-computer interaction. With the rapid emergence of threedimensional (3-D) applications; the need for a new type of interaction device arises as traditional devices such as mouse, keyboard, and joystick become inefficient and cumbersome within these virtual environments. Intuitive and naturalness characteristics of "Hand Gestures" in human computer interaction have been the driving force and motivation to develop an interaction device which can replace current unwieldy tools. This study is a survey on the methods of analyzing, modeling and recognizing hand gestures in the context of human-computer interaction. Taxonomy of the methods based on the applications that they have been developed for and the approaches that they have used to represent gestures is presented. Direction of future developments is also discussed. © 2008 IADIS.

    Spam Mail Filtering Using Bayesian Classifier and Heuristics
    (2006) Eş, Sinan; Eş, S.; Aşkun, A.R.; Hassanpour, Reza; Hassanpour, R.; Bilgisayar Mühendisliği; Yazılım Mühendisliği
    Commercials and virus infected files transferred by electronic mails (e-mail) have been a main source of time and resource loss during the past decade and email filtering as a binary text classification problem has attracted the attention of many researchers recently. In this study, we have tried to find a filtering solution which is able to automatically classify emails into spam and legitimate categories. In order to automatically and efficiently classify emails as spam or legitimate we took advantage of some Bayesian stochastic algorithms and machine learning based heuristic methods. Our approach includes some novel ideas from Information Retrieval.

    A Novel Intelligent and Fast Question Answering System for World Wide Web
    (int inst informatics & Systemics, 2007) Aşkun, Ali Rıza; Bolat, Saadettin; Demirbulak, Dilara; Askun, Ali Riza; Dernirbulak, Dilara; Hassanpour, Reza; Bolat, Saadettin; Hassanpour, Reza; Ortak Dersler Bölümü; İngiliz Dili ve Edebiyatı; Yazılım Mühendisliği; Bilgisayar Mühendisliği
    The World Wide Web has expanded to include on-line access to an almost unlimited number of documents. However, this enormous source of information brings with it the problem of searching the documents efficiently and easily. We have developed a Web-based Question Answering System, which primarily focuses on open domain fact-based short answer questions and also some definition questions. The most important characteristics of the system are its capability in understanding questions given in a natural language style and the effective search which avoids transferring a large amount of unnecessary data. Experimental results show the superiority of the proposed method to available similar systems in terms of accuracy.

    Digital Video Stabilization Using Radon Transform
    (Ieee, 2012) Babagholami-Mohamadabadi, Behnam; Bagheri-Khaligh, Ali; Hassanpour, Reza
    Digital video stabilization is a category of techniques used to reduce the impact of unintentional camera motion such as jitter, jiggle, and other unsteady motions. These unintentional shakings degrade visual quality of videos and reduce the performance of subsequent processes such as video compression. Digital video stabilization which is performed by post processing the acquired frames, suffers from inaccuracy of motion estimation which is mostly due to the local motions of internal moving objects included in videos, and long processing time which prohibits them from being used in real time applications. In this paper we propose a fast and accurate transform based motion estimation method which is robust to internal moving objects. Our experimental results with real and synthesized data indicate efficacy of our proposed method.

    Automatic Detection of Mitochondria From Electron Microscope Tomography Images: a Curve Fitting Approach
    (Spie-int Soc Optical Engineering, 2014) Mumcuoglu, Erkan U.; Perkins, Guy; Martone, Maryann; Tasel, Serdar F.; Hassanpour, Reza
    Mitochondria are sub-cellular components which are mainly responsible for synthesis of adenosine tri-phosphate (ATP) and involved in the regulation of several cellular activities such as apoptosis. The relation between some common diseases of aging and morphological structure of mitochondria is gaining strength by an increasing number of studies. Electron microscope tomography (EMT) provides high-resolution images of the 3D structure and internal arrangement of mitochondria. Studies that aim to reveal the correlation between mitochondrial structure and its function require the aid of special software tools for manual segmentation of mitochondria from EMT images. Automated detection and segmentation of mitochondria is a challenging problem due to the variety of mitochondrial structures, the presence of noise, artifacts and other sub-cellular structures. Segmentation methods reported in the literature require human interaction to initialize the algorithms. In our previous study, we focused on 2D detection and segmentation of mitochondria using an ellipse detection method. In this study, we propose a new approach for automatic detection of mitochondria from EMT images. First, a preprocessing step was applied in order to reduce the effect of non-mitochondrial sub-cellular structures. Then, a curve fitting approach was presented using a Hessian-based ridge detector to extract membrane-like structures and a curve-growing scheme Finally, an automatic algorithm was employed to detect mitochondria which are represented by a subset of the detected curves. The results show that the proposed method is more robust in detection of mitochondria in consecutive EMT slices as compared with our previous automatic method.
