Article Line-Of Rate Construction for a Roll-Pitch Gimbal Via a Virtual Pitch-Yaw Gimbal(Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2021) Cifdaloz, OguzhanIn this paper, a method to construct the line of sight rate of a target with a roll-pitch gimbal and tracker is described. Construction of line-of-sight rate is performed via utilizing a virtual pitch-yaw gimbal. Kinematics of both the roll-pitch and pitch-yaw gimbals are described. A dynamical model for the roll-pitch gimbal is developed, and a nested control structure is designed to control the angular rates and line of sight angles. A kinematic model of the tracker is developed and a tracker controller is designed to keep the target in the field of view. Conversion equations between roll-pitch and pitch-yaw gimbal configurations are provided. Finally, constructed line of sight rates are compared to true line of sight rates via simulations. Obtained results indicate that the constructed line of sight rates pertaining to a target satisfactorily converge to the actual line of sight rates.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Filter Design for Small Target Detection on Infrared Imagery Using Normalized-Cross Layer(Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2020) Demir, H. Seckin; Akagunduz, ErdemIn this paper, we introduce a machine learning approach to the problem of infrared small target detection filter design. For this purpose, similar to a convolutional layer of a neural network, the normalized-cross-correlational (NCC) layer, which we utilize for designing a target detection/recognition filter bank, is proposed. By employing the NCC layer in a neural network structure, we introduce a framework, in which supervised training is used to calculate the optimal filter shape and the optimum number of filters required for a specific target detection/recognition task on infrared images. We also propose the mean-absolute-deviation NCC (MAD-NCC) layer, an efficient implementation of the proposed NCC layer, designed especially for FPGA systems, in which square root operations are avoided for real-time computation. As a case study we work on dim-target detection on midwave infrared imagery and obtain the filters that can discriminate a dim target from various types of background clutter, specific to our operational concept.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 10Extending a Sentiment Lexicon With Synonym-Antonym Datasets: Swnettr Plus(Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2019) Genc, Burkay; Sever, Hayri; Saglam, FatihIn our previous studies on developing a general-purpose Turkish sentiment lexicon, we constructed SWNetTR-PLUS, a sentiment lexicon of 37K words. In this paper, we show how to use Turkish synonym and antonym word pairs to extend SWNetTR-PLUS by almost 33% to obtain SWNetTR++, a Turkish sentiment lexicon of 49K words. The extension was done by transferring the problem into the graph domain, where nodes are words, and edges are synonym- antonym relations between words, and propagating the existing tone and polarity scores to the newly added words using an algorithm we have developed. We tested the existing and new lexicons using a manually labeled Turkish news media corpus of 500 news texts. The results show that our method yielded a significantly more accurate lexicon than SWNetTR-PLUS, resulting in an accuracy increase from 72.2% to 80.4%. At this level, we have now maximized the accuracy rates of translation-based sentiment analysis approaches, which first translate a Turkish text to English and then do the analysis using English sentiment lexicons.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 3Identifying Criminal Organizations From Their Social Network Structures(Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2019) Genc, Burkay; Sever, Hayri; Cinar, Muhammet SerkanIdentification of criminal structures within very large social networks is an essential security feat. By identifying such structures, it may be possible to track, neutralize, and terminate the corresponding criminal organizations before they act. We evaluate the effectiveness of three different methods for classifying an unknown network as terrorist, cocaine, or noncriminal. We consider three methods for the identification of network types: evaluating common social network analysis metrics, modeling with a decision tree, and network motif frequency analysis. The empirical results show that these three methods can provide significant improvements in distinguishing all three network types. We show that these methods are viable enough to be used as supporting evidence by security forces in their fight against criminal organizations operating on social networks.
