Research

Agriculture

This project is part of the EPICS (Engineering Projects in Community Service) IEEE program. In this project, we propose to monitor 1000 olive trees and their olive fruits in an olive field in Western Turkey and establish an early warning system to constantly inform farmers of the status of their trees and advise them of the likely outcome of their harvest and measure to be taken to avoid a low harvest or poor-quality fruits.

  • We will utilize the ArcGIS system.
  • We are developing web applications to create our own database system.
  • The plan includes frequent aerial monitoring and image collection and using in-house databases.

Underwater

Underwater noise measurements are carried out using custom hydrophones. Time labeling of water transports, detection of marine species, and extraction of underwater noise maps. The TÜBİTAK project "Analysis and Modeling of Underwater Sections in the Turkish Straits System" is being conducted collaboratively out in collaboration with Istanbul University`s Institute of Marine Sciences and Management, Department Of Physical Oceanography And Marine Biology.

Seismology

High precision geophones are used in our study of Seismic events. The list of our previous projects include: Earthquake Data Analysis, Animal-Human-Vehicle Detection, Localization, etc.

Bioacoustics

Assist. Prof. Dr. Emrah Çoraman advises us on our bat research and shares his knowledge and experience with us. We thank Prof. Dr. Emrah Çoraman and his team.

The edited footage on the left belongs to one of our field surveys. To record this video, we utilized four thermal and NV cameras arranged alongside four microphones with high-frequency sampling rates all stored in an array.

Image and Video Processing

There are many different types of cameras in our laboratory:

  • IP Cameras
  • High-speed Cameras
  • NV Cameras
  • Fisheye Cameras
  • Thermal Cameras & Black Bodies
  • Action Cameras
  • Embedded Vision Cameras
Face Recognition

"FaceCapt", an ArtGe Inc. project, is developed by the academy-industry cooperation. Currently, it is being actively used at the entrance of ARIS LAB.

Thermal - Optic Camera

Camera Array Processing, Object Detection, Segmentation, Liveliness, Temprature Measurements, etc.

Target Tracking in Camera Array Systems

Senior Design Project of Bachelor Students Yiğit Tabak and Deha Diker.
