Accurate indoor positioning with ultra-wide band sensors
(Tubitak, 2020) Arsan, Taner
Ultra-wide band is one of the emerging indoor positioning technologies. In the application phase, accuracy and interference are important criteria of indoor positioning systems. Not only the method used in positioning, but also the algorithms used in improving the accuracy is a key factor. In this paper, we tried to eliminate the effects of off-set and noise in the data of the ultra-wide band sensor-based indoor positioning system. For this purpose, optimization algorithms and filters have been applied to the raw data, and the accuracy has been improved. A test bed with the dimensions of 7.35 m x 5.41 m and 50 cm x 50 cm grids has been selected, and a total of 27,000 measurements have been collected from 180 test points. The average positioning error of this test bed is calculated as 16.34 cm. Then, several combinations of algorithms are applied to raw data. The combination of Big Bang-Big Crunch algorithm for optimization, and then the Kalman Filter have yielded the most accurate results. Briefly, the average positioning error has been reduced from 16.34 cm to 7.43 cm.

(IEEE, 2009) Arsan, Taner; Bozkuş, Zeki; Arsan, Taner
Although the development of communication technologies (e.g: UMTS ADSL) allowed the elaboration of multiple users' web applications (e.g. information storage) there are still many improvements on many applications to be done and uncovered areas. Expense management systems on web application area are still in their infancy. Expense management software is widely spread in companies and most of time supported by their intranet. These solutions are quite simple as they mainly collect the information related to the expenses and may propose a simple aggregation of these figures. The result is close to what an excel sheet provides.

Audience Tracking and Cheering Content Control in Sports Events
(IEEE, 2020) Arsan, Taner; Dursun, Sefa; Kumas, Osman; Çakir, Nagehan; Arsan, Taner
Swearing cheers encountered in sports competitions do not comply with sports ethics and morals. Even if this kind of cheering is a group, the entire tribune block is penalized in accordance with the current rules. This method is not preventive and individual punishment should be used. The aim of this study is to determine the individuals who cheer with swearing content. In this study, the person detection is made with the multi-task cascaded convolutional neural network. Moreover, facial landmarks representing the facial regions and the regions related to them are determined as a result of this process. The mouth region is also determined by means of these important points removed, and finally the mouth is determined according to the equation. The face recognition is carried out because the person would be in a state of yelling if the mouth opening ratio exceeds the threshold value by determining the rate of opening. Landmarks extracted from the facial regions for the face recognition are transformed into feature vectors by FaceNet, and the model is created by classifying these vectors with classifiers to use in recognition process. When evaluated in terms of industry, face recognition and detection systems find a wide field of study.

A Clustering-Based Approach for Improving the Accuracy of UWB Sensor-Based Indoor Positioning System
(Hindawi LTD, 2019) Arsan, Taner; Hameez, Mohammed Muwafaq Noori
There are several methods which can be used to locate an object or people in an indoor location. Ultra-wideband (UWB) is a specifically promising indoor positioning technology because of its high accuracy, resistance to interference, and better penetration. This study aims to improve the accuracy of the UWB sensor-based indoor positioning system. To achieve that, the proposed system is trained by using the K-means algorithm with an additional average silhouette method. This helps us to define the optimal number of clusters to be used by the K-means algorithm based on the value of the silhouette coefficient. Fuzzy c-means and mean shift algorithms are added for comparison purposes. This paper also introduces the impact of the Kalman filter while using the measured UWB test points as an input for the Kalman filter in order to obtain a better estimation of the position. As a result, the average localization error is reduced by 43.26% (from 16.3442 cm to 9.2745 cm) when combining the K-means algorithm with the Kalman filter in which the Kalman-filtered UWB-measured test points are used as an input for the proposed system.

Early Steps in Automated Behavior Mapping via Indoor Sensors
(MDPI, 2017) Arsan, Taner; Kepez, Orçun
Behavior mapping (BM) is a spatial data collection technique in which the locational and behavioral information of a user is noted on a plan layout of the studied environment. Among many indoor positioning technologies we chose Wi-Fi BLE beacon and ultra-wide band (UWB) sensor technologies for their popularity and investigated their applicability in BM. We tested three technologies for error ranges and found an average error of 1.39 m for Wi-Fi in a 36 m(2) test area (6m x 6 m) 0.86 m for the BLE beacon in a 37.44 m(2) test area (9.6 m x 3.9 m) and 0.24 m for ultra-wide band sensors in a 36 m(2) test area (6 m x 6 m). We simulated the applicability of these error ranges for real-time locations by using a behavioral dataset collected from an active learning classroom. We used two UWB tags simultaneously by incorporating a custom-designed ceiling system in a new 39.76 m(2) test area (7.35 m x 5.41 m). We considered 26 observation points and collected data for 180 s for each point (total 4680) with an average error of 0.2072 m for 23 points inside the test area. Finally we demonstrated the use of ultra-wide band sensor technology for BM.

Fast multi-view face trackingwith pose estimation
(2008) Arsan, Taner; Arsan, Taner; Mota, Javier Cruz; Thiran, Jean-Philippe Philippe H.
In this paper a fast and an effective multi-view face tracking algorithm with head pose estimation is introduced. For modeling the face pose we employ a tree of boosted classifiers built using either Haar-like filters or Gauss filters. A first classifier extracts faces of any pose from the background. Then more specific classifiers discriminate between different poses. The tree of classifiers is trained by hierarchically sub-sampling the pose space. Finally Condensation algorithm is used for tracking the faces. Experiments show large improvements in terms of detection rate and processing speed compared to state-of-the-art algorithms.

Power Control and Resource Allocation in TDD-OFDM Based Femtocell Networks with Interference
(IEEE, 2017) Arsan, Taner; Arsan, Taner; Panayırcı, Erdal
Femtocell technology is a promising solution for different dilemmas in cellular networks. In femtocell power control the interference experienced by the network is divided into two main tiers according to the type of network whose signal is interfering with another network. In utilizing the functionality of a two-tier network where femtocell technology is deployed a major challenge is in sharing the frequency resource of a macrocell. This paper proposes an enhanced dynamic algorithm bounded by two constraints to optimize the transmission powers of femtocell users in TDD-OFDM based femtocell networks taking into consideration rate enhancement of femtocell mobile stations. We compare our algorithm with the macrocell guard system which allows femtocells to occupy only the subchannels unoccupied by the macrocell.

Received signal strength based least squares lateration algorithm for indoor localization
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2018) Arsan, Taner; Dağ, Tamer
Following the success of accurate location estimation for outdoor environments locating targets in indoor environments has become an important research area. Accurate location estimation of targets for indoor environments has the potential for the development of many different applications such as public safety social networking information and mapping services. However the GPS (Global Positioning System) technology used for outdoor environments is not applicable to indoor environments making accurate location estimation a challenging issue for indoor environments. In this paper we propose a received signal strength based least squares lateration algorithm which uses the existing infrastructure. By employing redundancy in the number of access points and applying least squares approximations to the received signal strength values the lateration algorithm increases the accuracy of location estimations. The usage of the existing infrastructure makes the proposed algorithm low cost when compared to other positioning algorithms which need very precise high cost components. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd.
