Item Open Access Classification of regional ionospheric disturbance based on machine learning techniques(European Space Agency, 2016) Terzi, Merve Begüm; Arıkan, Orhan; Karatay, S.; Arıkan, F.; Gulyaeva, T.In this study, Total Electron Content (TEC) estimated from GPS receivers is used to model the regional and local variability that differs from global activity along with solar and geomagnetic indices. For the automated classification of regional disturbances, a classification technique based on a robust machine learning technique that have found wide spread use, Support Vector Machine (SVM) is proposed. Performance of developed classification technique is demonstrated for midlatitude ionosphere over Anatolia using TEC estimates generated from GPS data provided by Turkish National Permanent GPS Network (TNPGN-Active) for solar maximum year of 2011. As a result of implementing developed classification technique to Global Ionospheric Map (GIM) TEC data, which is provided by the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), it is shown that SVM can be a suitable learning method to detect anomalies in TEC variations.Item Open Access Human activity classification with miniature inertial and magnetic sensor signals(IEEE, 2011) Yüksek, Murat Cihan; Barshan, BillurThis study provides a comparative performance assessment of various pattern recognition techniques on classifying human activities that are performed while wearing miniature inertial and magnetic sensors. Activities are classified using five sensor units worn on the chest, the arms, and the legs. Each sensor unit comprises a tri-axial accelerometer, a tri-axial gyroscope, and a tri-axial magnetometer. The classification techniques compared in this study are: naïve Bayesian (NB), artificial neural networks (ANN), dissimilaritybased classifier (DBC), various decision-tree algorithms, Gaussian mixture model (GMM), and support vector machines (SVM). The methods that result in the highest correct differentiation rates are found to be GMM (99.1%), ANN (99.0%), and SVM (98.9%). © 2011 EURASIP.Item Open Access Human activity recognition using inertial/magnetic sensor units(Springer, Berlin, Heidelberg, 2010) Altun, Kerem; Barshan, BillurThis paper provides a comparative study on the different techniques of classifying human activities that are performed using body-worn miniature inertial and magnetic sensors. The classification techniques implemented and compared in this study are: Bayesian decision making (BDM), the least-squares method (LSM), the k-nearest neighbor algorithm (k-NN), dynamic time warping (DTW), support vector machines (SVM), and artificial neural networks (ANN). Daily and sports activities are classified using five sensor units worn by eight subjects on the chest, the arms, and the legs. Each sensor unit comprises a triaxial gyroscope, a triaxial accelerometer, and a triaxial magnetometer. Principal component analysis (PCA) and sequential forward feature selection (SFFS) methods are employed for feature reduction. For a small number of features, SFFS demonstrates better performance and should be preferable especially in real-time applications. The classifiers are validated using different cross-validation techniques. Among the different classifiers we have considered, BDM results in the highest correct classification rate with relatively small computational cost. © 2010 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.Item Open Access Human activity recognition using tag-based localization(IEEE, 2012-04) Yurtman, Aras; Barshan, BarshanThis paper provides a comparative study on the different techniques of classifying human activities using a tag-based radio-frequency (RF) localization system. Non-uniformly-sampled data containing position measurements of the tags on the body is first converted to a uniformly-sampled one using different curve-fitting algorithms. Then, the data is partitioned into segments. Finally, various classification techniques are applied to classify human activities. Curve-fitting, segmentation, and classification methods are compared using different cross-validation techniques and the combination resulting in the best performance is presented. The results indicate that the system demonstrates acceptable performance despite the fact that tag-based RF localization is not very accurate.Item Open Access Human activity recognition using tag-based radio frequency localization(Taylor and Francis Inc., 2016) Yurtman, A.; Barshan, B.This article provides a comparative study on the different techniques of classifying human activities using tag-based radio-frequency (RF) localization. A publicly available dataset is used where the position data of multiple RF tags worn on different parts of the human body are acquired asynchronously and nonuniformly. In this study, curves fitted to the data are resampled uniformly and then segmented. We investigate the effect on system accuracy of varying the relevant system parameters. We compare various curve-fitting, segmentation, and classification techniques and present the combination resulting in the best performance. The classifiers are validated using 5-fold and subject-based leave-one-out cross validation, and for the complete classification problem with 11 classes, the proposed system demonstrates an average classification error of 8.67% and 21.30%, respectively. When the number of classes is reduced to five by omitting the transition classes, these errors become 1.12% and 6.52%, respectively. The results indicate that the system demonstrates acceptable classification performance despite that tag-based RF localization does not provide very accurate position measurements.Item Open Access Minyatür eylemsizlik duyucuları ve manyetometre sinyallerinin işlenmesiyle insan aktivitelerinin sınıflandırılması(IEEE, 2011-04) Yüksek, Murat Cihan; Barshan, BillurBu çalışmada insan vücuduna yerleştirilen minyatür eylemsizlik duyucuları ve manyetometreler kullanılarak çeşitli aktiviteler örüntü tanıma yöntemleriyle ayırdedilmiş ve karşılaştırmalı bir çalışmanın sonuçları sunulmuştur. Ayırdetme işlemi için basit Bayeşçi (BB) yöntem, yapay sinir ağları (YSA), benzeşmezlik tabanlı sınıflandırıcı (BTS), ceşitli karar ağacı (KA) yöntemleri, Gauss karışım modeli (GKM) ve destek vektör makinaları (DVM) kullanılmıştır. Aktiviteler gövdeye, kollara ve bacaklara takılan beş duyucu ünitesinden gelen verilerin işlenmesiyle ayırdedilmiştir. Her ünite, her biri üç-eksenli olmak üzere birer ivmeölçer, dönüölçer ve manyetometre içermektedir. Çalışmanın sonuçlarına göre, en iyi ilk üç başarı oranı sırasıyla GKM (%99.12), YSA (%99.09) ve DVM (%98.90) yöntemleri ile elde edilmiştir.
