Normalization is utilized to remove outliers from the dataset and address network bias. In this research, MeanVariance-Softmax-Rescale (MVSR) and Min-Max normalizations are employed in various combinations for the diagnosis of COVID-19 using a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)-based Deep Learning (DL) model, aimed at enhancing network accuracy. To accomplish this, the CNN model is developed within the Google Colab environment and trained using a publicly available dataset consisting of chest X-ray images related to COVID-19. The dataset is normalized using different combinations of the MVSR and Min-Max normalization algorithms to compare model accuracy. Each normalized dataset is used for model training, and subsequently, each trained model has been saved as a .h5 file and loaded into the Kria KV260 Vision AI Starter Kit FPGA for the testing phase. The most accurate results are obtained when MVSR and Min-Max normalizations are applied simultaneously. This highperforming scenario is re-evaluated with COVID-19 and normal X-ray images on FPGA configuration. Experimentally, the highest accuracy is achieved in realtime with the MVSR+Min-Max scenario, reaching 93%. The model's precision, recall, and F1-Score values are determined as 0.91, 0.96, and 0.93, respectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Advanced camera systems integrated in to unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) enable the acquisition of highresolution images. These images are often more advantageous in terms of spatial, temporal, radiometric, and spectral resolution compared to satellite images. However, depending on the size of the scanned areas, the acquired data becomes large and occupies significant storage space. Therefore, processing the data to obtain meaningful information and insights becomes challenging. Various methods have been developed to extract meaningful data from images. While operators used to analyze images one by one in the past, today, objectbased and pixel-based data extractions have been developed. Thanks to these methods, data can be parsed by software rapidly and with high accuracy. Segmentation and classification methods facilitate processes such as categorization, sub-classification, parsing, and detection. Segmentation and classification processes on data are of crucial importance for the analysis of large and complex datasets. Numerous studies demonstrate that these techniques and applications are continuously evolving and gaining prominence in the literature. Within the scope of this study, segmentation and classification efforts conducted with UAVs have been discussed, and the outcomes of these studies have been examined. It is observed that studies utilizing hybrid and deep learning-based techniques tend to yield more efficient results compared to other approaches. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Cracks in buildings are a source of concern as they may indicate structural problems. Cracks in buildings are one of the major problems with concrete structures, as they affect the appearance of the building, compromise the integrity of the masonry, jeopardize building safety, and reduce the durability of the structure. Cracks in buildings can be a cause for concern and may indicate a potential structural problem that could jeopardize the safety and stability of the building. Understanding the root causes of these cracks is crucial to determining appropriate preventive measures and repair methods. In this study, crack and slope control in buildings was performed with an image processing-based measurement system developed using CNN deep learning algorithms. A dataset of 294 photographs was used for the study. The data were subjected to image processing, preprocessing, and detection with CNN. The accuracy rate is 0.9716 for the VGG-16 architecture and 0.9513 for the Inception-V3 architecture. It was concluded that there is no significant difference between the accuracy rates of the architectures. All vertical and horizontal cracks with a thickness of 2 mm and a continuity of 4 cm were detected. Thus, crack control in buildings can be done quickly and reliably, and building safety will be ensured. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The ultimate goal is to implement a real-time system to accurately detect and report differences in highway lines by combining the UAV with the computer system on the ground. This will ensure timely notification to authorities and help prevent traffic safety problems related to line deformations. This approach demonstrates the practical applications of artificial intelligence in improving road safety and autonomous vehicle navigation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

One of the most important technological developments in the field of medicine is Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance imaging techniques. This technique allows the size and shape of tumor areas in body tissues to be determined, making it easier for specialists to determine the type of tumor as well as whether it is benign or malignant. Various deep learning-based computer software have been developed to accurately detect tumor areas in tissue. Due to the lack of image data used in deep learning studies, a limitation naturally arises in studies in this field. In order to eliminate the lack of image data in these studies, image augmentation can be performed using deep learning methods as well as data augmentation methods using various image processing techniques. In this study, Generative Adversarial Networks, a deep learning technique, were employed to duplicate brain MR images and generate synthetic images. After the resulting MR images were made usable by undergoing various pre-processing, similarity rates to real images were calculated using metrics such as Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio, Structural similarity index and Mean Square Error, and by looking at these rates, realistic images were added to the data set and the data set was expanded.

Hand-crafted features are efficient methods for image processing, recognition, and computer vision. However, the advancements in data size and image resolution lead to inconvenience in feature extraction. Moreover, they are unstable, method-dependent, and computationally intensive due to high dimensions. Especially, big data on image datasets causes unpredictable long process. It is a definite necessity to adjust the feature extraction algorithms to computer-assisted methods for image processing. Generative representational learning algorithms have been emerging approaches with the advantages of Deep Learning.

The skin, in which our body is completely covered, both provides the heat balance of our body and protects our body against external factors. Skin cancer, which occur as a result of the uncontrolled proliferation of cells on the skin surface, are one of the most common types of cancer in the world. Early detection of skin cancer means early treatment of the disease. With early diagnosis, patients can be cured earlier and mortality rates can be reduced. The hardest part of skin cancer diagnosis is that skin lesions are very similar to each other. Therefore, it is of great importance that skin cancer can be diagnosed and classified as benign or malignant tumor. In this study, Convolutional Neural Network were used to determine whether skin cancer is benign or malignant. Separate results are obtained with Alexnet, Resnet50, Densenet201 and Googlenet. Then the performance rates of the models used have been compared. The highest accuracy rate was achieved with the Resnet50 model with 83.49%. Then, the results were obtained with the proposed hybrid model. In the proposed hybrid model, the accuracy rate was 84.11%. This rate is an important value for early diagnosis and treatment of the disease. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
