As the measurement environment, Inozu Valley, Ankara, Turkey, is selected where the dense rocky hills exist alongside the valley. Large-scale statistics, i.e. path loss, path loss exponents, and small-scale statistics, i.e. delay statistics, coherence bandwidth of the channel are obtained for both measurement cases. Wireless InSite electromagnetic propagation simulation software, which is a widely used product of RemCom Inc, is used to ray-tracing based channel modeling. The result for each cases show that the Wireless InSite channel modeling software produces close results to the empirical results with slight differences. The obtained channel statistics are used during the design of a military communication system which is operated at the VHF band over a dense hilly environment.","PeriodicalId":326275,"journal":{"name":"2019 27th Signal Processing and Communications Applications Conference (SIU)","volume":"365 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123503674","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In most sequential regression studies, one considers data sequence is complete, i.e., does not contain any missing data. However, the missing data problem appears in a large number of areas such as finance and medical imaging. The remedies to resolve this problem depends on certain statistical assumptions and imputation techniques. However, the statistical assumptions does not hold in real life and the imputation of artificially generated inputs results in sub-optimal solutions. In our experiments, we achieve significant performance gains with respect to the classical algorithms.","PeriodicalId":326275,"journal":{"name":"2019 27th Signal Processing and Communications Applications Conference (SIU)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123704251","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Real-time processing of the computer vision applications on unmanned aerial vehicles has become possible with the integration of such single board computers within UAVs. In this study, a hybrid method is developed to detect and track UAVs by another UAV. A deep learning based approach which is one of the fastest and most accurate method in the literature, YOLOv3 and YOLOv3-Tiny (You Only Look Once), are utilized to detect the UAV at the beginning of the video and when tracking of the UAV is failed. Kernelized Correlation Filter (KCF) is used for real time tracking purpose of the detected UAVs. A dataset is created that consists different UAVs to train and test YOLOv3.

Particularly, we use 3 Dimensional Convolutional Neural Network model, C3D, for verb stream to model video-based features, and we use object detection model, YOLO, for noun stream to model objects interacting with human.
