Conference Object Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 8Facial Landmark Localization in Depth Images Using Supervised Descent Method(2015) Gökberk, Berk; Akarun, Lale; Camgoz, Necati CihanThis paper proposes using the state of the art 2D facial landmark localization method, Supervised Descent Method (SDM), for facial landmark localization in 3D depth images. The proposed method was evaluated on frontal faces with no occlusion from the Bosphorus 3D Face Database. In the experiments, in which 2D features were used to train SDM, the proposed approach achieved state-of-the-art performance for several landmarks over the currently available 3D facial landmark localization methods.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 5Private Minutia-Based Fingerprint Matching(2015) Sarıer, Neyire DenizIn this paper, we propose an efficient biometric authentication protocol for fingerprints particularly suited for the minutia-based representation. The novelty of the protocol is that we integrate the most efficient (linear complexity) private set intersection cardinality protocol of Cristofaro et al. and a suitable helper data system for biometrics in order to improve the accuracy of the system. We analyze the security of our scheme in the standard model based on well-exploited assumptions, considering malicious parties, which is essential to eliminate specific attacks on biometric authentication schemes designed for semi-honest adversaries only. Finally, the complexity is compared to the existing provably secure schemes for fingerprint matching, which shows that the new proposal outperforms them both in semi-honest and malicious security models.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Security Analysis of Revocable and Bipartite Biotokens(2015) Sarıer, Neyire DenizIn this paper, we analyze the security of bipartite biotokens that release a secret key hidden in the biotoken by using biometrics. We show that the biotoken encoding of 80/112/128-bit symmetric encryption keys are vulnerable to brute force attacks, whose complexity is lower than cryptographic security. Also, we present the weaknesses in the design of revocable biotokens that form the basis for bipartite biotokens. Finally, we propose countermeasures to prevent these attacks and discuss the employment of other efficient cryptographic techniques that possess provable security guarantees.Conference Object Corner Detection by Local Zernike Moments(2015) Ozbulak, Gokhan; Gökmen, MuhittinIn this paper, our corner-based interest point detector, Robust Local Zernike Moment based Features (R-LZMF), which was proved to be scale, rotation and translation-invariant, is investigated for invariance against affine transformation, lighting and blurring. Furthermore, R-LZMF's corner detection capability with Zernike moments of order 4 is theoretically explained in detail. Experimental results on the Inria Dataset show that R-LZMF outperforms SIFT, CenSurE, ORB, BRISK and competes with SURF in terms of repeatability for images under affine transformation and photometric deformation such as lighting and blurring.Conference Object Yüz Tanıma(Elektrik Mühendisleri Odası EMO), 2015) Muhittin, GökmenGörüntü işleme alanında çalışan 36 farklı üniversiteden 52 doktora ve yüksek lisans öğrencisinin katılımı ile başlayan akademik kampta, alanında uzmanlıkları ile tanınan 11 farklı üniversiteden 14 akademisyenin katılımıyla 17 farklı seminer ve ders gerçekleştirildi. 2.

Recent studies which used SDM, achieved state of the-art performance on facial landmark localization in depth images [4]. In this study, we propose to use ridge regression instead of least squares regression for learning the SDM, and to change feature sizes in each iteration, effectively turning the landmark search into a coarse to fine process. We apply the proposed method to facial landmark localization on the Bosphorus 3D Face Database; using frontal depth images with no occlusion. Experimental results confirm that both ridge regression and using adaptive feature sizes improve the localization accuracy considerably.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Implementation of Multi-Threaded Erasure Coding Under Multi-Processing Environments(2016) Arslan, Şuayb ŞefikGalois alan aritmetiği depolama ve iletişim cihazlarını veri kayıplarına karşı korumak için Reed-Solomon silme kodlarının temelini oluşturmaktadır. Galois alan aritmeti^ginin en güncel uygulamaları hızlı Galois alan hesaplamaları yapmamıza imkan sağlayan Intel’in SIMD eklerinde olduğu gibi 128-bitlik işlemci vektör talimatlarına dayanmaktadır. Buna rağmen, bu uygulamalar çoklu–dizin ve çoklu–süreçli ortamlara göre optimize edilmemiştir. Diğer taraftan, sunucuların çoklu istekleri eş zamanlı olarak yerine getirmesi ve donanımın sağladığı tüm paralelliği kodlama yükünü etkili yürütmek için kullanması arzu edilmektedir. Bu makale silme kodlarının çoklu-dizin işlemcilerle çoklu–süreçli ortamlarda nasıl kullanılaca^gının detaylarını sunmakta ve tek dizinli uygulamalara göre emtia mikro işlemciler ve Jerasure 2.0 yazılım kütüphanesini kullanarak önemli ölçüde performans artışının olabileceğini göstermektedir.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Face Recognition With Local Zernike Moments Features Around Landmarks(IEEE, 2016) Gökmen, MuhittinIn this paper, a new method that extracts the features from the complex Local Zernike Moments (LZM) images around facial landmarks is proposed. In this method, multiple grids which are in different sizes are located on landmarks and Phase-Magnitude (PM) histograms are calculated in each cells of these grids. The PM histograms are calculated for every component of LZM and the feature vectors are created by concatenating these histograms. By reducing the dimensionality of these vectors using Whitened Principle Component Analysis, more robust descriptors are constructed. It is shown that the state-of-the-art results are obtained in the experiments performed on FERET database using the proposed method. © 2016 IEEE.Article Detecting the Effect of Voice-Over in Tv Ads Via Optic Brain Imaging (fnirs) and In-Depth Interview Methods(2016) Çakar, Tuna; Girisken, YenerVoice-overs are used extensively to increase the effectiveness of the TV ads especially in the last decade. The main purpose is to provide the brand message via a clear feature that will inevitably grab the attention of the viewers. The current study contains the neuro tests of 12 TV ads in banking and finance sectors on 168 participants in 8 groups. Optic brain imaging (fNIRS) and in-depth interviews were the methodologies utilized during the test of these TV ads. The obtained results indicate that the use of voice-over during the TV ads possibly causes the decrease in attention and emotional engagement levels of the participants.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 4Openmp and Posix Threads Implementation of Jerasure 2.0(2017) Arslan, Şuayb Şefik; Le, Hoa; Landman, Joseph; Goker, TurguyIn shared memory multiprocessor architectures, threads can be used to implement parallelism. POSIX threads (pthreads) is a low-level bare-bones programming interface for working with threads. Therefore, we have extremely fine-grained control over thread management (create/join/etc), mutexes, and so on. On the other hand, openMP, as a shared-memory standard, is much higher level and portable interface which makes it easier to use multi-threading capability and obtain satisfactory performance improvements. Since pthreads is more flexible, it helps programmers gain more control on performance optimizations. Jerasure 2.0 erasure coding library has encoding/decoding engines which comprise independent "for" loop iterations and hence possess huge potential for multi-threaded processing. In this short paper, we investigate multi-threaded implementations of encoder/decoder pair of Jerasure 2.0 using two different technologies: OpenMP and pthreads. We constrain our changes to a minimum possible and compare the pure encoding/decoding performance with respect to each other as well as against that of the original single-threaded version by running them on two different server systems.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 5Mojette Transform Based Ldpc Erasure Correction Codes for Distributed Storage Systems(2017) Arslan, Şuayb Şefik; Normand, Nicolas; Parrein, BenoitMojette Transform (MT) based erasure correction coding possesses extremely efficient encoding/decoding algorithms and demonstrate promising burst erasure recovery performance. MT codes are based on discrete geometry and provide redundancy through creating projections. Projections are made of smaller data structures called bins and are generated from a two dimensional convex-shaped data. For exact data recovery, only a subset of projections are needed by the decoder. We realize that the discrete geometry definition of MT erasure codes corresponds to creating structured/deterministic generator matrices. In this study, we show an alternative Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) code construction methodology through investigating parity check matrices of MT codes which shows sparseness as the blocklength of the code gets large. In a distributed storage setting, we also quantify the repair bandwidth and show that this novel interpretation can be used to facilitate bin-level local repairs.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 7The Use of Neurometric and Biometric Research Methods in Understanding the User Experience During Product Search of First-Time Buyers in E-Commerce - Conference Paper(Springer, 2017) Rızvanoğlu, Kerem; Gürvardar, İrfan; Çakar, Tuna; Öztürk, Özgürol; Zengin Çelik, DenizUnderstanding user experience (UX) during e-commerce has been a relatively important research area especially in the last decade. The use of conventional methods in UX such as task-observation, in-depth interviews and questionnaires has already contributed for the measurement of the efficiency and effectiveness. This empirical study has aimed to make use of both conventional and neuroscientific methods simultaneously to provide a richer analysis framework for understanding the product search experience of the first-time buyers. The current work provides insights for the results from the combined use of conventional and neuroscientific-biometric methods in a UX study. Although this has been an exploratory study within a limited literature, the obtained results indicate a potential use of these methods for UX research, which may contribute to improve the relevant experience in various digital platforms.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Facial Expression Recognition From Still Images(2017) Gökmen, Muhittin; Gazioglu, Bilge Suheyla AkkocaWith the development of technology, Facial Expression Recognition (FER) become one of the important research areas in Human Computer Interaction. Changes in the movement of some muscles in face create the facial expressions. By defining these changes, facial expressions can be recognized. In this study, a cascaded structure consists of Local Zernike Moments (LZM), Local XOR Patterns (LXP) and Global Zernike Moments (GZM) methods is proposed for the FER problem. The generally used database is the Extended Chon - Kanade (CK +) in FER problems. The database consists of image sequences of 327 expressions of 118 people. Most FER system includes recognition of 7 classes of emotions happiness, sadness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear and contempt, and we use Library of Support Vector Machines (LIBSVM) classifier for multi class classification with the leave one out cross-validation method. Our overall system performance is measured as 90.34% for FER.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3A Joint Dedupe-Fountain Coded Archival Storage(2017) Arslan, Şuayb Şefik; Göker, Turguy; Wideman, RodAn erasure-coded archival file storage system is presented using a chunk-based deduplication mechanism and fountain codes for space/time efficient operation. Unlike traditional archival storage, this proposal considers the deduplication operation together with correction coding in order to provide a reliable storage solution. The building blocks of deduplication and fountain coding processes are judiciously interleaved to present two novel ideas, reducing memory footprint with weaker hashing and dealing with the increased collisions using correction coding, and applying unequal error protection to deduplicated chunks for increased availability. The combination of these two novel ideas made the performance of the proposed system stand out. For example, it is shown to outperform one of the replication-based as well as RAID data protection schemes. The proposed system also addresses some of the fundamental challenges of today's low-cost deduplicated data storage systems such as hash collisions, disk bottleneck and RAM overflow problems, securing savings up to 90% regular RAM use.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 542Citation - Scopus: 656Human Semantic Parsing for Person Re-Identification(2018) Kalayeh, Mahdi M; Başaran, Emrah; Shah, Mubarak; Kamasak, Mustafa E; Gökmen, MuhittinPerson re-identification is a challenging task mainly dueto factors such as background clutter, pose, illuminationand camera point of view variations. These elements hinder the process of extracting robust and discriminative representations, hence preventing different identities from being successfully distinguished. To improve the representation learning, usually local features from human body partsare extracted. However, the common practice for such aprocess has been based on bounding box part detection.In this paper, we propose to adopt human semantic parsing which, due to its pixel-level accuracy and capabilityof modeling arbitrary contours, is naturally a better alternative. Our proposed SPReID integrates human semanticparsing in person re-identification and not only considerably outperforms its counter baseline, but achieves stateof-the-art performance. We also show that, by employinga simple yet effective training strategy, standard populardeep convolutional architectures such as Inception-V3 andResNet-152, with no modification, while operating solelyon full image, can dramatically outperform current stateof-the-art. Our proposed methods improve state-of-the-artperson re-identification on: Market-1501 [48] by ~17% inmAP and ~6% in rank-1, CUHK03 [24] by ~4% in rank-1and DukeMTMC-reID [50] by ~24% in mAP and ~10% inrank-1.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 7A Reliability Model for Dependent and Distributed Mds Disk Array Units(IEEE Transactions on Reliability, 2018) Arslan, Şuayb ŞefikArchiving and systematic backup of large digital data generates a quick demand for multi-petabyte scale storage systems. As drive capacities continue to grow beyond the few terabytes range to address the demands of today’s cloud, the likelihood of having multiple/simultaneous disk failures became a reality. Among the main factors causing catastrophic system failures, correlated disk failures and the network bandwidth are reported to be the two common source of performance degradation. The emerging trend is to use efficient/sophisticated erasure codes (EC) equipped with multiple parities and efficient repairs in order to meet the reliability/bandwidth requirements. It is known that mean time to failure and repair rates reported by the disk manufacturers cannot capture life-cycle patterns of distributed storage systems. In this study, we develop failure models based on generalized Markov chains that can accurately capture correlated performance degradations with multiparity protection schemes based on modern maximum distance separable EC. Furthermore, we use the proposed model in a distributed storage scenario to quantify two example use cases: Primarily, the common sense that adding more parity disks are only meaningful if we have a decent decorrelation between the failure domains of storage systems and the reliability of generic multiple single-dimensional EC protected storage systems.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 2A Visualization Platfom for Disk Failure Analysis(IEEE, 2018) Arslan, Şuayb Şefik; Yiğit, İbrahim Onuralp; Zeydan, EnginIt has become a norm rather than an exception to observe multiple disks malfunctioning or whole disk failures in places like big data centers where thousands of drives operate simultaneously. Data that resides on these devices is typically protected by replication or erasure coding for long-term durable storage. However, to be able to optimize data protection methods, real life disk failure trends need to be modeled. Modelling helps us build insights while in the design phase and properly optimize protection methods for a given application. In this study, we developed a visualization platform in light of disk failure data provided by BackBlaze, and extracted useful statistical information such as failure rate and model-based time to failure distributions. Finally, simple modeling is performed for disk failure predictions to alarm and take necessary system-wide precautions.Article Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 16Face Recognition With Patch-Based Local Walsh Transform(Elsevier, 2018) Uzun-Per, Meryem; Gökmen, MuhittinIn this paper, we present a novel dense local image representation method called Local Walsh Transform (LWT)by applying the well-known Walsh Transform (WT) to each pixel of an image. The LWT decomposes an image into multiple components, and produces LWT complex images by using the symmetrical relationship between them. Cascaded LWT (CLWT) is also a dense local image representation obtained by applying the LWT again to real and imaginary parts of LWT complex images. Applying the LWT once more to real and imaginary parts of LWT complex images increases the success rate especially on low resolution images. In order to combine the advantages of sparse and dense local image representations, we present Patch-based LWT (PLWT) and Patch-based CLWT (PCLWT) by applying the LWT and CLWT, respectively, to patches extracted around landmarks of multi-scaled face images. The extracted high dimensional features of the patches are reduced through the application of the Whitened Principal Component Analysis (WPCA). Experimental results show that both thePLWT and PCLWT are robust to illumination and expression changes, occlusion and low resolution. The state-of-the-art performance is achieved on the FERET and SCface databases, and the second best unsupervised category result is achieved on the LFW database.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 14Citation - Scopus: 40An Overview of Blockchain Technologies: Principles, Opportunities and Challenges(IEEE, 2018) Arslan, Şuayb Şefik; Mermer, Gültekin Berahan; Zeydan, EnginBlokzincir, toplumumuzun birbiriyle iletişim kurma ve ticaret yapma biçiminde devrim yapma potansiyeline sahip, yakın zamanda ortaya çıkmış olan bir teknolojidir.

In this scheme, local patches around the landmarks are extracted from the complex components obtained by LZM transformation. Then, phase magnitude histograms are constructed within these patches to create descriptors for face images. An image pyramid is utilized to extract features at multiple scales, and the descriptors are constructed for each image in this pyramid. We used three different public datasets to examine the performance of the proposed method:Face Recognition Technology (FERET), Labeled Faces in the Wild (LFW), and Surveillance Cameras Face (SCface). The results revealed that the proposed method is robust against variations such as illumination, facial expression, and pose. Aside from this, it can be used for low-resolution face images acquired in uncontrolled environments or in the infrared spectrum. Experimental results show that our method outperforms state-of-the-art methods on FERET and SCface datasets.
