Decoding Nature's Patterns: An Innovative Approach to Tree Detection Using Deep Learning and High-Resolution Aerial Imagery
Yiğit, Abdurahman Yasin
This study investigates the application of deep learning algorithms and high-resolution aerial imagery for individual tree detection in urban areas, using a neighborhood in Mersin, Turkey, as a case study. Employing the DeepForest Python package, we utilize high-resolution (7cm) aerial imagery to detect and map the city's tree population accurately. The results showcase an impressive accuracy rate of 80.87%, demonstrating the potential of deep learning in urban forestry applications and contributing to effective urban planning. The information generated from this study is crucial for conserving urban green spaces, enhancing resilience to climate change, and supporting urban biodiversity. While this research is focused on Mersin, the methods employed are globally adaptable, laying a fo...
Detection of existing infrastructure lines with wearable laser scanners and making infrastructure map: a case of Mersin University
Ulvi, Ali | Yiğit, Abdurahman Yasin | Çelik, Mehmet Özgür | Alptekin, Aydın
Technological developments have shown themselves in the field of engineering as in every field. Wearable mobile laser scanner (WMLS) system is a technique based on simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) algorithm. This technique enables the creation of a map of an unknown environment bypassing with distance sensors while simultaneously determining the system located on the map. Due to the rapid progress in measurement technology, a heron WMLS has been used in the detection of underground lines. The point cloud of the roads was obtained with the laser scanner. Sewerage, water, and natural gas pipelines were determined through the point cloud. These determinations were checked with a Global Positioning System (GPS) device. As a result of this study, maps of the existing infrastructure ...
3D MODELLING OF KAYSERI TEKGOZ BRIDGE
Yiğit, Abdurahman Yasin | Ulvi, Ali
Thousands of years of civilization and history, both by the people, with the people as well as nature, created and today as the so-called Cultural Heritage works, conservation and documentation of the event is an important event for all humanity. Metric, written and visual documentation; The cultural heritage and the determination of the current situation and problems, can be used as basic data protection in all kinds of work for the solution of these problems. In addition, the promotion of the cultural heritage passed on to future generations and society in an important way. showing a rapid development in today's technological development of digital terrestrial photogrammetry method it is also frequently used in these studies. In this study, the Tekgöz Bridge is located 30km north-we...

Augmented Reality and Photogrammetry Based Anatomical Models in Medical Education
Yiğit, Abdurahman Yasin
The digitalization of education, especially in fields such as medicine and biology that emphasize visual and hands-on learning, offers more effective, accessible, and sustainable learning environments by overcoming the limitations of traditional methods. This study comprehensively examines the potential of photogrammetry and augmented reality (AR) technologies in digitizing anatomical models for use as educational materials. Within the scope of the study, four different models representing male upper body anatomy, torso anatomy, female full-body anatomy, and the musculoskeletal system were digitized using close-range photogrammetry and integrated into AR environments through Augment software. During the digitization process, high-accuracy 3D models were created with low-cost equipment, and...
Documenting historical monuments using smartphones: a case study of Fakih Dede Tomb, Konya
Yiğit, Abdurahman Yasin
Cultural heritage and historical monuments are the memories of societies and enable future generations to learn about the past. However, historical monuments from the past to the present have been subjected to many destructions, natural or unnatural. Thanks to advances in technology, it is easier to document historical monuments using digital photogrammetric methods. Today, we see the methods used in documenting historical artifacts as traditional measurement, laser scanning, and photogrammetric methods or combinations of them. In this study, historical artifacts were tried to be documented through close-up photogrammetry methods, which is a sub-working area of photogrammetry, through images taken with non-metric cameras of smartphones that we use frequently in our daily lives. Planned geo...
