Yilmazer, Merve; Karakose, Mehmet
Rapid advances in the field of artificial intelligence have made significant contributions to the automation of software development and testing stages. Software created for use in various fields is tested with test scenarios created manually by software test experts or using test automation. Testing large-scale software with these methods complicates the testing phases because it requires increased human intervention and includes complex applications. In this study, an LLM-based scenario generation framework enhanced with prompt engineering is proposed for testing software to be used for video analysis in smart cities and smart campus areas. Thus, software test scenarios are created by strengthening large language models that are fast, flexible and have high learning ability using prompt engineering techniques. Test scenarios produced through LLM reinforced with prompt engineering techniques were evaluated with rarity and reality metrics and it was determined that more robust scenarios were produced compared to randomly generated test scenarios in the relevant field.

Yilmazer, Merve; Karakose, Mehmet
Video cameras are one of the important elements in ensuring security in public areas. Videos inspected by expert personnel using traditional methods may have a high error rate and take a long time to complete. In this study, a new deep learning-based method is proposed for the detection of abandoned objects, such as bags, suitcases, and suitcases left unsupervised in public areas. Transfer learning-based keyframe detection was first performed to remove unnecessary and repetitive frames from the ABODA dataset. Then, human and object classes were detected using the weights of the YOLOv8l model, which has a fast and effective object detection feature. Abandoned object detection is achieved by tracking classes in consecutive frames with the DeepSORT algorithm and measuring the distance between them. In addition, the location information of the human and object classes in the frames was analyzed by a large language model supported by prompt engineering. Thus, an explanation output regarding the location, size, and estimation rate of the object and human classes was created for the authorities. It is observed that the proposed model produces promising results comparable to the state-of-the-art methods for suspicious object detection from videos with success metrics of 97.9% precision, 97.0% recall, and 97.4% f1-score.

Yilmazer, Merve; Karakose, Mehmet; Ay, Berhan Turku
Security and monitoring systems are provided through video cameras in public places such as universities, hospitals, cinemas and theater halls. In smart campuses created by the integration of various sensors and digital technologies, there are many video cameras indoors and outdoors in the campus areas to ensure the safety of students, academics, administrators and visitors. Examining the images recorded with these video cameras in terms of security and detecting abnormal behaviours requires a long time and effort. In this study, a new hybrid convolutional neural network (CNN) model is proposed to detect abnormal behaviors occurring in smart campus areas. In the proposed method, firstly, the features of the UTI public dataset, which includes various student behaviors, are extracted with the hybrid use of InceptionV3 and MobileNetV2 deep transfer learning models. The extracted features of the images were combined and classified by converting them into a single feature vector. 6 different behavior classes, 3 of which are normal and 3 of which are abnormal, have been classified and detected with 92.7 % accuracy. Experimental results show that the proposed method for abnormal behavior detection produces more efficient results than other methods in terms of feature extraction, accuracy and computational costs.

Cultural structures may be damaged and damaged over time due to external factors such as natural and social disasters, which may lead to the loss of national assets if cultural assets are not protected. Therefore, the protection of cultural heritage is of great importance not only for today's generations but also for future. In recent years, deep learning and image processing have made great progress and have become very effective for detecting and analyzing patterns. These techniques can also be used to solve complex problems such as damage detection of structures in the field of cultural heritage. Deep learning methods can be used to determine the current status of structures and detect possible damage by working on images obtained from different angles of structures, while also reducing human errors. In this study, as an important step for the protection of cultural heritage, a detection method was developed using deep learning models on damaged and intact cultural heritage building images. The data set used in the study consists of damaged and intact cultural heritage building images. An attempt was made to determine the model that gave the best results by using pre-trained models with the Transfer Learning method. Heat maps were created using the Grad-CAM method to identify damaged areas on the trained models, thus making it possible to more clearly identify the damaged areas in the image. This method can play an important role in preserving cultural heritage. It can be used to detect damaged areas and direct them to repair.

Yilmazer, Merve; Karakose, Mehmet; Tanberk, Senem; Arslan, Samed
With urbanization and population growth, automobile use has also increased. As a result of this, there is a need to expand parking management and inspection systems to ensure safe and efficient use of parking areas. A new deep learning-based method has been proposed as an alternative to traditional systems to control free spaces in parking areas monitored by CCTV security cameras. A large amount of video data needs to be processed for parking areas recorded with video cameras 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Repeating frames in videos cause overlearning in deep learning models. It also increases memory and computation cost. For this reason, keyframe detection based on sampling was first performed on the sample video of the Dragon Lake Parking (DLP) dataset and a summary of the dataset was obtained. Then, empty parking areas were detected by YOLOv6 deep neural network. It has been observed that the model can detect empty parking areas at a rate of 96.6% mAP.

Yilmazer, Merve; Karakose, Mehmet
The railways, which are frequently used by countries for both passenger and freight transportation, should be checked periodically. Controls made with classical methods are slow and there are often overlooked faults. This work suggests a novel deep learning-based technique for identifying fastener and railway track surface defects. Within the scope of the proposed method, firstly, the railroad track was observed using an autonomous drone. Shaky images in the recorded video were removed with a video stabilization algorithm. Frames were created and labeled from the video, and rail and fastener regions were detected using the Faster R-CNN deep neural network. Fault detection was performed through ResNet101v2-based classification using different datasets for identifying surface detects in rails and different datasets for the detection of fasteners. The proposed method was experimentally shown to have a 98% accuracy rate for detecting rail surface flaws and a 95% accuracy rate for detecting fastener flaws. A user interface was developed to display the identified faulty images on computers, tablets, and mobile phones via a mobile application. The system, which was previously proposed in a different study, was retrained by going through the video stabilization step, thus improving the fault detection rate, and the method was also included in the user interface module. This study contributes to the processing of ever-increasing video data with deep learning-based methods. It is also anticipated that it will benefit researchers working in the field of railway non-contact fault detection.

Yilmazer, Merve; Karakose, Mehmet
For safe transportation on the railway, the faults occurring in its components must be detected and repaired. Recently, fault detection methods have been developed on railway visual data using methods such as image processing, machine learning and deep learning. Especially since deep learning-based algorithms have a self-learning structure, the data used in model training and testing significantly affect the performance of the model. In the proposed method within the scope of this study, railway visual data were obtained using autonomous drone. YOLOv5 deep neural network is trained to detect faults that may occur in various components such as rail, fastener, sleeper and ballast in the railway. In order to increase the efficiency of the model, images obtained under different lighting conditions were included in the data set. In addition, by using the OpenCV library, the video stabilization process and the vibrations that occur during data acquisition in the video are eliminated. Thus, with the proposed method, it has been shown that the errors due to many components in the railway can be detected with a mAP rate of 94.5%.
