    Design and Implementation of an Expressive Talking Mobile Robot: Toztorus
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018) Tozan,O.; Tora,H.; Uslu,B.; Una,B.; Ceylan,E.
    This paper is about a brand new robot and all its development stages from the design to the show time. As an undergraduate research project (the LAP program at Atilim University), the robot TozTorUs is the outcome of the dense efforts of a team. With the sensors equipped, it navigates autonomously in the environment in which it is located by avoiding the obstacles. It can understand your questions and answer them using Google's speech technologies. Although it is not a humanoid robot, with eyes and mouth simulator LED displays, it is as friendly as a human. We can also control TozTorUs using a mobile phone. Apart from these, it is able to adjust its height with respect to the visitor's, thus allowing it to make an eye contact with the person. Although TozTorUs is designed for welcoming, it may also be employed for consulting, security and elderly assistance. © 2018 IEEE.

    An Unrestricted Arnold's Cat Map Transformation
    (Springer, 2024) Turan, Mehmet; Goekcay, Erhan; Tora, Hakan
    The Arnold's Cat Map (ACM) is one of the chaotic transformations, which is utilized by numerous scrambling and encryption algorithms in Information Security. Traditionally, the ACM is used in image scrambling whereby repeated application of the ACM matrix, any image can be scrambled. The transformation obtained by the ACM matrix is periodic; therefore, the original image can be reconstructed using the scrambled image whenever the elements of the matrix, hence the key, is known. The transformation matrices in all the chaotic maps employing ACM has limitations on the choice of the free parameters which generally require the area-preserving property of the matrix used in transformation, that is, the determinant of the transformation matrix to be +/- 1.\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\pm 1.$$\end{document} This reduces the number of possible set of keys which leads to discovering the ACM matrix in encryption algorithms using the brute-force method. Additionally, the period obtained is small which also causes the faster discovery of the original image by repeated application of the matrix. These two parameters are important in a brute-force attack to find out the original image from a scrambled one. The objective of the present study is to increase the key space of the ACM matrix, hence increase the security of the scrambling process and make a brute-force attack more difficult. It is proved mathematically that area-preserving property of the traditional matrix is not required for the matrix to be used in scrambling process. Removing the restriction enlarges the maximum possible key space and, in many cases, increases the period as well. Additionally, it is supplied experimentally that, in scrambling images, the new ACM matrix is equivalent or better compared to the traditional one with longer periods. Consequently, the encryption techniques with ACM become more robust compared to the traditional ones. The new ACM matrix is compatible with all algorithms that utilized the original matrix. In this novel contribution, we proved that the traditional enforcement of the determinant of the ACM matrix to be one is redundant and can be removed.

    Recognition of Characters on Vehicle License Plates;
    (2010) Tora,H.; Bora,K.
    In this study, a simple and effective method is proposed for segmenting alphanumeric and numeric characters on vehicle license plates and recognizing the segmented characters.The proposed approach is basically based on template matching technique. Features used for matching are obtained by scanning the segmented characters from left-to-right, right-to-left, top-to-bottom, and bottom-to-top. The features extracted in this way reveals the fact that how a character is moving and changing along its four-side.The character recognition is accomplished by using this information of the character.Experiments done show that successful results are obtained. ©2010 IEEE.

    Segmentation of Isolated Words Into Voiced-Unvoiced Sound Components by Kurtosis;
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2015) Uslu,B.; Tora, Hakan; Tora,H.; Tora, Hakan; Airframe and Powerplant Maintenance; Airframe and Powerplant Maintenance
    This study presents a new approach to the segmentation of isolated words into their voiced/ unvoiced parts. It is well known that voiced/ unvoiced discrimination has an important role in speech synthesis and coding applications. The offered method makes this discrimination using the kurtosis values of the words. The performance of the proposed approach was tested on Turkish digit recordings from zero to nine. It has been observed that this approach segments the parts successfully in not only clean speech but also in noisy speech. © 2015 IEEE.

    Producing Synthetic Speech From Turkish Text Via a Single Sound Synthesizer Ic;
    (2010) Tora,H.; Cengizler,Ç.
    In this study, new speech sounds were created for Turkish letters from the allophones listed in SpeakJet Magnevation complex sound synthesizer IC, which is intended for English, by selecting and paring the most similiar phonems. Consequently, Turkish Text to Speech synthesizer was implemented with minimum enviroment elements and no physical modification on IC. Paring based on SAMPA showed that all Turkish phonems can be obtained from English allophones with high compatibility. The text to speech and paring algorithm presented herein is developed to be embedded in a microcontroller and capable to vocalize a random Turkish text with SpeakJet IC.

    Higher Order Statistical Analysis of Turkish Phones;
    (IEEE Computer Society, 2014) Tora,H.; Uslu,B.
    In this study, histograms of Turkish phones were examined using higher order cumulants. As is known, phones constituting a language, are composed of letters as vowels and consonants. These letters can also be grouped as voiced and unvoiced phones. It is observed that unvoiced letters show a Gaussian-like distribution and result in small values of skewness and kurtosis. On the other hand, vowels and voiced consonants lead to a non-Gaussian distribution. Voiced and unvoiced phones are related with their skewness and kurtosis values. It is empirically shown that higher order cumulants are likely to be a feature in describing Turkish phones. © 2014 IEEE.

    THE USE OF CUMULANTS FOR VOICED-UNVOICED SEGMENTS IDENTIFICATION IN SPEECH SIGNALS
    (Ieee, 2014) Uslu, Baran; Tora, Hakan
    In this study, voiced-unvoiced classification performance of Turkish sounds using skewness and kurtosis is examined. The analyses show that higher order cumulants can be employed as a feature in voiced-unvoiced classification that is vital in speech processing applications. Furthermore, it has been shown that cumulants are also useful for identifying voiced and unvoiced segments in noisy speech signals.
