Özet

With the development of technology, target and object recognition issues are becoming increasingly important day by day. In this article, studies on ultrasonic signal processing and object recognition techniques in the literature were examined. An integrated system design that includes ultrasonic signal data obtained from different objects has been designed to contribute to the literature. With this system design, a new method is proposed that includes signal pre-processing, feature extraction and classification processes. In addition, different machine learning and artificial neural networks algorithms are used to organize and classify the data obtained from ultrasonic signals, to obtain high-performance classification rates and to achieve comprehensive object recognition. As a result of the study carried out in this context, the data set obtained from different types of objects at different distances and angles was arranged and passed through various pre-processing and statistical feature extraction methods. In conclusion, a high-performance classification rate of 97.8% using the random forest algorithm and 99.10% using the artificial neural networks algorithm was obtained during the classification phase.
