Scene Segmentation Basing on Color and Depth Images for Kinect Sensor
PublicationIn this paper we propose a method for segmenting single images from Kinect sensor by considering both color and depth information. The algorithm is based on a series of edge detection procedures designed for particular features of the scene objects. RGB and HSV color planes are separately analyzed in the first step with Canny edge detector, resulting in overall color edges mask. In depth images both clear boundaries and smooth...

THE SYNCHROSQUEEZING METHOD IN BEARING ESTIMATION OF STATIONARY SIGNALS FOR PASSIVE SONAR WITH TOWED ARRAY
PublicationIn this paper, a novel method of bearing estimation in a passive sonar system with a towed array is introduced. The classical approach of bearing estimation based on the spatial spectrum [1] is extended by using the synchrosqeezing method that is a part of the reassignment method introduced by Kodera et al. [2]. Using this method leads to a precise bearing estimation. The proposed method requires a relatively small amount of computation,...

A perfect hashing incremental scheme for unranked trees using pseudo-minimal automata
PublicationWe describe a technique that maps unranked trees to arbitrary hash codes using a bottom-up deterministic tree automaton (DTA). In contrast to other hashing techniques based on automata, our procedure builds a pseudo-minimal DTA for this purpose. A pseudo-minimal automaton may be larger than the minimal one accepting the same language but, in turn, it contains proper elements (states or transitions that are unique) for every input...

Continuous learning as a method of raising qualifications – the perspective of workers, employers and training organizations
PublicationContinuous learning is discussed in strategic documents of Poland and the European Union. In Poland, the idea of continuous learning is not very popular. However, in the context of strong competition in the labour market and the progressive globalization processes, the skills issue takes on new meaning — both for employees and employers. In order to adapt skills to labour market needs it is necessary to conduct adequate studies...
