Extraction of stable foreground image regions for unattended luggage detection
PublikacjaA novel approach to detection of stationary objects in the video stream is presented. Stationary objects are these separated from the static background, but remaining motionless for a prolonged time. Extraction of stationary objects from images is useful in automatic detection of unattended luggage. The proposed algorithm is based on detection of image regions containing foreground image pixels having stable values in time and...

Hybrid no-signaling-quantum correlations
PublikacjaFundamental investigations in non-locality have shown that while the no-signaling principle alone is not sufficient to single out the set of quantum non-local correlations, local quantum mechanics and no-signaling together exactly reproduce the set of quantum correlations in the two-party Bell scenario. Here, we introduce and study an intermediate hybrid no-signaling quantum set of non-local correlations that we term HNSQ in the...
