Pozycja Prediction of Natural Image Saliency for Synthetic Images(Wydawnictwo Politechniki Łódzkiej, 2021) Rudak, Ewa; Rynkiewicz, Filip; Daszuta, Marcin; Sturgulewski, Łukasz; Lazarek, JagodaNumerous saliency models are being developed with the use ofneural networks and are capable of combining various features and predicting the saliency values with great results. In fact, it might be difficult to replace the possibilities of artificial intelligence applied to algorithms responsible for predicting saliency. However, the low-level features are still important and should not be removed completely from new saliency models. This work shows that carefully chosen and integrated features, including a deep learning based one, can be used for saliency prediction. The integration is obtained by using Multiple Kernel Learning. This solution is quite effective, as compared to a few other models tested on the same dataset.Pozycja Synergy of Convolutional Neural Networks and Geometric Active Contours(Wydawnictwo Politechniki Łódzkiej, 2021) Tomczyk, Arkadiusz; Pankiv, Oleksandr; Szczepaniak, Piotr S.Hybrid approach to machine learning techniques could potentially provide improvements in image segmentation results. In this paper, a model of cooperation of convolutional neural networks and geometric active contours is proposed and developed. The novelty of the approach lies in combining deep neural networks and active contour model in order to improve CNN output results. The method is examined on the image segmentation task and applied to the detection and extraction of nuclei of HL60 cell line. The model had been tested on both 2-D and 3-D images. Because of feature learning characteristics of convolutional neural networks, the proposed solution should perform well in multiple scenarios and can be considered generic.Pozycja Simulation of photon emission by an excited atom in the quantum register(Wydawnictwo Politechniki Łódzkiej, 2021) Ostrowski, MarcinThis paper investigates whether a quantum computer can efficiently simulate the atom deexcitation process with emission of photon.

Prepared research environment consist of five individual experiments focused on analysis of color (especially its contrast) impact on objects perception in virtual space. Both quantitative data from virtual environment and qualitative data from questionnaires have been acquired. Results from one task showed, that there is a correlation between high color contrast and memorization efficiency. At the same time, in accordance with verified results we can’t be certain, that colors having high contrast with surroundings are selected first, better noticed and chosen faster.Pozycja IT law as an indispensable element of education(Wydawnictwo Politechniki Łódzkiej, 2021) Urbaniak-Mastalerz, IzabelaThe study presents the issues of selected aspects of IT law.

This especially applies to remote and e-learning, when a student does not have access to “physical” laboratories. Technologies based on virtualization and containerization can help a lot to deliver the infrastructure. Unfortunately it requires a significant amount of administrative work, because many tasks simply have to be done manually. This article explains the current situation for Infrastructures and Network Applications (INA) specialization at Institute of Information Technology. It also describes how the educational infrastructure could or should be managed in the future.Pozycja Comparison of Selected Algorithms Solving Vehicle Routing Problem with Simultaneous Delivery and Pickup(Wydawnictwo Politechniki Łódzkiej, 2021) Michalik, Maciej; Ochelska-Mierzejewska, JoannaThe Vehicle Routing Problem is a widely known combinatorial optimization problem. A particular variant of this problem is Vehicle Routing Problem with Simultaneous Delivery and Pickup (VRPSDP). In this paper, two metaheuristics are compared in the context of solving the VRPSDP - the Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Ant Colony Optimization (ACO). Both implemented algorithms are hybridized using local search operators. Implemented algorithms are tested using well known Dethloff dataset. The final results show that, in general, ACO gives more accurate results than GA, but it is worse in terms of performance. The main reason for that is the difficulty of incorporating local search operators into the Genetic Algorithm.Pozycja A Case Study based exam at Computer Science at Lodz University of Technology(Wydawnictwo Politechniki Łódzkiej, 2021) Sękalski, Przemysław; Pietrzak, PiotrThis paper describes the process of introducing changes in diploma examination system in the Computer Science discipline at Lodz University of Technology, Poland.

Aim of this work was to investigate and compare the perception of space depending on the type of the camera. For this purpose, a special 360° animated film was created with two types of camera: one following the viewpoint of a character and another one defined by shots. As a result we can tell that the following camera seems to be more attractive to a recipient, which means a greater portion of a material was perceived and with a greater comfort of viewing experience.Pozycja BBO in solving complex optimization problems– bullwhip effect reduction in logistics networks(Wydawnictwo Politechniki Łódzkiej, 2021) Dziomdziora, Adam; Ignaciuk, PrzemysławThis chapter addresses Biogeography-Based Optimization (BBO) implementation for counteracting the bullwhip effect in logistic systems influenced by uncertain demand. The considered class of systems comprises two types of actors – controlled nodes and external sources – connected by unidirectional links. In this paper, the application of BBO is proposed to support the optimization problem of proper channel allocation in transportation links. BBO allows one to perform simulation-based optimization and provide desirable operating conditions to answer a priori unknown, timevarying demand. The effectiveness of the goods distribution process governed under a base-stock policy includes the objective function of mitigating the bullwhip effect and minimizing transportation costs. The introduced optimization problem is solved using BBO to find an optimal channel allocation matrix for a given topology. The results are verified in extensive simulations of a real-world logistic network.
