Textural features are one of the most important types of useful information contained in images. In practice, these features are commonly masked by noise. Relatively little attention has been paid to texture preserving properties of noise attenuation methods. This stimulates solving the following tasks: (1) to analyze the texture preservation properties of various filters; and (2) to design ima...

We analyze the spectrum of tensor-triangulated category Artin-Tate motives over base field R real numbers, with integral coefficients. Away from 2, we obtain same as for complex Tate motives, previously studied by second-named author. So novelty is concentrated at prime where modular representation theory enters picture via work Positselski, based on Voevodsky's resolution Milnor Conjecture. Wi...

Values education and environmental education for sustainability are both spheres of education research that have manifested rapid and overlapping development in recent years. An independent primary school located in the Perth metropolitan area of Western Australia participated in research on both values education and environmental education for sustainability. The school contributed to a Values...

This report is concerned with understanding the interplay between 3D face reconstruction and recognition. We provide analysis for the effect of adaptive sparse 3D reconstructions on recognition rate. This work illustrates that, for 3D face recognition, a proper mesh containing nearly 2% of the facial information and about 5 times the initial/root mesh provides similar recognition rate as one wi...
