Wavelet‐Based Multiscale Adaptive LBP with Directional Statistical Features for Recognizing Artificial Faces

International Scholarly Research Notices, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
Recognizing avatar faces is a very important issue for the security of virtual worlds. In this paper, a novel face recognition technique based on the wavelet transform and the multiscale representation of the adaptive local binary pattern (ALBP) with directional statistical features is proposed to increase the accuracy rate of recognizing avatars in ...

The Playing Session: Enhanced Playability for Mobile Gamers in Massive Metaverses

International Journal of Computer Games Technology, Volume 2008, Issue 1, 2008., 2008
Internet ubiquity and the success of mobile gaming devices are increasing the interest in wireless access to virtual environments. Mainly due to the mobility factor and wireless medium features, traditional gaming architectures are not enough to guarantee good levels of playability and fairness to mobile gamers.

CX: A Scalable, Robust Network for Parallel Computing

Scientific Programming, Volume 10, Issue 2, Page 159-171, 2002., 2002
CX, a network‐based computational exchange, is presented. The system′s design integrates variations of ideas from other researchers, such as work stealing, non‐blocking tasks, eager scheduling, and space‐based coordination. The object‐oriented API is simple, compact, and cleanly separates application logic from the logic that supports interprocess ...

Poza piosenką, poza materią… Rozwiązania formalne w wybranych przykładach polskiej muzyki postmetalowej

Annales Universitatis Paedagogicae Cracoviensis. Studia de Cultura
Jednym z najciekawszych zjawisk w muzyce rockowej przełomu XX i XXI w. jest postmetal. Ze względu na swoją hybrydyczność i polistylizm wpisuje się w estetykę postmodernizmu.

A new cockroach (Blattodea, Rhipidoblattinidae) from the Toarcian (Lower Jurassic) of Alderton Hill, Gloucestershire, UK, and the earliest likely occurrence of aposematic colouration in cockroaches

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 10, Issue 5, September/October 2024.
Abstract We describe the seventh valid species of cockroach, Alderblattina simmsi gen. et sp. nov., from insect‐rich strata recording the Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event (T‐OAE). The T‐OAE represents a period of extreme global warming and environmental change that drove palaeoecological pressures and evolutionary changes in marine and terrestrial ...
