Challenges facing valuers in valuation of art and artifacts in Ogun State Nigeria
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2018) Ibisola, Abayomi Solomon; Folarin, Abiola Aishat; Atilola, Moses Idowu
Contrary to the perception that estate surveyors and valuers are only concerned with the valuation of lands and buildings, their scope of work included art and artifact valuation. The valuation of art and artifacts can pose serious difficulties to a young valuer, as experienced valuers can establish expertise in the arts area. This study examines the possible challenges in the valuation of art and artifacts. Structured questionnaires were administered on 17 estate surveying and valuation firms in Abeokuta, Ogun State. The data was analyzed using the Relative Important Index. The results revealed that the valuation of art and artifacts requires more specialized knowledge and practical skills than what is required for valuing lands and buildings. The results further show that valuers are confronted with the challenges of a lack of information and inadequate access to past transaction records. This study recommends that, beyond the valuation of lands and buildings taught in schools, training on art and artifacts should also be incorporated in a curriculum and as well as professional training from time to time.

Current research opportunities for image processing and computer vision
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2019) Gupta, Abhishek
Image processing and computer vision is an important and essential area in today’s scenario. Several problems can be solved through computer vision techniques. There are a large number of challenges and opportunities which require skills in the field of computer vision to address them. Computer vision applications cover each band of the electromagnetic spectrum and there are numerous applications in every band. This article is targeted to the research students, scholars and researchers who are interested to solve the problems in the field of image processing and computer vision. It addresses the opportunities and current trends of computer vision applications in all emerging domains. The research needs are identified through available literature survey and classified in the corresponding domains. The possible exemplary images are collected from the different repositories available for research and shown in this paper. The opportunities mentioned in this paper are explained through the images so that a naive researcher can understand it well before proceeding to solve the corresponding problems. The databases mentioned in this article could be useful for researchers who are interested in further solving the problem. The motivation of the article is to expose the current opportunities in the field of image processing and computer vision along with corresponding repositories. Interested researchers who are working in the field can choose a problem through this article and can get the experimental images through the cited references for working further.
