10 August 2022 (12.00pm, Wednesday, WZ Level 11) Dr Minh Nguyen (CSSE, AUT) Topics on “An Online Platform for Enhancing Teaching and Learning Experiences with Web-Based Augmented Reality and Pictorial Bar Code”
The lack of teaching materials is one of the common problems of the education system, especially in developing countries. The teachers attempt to give students as much theoretical knowledge as possible while forgetting to train them with practical activities and ways of self-thinking. An online platform for enhancing learning experiences with web-based is an excellent tool to solve the problem. Furthermore, Augmented Reality (AR) provides the capability to overlay virtual information onto educational textbooks, making them more attractive and motivating students to learn. We present an online AR study platform capable of running on an everyday handset without requiring software installation. It could provide a stress-free, low-cost, portable and promising solution to use within the educational environment. In addition, they introduce a new transparent AR marker concept that could combine the advantages of the original template markers and barcode markers.

26 April 2022 (5.00pm, Tuesday, Online) Mr Kasun Moolika Gedara (CS, AUT) Topics on “Computational Methods for Visual Blockchain in Intelligent Surveillance”
Visual blockchain takes the novel idea of how to manage and export precise data from surveillance systems for smart cities. Intelligent surveillance automatically provides solid and trustable evidence from networked sensors which are deployed in smart cities. The intelligent systems may suffer limited tamper resistance of the gathered data from digital cameras. The decentralised nature of blockchains has the ability to integrate video frames as the output by using the way of selecting the most appropriate cryptographical algorithms and creating computational methods for visual blockchain so as to proffer sustainable and reliable solutions for the existing problem. In this project, we will devote to deeply investigate computational methods for visual blockchain such as signatures and commitments as well as Merkle tree and secret sharing, our contributions of this project are to: (1) Enrich the security shield of visual blockchain by using computational methods, and (2) create a web-based prototype for implementing visual blockchains so as to minimise the existing gaps.

24 February 2022 (2.00pm, Thursday, Online) Ms Jianchun Qi (CS, AUT) Topics on “A Novel Framework for Waste Classification from Digital Image Using Transformers in Deep Learning”
Waste classification is one of most important ways to protect our environment. There are a spate of benefits to waste sorting. For example, it can reduce pollution and protect NZ ecological environment. Besides, it can also cut down land space and improve land utilisation. The recycling of waste can make effective use of resources. It is important that waste is disposed efficiently and cost-effectively, hence, automated waste sorting is one of the solutions. Even though a pretty assortment of deep learning algorithms have been applied to the field of waste classification, there is still much room for improvement in terms of sorting efficiency and detection accuracy. Moreover, a collection of waste data is a current challenge due to a wide variety of waste classes. Therefore, it is necessary to construct an efficient deep learning model and collect sufficient data to improve the efficiency of waste classification. Therefore, we put forward a new method of waste classification by using attention mechanism of deep learning. The purpose is to implement an efficient, accurate, and reliable waste classification method, which is one of the ways to improve environmental protection. Currently, the network we are using is Swin Transformer.
