The fastest growing and most exciting scientific field today is Artificial Intelligence (AI) with its real world applications. The current transformation of society and business needs for AI specialists with specific competencies and skills dictate the transformation of the Serbian educational system and its adjustment toward modern demands. This paper presents some results and analysis of conducted surveys in the scope of the Erasmus+ project “Future is in Applied Artificial Intelligence” related to the current state of AI education in Serbia, existing university AI courses, knowledge and attitude of students and teachers toward AI contents, needs of the employers and the preferred future directions of the transformation of education system toward a competency-based digital society through formulating adequate AI learning requirements.

This paper describes the study of conditions and parameter settings of the algorithm, that underlies in the basis of information technology of person recognition and identification, for creating a unified space for both low-quality and high-quality images with the purpose of developing the requirements to the input images, that will allow correctly identify images with different characteristics. For experimental research the algorithm was used that underlies in information technology of person identification in video stream. It includes the anisotropic diffusion as an image preprocessing method, Gabor wavelet transform as an image processing method, histogram of oriented gradients (HOG) and local binary patterns in 1-dimensional space (1DLBP) as the methods of feature vector extraction from the images. In this work anisotropic diffusion was applied with the parameter that preserves sharper boundaries than previous formulations and improves the automatic stopping of the diffusion. In the study three person images databases were used: The Database of Faces, Facial Recognition Technology (FERET) database and Surveillance Cameras Face Database (SCface). The algorithm performance provided various identification accuracy rate results with the difference, which amount to 20% in average. It arose the issue of input images space mismatching that significantly affected the algorithm performance. Therefore, it has been decided to perform the experimental research to search the possibility to create unified space of the requirements to the input images that will allow correctly identify images from different databases. So, there were performed the experiments with the image compression variety, difference of image resolutions and areas of face regions covering the images.
