This paper is devoted to the construction of a visual-inertial odometry system for an unmanned vehicle using both binocular cameras and inertial sensors as an information source, which would be able to simultaneously determine the vehicle's own position and the relative position of other road users. To ensure accurate and continuous localization, it is proposed to use an inertial navigation system and two types of image keypoints. Deep learning models are used to accurately and reliably track keypoints. To achieve efficient and reliable matching of objects between two frames, a multi-level data association mechanism is proposed that takes into account possible errors of various system components. The experimental results demonstrate the feasibility and application potential of the proposed system.

This article evaluates various methods for determining the technical condition of structures, buildings and structures. To date, probabilistic (statistical) methods are considered to be one of the possible options for determining the degree of destruction of building structures. The advantage of these methods is the ability to comprehensively take into account the parameters present in a variety of material nature. This is due to the possibility of describing them in dimensionless quantities. The purpose of the method under consideration is to formulate a certain number of technical conditions (events) through which it is planned to determine the degree of destruction and find a set of technical conditions of building structures. Diagnostic matrices are created by combining diagnostic features and their conditional probabilities, acquired by analyzing a large amount of accumulated statistical data.

This paper is devoted to the construction of a robust visual-inertial odometry system for an unmanned vehicle using binocular cameras and inertial sensors as information sources.The system is based on a modified structure of the VINS-FUSION system. Two types of feature points and matching methods are used to better balance the quantity and quality of tracking points. To filter out incorrect matches of key points, it is proposed to use several different methods. Semantic and geometric information are combined to quickly remove dynamic objects. Keypoints of static objects are used to complement the tracking points. A multi-layer optimization mechanism is proposed to fully utilize all point matchings and improve the accuracy of motion estimation. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the system.

The purpose of the article: to determine the possibility of using file hash analysis using artificial neural networks to detect exploits in files. Research method: the search for exploits in files is carried out based on the analysis of Windows registry file hashes obtained by two hashing algorithms SHA-256 and SHA-512, using three types of artificial neural networks (direct propagation, recurrent, convolutional). The obtained result: the use of artificial neural networks in file hash analysis allows us to identify exploits or malicious records in files; the performance (accuracy) of artificial neural networks of direct propagation and with recurrent architecture are comparable to each other and are much more productive than convolutional neural networks; the longer the length of the file hash, the more reliably it is to identify an exploit in the file

A vectorial diffraction model is presented for the focusing of a Gaussian laser beam with a wavelength of 800 nm by a parabolic metallic mirror with a diameter of 15 mm and a focal length of 150 mm. The model is based on a rigorous calculation of the reflected electromagnetic field using s- and p-polarization basis functions, complex Fresnel coefficients, and the Kirchhoff–Rayleigh surface integral. The reflective coating is characterized by a complex refractive index n = 0.145 + 4.5i, corresponding to silver in the near-infrared spectral range. The incident beam has a waist radius of 3 mm at the mirror’s vertex plane. The field distribution in the focal plane is numerically computed on a 300×300 grid over a ±30 μm region. Focus quality is evaluated using three criteria: total intensity, radial intensity distribution, and the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the focal spot. A focal spot with FWHM ≈ 8.56 μm is obtained, in close agreement with the theoretical diffraction-limited estimate. The results demonstrate that accounting for the vectorial nature of the field and the dissipative properties of the metal enables accurate prediction of polarization distortions and energy losses in practical mirror-based focusing systems.

An integrated approach to the numerical study of forced oscillations of a vehicle moving over an uneven road surface is proposed. The method combines 3D parametric modeling in SolidWorks with spectral-correlation analysis in MATLAB/Simulink. A multibody CAD model of a vehicle with independent suspension for all wheels was developed, including the main frame, lever suspensions with nonlinear elastic-damping elements, wheels, and the powertrain. The road microprofile was formalized using a correlation function implemented as a random process in MATLAB and imported into SolidWorks as a spatial profile. Dynamic analysis was performed using the SolidWorks Motion module. The results show that the vehicle's suspension exhibits a filtering effect, attenuating high-frequency disturbances from the road and shifting the dominant frequency of the center of mass oscillations to a lower range (~0.4 Hz). The rapid decay of the autocorrelation function indicates effective damping. This approach allows for efficient virtual testing without costly physical experiments.

This paper provides a survey of metrics used to assess the quality of images generated by generative models. Specialized metrics are required to objectively evaluate image quality. A comparative analysis showed that a combination of different metrics is necessary for a comprehensive evaluation of generation quality. Perceptual metrics are effective for assessing image quality from the perspective of machine systems, while metrics evaluating structure and details are useful for analyzing human perception. Text-based metrics allow for the assessment of image-text alignment but cannot replace metrics focused on visual or structural evaluation. The results of this study will be beneficial for specialists in machine learning and computer vision, as well as contribute to the improvement of generative algorithms and the expansion of diffusion model applications.

The article considers the assessment of the suitability of solar radiation data from ERA5 atmospheric reanalysis for forecasting problems in the northern territories. The experimental site of the Mukhrino station (Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug), equipped with an autonomous power supply system, was chosen as the object of analysis. A statistical analysis of the annual array of global horizontal insolation data obtained using the PVGIS platform has been carried out. Seasonal and diurnal features of changes in insolation are considered, distribution profiles are constructed, and emissions are estimated using the interquartile range method. It is established that the data are characterized by high variability and the presence of a large number of zero values due to polar nights and weather conditions. The identified features must be taken into account when building short-term forecasting models. The conclusion is made about the acceptable quality of ERA5 data for use in forecasting energy generation and consumption in heating systems.
