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.

In this paper, methods for estimating one's own position from a video image are considered. A robust two-stage algorithm for reconstructing the scene structure from its observed video images is proposed. In the proposed algorithm, at the feature extraction and matching stage, a random sample based on the neighborhood graph cuts is used to select the most probable matching feature pairs. At the nonlinear optimization stage, an improved optimization algorithm with an adaptive attenuation coefficient and dynamic adjustment of the trust region is used. Compared with the classical Levenberg-Marquard (LM) algorithm, global and local convergence can be better balanced. To simplify the system's decisions, the Schur complement method is used at the group tuning stage, which allows for a significant reduction in the amount of computation. The experiments confirmed the operability and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

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.

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.

The circumstances preventing the mass application of this technology have been identified, the main part of which is related to the increase in the cost of work at the initial stage. However, the use of the technology is justified because it allows you to localize the location and period of leakage, has increased maintainability and durability.

The results of studies of the strength properties of plaster solutions with vermiculite on a mixed binder using a multifunctional additive D-5 are presented. A slight acceleration of the setting time of solutions with a multifunctional additive D-5 was found, while the bending and compressive strengths of the solutions did not change significantly after 2 hours and 28 days. Replacing part of the expanded vermiculite fraction 0 – 0.315 mm with volcanic pumice fraction 0 – 0.315 mm in the construction mortar allows to significantly increase their strength characteristics and reduce the cost without a noticeable increase in density. Expressions of the dependence of the compressive strength of the mortars on the calculated total porosity are obtained.

The article presents the results of laboratory testing of a precast lintel made of D600 aerated concrete blocks fastened together using assembly adhesive for laying aerated concrete blocks and three reinforcing bars, two bars in the lower zone with a diameter of 20 mm A400 and one bar in the upper zone with a diameter of 16 mm A400. When testing the beam lintel, 3 loading schemes were assembled, each of which was a beam hinged on concrete supports. The obtained data were analyzed. Based on the test results, destructive loads, the nature of destruction were determined and the resulting deformations were assessed. The nature of destruction is similar to that of reinforced concrete beam structures with insufficient transverse reinforcement; destruction in all tested prototypes occurs in the support zone along inclined sections. The bearing capacity of aerated concrete lintels made of piece material is sufficient for use in construction practice.

The article presents an analysis of modern methods of image generation: variational autoencoders (VAE), generative adversarial networks (GAN) and diffusion models. The main attention is paid to a comparative analysis of their performance, generation quality and computational requirements. The Frechet Inception Distance (FID) metric is used to assess the image quality. Diffusion models showed the best results (FID 20.8), outperforming VAE (FID 59.75) and GAN (FID 38.9), but require significant resources. VAEs are stable, but generate blurry images. GANs provide high quality, but suffer from training instability and mode collapse. Diffusion models, due to step-by-step noise decoding, combine detail and structure, which makes them the most promising. Also considered are methods of image-to-image generation used for image modification. The results of the study are useful for specialists in the field of machine learning and computer vision, contributing to the improvement of algorithms and expansion of the areas of application of generative models.
