Semantic Numeration Systems as Information Tools forFuzzy Data Processing

Vol. 12 No. 1 (2022): JITA – APEIRON Alexander Yu. Chunikhin, Vadym Zhytniuk Semantic Numeration Systems as Information Tools for Fuzzy Data Processing Original scientific paper DOI: https://doi.org/10.7251/JIT2201014C Download Article PDF Abstract We describe the concept of semantic numeration systems (SNS) as a certain class of context-based numeration methods. The main attention is paid to the key elements of semantic numeration systems – cardinal semantic operators. A classification of semantic numeration systems is given. The concept of fuzzy cardinal semantic transformation as a basis for creating fuzzy semantic numeration systems is advanced. Both fuzziness of the initial data – cardinals of abstract entities – and fuzziness of the parameters of the cardinal semantic operators are considered. The principle of formation of the fuzzy common carry in the cardinal semantic operators with multiple inputs is formulated Keywords: Cardinal Abstract Entity, Cardinal Semantic Operator, Semantic Numeration System, Fuzzy Cardinal Semantic Transformation.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Image Processing With the Useof a Neural Network

Vol. 12 No. 2 (2022): JITA – APEIRON Alekseev Viktor Mikhailovich, Khusenov Dodokhon Naimboevich, Andreev Andrey Andreevich, Chichkov Sergey Nikolaevich Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Image Processing With the Use of a Neural Network Original scientific paper DOI:https://doi.org/10.7251/JIT2202089M Download Article PDF Abstract Transport infrastructure facilities are critically important. To ensure their functioning, it is necessary to apply tracking methods that provide a high degree of protection. The article deals with the issues of unauthorized intrusion of foreign objects controlling, in order to prevent a dangerous impact on the infrastructure of high-speed transport. In this regard, it is proposed to conduct round-the-clock surveillance using unmanned aerial vehicles. Due to the fact that the range of UAV’s action distance is limited, therefore, it is proposed to use a remote method of detecting the intrusion of objects on the infrastructure with the use of an optical cable OK. The joint use of UAVs and OK allows to create a reliable system that provides control over the intrusion on the infrastructure. Special video cameras (thermal imagers, Lidar) are installed on unmanned aerial vehicles, providing inspection of the invasion area during day and night time. Since video recording devices have different resolution, the task is to apply methods for integrating data with different resolution and processing them by a neural network. The implementation of infrastructure tracking systems requires increasing demands on the network structure. One of the tasks set in this article is the development of the structure of the intrusion detection network on the high–speed ground transport infrastructure. Keywords: optical cable, local area computer network, structure of an unmanned vehicle network, video cameras, intrusion on infrastructure.
