The rising popularity of UAVs and other autonomous control systems coupled with real-time operating systems has increased the complexity of developing systems with the proper robustness, performance, and reactivity. The growing demand for more sophisticated computational tasks, proportionally larger payloads, battery limitations, and smaller take-off mass requires higher energy efficiency for all avionics and mission computers. This paper aims to develop a technique for experimentally studying the indicators of reactivity and energy consumption in a computing platform for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The paper provides an experimental assessment of the `Boryviter 0.1’ computing platform, which is implemented on the ATSAMV71 microprocessor and operates under the open-source FreeRTOS operating system. The results are the basis for developing algorithms and energy-efficient design strategies for the mission computer to solve the optimization problem. This paper provides experimental results of measurements of the energy consumed by the microcontroller and estimates of the reduction in system energy consumption due to additional time costs for suspending and resuming the computer’s operation. The results show that the `Boryviter 0.1’ computing platform can be used as a UAV mission computer for typical flight control tasks requiring real-time computing under the influence of external factors. As a further work direction, we plan to investigate the proposed energy-saving algorithms within the planned NASA F’Prime software flight framework. Such an investigation, which should use the mission computer’s actual flight computation load, will help to qualify the obtained energy-saving methods and their implementation results. Full article

A large number of real-world problems from various fields of human activity can be reduced to optimal partitioning-allocation problems with the purpose of minimizing the partitioning quality criterion. A typical representative of such problem is an infinite-dimensional transportation problem and more generalized problems—infinite-dimensional problems of production centers placement along with the partitioning of the area of continuously distributed consumers with the purpose of minimizing transportation and production costs. The relevant problems are characterized by some kind of uncertainty level of a not-probabilistic nature. A method is proposed to solve an optimal fuzzy partitioning-allocation problem with the subsets centers placement for sets of n-dimensional Euclidean space. The method is based on the synthesis of the methods of fuzzy theory and optimal partitioning-allocation theory, which is a new science field in infinite-dimensional mathematical programming with Boolean variables. A theorem was proved that determines the form of the optimal solution of the corresponding optimal fuzzy partitioning-allocation problem with the subsets centers placement for sets of n-dimensional Euclidean space. An algorithm for solving fuzzy partitioning-allocation problems is proposed, which is based on the proved theorem and on a variant of Shor’s r-algorithm—a non-differential optimization method. The application of the proposed method is demonstrated on model tasks, where the coefficient of mistrust is integrated to interpret the obtained result—the minimum value of the membership function, which allows each point of the set partition to be assigned to a specific fuzzy subset.

A spatial problem of elasticity theory is solved for a layer located on two bearings embedded in it. The bearings are represented as thick-walled pipes embedded in the layer parallel to its boundaries. The pipes are rigidly connected to the layer, and contact-type conditions (normal displacements and tangential stresses) are specified on the insides of the pipes. Stresses are set on the flat surfaces of the layer. The objective of this study is to obtain the stress–strain state of the body of the layer under different geometric characteristics of the model. The solution to the problem is presented in the form of the Lamé equation, whose terms are written in different coordinate systems. The generalized Fourier method is used to transfer the basic solutions between coordinate systems. By satisfying the boundary and conjugation conditions, the problem is reduced to a system of infinite linear algebraic equations of the second kind, to which the reduction method is applied. After finding the unknowns, using the generalized Fourier method, it is possible to find the stress–strain state at any point of the body. The numerical study of the stress state showed high convergence of the approximate solutions to the exact one. The stress–strain state of the composite body was analyzed for different geometric parameters and different pipe materials. The results obtained can be used for the preliminary determination of the geometric parameters of the model and the materials of the joints. The proposed solution method can be used not only to calculate the stress state of bearing joints, but also of bushings (under specified conditions of rigid contact without friction on the internal surfaces).

Digital images play a particular role in a wide range of systems. Image processing, storing and transferring via networks require a lot of memory, time and traffic. Also, appropriate protection is required in the case of confidential data. Discrete atomic compression (DAC) is an approach providing image compression and encryption simultaneously. It has two processing modes: lossless and lossy. The latter one ensures a higher compression ratio in combination with inevitable quality loss that may affect decompressed image analysis, in particular, classification. In this paper, we explore the impact of distortions produced by DAC on performance of several state-of-the-art classifiers based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs). The classic, block-splitting and chroma subsampling modes of DAC are considered. It is shown that each of them produces a quite small effect on MobileNetV2, VGG16, VGG19, ResNet50, NASNetMobile and NASNetLarge models. This research shows that, using the DAC approach, memory expenses can be reduced without significant degradation of performance of the aforementioned CNN-based classifiers. Full article

This manuscript focuses on the process of measuring the angular positions of radio sources using radio engineering systems. This study aims to improve the accuracy of measuring the angular positions of sources that radiate functionally determined signals and to expand the range of the unambiguous operation angles for multi-antenna radio direction finders. To achieve this goal, the following tasks were addressed: (1) defining the models of signals, noise, and their statistical characteristics, (2) developing the theoretical foundations of statistical optimization methods for measuring the angular positions of radio sources in multi-antenna radio direction finders, (3) optimizing the structures of radio direction finders with different configurations, (4) analyzing the accuracy and range of the unambiguous measurement angles in the developed methods, and (5) conducting experimental measurements to confirm the main results. The methods used are based on the statistical theory of optimization for remote sensing and radar systems. For the specified type of signals, given by functionally deterministic models, a likelihood function was constructed, and its maxima were determined for different multi-antenna direction finder configurations. The results of statistical synthesis were verified through simulation modeling and experiments. The primary approach to improving measurement accuracy and expanding the range of unambiguous angles involves combining antennas with different spatial characteristics and optimally integrating classical radio direction-finding methods. The following results were obtained: (1) theoretical studies and simulation modeling confirmed the existence of a contradiction between high resolution and the width of the range of the unambiguous measurements in two-antenna radio direction finders, (2) an improved signal processing method was developed for a four-antenna radio direction finder with a pair of high-gain and a pair of low-gain antennas, and (3) to achieve maximum direction-finding accuracy within the unambiguous measurement range, a new signal processing method was synthesized for a six-element radio receiver, combining processing in two amplitude direction finders and one phase direction finder. This work provides a foundation for further theoretical studies, highlights the specifics of combining engineering measurements in direction-finding systems, and offers examples of rapid verification of new methods through computer modeling and experimental measurements.

In this paper, an analysis of existing models for describing surfaces of various types is performed, and the possibilities of their application at the level of mathematical modeling are analyzed. Moreover, due to the large number of models and the complexity of selecting the appropriate model, e.g., when conducting a practical experiment, an algorithm for choosing a specific model depending on the initial data is proposed. According to the algorithm, a software prototype that implements this algorithm (written in Python) is proposed. Full article
