In connection with the increase of information confrontation leading States you need to substantiate the possibility to predict real conflicts, including military, observing the information flows generated by media information. Besides the analysis of the results obtained in monitoring the flow of information requires a mathematical evaluation of the studied processes in the information field and forming conclusions on prospects of development of these information flows. Approach to the solution of this problem is given in the article.

The main difficulty in processing information messages, provided to the media for any thematic focus are their almost unlimited quantities. Currently, there are various search engines, allowing for a specific set of keywords you specify any search depth informational messages, surveys, analytic studies for hyperlinks. However, redraft the proposed huge volumes of Internet information resources and to issue its own version requires time-consuming, sometimes not commensurate with the urgency of the generated document. As a result on the Internet is taken, as a rule, ready to stamp the appropriate under preference analytics produces an information document, which suffers from objectivity in the conclusions and assessments.

A method for determining the size of a population is proposed. The general approach for determining the size of a population follows from the statement that the chromosomes of a population must contain the maximum number of different values that cover most of the search area. The method is based on the regression model, which allows you to determine the size of the population, depending on the permissible number of values of the independent variable. The regression model is obtained as a result of processing simulation data in the formation of a population for a single-variable objective function. The problem is solved for a genetic algorithm, where the genotype is represented by a chromosome in binary code, and the phenotype by a decimal integer code of values of independent variables. This allows you to model the formation of a population without reference to specific values of variables. The model was obtained for the power range of the reference sets from 12 to 52, and allows to predict the size of the population beyond the limits of this range. The main area of use of this method is discrete optimization problems with objective functions of several variables, where the ranges of admissible values are finite and have a small dimension.

The detection and recognition of sub-surface buried objects, such landmines, with variable characteristics may be extremely difficult. Infrared (IR) thermography, which is widely employed in the detection of discontinuities in materials and structures, would be in principle suitable also for this kind of application. The issue in this case appears to be the presence of excessive levels of background noise, whose modelling is difficult, in that it results from a number of factors e.g., moisture content, presence of vegetation, and variation of solar radiation at topsoil level. In recent years, a number of studies have tried to overcome these limitations and improve the reliability of this method, using filtering and automatic pattern recognition techniques, specific for the detection of buried objects. This work is aimed at revising and commenting the most recent experiences in this application of IR thermography. The article considers the possibility of using an IR thermal imaging camera attached to a multifunctional quadrocopter in order to improve the reliability of detection of ground and buried explosive objects.

This article focuses on selecting the best quality image from the series without the reference image. The results of studies of a new approach to digital image quality assessment, based on the local quality estimates distribution, are presented. One of the parameters of such a distribution is proposed to be used as a measure of image quality. 16 quality measures of the images described in the scientific literature have been selected. It is shown that the scale parameter of the Weibull distribution is a more accurate global quality measure for the set of local estimates than the mean value. A number of experiments have been carried out to confirm the correctness of such an estimate and its correlation with visual estimates of image quality. Such estimates are very important for a) quality assessment of automatically generated photographs, b) selection of parameters for enhancement-oriented image transformations, such as brightness changes, compression of the dynamic range of brightness, conversion to the grayscale representation, and others.

The verification results of the computer simulation model for calculation of aerodynamic characteristics of bluff bodies (cone with different apex angles and a «cone–cylinder» body) moving in air at different Mach number and zero angle of attack are presented. It is shown that numerical simulation results fairly agree with physical experiment data.

The algorithm of detection of direct contour lines base on euclidean form factor is presented. The essence of the algorithm is the detection of direct contour lines as a result of a comparison with unity of the value of the euclidean form factor, taking into account the sum of the euclidean distances between neighbors pixels forming the contour line, when its length is calculate. The developed algorithm makes it possible to increase the stability of the allocation of lines and the speed of response in comparison with the Hough algorithm is show.

The article focused on recommendations for the local network protection from unauthorized access of employees (insider attacks) on the basis of access control, using the basic settings of existing equipment. The use of MAC-based access profiles (MAC-based Access Control) is proposed. The problems of information security at the physical and channel levels, as well as the most common types of attacks are considered. For research purposes, a mockup of a typical local area network was created, including personal computers, ZTE ZXHN H208N modem with support WiFi-access point and the switch DES-1210-52, which connected these devices to the network.
