Oleksandr Lavrynenko — Mon, 30 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0300

This paper analyzes the effectiveness of the developed voice control system for robotics based on MFCC and GMM-SVM under the influence of interference in the communication channel. The system allows characterizing individual features of speech signals with their subsequent classification and making a reliable decision on the interpretation and execution of voice commands by robotic equipment. The proposed voice control system for robotics based on MFCC and GMM-SVM is implemented using the following technologies: 1) selection of active speech areas by calculating the short-term energy and the number of zero crossings between adjacent frames of the speech signal; 2) adaptive wavelet filtering of the speech signal, where it is necessary to generate threshold values, which will reduce the impact of additive noise; 3) selection of recognition features, which are used as mel-frequency cepstral coefficients; 4) classification of recognition features based on mixtures of Gaussian distributions and the support vector method using the linear Campbell kernel and the principal component method with a projection on latent structures, which will reduce errors of the 1st and 2nd kind.

Zhanna Bokal — Mon, 30 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0300

This paper introduces advanced copula-based methods for the nonparametric detection and characterization of wideband radar signals. The research focuses on developing signal detection algorithms that are invariant to changes in the probability density function of the sounding or reflected signals, employing multiscale analysis techniques and copula-based statistics. Two primary approaches are explored: multiscale analysis using wavelet transforms and rank-based signal detection with copula-based ambiguity functions. Simulation results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed approaches. The research demonstrates that integrating rank-based methods with copula-based statistics significantly improves the detection and analysis of wideband radar signals, particularly in complex scenarios where signals exhibit intricate dependency structures. This comprehensive detection framework is well-suited for handling high-dimensional radar signal data, enhancing accuracy and reliability under varied conditions. Future work will focus on optimizing copula selection and permutation strategies to further improve performance.

Olena Chumachenko , Kirill Riazanovskiy — Mon, 30 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0300

This article is devoted to the development of a method (algorithm) of medical image segmentation based on semi-supervised learning. Semi-supervised learning methods are shown to have significant potential for improving medical image segmentation through effective use of unlabeled data. However, challenges remain in adapting these methods to the specific characteristics of medical images, such as high variability, class imbalance, and the presence of noise and artifacts. To overcome these difficulties, it is proposed to integrate several approaches (consistency regularization, pseudo-labeling, average teacher model) into a single structure. To increase the robustness and generalizability of the model for different imaging methods, we include industry-specific data supplements tailored to the unique characteristics and challenges of each method. Large-scale experiments on magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, and optical coherence tomography datasets demonstrate that the proposed framework significantly outperforms fully supervised and individual semisupervised learning methods, especially in scenarios with low data labeling.

It is shown that the compensation scheme and the filtering scheme, the more common name of which is the complementary filter scheme, are the most common for processing flight and navigational information in inertial-Doppler navigation systems. The paper proves the equivalence of the compensation scheme and the complementary filter scheme, and also substantiates that these schemes, unlike Kalman filtering, are simple to implement, and for design, they require the selection and setting of only one parameter - the filter time constant.
A technique for choosing the optimal value of the filter time constant is proposed, which ensures the
maximum accuracy of the estimated parameter, namely: the aircraft's cruising speed. The methodology is based on the analysis of error spectra of integrated systems: the inertial system - with a low-frequency
error spectrum, and the Doppler system with a high-frequency spectrum. Studies of synthesized filtering schemes have been conducted.

Мykola Filyashkin — Fri, 29 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0200

The mode of automatic control of a low-altitude flight of a helicopter over heavily rugged
terrain based on information about the inclined range is considered. It is shown that at high flight speeds it is impossible to overcome strictly vertical obstacles without changing the angle of inclination of the rangefinder antenna to the horizon depending on the flight speed, or without reducing the flight speed when approaching such an obstacle. Algorithms for controlling low-altitude flight using a two-channel scheme are proposed, namely, at high speeds through the longitudinal channel of the swashplate, and at low speeds – through the channel of the general pitch of the main rotor. The problem of optimal control of low-altitude helicopter flight is formulated, which can be presented as a variational problem with
restrictions on phase coordinates and control influences. Ways to optimize the process of circumventing an obstacle with forecasting the trajectory of the helicopter on a certain section of the route with
subsequent stabilization of the helicopter on this trajectory are shown.

Aleksandra Gridyakina , Arkadiy Polishchuk , Tetiana Len — Fri, 29 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0200

The work is devoted to the study of the optical properties of ionic thermotropic liquid crystals of the homologous series of cobalt alkanoates and their smectic glasses using methods of electronic spectroscopy.

Olena Klyuchko , Iryna Morozova , Michail Klyuchko , Nataliia Burceva — Fri, 29 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0200

The results of solving the problem of modeling the interaction of iron Fe³⁺ nanoparticles with thin bilayer membranes were represented. The purpose of the work was to create a physical model of the behavior and interaction of Fe³⁺ iron nanoparticles, which are located near thin films of organic substances. For this, physical model systems with thin films - BPM (bilayer phospholipid membranes) and BLM (bilayer lipid membranes) were considered and analyzed, and iron nanoparticles were introduced into these systems. To fulfill the given task, the data search methods ("data mining") obtained by the gas-liquid chromatography were used, as well as ones obtained in experiments with registration of transmembrane electric currents through artificial two-layer BPM and BLM membranes, and partially ones from the experiments on natural membranes with technique of voltage clamp. Since the applied FeCl₃ undergoes hydrolysis, the formed hydroxyl groups interact with BLM membranes, also participating in the sum of interaction effects. Thus, it was concluded about the important role of hydroxyl groups in the mechanism of anionic selectivity of BLM, which is a confirmation of previously obtained research data. A number of effects with participation of ionophores, which increase the ion permeability of artificial BLM membranes, were also considered; they can bind metal ions due to ion-dipole interaction. The described system with a membrane and iron (III) ions located near it can be used to study a number of phenomena on both artificial and natural membranes, for example, when iron nanoparticles were absorbed by human body from the environment. For all considered cases, known physical and physico-chemical regularities and the corresponding developed mathematical apparatus were verified. Namely, analytical expressions based on electrostatic interactions of electric charges associated with Fe³⁺ ions and localized on membrane surfaces were valid for describing the considered effects. The considered model membranes are on the border between living and non-living nature. At the same time, these systems are simple systems to which the laws of physics and physical chemistry are applicable. And, in some cases, when developing some technical hybrid systems, they can play the role of biosensors. Due to their simplicity, such models can be reproduced quite easily in the conditions of experiments, substances testing with analytical purpose in extreme situations. Therefore, such simple, reliable, tested methods can be used in wartime situations with limited laboratory resources.

During the operation of the stabilization systems, the parameters of the control object and the regulator can change for various reasons within fairly wide limits. In such cases, they speak of the presence of parametric uncertainty. Note that the main indicator of the quality of the stabilization system is considered to be the accuracy of the stabilization of the control object. As theoretical studies show, the accuracy of stabilization systems directly depends on their rigidity and damping, because they directly affect the formation of the moment of stabilization and determine the effectiveness of the system's response to external disturbances. Changing stiffness and damping in order to ensure the necessary efficiency of stabilization systems is the basis of their operational adjustments. To change these parameters, there are summation circuits in the systems. Will the change in the summation circuit type affect the solution to the main task of the operational adjustment of the stabilization system? This article considers the possibilities of summation circuits to ensure the optimality of the settings of the stabilization system.

Aleksandr Ablesimov , Aleksandra Nosova — Fri, 29 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0200

The technology for determining the location of an object on the ground is the foundation for building vehicle navigation systems and surveillance systems after them. In general, such navigation systems make it possible to determine the coordinates of the vehicle’s location and its directional angle, find the direction to the destination, and calculate the coordinates of observation objects. The technical implementation of systems can be quite diverse – from implementation on mechanical elements to their implementation using microelectronics elements. The main factors in the development of navigation systems are the transition to computer-integrated systems and resource-saving technologies. This will make it possible to increase the accuracy of navigation information, obtain a significant gain in the weight and size characteristics of the equipment, reduce its energy consumption and increase reliability. The possibility of modernization of odometrical navigation systems based on integrated computer technologies is considered.

Victor Sineglazov , Mykhailo Savchenko — Fri, 29 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0200

Underwater object detection poses unique challenges due to issues such as poor visibility, small densely packed objects, and target occlusion. In this paper, we propose a comprehensive framework for underwater object detection based on improved YOLOv8, addressing these challenges and achieving superior performance. Our framework integrates several key enhancements including Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization for image preprocessing, a lightweight GhostNetV2 backbone, Coordinate Attention mechanism, and Deformable ConvNets v4 for improved feature representation. Through experimentation on the UTDAC2020 dataset, our model achieves 82.67% precision, 81.02 % recall, and 86.3 % mean average precision at IoU = 0.5. Notably, our framework outperforms the YOLOv8s model by a significant margin, while also being 15.1% smaller in terms of computational complexity. These results underscore the efficiency of our proposed framework for underwater object detection tasks, demonstrating its potential for real-world applications in underwater environments.

Мykola Filyashkin, Oleg Smirnov — Wed, 27 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0200

To study the accuracy characteristics, a strapdown inertial navigation system is represented as a set of kinematic equations and equations of a mathematical model of the Earth. Based on the mathematical model in the Matlab-Simulink package, a modeling complex was created, consisting of subsystems of the reference and studied navigation system, subsystems of the reference and simplified model of the Earth and a subsystem of primary information sensors. In navigation subsystems, kinematic equations of inertial navigation algorithms are solved, and matrices of direction cosines are formed. In the subsystems of the Earth model, the parameters of the Earth's spheroid and the acceleration of gravity are calculated. The sensor models are developed based on the characteristics of low-cost microelectromechanical sensors. The purpose of the study was to assess methodological and instrumental errors as the difference in the dead reckoning signals of the flight navigation parameters of the reference and studied navigation systems. Methodological errors of the system are played up by simplifications of the parameters of the earth's spheroid, and instrumental errors are caused by errors in inertial sensors.

Volodymyr Shutko , Nazar Fomenko , Olena Klyuchko — Wed, 27 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0200

Currently in Ukraine, taking into account the development of the latest mobile Internet standards (3G/4G), it is possible to access the Internet even in remote places. There are no wired Internet due to the high cost of installation and maintenance. At the same time, a huge amount of equipment appeared on the market, which allows you to assemble systems for obtaining high-quality Internet over a wireless communication line. This refers to various types of antennas in the 900–2700MHz range, modems and routers with 3G/4G support. The locations of 3G/4G Internet base stations are in district centers predominantly. So, there is a situation that remote villages, settlements do not have the opportunity to get access to high-speed Internet. This especially harms the work of biological stations and rural medical clinics, which are spread over the territory of Ukraine and are often connected in a network. The purpose of the work is to describe briefly some practical results of our own development of providing high-quality mobile communication in some remote places of the territory of the state. To provide this service in remote areas of Ukraine, signal amplification is necessary. In addition, there is a problem with the propagation of radio waves over the rough terrains for the ultra short wave and microwave ranges. To solve this problem, it is proposed to use an external antenna with a high amplification factor, which will be installed at a height of at least 6 meters above the ground to reduce the impact of interference on the path of radio waves.

Using the hybrid algorithm, the optimal structure and values of weight coefficients are determined. The hybrid algorithm consists of a genetic algorithm and a gradient algorithm (Adam). 150 topologies of capsule neural networks were evaluated, with an average evaluation time of one generation taking 10 hours. Chromosomes and weights are stored in the generation folder. The chromosome storage format is JSON, using the jsonpickle library for writing. Also, when forming a new generation, chromosome files from previous generations are used as a "cache". If a chromosome of the same structure exists, the accuracy is assigned immediately to avoid unnecessary training of neural networks. As a result of using the hybrid algorithm, the optimal topology and parameters of the capsule neural network for classification tasks have been found.

Filter for confidential information

Oleksii Bezymiannyi , Nataliia Shapoval — Wed, 27 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0200

The research is conducted on the topic of preventing various types of attacks on large language models (LLM), as well as preventing the leakage of confidential data when working with local text databases. Research is performed by implementing a filter and testing it on an example that aims to filter requests to the model. The proposed filter does not block the request to the LLM, but removes its parts, which is much faster and makes it impossible for an attacker to pick up a request, as it destroys its structure. The filter uses word embedding to evaluate the request to the LLM, which together with the use of a hash table for forbidden topics, speeds up the operation of the filter. To protect against attacks such as prompt injection and prompt leaking attack, the filter uses the method of randomly closing the sequence. During the testing process, significant improvements were obtained in maintaining the security of data used by LLM. Currently, the use of such filters in product projects and startups is an extremely important step, but there is a lack of ready-made implementations of filters with similar properties. The uniqueness of the filter lies in its independence from LLM and the use of semantic similarity as a fine-tuned way of classifying queries.

Daniil Vedmiediev , Nataliia Shapoval — Wed, 27 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0200

The division into groups of text messages is considered, which can be useful when building a personalized approach in different systems. Тo solve this problem, the Embedded Word2Vec was proposed. To enhance the division into groups, the suggestion of employing mini-batch k-means is presented, offering a method with lower computational demands. This recommendation aligns with the practical need for efficient and scalable clustering methods, especially when dealing with large datasets. Furthermore, the proposed metric based on the greatest common sequence is highlighted as a valuable tool for evaluating the similarity of texts. This metric not only serves as a means to assess clustering quality but also underscores the methodological approach of directly working with text data. The combination of these techniques presents a comprehensive framework for robust and effective text clustering, with potential applications in diverse fields, such as personalized system interactions and information retrieval.

Comparison of Two Methods for Measuring Speech Intelligibility

Arkadiy Prodeus, Oleksandr Dvornyk, Anton Naida , Oleksandr Grebin — Wed, 27 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0200

Comparing of the full speech transmission index method and full formant-modulation method of speech intelligibility measurement has been made. The methods were compared according to the accuracy of the measurements under the conditions of noise interference. The dependences of the STI estimates errors on the signal-to-noise ratio and on the duration of the test signals were obtained by means of computer simulation. It is shown that the accuracy of speech transmission index estimates is practically the same for both methods. In particular, it is shown that the use of test signals with a duration of 4 s is minimally acceptable and provides an estimation error of 0.03. Using 8 s and 16 s test signals reduces the speech transmission index estimation error to 0.02 and 0.01, respectively, for a wide signal-to-noise ratio range from minus 28 dB to plus 28 dB. The obtained results are close to those for the case of the joint action of noise and reverberation.

Aircraft Fuel Measurement System Based on Hydrostatic Pressure Sensor

Oleg Smirnov, Mykola Filyashkin — Wed, 27 Sep 2023 00:00:00 +0300

The construction of an aircraft fuel-measuring system based on hydrostatic pressure sensors is considered, which makes it possible to determine the fuel residue in the aircraft tanks during its evolutions. With the evolution of aircraft, measuring the fuel residue in existing fuel metering systems using float and capacitive fuel level sensors has a rather complex electromechanical design and significant weight and size characteristics. This together affects the reliability of such systems as a whole and leads to significant methodological errors in determining the remaining fuel during maneuverable flight. The proposed system using hydrostatic pressure sensors and a computer can significantly increase the efficiency of existing fuel metering systems, and can also be used for calibration tests both on the ground and in flight.
