Deviation of forestry equipment from the designated route leads to environmental, legal, and economic issues, such as soil damage, tree destruction, and fines. Autonomous route correction systems are essential to address these problems. The aim of this study is to develop a system for deviation detection and trajectory calculation to return to the designated route. The system determines the current position of the equipment using global positioning sensors and an inertial measurement unit. The Kalman filter ensures positioning accuracy, while the A* algorithm and trajectory smoothing methods are used to compute efficient routes considering obstacles and turning radii. The proposed solution effectively detects deviations and calculates a trajectory for returning to the route.

The relevance of the research is determined by the need to solve complex optimization problems under conditions of high dimensionality, noisy data, and dynamically changing environments. Classical methods, such as genetic algorithms, often encounter the problem of premature convergence and fail to effectively adapt to changes in the problem. Therefore, this article focuses on identifying opportunities to enhance the flexibility and efficiency of evolutionary algorithms through integration with artificial neural networks, which allow for dynamically adjusting search parameters during the evolutionary process. The leading approach to addressing this problem is the development of a hybrid system that combines genetic algorithms with neural networks. This approach enables the neural network to adaptively regulate mutation and crossover probabilities based on the analysis of the current state of the population, preventing premature convergence and accelerating the search for the global extremum. The article presents methods for dynamic adjustment of evolutionary parameters using a neural network approach, reveals the principles of the hybrid system's operation, and provides results from testing on the Rastrigin function. The materials of the article hold practical value for further research in the field of optimization, particularly in solving problems with many local minima, where traditional methods may be ineffective. The application of the proposed hybrid model opens new perspectives for developing adaptive algorithms that can be used in various fields of science and engineering, where high accuracy and robustness to environmental changes are required.

This paper is devoted to the application of the Winograd method to perform the wavelet transform in the problem of image compression. The application of this method reduces the computational complexity and also increases the speed of computation due to group processing of pixels. In this paper, the minimum number of bits at which high quality of processed images is achieved as a result of performing discrete wavelet transform in fixed-point computation format is determined. The experimental results showed that for processing fragments of 2 and 3 pixels without loss of accuracy using the Winograd method it is enough to use 2 binary decimal places for calculations. To obtain a high-quality image when processing groups of 4 and 5 pixels, it is sufficient to use 4 and 7 binary decimal places, respectively. Development of hardware accelerators of the proposed method of image compression is a promising direction for further research.

The technology of applying the variational principle in problems of development and testing of complex technical systems is described. Let there be a certain set of restrictions imposed on random variables in the form of given statistical moments and/or in the form of a restriction by some estimates from above and below the range of possible values of these random variables. The task is set: without knowing anything except these restrictions, to construct for further research, ultimately, for assessing the efficiency of the complex technical system being developed, the probability distribution function of its determining parameter. By varying the functional, including Shannon entropy and typical restrictions on the distribution density function of the determining parameter of a complex technical system, the main stages of constructing the distribution density function are described. It is shown that, depending on the type of restriction, the constructed distribution density function can have an analytical form, be expressed through special mathematical functions, or be calculated numerically. Examples of applying the variational principle to find the distribution density function are given. It is demonstrated that the variational principle allows obtaining both the distribution laws widely used in probability theory and mathematical statistics, and specific distributions characteristic of the problems of developing and testing complex technical systems. The technology of applying the variational principle presented in the article can be used in the model of managing the self-diagnostics process of intelligent control systems with machine consciousness.
