This paper presents the results of a study aimed at developing a method for semantic segmentation of thermal images using a modified neural network algorithm that differs from the original neural network algorithm by a higher speed or processing graphic information. As part of the study, a modification of the DeepLabv3+ semantic segmentation neural network algorithm was carried out by reducing the number of parameters of the neural network model, which made it possible to increase the speed of processing graphic information by 48% – from 27 to 40 frames per second. A training method is also presented that allows to increase the accuracy of the modified neural network algorithm; the accuracy value obtained was 5% lower than the accuracy of the original neural network algorithm.

Monolithic reinforced concrete structures are widely used in construction practice. When concreting massive structures, technological and organizational difficulties may arise in ensuring the continuity of the concrete mix, which leads to the need to organize working joints. Studies conducted earlier show a decrease in strength characteristics in this area and the bearing capacity of the entire structure. Known and practical solutions to the problem cause additional labor, material and time costs. In this paper, we propose a method for installing a technological seam caused by unplanned interruptions in concreting for technological and organizational reasons, based on previously conducted experimental and pilot studies by the author of this article. The proposed method consists in the fact that, when a break occurs, subsequent concreting is carried out with a break from the previously concreted section, while a stepped profile is formed with the help of fasteners, as a result of which a space is organized bounded by the surface of the first and second concreted sections and a formwork of a shape close to pyramidal, similar to the run-in fines, during the construction of brickwork. After holding the concrete of both sections and dismantling the cut-offs, a concrete mixture of the same class on Portland cement is laid within the free space of the applied slag-alkali solution with the characteristics: slag with a basicity modulus of more than 1.0; an alkaline solution with a hydrogen index level above 12.0. The technological features of performing forced seam concreting according to the proposed method are given.

The reuse of ash and slag waste from coal combustion is of great economic and environmental importance. The most material-intensive area of their reuse is the stabilization of ash and slag mixtures with Portland cement for the construction of layers of highways. A technical understanding of the processes of structure formation in stabilized ash and slag mixtures makes it possible to regulate the final properties and quality of the layers of road clothing and the roadbed. Strengthening of ash and slag mixtures with Portland cement makes it possible to increase the physical and mechanical properties of ash and slag mixtures: strength, frost resistance, density, etc.

The article presents the results of a numerical experiment comparing the accuracy of neural network recognition of objects in images using various types of data set extensions. It describes the need to expand data sets using adaptive approaches in order to minimize the use of image transformations that may reduce the accuracy of object recognition. The author considers such approaches to data set expansion as random and automatic augmentation, as they are common, as well as the developed method of adaptive data set expansion using a reinforcement learning algorithm. The algorithms of operation of each of the approaches, their advantages and disadvantages of the methods are given. The work and main parameters of the developed method of expanding the dataset using the Deep-Q-Network algorithm are described from the point of view of the algorithm and the main module of the software package. Attention is being paid to one of the machine learning approaches, namely reinforcement learning. The application of a neural network for approximating the Q-function and updating it in the learning process, which is based on the developed method, is described. The experimental results show the advantage of using data set expansion using a reinforcement learning algorithm using the example of the Squeezenet v1.1 classification model. The comparison of recognition accuracy using data set expansion methods was carried out using the same parameters of a neural network classifier with and without the use of pre-trained weights. Thus, the increase in accuracy in comparison with other methods varies from 2.91% to 6.635%.

The transition from scheduled maintenance and repair of equipment to maintenance based on its actual technical state requires the use of new methods of data analysis based on machine learning. Modern data collection systems such as robotic unmanned complexes allow generating large volumes of graphic data in various spectra. The increase in data volume leads to the task of automating their processing and analysis to identify defects in high-voltage equipment. This article analyzes the features of using computer vision algorithms for images of high-voltage equipment of power plants and substations in the infrared spectrum and presents a method for their analysis, which can be used to create intelligent decision support systems in the field of technical diagnostics of equipment. The proposed method uses both deterministic algorithms and machine learning. Classical computer vision algorithms are applied for preliminary data processing in order to highlight significant features, and models based on unsupervised machine learning are applied to recognize graphic images of equipment in a feature space optimized for information space. Image segmentation using a spatial clustering algorithm based on the density distribution of values taking into account outliers allows detecting and grouping image fragments with statistically close distributions of line orientations. Such fragments characterize certain structural elements of the equipment. The article describes an algorithm that implements the proposed method using the example of solving the problem of detecting defects in current transformers, and presents a visualization of its intermediate steps.
