This article describes a workstation designed to create programs of pretreatment images for subsequent detection and recognition. It considers the methods and algorithms for solving the inverse problem of image processing, which arise, for example, with aerial drones being not equipped with a gyro stabilization system of aerial cameras. These include a problem of defocus and blurring recovery in the resulting images. A developed image processing software includes: defocusing and blurring recovery (an inverse problem solution); filtration; "joining frames" for the synthesis of the frame (merging into panorama) from the fragments. The article presents the interface of software support for most of the above algorithms and the results of studies using the numerical experiment.

This paper is based on the results of investigations of computer-aided design facilities for systems software and software for terrestrial and on-board facilities of aerial surveillance and Earth remote sensing. The article presents a review of typical airplanes used for carrying navigation equipment and aerial surveillance along with the investigation of intelligence equipment, key factors of airplane navigation and hardware properties which determine the quality of intelligence data obtained in different modes of aerial surveillance, special features of intelligence data preprocessing in-flight, peculiarities of ground information system for processing intelligence data and preparing intelligence reports. Configuration of a special AWS was justified.

This paper covers the research results oand analysis of methods and means of technical assessment of the condition of Earth remote sensing (ERS) systems during the test and on-stream periods. The obtained results are to provide a basis for further development of testing equipment for Earth remote sensing systems; moreover, they will provide a huge base of technical documentation (standards, guidelines for aircraft equipment testing etc.) for estimation of basic parameters which characterize the efficiency of application of digital observation equipment and their technical condition. The authors proposed a technique of online testing of the transfer function of remote sensing equipment during the on-stream period with a subsequent compensation of defocusing.

This article is based on the results of the development of method and tools for production of the requirements for navigational equipment, information support and system of aerial reconnaissance aircraft (AC) flight, providing the required quality of recorded aerial films. The research of this development process was carried out considering principal (theoretical) restraints of aerial reconnaissance complexes’ abilities and information technologies, solving problems of recording and recognition of aerial reconnaissance data. Aerial photo equipment (APE), APE stabilizing systems for different carriers and methods of defocused and blurred image reconstruction were also considered in this article.

This paper covers the study of developing a method and means of creating requirements for navigation equipment, aircraft control systems and aerial reconnaissance systems to ensure the required quality of aerial films. In their research the authors attempted to apply system analysis to airborne prospecting complexes created on the basis of using aerial cameras, particularly digital ones. The goals of this analysis are: support of flight task development for aerial reconnaissance aircrafts in service; support of prospective complexes development subject to real-time use.
