Abstract. An approach to improving the efficiency of the image pattern recognition system in monitoring and sensing complexes, and in unmanned vehicles based on the use of an additional classification feature is proposed. Tasks to be solved in sensing complexes when constructing an object recognition system are listed. To form an additional characteristic of the object, the value of the fractal dimension (fractal signature) of its contour image is used. Results of fractal analysis of traffic objects images are presented. Fractal analysis of images of territories affected by natural disasters is demonstrated. To construct a dimension map and a fractal dimension histogram, the application of the Minkowski dimension is proposed. The results of experimental verification of the proposed methods and algorithms operability are presented.

Keywords: object recognition, artificial neural networks, fractal analysis, fractal dimension, natural disasters
