An algorithm is proposed for estimating the coordinates of nodes of deformed lattices of quasi-periodic textures without preliminary detection of typical texture elements. Examples are provided to demonstrate high computational efficiency of the algorithm on the basis of real halftone images containing quasi-periodic textures.

A wavelet in the form of the first odd wave prolate spheroidal function is proposed for the wavelet transform of a non-uniform 2 D image and the formation of clusters of wavelet coefficients on it. Methods for calculating the wavelet function, clustering the field of wavelet coefficients, and constructing their corresponding optimal rectangular windows in the image are described. The high efficiency of the methods and the algorithm implementing them under various real operating conditions of the optoelectronic device has been shown by modeling studies

The problem of classification of multispectral space images of forest vegetation is considered. Features based on the wavelet transform and a classification method involving consideration of the significance of each feature are investigated. Dependence of the classification results on the wavelet function, the level of transformation, and the parameter of the classification method - the number of segments of the range of features - is given. Results of classification of multispectral images of six classes of forest vegetation in images obtained by a Rapid Eye shooting system are presented.

This paper presents a comparison of the capabilities of natural and artificial intelligences in problems of identifying operators of information-processing systems and their functional state based on the features of writing handwritten passwords. The cause of the significant spread in the subject identification error probability as determined. It is concluded that at the present level of knowledge, the best result achieved in solving the problem by artificial intelligence systems is close to that potentially possible. It is demonstrated that the use of features of reproducing handwritten passwords is suitable for recognizing the functional state of operators of human-machine systems in professional activities.

The article defines the role of the agricultural micro-business in the modern economy. The author reveals the reasons for reducing the number of subjects of agricultural micro and consequences of this process. Small business creates the widest range of goods and services worth tens of trillions of rubles. However, when developing and supporting the market relations, it is necessary to think not only about profit. In today's economy, there is a great number of issues that will contribute to more efficient development of agricultural microbusiness. How to connect the initiative of an enterprising man with the interests of society? As to the specific circumstances of life to create an atmosphere of healthy, creative competition? These and many other questions in the very near future will determine in our society, professional and moral character of the middle class - the basis of stability and material well-being of Russia. Perspective directions of development of entrepreneurship in municipal areas, small rural areas is the creation of small innovative enterprises, making it possible not only to create new jobs, but also improve the competitiveness of the local the local economy. The functions of the agricultural business are: food security, in the field-based due to meet the primary needs of the population in food, and self-employment, reducing unemployment and improving living standards in rural areas. The study produced findings that development of agricultural micro will contribute to the sustainable improvement of the well-being of the population in rural areas, the formation of a middle class, strengthening national security and the dynamic development of the entire economy in the long run.

The authors explore the agricultural economic sector and find out the necessity in updating the information, technological and technical agribusiness base. The problem of competitiveness and import substitution at the Russian food market is very urgent. The authors have analyzed activities of modern agricultural enterprises and declare about the key factor of agribusiness efficiency and agricultural production competitiveness that assumes foundation of professional and qualified industrial working groups. The authors observe some problems related to the weak professional staff training, turnover of senior specialists and staff due to not stable economic situation in the agricultural sector; imperfection of assessment methods for training needs in agribusiness and lack of finance. To solve the problems mentioned above, the author suggest to build the efficient system of further training. The paper describes the modern situation in the system of further training for agribusiness specialists in Novosibirsk region; deals with the problems preventing the development of further training in the region and reveals the outlooks of further training development.

This article shows the results of the evaluation of educational activities developed and built at the Engineering faculty of Yakutsk State Agricultural Academy. The evaluation was carried out according to the criteria of students’ free time. The authors used such methods as questionnaire and observation. The long-term experience in engineer training shows that students realize the necessity to be highly qualified professionals, social active, communicative, self-educated, creative and to have organizational abilities in order to be competitive at the labour market. The problem of self-actualizing professional individual being is not developed in a good way in spite of its theoretical and applied relevance. The problem of student’s self-actualization development is relevant for theoretical and applied research. This research explores some contradictions. The analysis of psychological and pedagogical publications and empirical experience has shown that many researchers speak about the significance of self-actualization, but in fact, the development of self-actualization takes place as a spontaneous process. The university system focuses on reproductive training where the development of students’ personality is not sufficient. The authors see the problem of personality development as a significant one whereas the pedagogical conditions and methods for stimulation of professional self-actualization are still missing.

In the article the author attempts to highlight the reason for extremely low efficiency of higher education in modern Russia which and why a great number and long-lasting reforms designed for improving the situation in national higher education have turned out to be useless. Considering the system of higher education, the author outlines three main levels. The first level assumes educational process; the second level is regarded as educational institutions; and the third level is the level of regulation and supervision of higher education by the Ministry of Education. The priority of educational process, the professors and students belong to, is visible because its quality defines the assessment of each component of the system as well as the whole system. The efficiency of educational process is adequately defined by the quality of students’ education; the efficiency of higher institutions is defined by the efficiency of professors and students; the results of efforts made by the Ministry of Education should be closely connected with the results of subordinated educational institutions. The author analyses the structure of the SHE (the System of Higher Education - the SHE in short) and shows the relations of the components in the current situation in Russia: the reform of national higher education is efficient enough. Moreover, the reform is impossible because the interest conflicts among the components of the SHE have turned it into the service system.

This article reviews the connection between values and education. It is shown that since the ancient Greece and in modern times, the values are translated and formed during the education point on one side. On the other side, the education itself forms the values. The changes happening in society during the switch to the six technological mode, as well as the changes of forms and contents of education (distance learning, open learning, e-learning and lifelong learning) make the transformation of interconnections of education and values inevitable. Whereas in the modern-times paradigm the value of education is viewed by orientation onto government in society, contemporary paradigm views such projection to corporations and personality.
