In modern integrated monitoring systems and systems of automated control of technological processes there are several essential algorithms and procedures for obtaining primary information about an object and its behavior. The primary information is characteristics of static and moving objects: distance, speed, position in space etc. In order to obtain such information in the present work we proposed to use photos and video detectors that could provide the system with high-quality images of the object with high resolution. In the modern systems of video monitoring and automated control there are several ways of obtaining primary data on the behaviour and state of the studied objects: a multisensor approach (stereovision), building an image perspective, the use of fixed cameras and additional lighting of the object, and a special calibration of photo or video detector.In the present paper the authors develop a method of determining the distances to objects by analyzing a series of images using depth evaluation using defocusing. This method is based on the physical effect of the dependence of the determined distance to the object on the image from the focal length or aperture of the lens. When focusing the photodetector on the object at a certain distance, the other objects both closer and farther than a focal point, form a spot of blur depending on the distance to them in terms of images. Image blur of an object can be of different nature, it may be caused by the motion of the object or the detector, by the nature of the image boundaries of the object, by the object’s aggregate state, as well as by different settings of the photo-detector (focal length, shutter speed and aperture).When calculating the diameter of the blur spot it is assumed that blur at the point occurs equally in all directions. For more precise estimates of the geometrical parameters determination of the behavior and state of the object under study a statistical approach is used to determine the individual parameters and estimate their accuracy. A statistical approach is used to evaluate the deviation of the dependence of distance from the blur from different types of standard functions (logarithmic, exponential, linear). In the statistical approach the evaluation method of least squares and the method of least modules are included, as well as the Bayesian estimation, for which it is necessary to minimize the risks under different loss functions (quadratic, rectangular, linear) with known probability density (we consider normal, lognormal, Laplace, uniform distribution). As a result of the research it was established that the error variance of a function, the parameters of which are estimated using the least squares method, will be less than the error variance of the method of least modules, that is, the evaluation method of least squares is more stable. Also the errors’ estimation when using the method of least squares is unbiased, whereas the mathematical expectation when using the method of least modules is not zero, which indicates the displacement of error estimations. Therefore it is advisable to use the least squares method in the determination of the parameters of the function.In order to smooth out the possible outliers we use the Kalman filter to process the results of the initial observations and evaluation analysis, the method of least squares and the method of least three standard modules for the functions after applying the filter with different coefficients.

An important element of modern automated systems of management, monitoring and control of remote access modules is information about the state and behavior of a static or moving object. In many existing and planned monitoring systems processing graphical image of the object is used, which is obtained by the photo detectors and, thus, the possibility of determining geometric and kinematic parameters of a moving object is significantly reduced due to various aspects of image acquisition, one of such aspects is blur. In the present work, algorithms of the primary information processing obtained on the basis of the graphic image study of a movable or stationary object are improved using the methods and procedures of statistical analysis that allow approximating theoretical results to experimental results. The use of statistical analysis and probabilistic approach increase the accuracy of the determined characteristics, applicability of calculation procedures of the state parameters (size, shape, distance from the observer) and behavior of the object (speed and direction) and reduce the computational complexity of the final algorithm. The Bayesian estimation was obtained based on the use of quadratic, rectangular and simple loss function under normal, Laplace, uniform and lognormal distribution of errors, which allow drawing conclusions about the intervals of various models and algorithms to determine the parameters of different objects. When using the statistical approach it is taken into account that the errors are random in nature and may be considered a variety of probability density functions (normal, lognormal, Laplace and uniform distributions to minimize risks under different loss functions (quadratic, rectangular, linear), and then evaluated using the method of least squares, method of least modules and the Bayesian approach. When performing the evaluation the properties of unbiased, consistency and efficiency are important. Sustainable procedure should have the following properties: for the selected model, the procedure should be close to optimum efficiency; the results should be close to nominal, calculated for the adopted model; the effect of large errors must be eliminated. We use the minimax method of Huber, which assumes that the best estimate will not be worse than in the case of the “least favorable” density distribution. Decision rule is based on the definition of such density that minimizes the information of Fischer that is the variance function of the contribution of the sample. In the present study we offer the procedure of finding a theoretical function based on the assumption that the errors are subjected to the known laws of distribution: normal (Gaussian), Laplacian, uniform, lognormal. This is a significant advantage of the proposed methodology compared to the one used in the previous works of the authors, it is proposed here to use the Bayesian estimation of the measurements as unknown theoretical function that needs to be obtained closer to the observational measurements.
