The basis of solving the problem of automatic takeoff and landing of helicopters is the problem of orientation of the aircraft relative to the landing site. Existing approaches are based on a combination of satellite positioning technology and sensors. Such solutions have a significant drawback - low positioning accuracy. In this regard, it is necessary to develop new methods that provide low computational complexity and high positioning accuracy relative to the landing site. The article provides an overview of modern solutions in the field of autonomous control of aircraft. The concept of a method for solving the problem of orientation of a helicopter relative to the landing pad is proposed. The approach is based on the use of a camera following the heliport sign. Determining the landing site is based on the theory of fuzzy sets and complex linguistic variables. Complex linguistic variables have three-dimensional membership functions, thus avoiding the problem of uncertainty. Simplification of the computational process is achieved through the use of projections of sections of three-dimensional membership functions.

Today one of the topical issues is the practical application of the theory of pattern recognition, face recognition, including the definition of a person in the image and its subsequent identification. Such tasks include the extraction of indirect signs of interaction between users of social networks. By identifying the user's face and further searching it in photographs and video files in other profiles, an expansion of the list of basic data available to the analyst is achieved. It is known that the system of computer vision, which is able to recognize faces in a natural and artificial environment under any conditions, has not been implemented to date. One of the obstacles is the variation of the scene - the area where the face is being identified. The article proposes a model of an intelligent information system using bion-spirited methods for preprocessing images in order to expand the range of allowable scene variations.

In this paper, the synthesis of a trajectory regulator for a mini-helicopter are described. We propose a method to hardware-in-the-loop simulation using simulator AerosimRC. The simulation results are showed. The tasks for the application of the method are pointed.
