ANALYSIS OF APPROACHES TO MODELING AND ARCHITECTURAL REPRESENTATION OF IMAGE PROCESSING INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY FROM ONBOARD OPTO-ELECTRONIC OBSERVATION SYSTEMS

Abstract

The subject of the study in the article is the approaches to modeling and architectural representation of information technology. The aim is to analyze modeling approaches and architectural representation of image processing information technology from onboard optoelectronic observation systems. Tasks: to analyze existing approaches to modeling and architectural representation of information technologies, considering the specific features of image processing from onboard optoelectronic systems; to identify the most relevant approaches for the development of such technologies; and to provide recommendations for the application of unified models to ensure effective collaboration among specialists within a common technical environment. The methods used include analytical and empirical methods of comparative research, as well as methods for developing information technologies. The following results were obtained: the main approaches to modeling information technologies were analyzed and systematized, including functional, object-oriented, behavioral, and business modeling. It was determined that the effective design of image processing systems based on onboard optoelectronic platforms requires a comprehensive application of these approaches, depending on the specifics of the tasks. Architectural concepts such as monolithic, microservice, C4 model, TOGAF, and three-tier structures were also reviewed, which enable the formalization of the logic of complex IT solutions. In addition, modern tools for creating diagrams and models were described, supporting the design, verification, and documentation processes of such systems. The results can serve as a methodological basis for the development of information technologies in the field of onboard surveillance and similar complex technical systems. Conclusions: Modeling is a critically important component in the creation of information technologies for image processing from onboard optoelectronic systems. The effectiveness of such IT solutions is ensured through the integrated application of various modeling and architectural design approaches, allowing both technical and business requirements to be addressed. The combination of functional, object-oriented, behavioral, and business models, along with the use of modern architectural solutions and tools, contributes to the creation of reliable, scalable, and adaptive systems. Thus, modeling serves as a key factor in the successful development of complex information technologies in the field of optoelectronic observation.
