The subject of research in the article is the module of automatic segmentation and subtraction of the background, which is created, based on the sequential application of methods of image preprocessing and modified method of interactive segmentation of images and implemented in the system of optical monitoring of the air situation. The aim of the work is to develop an image segmentation module to increase the efficiency of recognition of an air object type on a video image in the system of visual monitoring of the air environment by means of qualitative automatic segmentation. To solve this problem, a modified interactive algorithm in the mode of automatic selection of an object in the image, which allows more accurately, without the participation of the operator, to determine the foreground pixels of the image for further recognition of the type of airborne object. The following tasks are solved in the article: the analysis of existing methods of binarization of color images for semantic segmentation of images, which are used in image recognition systems; the development of a pipeline of methods for automatic segmentation of images in the system of optical monitoring of the air environment. In the work, the following methods are used: methods of digital image processing, methods of filtering and semantic segmentation of images, methods of graph analysis. The following results are obtained: the results of image processing with the proposed module of segmentation and background subtraction confirm the performance of the module procedures. The developed pipeline of methods included in the module demonstrates correct segmentation in 93% of test images in automatic mode without operator participation, which allows us to conclude about the effectiveness of the proposed module. Conclusions: The implementation of the developed module of segmentation and background subtraction for the system of optical monitoring of the air environment allowed to solve the problem of segmentation of video images for further recognition of aerial objects in the system of optical monitoring of the air environment in automatic mode with a high degree of reliability, thus increasing the operational efficiency of this system.
