The Use of Machine Vision in the Diagnosis of Ripening Strawberries
The problem of image recognition using methods based on statistical solutions can be divided into two classes: parametric and nonparametric. In the first case there is a set of data on the selection of image criteria, in the second such criteria must be found. Taking into account, the possibilities of obtaining initial data for the identification of agricultural objects, the first option is considered in the article. Possibilities of diagnostics of strawberry growth at a stage of its cultivation in hothouse conditions are presented. Several image classifiers that can be used to solve such problems are investigated. An experiment was performed, which has shown the accuracy of the applied algorithms for diagnosis and recognition of berries, which allowed to set thresholds for the detection of ripe berries. A number of berry recognition methods were compared in order to study the accuracy of berry recognition and response to berry growth.

Application of Game Theory to Business Strategy
Game theory is the most popular mathematical tool, the spheres of application of which are economics, finance, management, politics, and military science. The game theory is a multifaceted phenomenon, which, despite being theoretical in nature, highly affects real-life business situations. This article briefly reviews the literature regarding game theory and business and introduces the basic concepts of game theory within the context of business strategy. The authors seek to provide insights into the winning business strategy which includes the elements of competition and cooperation. They determined the main rules of the sequential and parallel interaction in the game. Likewise, the authors focused on the prisoners’ dilemma and highlighted two obvious alternatives that managers can use to ensure compliance with agreement. The four characteristics of a successful business strategy were presented as a prerequisite for decision-making using game theory.
