Up to now, the problem of recognizing printed characters of different fonts with high speed and reliability is not solved. The team of authors carried out research of images of printed characters of different fonts for the purpose of revealing the signs necessary and sufficient for recognition of signs by a computer. These features were a certain combination of directions, formed by elements of the contours of signs. According to the developed program for the computer, the image of each printed character stored in the computer's memory device was scaled up, uncharacteristic signs of signs, certain defects were eliminated and the contour of the sign was highlighted. The contour was represented in the form of a sequence of definite directions formed by its elements. All printed characters of the Russian alphabet of different fonts were recognized by a certain technique, despite the different types of printed fonts, for certain possible defects.

The role of technical inspection as source of definition of an actual state of protecting designs is considered. Not destroying methods of definition of durability and thermal properties of materials of external walls are resulted. The thermographic method of not destroying control is considered, the list of thermal characteristics which can be defined with its use is presented. Modern requirements to thermal characteristics of external walls are presented and the materials most often meeting in protecting designs are considered. It is considered as a possible variant of increase of thermal properties of protecting designs - the device of hinged ventilated facades. The scheme of carrying out of a damage control, a substantiation of economic efficiency of the device of hinged ventilated facades and other technical advantages concerning other ways of warming of facades is presented.
