Context. The multidimensional nature of the processed data in modern computer vision systems requires new approaches to theconstruction of effective feature spaces that simplify processing by summarizing the available information. Structural methods ofimage recognition use descriptions of visual objects in the form of sets of key point descriptors as sets of numerical vectors of highdimension. The main tool for reducing the dimension is the presentation of data in the form of a system of their blocks and a statisticalstudy of such data structures, which in terms of recognition should display the generalized properties of an object as a set of itsfragments. In this connection, there is problem of studying the features of the applied application and the characteristics of the blockrepresentation model in the aspect of its use to determine the relevance of descriptions and classify data within the base of referenceimages.Objective. Perform statistical estimation of the importance of making classification decisions on the basis of the calculation ofthe relevance of object descriptions for the model of block representation of descriptors of key points of images.Method. Methods are proposed for distinguishing descriptions based on the application of the block representation model of thedata descriptors of key points of images using the criteria of mathematical statistics and information theory tools.Results. The main result of the article is the confirmation that the use of classical statistical criteria for analyzing empirical datain the form of structural descriptions of images makes it possible to determine the quality factor of the constructed feature space fordistinguishing visual objects when they are recognized in computer vision systems. The introduction of the block representationmodel and statistical analysis for the values of descriptors of key features of images contributes to the efficiency of the process ofrecognizing visual objects, which is confirmed by the improvement in the level of difference by increasing the fragment size in theconstructed description chain structure.Conclusions. The use of a variety of statistical criteria gave an identical effect on the significance of the differences in the empiricaldescriptions of visual objects in the constructed feature space, which underlines the objectivity of the study. The implementedmodel of block representation of data retains the distinguishing properties of a structural description with the effect of a significantimprovement in the speed of classification decision making.The scientific novelty of the study is the improvement and statistical substantiation of models for making decisions about theclass of visual objects based on the calculation of the relevance of their descriptions with references using a block representation ofdescriptors of key points of images.The practical significance of the work is confirming the advisability of introducing a block structure for the block description ofan object as an effective approach to solving the problem of recognition with examples of images for implementation in computervision systems.
