Methodologies of Pattern Recognition

Abstract : The book presents the papers that were given at a conference on methodologies of pattern recognition. The titles include: implications of interactive graphic computers for pattern recognition methodology; statistical analysis as a tool to make patterns emerge from data; descriptive pattern analysis techniques, potentialities and problems; sequential pattern recognition systems; biological and mechanical pattern recognition; the automatic classification of fingerprints; cluster formation at various perceptual levels; recognition, machine recognition and statistical approaches; pattern recognition applied to the counting of nerve fiber cross-sections and water droplets; recognition by imitating the process of pattern generation; and the evaluation of the statistical classifier.
