Wavelet-transform-based composite filters for invariant pattern recognition.

A wavelet-transformation-based optical processor for performing invariant pattern recognition is suggested. It contains a composite filter that consists of several wavelet daughter functions derived from the reference object. The intensity of the correlation peak is determined to be invariant to various deformations of the reference object. Computer simulations show explicitly the promising capability of the new technique. Laboratory experimental results are given.
