Synopses & Reviews
A review of the background material needed for correlation pattern recognition for graduate students and practitioners.
Synopsis
This book provides a needed review of the diverse background material needed for correlation pattern recognition, developing the signal processing theory, the pattern recognition metrics, and the practical application know-how from basic premises. Includes case studies of current interest, such as face and fingerprint recognition. For graduate students and practitioners.
Synopsis
This book provides a needed review of the diverse background material needed for correlation pattern recognition and develops the signal processing theory, the pattern recognition metrics, and the practical application know-how from basic premises. It shows both digital and optical implementations. It also contains state-of-the-art technology presented by the team that developed it and includes case studies of significant current interest, such as face and fingerprint recognition. Suitable for advanced undergraduate or graduate students taking courses in pattern recognition theory, whilst reaching technical levels of interest to the professional practitioner.
