Abstract

An overview of the visual pattern recognition process and associated key issues are presented in this chapter. The varying scales and shapes, inter-class similarity, large number of features, and complex backgrounds are issues related to visual pattern recognition. The book focuses on these issues. The chapter introduces different algorithms addressing these issues.

A mathematician, like a painter or poet, is a maker of patterns. If his patterns are more permanent than theirs, it is because they are made with ideas
