Research in the field of pattern recognition both in theo retical
terms and in the area of appl ication continues to flourish.
Pattern recognition is a fairly diverse field involving researchers
whose primary disciplines spread over at least a half dozen fields.
Possibly because of the great diversity of backgrounds but a common
interest in certain broad areas of application, the field has grown
so rapidly and yet seems to promise at least a similar growth rate
for the future. This book is a collection containing some of the
papers that were presented at the N. A. T. O. Advanced Study
Institute held in Bandol, France, September 1975. The main purpose
of the institute was to present material which would provide a
basic background in the field. Thus, survey papers covering
syntactic methods, picture processing, classification theory, and
speech recognition were presented. This should have provided the
listener (and we hope now, the reader) with an acquaintance with
the basic tools, a look at some of the appl ications and an
appraisal of how each of the particular topics will evolve. A more
recent addition to the pattern recognition "family" is the work in
the areas of economics and group choice. Since the process of
recognizing and inter preting patterns is so fundamental, it
probably is no surprise when a particular discipline is discovered
to be amenable to the already developed techniques."
This book is the outcome of the successful NATO Advanced Study
Institute on Pattern Recognition Theory and Applications, held at
St. Anne's College, Oxford, in April 1981., The aim of the meeting
was to review the recent advances in the theory of pattern
recognition and to assess its current and future practical
potential. The theme of the Institute - the decision making aspects
of pattern recognition with the emphasis on the novel hybrid
approaches - and its scope - a high level tutorial coverage of
pattern recognition methodologies counterpointed with contrib uted
papers on advanced theoretical topics and applications - are
faithfully reflected by the volume. The material is divided into
five sections: 1. Methodology 2. Image Understanding and
Interpretation 3. Medical Applications 4. Speech Processing and
Other Applications 5. Panel Discussions. The first section covers a
broad spectrum of pattern recognition methodologies, including
geometric, statistical, fuzzy set, syntactic, graph-theoretic and
hybrid approaches. Its cove,r age of hybrid methods places the
volume in a unique position among existing books on pattern
recognition. The second section provides an extensive treatment of
the topical problem of image understanding from both the artificial
intelligence and pattern recognition points of view. The two
application sections demonstrate the usefulness of the novel
methodologies in traditional pattern 'recognition application
areas. They address the problems of hardware/software
implementation and of algorithm robustness, flexibility and general
reliability. The final section reports on a panel discussion held
during the Institute.
