| Pattern recognition is becoming increasingly important in the age of automation and information handling and retrieval.
This book provides the most comprehensive treatment available of pattern recognition, from an engineering perspective. Developed through more than ten years of teaching experience, Pattern Recognition is appropriate for both advanced engineering students and practicing engineers.
Coverage includes:
· Feature generation, including features based on Wavelet Transforms and Fractals.
· Feature selection techniques.
· Design of linear and non linear classifiers, including Bayesian, Multilayer Perceptrons, and RBF networks
. Context-dependent classification, including Dynamic Programming and Hidden Markov Modeling techniques
. Classical approaches, as well as more recent developments in clustering algorithms, such as fuzzy, possibilistic, morphological, genetic, and annealing techniques
. Coverage of numerous, diverse applications, including Image Analysis, Character Recognition, Medical Diagnosis, Speech Recognition, and Channel Equalization
. Numerous computer simulation examples, supporting the methods given in the book, available via the Webb. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
