2
WHAT IS A PATTERN? A pattern is an abstract object, or a set of
measurements describing a physical object.
3
WHAT IS A PATTERN CLASS? A pattern class (or category) is a set of
patterns sharing common attributes.
A collection of “similar” (not necessarily identical) objects.
During recognition given objects are assigned to prescribed classes.
4
WHAT IS PATTERN RECOGNITION?
Theory, Algorithms, Systems to put Patterns into Categories
Relate Perceived Pattern to Previously Perceived Patterns
Learn to distinguish patterns of interest from their background
5
HUMAN PERCEPTION
Humans have developed highly sophisticated skills for sensing their environment and taking actions according to what they observe, e.g., Recognizing a face. Understanding spoken words. Reading handwriting. Distinguishing fresh food from its smell.
We would like to give similar capabilities to machines.

PROBLEM WITH GRID BY GRID COMPARISON
Time to recognize a pattern - Proportional to the number of stored patterns ( Too costly with the increase of number of patterns stored )

HUMAN AND MACHINE PERCEPTION
We are often influenced by the knowledge of how patterns are modeled and recognized in nature when we develop pattern recognition algorithms.
Research on machine perception also helps us gain deeper understanding and appreciation for pattern recognition systems in nature.
Yet, we also apply many techniques that are purely numerical and do not have any correspondence in natural systems.
14
PATTERN RECOGNITION Two Phase : Learning and Detection.
Time to learn is higher. Driving a car
Difficult to learn but once learnt it becomes natural.
Can use AI learning methodologies such as: Neural Network. Machine Learning.
15
LEARNING
How can machine learn the rule from data?
Supervised learning: a teacher provides a category label or cost for each pattern in the training set.
Unsupervised learning: the system forms clusters or natural groupings of the input patterns.

Classification (known categories) Clustering (creation of new categories)

PATTERN RECOGNITION PROCESS
Data acquisition and sensing: Measurements of physical variables. Important issues: bandwidth, resolution , etc.
Pre-processing: Removal of noise in data. Isolation of patterns of interest from the background.
Feature extraction: Finding a new representation in terms of features.
Classification Using features and learned models to assign a
pattern to a category. Post-processing
Evaluation of confidence in decisions. 19
CASE STUDY
Fish Classification: Sea Bass / Salmon.
Problem: Sorting incoming fish on a conveyor belt according to species.
Assume that we have only two kinds of fish: Sea bass. Salmon.
20
Salmon
Sea-bass
CASE STUDY (CONT.)
What can cause problems during sensing? Lighting conditions. Position of fish on the conveyor belt. Camera noise. etc…
What are the steps in the process?1. Capture image.2. Isolate fish 3. Take measurements 4. Make decision

Feature Extraction
Pre-processing
“Sea Bass” “Salmon”
CASE STUDY (CONT.)
Pre-Processing: Image enhancement Separating touching or occluding fish. Finding the boundary of the fish.
23
HOW TO SEPARATE SEA BASS FROM SALMON?
Possible features to be used: Length Lightness Width Number and shape of fins Position of the mouth Etc …
Assume a fisherman told us that a “sea bass” is generally longer than a “salmon”.
Even though “sea bass” is longer than “salmon” on the average, there are many examples of fish where this observation does not hold.
24
HOW TO SEPARATE SEA BASS FROM SALMON? To improve recognition, we might have to use
more than one feature at a time. Single features might not yield the best performance. Combinations of features might yield better performance.

DECISION BOUNDARY
27
DECISION BOUNDARY (CONT.)
28More complex model result more complex boundary
DECISION BOUNDARY (CONT.)
29Different criteria lead to different decision boundaries
DECISION BOUNDARY (CONT.) What if a customers find “Sea bass” in there
“Salmon” can?
We should also consider costs of different errors we make in our decisions.
30
DECISION BOUNDARY (CONT.)
For example, if the fish packing company knows that: Customers who buy salmon will object vigorously
if they see sea bass in their cans. Customers who buy sea bass will not be unhappy
if they occasionally see some expensive salmon in their cans.
How does this knowledge affect our decision?
31
CASE STUDY (CONT.)
Issues with feature extraction:Correlated features do not necessary improve
performance. It might be difficult to extract certain features. It might be computationally expensive to
extract many features.Missing Features.Domain Knowledge.
