Applications of Pattern Recognition

This book covers several major applications of pattern recognition. It includes a brief introduction and review of the two major approachers: the statistical approach; and syntactic approach. It covers topics such as seismic wave interpretation, system reliability problems, medical data analysis, character and speech recognition. This monograph is intended to cover several major applications of pattern recognition. After a brief introduction to pattern recognition in Chapter 1, the two major approaches, statistical approach and syntactic approach, are reviewed in Chapter 2, and 3, respectively. Other topics include the application of pattern recognition to seismic wave interpretation, to system reliability problems, to medical data analysis, as well as character and speech recognition.
