Pattern Recognition In Softcomputing Paradigm

Download or read book Pattern Recognition in Soft Computing Paradigm written by Nikhil R. Pal and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2001 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pattern recognition (PR) consists of three important tasks: feature analysis, clustering and classification. Image analysis can also be viewed as a PR task. Feature analysis is a very important step in designing any useful PR system because its effectiveness depends heavily on the set of features used to realise the system. A distinguishing feature of this volume is that it deals with all three aspects of PR, namely feature analysis, clustering and classifier design. It also encompasses image processing methodologies and image retrieval with subjective information. The other interesting aspect of the volume is that it covers all three major facets of soft computing: fuzzy logic, neural networks and evolutionary computing.
