Office of Research Faculty & Staff Publications

Over the last decade, tremendous advances have been made in the general area of pattern recognition techniques, devices, and algorithms. We have had the distinct pleasure of witnessing this remarkable growth as evidenced through their dissemination in the previous Optical Engineering special sections we have jointly edited— January 1998, March 1998, May 2000, and January 2002. Twenty-six papers were finally accepted for this latest special section, encompassing the recent trends and advancements made in many different areas of pattern recognition techniques utilizing algorithms, architectures, implementations, and devices. These techniques include matched spatial filter based recognition, hit-miss transforms, invariant pattern recognition, …
