Pattern Recognition

Statistical pattern recognition relates to the use of statistical techniques for analysing data measurements in order to extract information and make justified decisions. It is a very active area of study and research, which has seen many advances in recent years. Applications such as data mining, web searching, multimedia data retrieval, face recognition, and cursive handwriting recognition, all require robust and efficient pattern recognition techniques.

This book collects the experience of scientists from different parts of the world who have researched diverse areas connected directly or indirectly with pattern recognition. The book will be a treasure trove of knowledge and inspiration for further research in the field of pattern recognition.
