What is a pattern What is a pattern Lecture 1: Introduction to Pattern Recognition 1. Examples of patterns in nature. 2. Issues in pattern recognition and an example of pattern recognition 3. Schools in pattern recognition 4. Pattern theory Crystal patterns at atomic and molecular levels Their structures are represented by 3D graphs and can be described by deterministic grammar or formal language Constellation patterns in the sky. The constellation patterns are represented by 2D (often planar) graphs Human perception has strong tendency to find patterns from anything. We see patterns from even random noise --- we are more likely to believe a hidden pattern than denying it when the risk (reward) for missing (discovering) a pattern is often high. Biology pattern ---morphology Landmarks are identified from biologic forms and these patterns are then represented by a list of points. But for other forms, like the root of plants, Points cannot be registered crossing instances. Applications: biometrics, computational anatomy, brain mapping, … Pattern discovery and association Statistics show connections between the shape of one’s face (adults) and his/her Character. There is also evidence that the outline of children’s face is related to alcohol abuse during pregnancy. We may understand patterns of brain activity and find relationships between brain activities, cognition, and behaviors Patterns of brain activities: Patterns with variations: 1. Expression –geometric deformation 2. lighting --- photometr
