Pattern Recognition (eBook, PDF)

Concepts, Methods and Applications

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The book provides a comprehensive view of Pattern Recognition concepts and methods, illustrated with real-life applications in several areas (e.g. engineering, medicine, economy, geology). It is appropriate as a textbook of Pattern Recognition courses and also for professionals and researchers who need to apply Pattern Recognition techniques. These are explained in a unified and innovative way, with multiple examples enhancing the clarification of concepts and the application of methods. Recent results in the main Pattern Recognition areas (Statistical Classification, Neural Networks and Structural Recognition) are presented. A CD offered with the book includes datasets and software tools, making it easier for the reader to follow the taught matters in a hands-on fashion right from the start.

Rezensionen

From the reviews of the first edition: "The book gives an overview about the wide field of pattern recognition. ... The book is primarily addressed to undergraduate and graduate students of engineering and computer science courses. It gives a good introduction into the field of clustering and pattern recognition." (Hans-Peter Altenburg, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1009, 2003) "'Patern Recognition' presents methods and techniques that are suitable for practical application in areas including robot assisted manufacture, medical diagnostic systems, forecast of economic variables, exploration of Earth's resources, and satellite data analysis. ... This book provides comprehensive, non-specialist coverage of pattern recognition. Although primarily aimed at undergraduate and graduate engineering and computer science students, its clear and practical coverage also makes it suitable for physicians, biologists, geologists and economists." (Assembly Automation, Vol. 22 (4), 2002)
