Multiresolution Techniques in Pattern Recognition

Clay Scott

Abstract

We use the expression "pattern recognition" to refer to a wide range of applications. In this talk I will distinguish two ways of thinking about patterns, and discuss what pattern recognition looks like in each setting. The first case is typical of many applications in signal and image processing as well as computer vision, while the second case is more common in statistics, artificial intelligence, and data mining. I will provide examples of how multiresolution techniques can be used to do pattern recognition in both cases. The first example examines the problem of object recognition in cluttered scenery, while the second looks at recent developments in the analysis of decision trees. Finally, I will look at connections between the two perspectives, and discuss possibilities for future work.

Time and Place: Thu., Apr. 15, at 4 pm in 3609 Engr. Hall.       *** NOTE SPECIAL DAY, TIME, & PLACE ***
