There are many algorithms for, and many applications of classification and discrimination (grouping of a set of objects into subsets of similar objects where the objects in different subsets are different) in several diverse fields [2-15, 23, 24], ranging from engineering to medicine, to econometrics, etc. Some examples are automatic target recognition (ATR), fault and maintenance-time recognit...

Correlation is a robust and general technique for pattern recognition and is used in many applications, such as automatic target recognition, biometric recognition and optical character recognition. The design, analysis, and use of correlation pattern recognition algorithms require background information, including linear systems theory, random variables and processes, matrix/vector methods, de...

In recent years, automatic recognition of vehicle logos has become one of the important issues in modern cities. This is due to the unlimited increase of cars and transportation systems that make it impossible to be fully managed and monitored by human. In this research, an automatic real-time logo recognition system for moving cars is introduced based on histogram manipulation. In the proposed...

With the demands of globalization, multilingual speech is increasingly common in conversational telephone speech, broadcast news and internet podcasts. Therefore, automatic spoken language recognition has become an important technology in multilingual speech related applications. For example, automatic spoken language recognition has been used as a preprocessing component for spoken language tr...
