8th Semester Special Retake, August 2020
Course Code: CSE 459 Course Title: Pattern Recognition
Practice:
Q.1 a. Discuss the importance of feature extraction for the classification of images. Can
we predict how well the system will generalize to novel patterns?
b. Write short notes on (any one):
i. Feature vector
ii. Curse of Dimensionality
c. Explain main pattern recognition system.
Q.2 a. Derive the algorithm of Support Vector Machine (SVM)? What is the use of a
SVM?
b. Explain the following (any one):
i. Standard deviation and covariance
ii. Bayes’ Theorem with an example
Q.3 a. Why bother about Probabilities? What are the basic differences between
Minimax and Neyman-Pearson Criterion?
c. Prove that not all distance are metric, but all metric are distance.
Q.4 a. Describe shortly freeman chain code with an example.
b. What do you mean by Clustering? Explain the concepts of K-Mean
clustering in pattern recognition system with examples.
Q.5 a. Write short notes on (any two):
i. Miss rate
ii. F1 score
iii. Manhattan distance
b. Write the basic steps of template matching with an example.

Q.6 a. What do you mean by Machine Learning (ML)? Describe shortly about Machine
Learning approaches with an example.
b. Write the basic steps of Otsu method with an example.
Q.7 a. Write some causes of creating edges. Describe the canny edge detector. What
are the steps involved in edge detection using this detector? Use diagrams where
necessary in your explanation.
Q.8 a. Discuss shortly about main pattern recognition areas.
Q.9 a. Distinguish between Classification and Recognition.
b. How can we adjust the complexity of the model?
c. Can we predict how well the system will generalize to novel patterns?
Q.10 a. What are the basic differences are between inter-class variability and intra-class
variability?
b. What properties make an image / object easy to recognize?
c. Discuss advantages and disadvantages of binary, gray scale and color images.
