Introduction to Pattern
Recognition
Pattern recognition is the process of identifying underlying
structure in data.
It involves the classification of data based on knowledge of
similar patterns in the past. This recognition can occur across
various domains, including images, speech, and handwriting,
with applications ranging from security systems to medical
diagnosis.
