Title:
PATTERN RECOGNITION APPARATUS, PATTERN RECOGNITION METHOD, AND PATTERN RECOGNITION PROGRAM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2007/063705
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
In pattern-matching between a binary or ternary reference image and an input gray image, a pattern recognition method makes it possible to more quickly obtain the results equal to those of a pattern recognition method in which a plurality of binary reference images are generated assuming the various binarized threshold values that can be set and the distances between these reference images and a gray image are compared. A first cumulative histogram of the pixels of the gray image made correspond to the pixels in the high density region of the binary reference image and a reverse second cumulative histogram of the pixels of the gray image made correspond to the pixels in the low density region of the reference image are generated and added. The minimum value of the added cumulative histogram is compared with a threshold value, thereby determining the presence and absence of a pattern.
