Abstract
Over the last decade, tremendous advances have been made in the general area of pattern recognition techniques, devices, and algorithms. We have had the distinct pleasure of witnessing this remarkable growth as evidenced through their dissemination in the previous Optical Engineering special sections we have jointly edited— January 1998, March 1998, May 2000, and January 2002. Twenty-six papers were finally accepted for this latest special section, encompassing the recent trends and advancements made in many different areas of pattern recognition techniques utilizing algorithms, architectures, implementations, and devices. These techniques include matched spatial filter based recognition, hit-miss transforms, invariant pattern recognition, joint transform correlator JTC based recognition, morphological processing based recognition, neural network based recognition, wavelet based recognition, fingerprint and face recognition, data fusion based recognition, and target tracking, as well as other techniques. These papers summarize the work of 70 researchers from eight countries.
