Summary

Pattern theory is a field in applied mathematics that analyzes all types of signals that the world presents to us. For each chapter, the authors present a real-world problem-a class of signals that we want to model. Then they present the basic mathematical tools needed before moving into the model. Then the model is compared with the original data. Each chapter ends with a set of exercises. The book covers patterns in text, sound, and images. Discussions of images include recognizing characters, textures, nature scenes, and human faces. Includes algorithms and some computer code. There will be a website for the book with materials (data, code, etc.) needed for the exercises.
