ABSTRACT:
My system provides summaries of shapes and patterns that are manifested by the states of an array of elements, and methods for comparing them for correspondence. A very basic embodiment provides these summaries in the following manner. The array provides a Cartesian coordinate system address for each element. Each element of the array is polled, and if the element is part of the pattern, described here as being marked, it delivers its address to a processor. The processor calculates the distance from each marked element to a central location, described as a convergence hub, and delivers these distance values to a distributor. The distributor provides a summary distribution, which specifies the number of times a given distance was observed (or numerical adjustments thereof). This distribution is stored and used for comparison against alternative distributions, which provides a basis for assessing similarity or difference among various shapes and patterns.
