ABSTRACT:
The invention is a method for facilitating recognition of objects, using a discriminant analysis technique to classify the objects into predetermined categories. A learning base comprising objects that have already been recognized and classified into predetermined categories is formed with each category being defined by variables of known statistical characteristics. A classification function using a discriminant analysis technique, which allows distribution among the categories the various objects to be classified from measurements available on a number of parameters, is constructed by reference to the learning base. This function is formed by determining the probabilities of the objects belonging to the various categories by taking account of uncertainties about the parameters as intervals of variable width. Each object is then assigned, if possible, to one or more predetermined categories according to the relative value of the probability intervals.
