ABSTRACT:
A pattern recognition system is disclosed that uses a predetermined minimal number of comparison pixels in a pattern recognition process for input image recognition. For each pixel within a prescribed frame, a probability of the existence of a reference pattern is calculated by a probability calculation means. These probability values are used by a entropy calculation means to calculate pixel entropy values. Pixels with a high entropy value are then extracted and designated as comparison pixels for the pattern recognition operation. Comparison means compares these comparison pixels with corresponding pixels of an image pattern, and determines which of the reference patterns has a highest probability of being the image pattern.
