Abstract

In recent years our very complex and technically oriented society has created a situation in which more people and organizations have become concerned with handling information and fewer with handling materials. The need for improved information systems has become more conspicuous, since the world is generating more information in its various forms and information is an essential element in decision making. One of the major problems in the design of modern information systems is automatic pattern recognition. This has been the subject of investigation by many diverse groups, including research workers dealing with electronic computers, automatic controls, information theory, applied physics, statistics, psychology, biology, physiology, medicine, and linguistics. Each group emphasizes certain aspects of the problem. This chapter attempts to discuss some engineering principles for the design of pattern recognition systems.
