Practical Aspects of Face Recognition

Current systems for face recognition techniques often use either SVM or Adaboost techniques for face detection part and use PCA for face recognition part. In this paper, we offer a novel method for not only a powerful face detection system based on Six-segment-filters (SSR) and Adaboost learning algorithms but also for a face recognition system. A new exclusive face detection algorithm has been...

Philosophical Aspects in Pattern Recognition Research

Pattern recognition is the discipline which studies theories and methods to build machines that are able to discover regularities in noisy data. As many of its characterizations suggest, the field is usually considered as a purely engineering discipline. But, in a broad sense, pattern recognition has in fact an interdisciplinary nature. Surprisingly, the attention towards philosophical issues a...

Clinically Practical Applications of Pattern Recognition for Myoelectric Prostheses

The promise of pattern recognition for improved control of upper-extremity powered prostheses has existed for a long time. During the years of offline research and algorithm development, very little experience has been gained with real-time use in clinical and chronic settings. Our group, having the benefit of working with subjects who have undergone targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) surgery,...

Practical Aspects of Alcoholism

to no closing hours, when the yearly convictions for drunkenness touched the 200,000 mark. All the same, it is bad enough. We have a population of well over 100.000 severe alcoholics, and since alcoholism involves the dependents, half a million people at least suffer from its repercussions. One would think that the State, the Profession and the Health Service would do all they could to help. In...
