classify input data for object detection, classification, and defect detection
pattern recognition is the process of classifying input data into objects, classes, or categories using computer algorithms based on key features or regularities. pattern recognition has applications in computer vision, image segmentation, object detection, radar processing, speech recognition, and text classification, among others.
there are two classification methods in pattern recognition: supervised and unsupervised classification. to apply supervised pattern recognition, you need a large set of labelled data; otherwise you can try to apply an unsupervised approach.
pattern recognition using machine learning and deep learning
you can apply machine learning or deep learning techniques with matlab® in pattern recognition applications.
a machine learning approach consists of preparing your data, manually extracting features to differentiate between classes in the data, and training a machine learning model to classify new objects. common machine learning techniques or models for object detection include aggregate channel features (acf), svm classification using histograms of oriented gradient (hog) features, and viola-jones. these methods are all available in matlab®.
a deep learning approach consists of preparing your data and training the deep neural net, and testing the trained model on new data. common deep learning models used for pattern recognition are r-cnn and yolo v2, which are also available in matlab. in recent years, deep learning approaches have become more popular than machine learning ones.
the main differences between machine learning and deep learning approaches are that deep learning models require a larger training dataset and more training time, whereas machine learning models can be trained with a smaller dataset, may be easier to interpret and debug if not working as expected, but yield lower accuracy than a deep learning model trained on a large set of labelled data.
a common application of pattern recognition in engineering is defect detection in manufacturing to improve product quality while reducing production costs in industrial applications. the figure below shows how : image capture, image processing to improve quality, and ai modeling to classify the object as good versus faulty.
supervised classification
supervised classification methods of pattern recognition apply supervised learning algorithms to input data, pairing manually labeled training data with desired outputs.
in computer vision, supervised pattern recognition techniques are used for optical character recognition (ocr), object detection, and object classification.
unsupervised classification
unsupervised classification methods work by finding hidden structures in unlabeled data using segmentation or clustering techniques. common unsupervised classification methods include:
- k-means clustering
- gaussian mixture models
- hidden markov models
for object detection and image segmentation, unsupervised pattern recognition techniques are also used, especially with tasks in which it’s difficult to obtain sufficient labelled data for applying supervised object detection and classification.
