Why Pattern Recognition?

Pattern Recognition, as the name suggests is "recognizing the patterns" in simple terms. We see flowers around us and we classify them into different categories based on the number of petals, color, etc, depending on the pattern. Similarly, machines can also try to identify patterns and classify them, right? Pattern Recognition is an important scientific discipline whose goal is to identify patterns, categorizing the objects into various classes or categories. These objects could be images or signal waveforms or any measures that need to be classified.
