MIT OpenCourseWare Brain and Cognitive Sciences 9.913-C Pattern Recognition for Machine Vision, Spring 2002

An example of object detection and recognition application. Classifier networks are used to inspect, sort, identify, and discriminate minute details in biological or machine systems that human beings cannot discern. They are used in everything from inspecting spark plugs to face recognition. Classifier networks are becoming the basis of machine vision systems. The students' projects are designed to give them practical experience, and to ground graduate students in the field so that they are able to perform this type of research.
