Title: Modern Pattern Recognition Techniques and Their Roles in Security Checks and Commercial Applications

Abstract:
Pattern recognition is a very active inter-disciplinary field of computer science, engineering and applied mathematics. It involves the digitization of images and objects, their processing by the computer, extraction of salient features, and sophisticated clustering and classification techniques. This talk summarizes the modern methods involved, computer simulation of human expertise, and their applications to face recognition, palm print recognition, and handwriting recognition. The latest results on handwriting recognition will also be presented.
