This increase has also been accompanied by a blurring of the boundaries between the different applications of vision, making it truly interdisciplinary. In this book we have attempted to put together state-of-the-art research and developments in segmentation and pattern recognition. The first nine chapters on segmentation deal with advanced algorithms and models, and various applications of segmentation in robot path planning, human face tracking, etc. The later chapters are devoted to pattern recognition and covers diverse topics ranging from biological image analysis, remote sensing, text recognition, advanced filter design for data analysis, etc. BT - Vision Systems SP - Ch. 13 UR - https://doi.org/10.5772/4963 DO - 10.5772/4963 SN - PB - IntechOpen CY - Rijeka Y2 - 2024-03-28 ER -
