Method and System for Invariant Pattern Recognition
Granted: August 13, 2015
Application Number:
20150227849
An adaptive pattern recognition system optimizes an invariance objective and an input fidelity objective to accurately recognize input patterns in the presence of arbitrary input transformations. A fixed state or value of a feature output can nonlinearly reconstruct or generate multiple spatially distant input patterns and respond similarly to multiple spatially distant input patterns, while preserving the ability to efficiently evaluate the input fidelity objective. Exemplary networks,…
