Zusammenfassung:Final results are presented from a mathematical study to improve the overall performance of pattern recognition devices, such as for reconnaissance photograph interpretation. The specific results of this study are: (1) the design of practical pattern recognition systems requires mathematical procedures to account for statistical interdependencies and redundancy. (2) Inadequate experimental data sets are a common situation in practice and quantitative error formulas from sampling theory should be employed to assess and monitor the inadequacy. (3) A data reduction and combining technique was developed and tested, which accounts for the redundancy and data inadequacy. (4) A method of evaluating competing recognizer designs was developed from statistical sampling theory.
