Stefan, I figured this out long ago as part of an font-independent OCR design project. An initial pass over all interesting patterns constructed a decision tree, where a group of key pixels was examined, which then led to which was the next group of pixels to examine, etc. The initial pass sorted things out as to balance the prospects of each group to as near 50:50 as possible. Each leaf on the decision tree corresponded to identifying a particular character. The groups of pixels tended to be arranged in line segments to see if structures in particular parts of a character crossed the line segment.
Of course this approach made presumptions regarding the nature of images, e.g. that pixels were either black or white. Your presumptions would be different, so your method would be different. The key here is to figure out what your identifying prototypes would look like, and then look at what it takes to both create and to use them. *Steve Richfield* On Sun, Aug 8, 2021 at 9:20 AM stefan.reich.maker.of.eye via AGI < [email protected]> wrote: > I'm dreaming up the ultimate image recognizer.
