Pattern identification method, apparatus, and program
First Claim
1. A pattern identification method of identifying a pattern of input data by hierarchically extracting features of the input data, characterized by comprising:
- a first feature extraction step of extracting a feature of a first layer;
an analysis step of analyzing a distribution of a feature extraction result in the first feature extraction step; and
a second feature extraction step of extracting a feature of a second layer higher than the first layer on the basis of the distribution analyzed in the analysis step.

Abstract
Pattern recognition capable of robust identification for the variance of an input pattern is performed with a low processing cost while the possibility of identification errors is decreased. In a pattern recognition apparatus which identifies the pattern of input data from a data input unit (11) by using a hierarchical feature extraction processor (12) which hierarchically extracts features, an extraction result distribution analyzer (13) analyzes a distribution of at least one feature extraction result obtained by a primary feature extraction processor (121). On the basis of the analytical result, a secondary feature extraction processor (122) performs predetermined secondary feature extraction.
