| The
purpose of the journal Pattern Recognition is the official journal of the
Pattern Recognition Society. The Society was formed to fill a need for information
exchange among research workers in the pattern recognition field. Because this
work in pattern recognition presently appears in widely spread articles and as
isolated lectures in conferences in many diverse areas, the purpose of the journal
Pattern Recognition is to give all of us an opportunity to get together
in one place to publish our work. The journal will thereby expedite communication
among research scientists interested in pattern recognition. |
