Summary

In today’s digital era, patterns are omnipresent, shaping many aspects of our lives. These patterns can be physically observed or computationally identified through sophisticated algorithms. In the digital realm, patterns are often represented as vectors or matrices of feature values. With the rapid evolution of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) techniques have emerged as powerful tools for analyzing and processing these features.


Machine learning, a core branch of AI, empowers computers to make decisions with minimal human intervention by leveraging pattern data. Deep learning, a subfield of ML, has gained significant attention for its ability to handle complex, high-dimensional data. The use of ML and DL models for extracting and analyzing meaningful features from text, images, videos, or sensor data is the foundation of pattern recognition (PR).


Pattern recognition is a critical enabler for a wide range of applications, including computer vision, sensor data analysis, natural language processing, speech recognition, robotics, bioinformatics, and beyond. This Special Issue aims to showcase cutting-edge research and innovative methodologies that advance the field of PR through ML and DL approaches.

    Abstract Side-scan sonar (SSS) is essential for acquiring high-resolution seafloor images over large areas, facilitating the identification of subsea objects. However, military security restrictions and the scarcity of subsea targets limit the availability of SSS data, posing challenges for Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) research. This paper presents an approach that uses Cycle-Consistent Generative Adversarial Networks (CycleGAN) to augment SSS images of key subsea objects, such as shipwrecks, aircraft, and drowning victims. The process begins by constructing 3D models to generate rendered images with realistic shadows from multiple angles. To enhance image quality, a shadow extractor and More >

    Abstract Traffic congestion plays a significant role in intelligent transportation systems (ITS) due to rapid urbanization and increased vehicle concentration. The congestion is dependent on multiple factors, such as limited road occupancy and vehicle density. Therefore, the transportation system requires an effective prediction model to reduce congestion issues in a dynamic environment. Conventional prediction systems face difficulties in identifying highly congested areas, which leads to reduced prediction accuracy. The problem is addressed by integrating Graph Neural Networks (GNN) with the Lion Swarm Optimization (LSO) framework to tackle the congestion prediction problem.

    (This article belongs to the Special Issue: Machine Learning and Deep Learning-Based Pattern Recognition)
    Abstract License plate recognition in haze-affected images is challenging due to feature distortions such as blurring and elongation, which lead to pixel displacements. This article introduces a Displacement Region Recognition Method (DR2M) to address such a problem. This method operates on displaced features compared to the training input observed throughout definite time frames. The technique focuses on detecting features that remain relatively stable under haze, using a frame-based analysis to isolate edges minimally affected by visual noise. The edge detection failures are identified using a bilateral neural network through displaced feature training. The training converges bilaterally… More >
