Recognition Technology and Pattern Analysis

This is a text-only outline of a family of Web pages rooted here. The intent of this site is to provide not only links to various existing resources, but also contact information for the pattern analysis community, in hopes that we can learn from each other, share research and data, and find opportunities to consult or collaborate on projects.
