Abstract.

Several algorithms have been proposed in the past to solve the problem of binary pattern recognition. The problem of finding features that clearly distinguish two or more different patterns is a key issue in the design of such algorithms. In this paper, a graph-like recognition process is proposed that combines a number of different classifiers to simplify the type of features and classifiers used in each classification step. The graph-like classification method is applied to ancient music optical recogniti on, and a high degree of accuracy has been achieved.
