While there are numerous existing technologies
that employ pattern recognition tools, including speech
and voice recognition, character recognition and even weather
forecasting, there is vast potential for further innovation.
The world is filled with patterns and recognising them only
requires that they be perceived and remembered.
Biometric identification is of increasing
significance in the security industry, and in the retail
sector, the ability to recognize people's faces is set to
change the nature of customer relations.
Fire and malfunction detection in large industrial
complexes can be detected by patterns of sensor-read measurements.
Pattern recognition software is just starting to be utilized
in this area, and can significantly enhance the performance
of these systems.
