Methods and Principles of Using a Priori Knowledge in Recognition Tasks

Abstract

The using of a priori knowledge is an important part of the development of pattern recognition systems. Often the proper use of a priori knowledge allows bring quality of recognition algorithm to the level of practical usage. The main advantage of using a priori knowledge is that the classification algorithms are prone to errors, whereas a priori statements are always true. In the article will be show how to improve the quality of recognition system using a priori knowledge. The evolution of approaches to the use of knowledge considered by the example of the task of object detection, the advantages and disadvantages of these approaches analyzed. The basic principles of using a priori knowledge in recognition algorithms formulated.
