ABSTRACT

This paper presents a review of pattern matching techniques. The application areas for pattern matching are extensive, ranging from CAD systems to chemical analysis and from manufacturing to image processing. Published techniques and methods are classified and assessed within the context of three key issues: pattern classes, similarity types and matching methods . It has been shown that the techniques and approaches are as diverse and varied as the applications. Keywords: pattern matching, pattern classes, similarity measures, matching methods.
