Presentation / Conference Contribution
CORTÉS, X., SERRATOSA, F. and MORENO-GARCÍA, C.F. 2015. An interactive model for structural pattern recognition based on the Bayes classifier. In De Marsico, M., Figueiredo, M. and Fred, A. (eds.) Proceedings of 4th International conference on pattern recognition applications and methods (ICPRAM 2015), 10-12 January 2015, Lisbon, Portugal, vol 1. Setubal: SCITEPRSS [online], pages 240-247. Available from: https://doi.org/10.5220/0005201602400247

This paper presents an interactive model for structural pattern recognition based on a naïve Bayes classifier. In some applications, the automatically computed correlation between local parts of two images is not good enough. Moreover, humans are ver...
