Abstract
There are many pattern recognition problems where the pattern’s structural information is important. In these problems, a syntactic method of pattern recognition is of value. In this paper, both parallel syntactic pattern recognition algorithm and optical architecture implementation approaches are described. In particular, the applications of syntactic pattern recognition algorithm to shape classification are illustrated. A number of parallel optical syntactic pattern coding methods, a structural matched filter and associative memory filter, and an optical symbolic substitution syntactic parser are discussed.
