A pattern identification apparatus for identifying one of a plurality of classes defined in advance, to which data of a pattern identification target belongs, comprises a read unit adapted to read out, from a storage unit in correspondence with each of the plurality of classes, a projection rule to a hyperplane which approximates a manifold corresponding to the class in a feature space an input unit adapted to input identification target data; a calculation unit adapted to calculate, for each class, a projection result obtained by projecting the input identification target data to the hyperplane which approximates the manifold corresponding to each of the plurality of classes, on the basis of the projection rule; and an identification unit adapted to identify, on the basis of the projection result of each classes calculated by said calculation unit, one of the plurality of classes to which the identification target data belongs. |
