Pattern recognition, wherein a sequence of feature vectors is formed from a digitized incoming signal, the feature vectors comprising feature vector components, and at least one feature vector is compared with templates of candidate patterns by computing a distortion measure. According to the invention, a control signal based on at least one time-dependent variable of the recognition process is formulated, and the distortion measure is computed using only a subset of the vector components of the feature vector, the subset being chosen in accordance with said control signal. This reduces the computational complexity of the computation , as the dimensionality of the vectors involved in the computation is effectively reduced. Although such a dimension reduction decreases the computational need, it has found not to significantly impair the classification performance. |
