A pattern recognizing apparatus comprises a feature vector extractor to extract a feature vector of an input pattern; a converting unit to convert the feature vector extracted by the feature vector extractor into the feature vector which is effective for selection between categories; a classification processing unit for calculating an inner product with a predetermined basic vector for the converted vector after the conversion was performed by the converting unit; and a category selecting unit for selecting and outputting a category group to which the input pattern belongs with reference to a predetermined category table on the basis of the result of the calculation by the classification processing unit. <IMAGE> |
