Abstract:
1. A pattern identifying apparatus in which a plurality of processing target regions are arranged in a reticular pattern at a predetermined interval S 1 , S 2 , . . . , S N in each dimensional direction of input data in N dimensions, and that identifies a predetermined pattern from each processing target region, the apparatus comprising: an input device that inputs data in the N dimensions; a processor; a plurality of memories whose number is a product of numbers that are assigned to respective dimensions to hold input data obtained by the input device; a memory access controller that writes the input data in the plurality of memories in accordance with a predetermined rule and reads, in parallel, data at the same position in each of the processing target regions relative to a reference point, which is provided in each of the processing target region; wherein a feature amount is calculated using a plurality of sets of data that are read in parallel by the memory access controller; and wherein a predetermined pattern is identified using the feature amount calculated, wherein at least one pair of the interval determined for each dimensional direction and a corresponding number of the memories is in a coprime relationship.
