Abstract:
1. A method comprising: (a) defining a plurality of reduced set vectors; (b) using a previously unused reduced set vector from the plurality of reduced set vectors to determine if an image patch does not correspond to a specified pattern; (d) if it is determined from act (b) that the image patch does not correspond to the specified pattern, classifying the image patch as not corresponding to the specified pattern; and (e) if it is not determined from act (b) that the image patch does not correspond to the specified pattern, repeating act (b) until either it is determined that the image patch does not correspond to the specified pattern or until all of the vectors in the set of reduced of vectors have been used (f) if all of the vectors in the set of reduced of vectors have been used, and it has not been determined that the image patch does not correspond to the specified pattern, using additional means to classify the specified pattern.
