Patent ID: 6928445

Claim:
A computer implemented method object classification comprising: obtaining a set of hypercubes, which comprise a D-tuple of ranges <[L 1 U 1 ], [L 2 U 2 ], . . . [L D U D ],> that define a subspace within the D-dimensional space, said hypercubes representing a set of rules for said object, said object being an entity that is abstract, virtual, physical and/or real that has a vector of ‘D’ selector attributes; associating a cost weight for each hypercube in said set of hypercubes, said cost weight representing the cost weight of a region in D-dimensional space; and building a search tree which is an abstract graph structure having nodes and links for said set of hypercubes by splitting intermediate tree nodes of said search based on a predicted future cost weight of child sub-trees within said search tree, wherein each node in said search tree includes a decision dimension and a splitting threshold.
