Digit Recognition

    We will demonstrate the use of the Euclidean distance and the new similarity method for recognition in practical examples, such as digit recognition. Fig. 3.7(a) shows the stored digits used and Fig. 3.7(b) shows the input pattern. The size of the images is 20*20. The calculated similarities are shown in Table 3.3. Using the new similarity, we note that the input pattern is more similar to digit 5 than to any digit.
