A neural network approach to a classic image recognition problem

Scenes from ldquoWherepsilas Waldo?rdquo are used as data sets to explore a method of pattern recognition using local histograms and neural networks. The method consists of splitting the image into a number of sub images, selecting random training images, training the neural networks and then passing the whole set of puzzles through the image to find the character Waldo. Results are shown which demonstrates that this method is effective for finding the pattern found in Waldopsilas shirt.
