Engineering Foundation Conference on Pattern Information Processing Held at Warrenton,Va., 23-27Feb 72.

摘要

The major purposes of the conference were twofold:Assess the current position of the USA in this field;force a confrontation between the major areas of pattern information processing,which are (a) robotics, (b) biomedical pattern processing, (c) picture processing and remote sensing. It was concluded that: (1) There is a threat to U.S. technical leadership in pattern information processing by other countries;fundamental problems are shared by the major areas;an automation research council is needed to serve as an assembly point to integrate effort and enhance information transfer.
