Abstract

The disclosure relates to the recognition of sequences of multidimensional images and, notably, of image signals. The disclosed device includes, for each of said sequences to be recognized, a first circuit for the correlation of vectors representing the signal with a masking vector determined from the vectors representing the sequence to be recognized, producing a series of values corresponding to the degree of similarity of the two correlated vectors, a second circuit for the correlation of a sequence of the series of values with a reference sequence determined from the vectors forming said sequence to be recognized, producing values that correspond to the degree of similarity of the two correlated sequences, and a circuit for deciding on the validity of the recognition, by comparison of the values corresponding to the degree of similarity of the two correlated sequences with a threshold value.
