Abstract
A reflective array compressor for a fast pattern recognition system. The system includes a combination of digital and analog processing circuitry which allows the system to achieve super computing processing speeds within an open personal computer architecture. The system receives a bit map which is representative of the unknown pattern, such as a picture of an unknown person. The bit map could have multiple people in it--no other system has "faces in the crowd" ability. The bit map associated with the unknown pattern is then pre-processed and compared against a plurality of known patterns in a database to determine how well the unknown pattern correlates with the known patterns. The reflective array compressor employs concave input and output transducers, and curved reflectors.
