Abstract
A pattern recognition method of dynamic time warping of two sequences of feature sets onto each other is provided. The method includes the steps of creating a rectangular graph having the two sequences on its two axes, defining a swath of width r, where r is an odd number, centered about a diagonal line connecting the beginning point at the bottom left of the rectangle to the endpoint at the top right of the rectangle and also defining r-1 lines within the swath. The lines defining the swath are parallel to the diagonal line. Each array element k of an r-sized array is associated with a separate array of the r lines within the swath and for each row of the rectangle, the dynamic time warping method recursively generates new path values for each array element k as a function of the previous value of the array element k and of at least one of the current values of the two neighboring array elements k-1 and k+1 of the array element k. The latter step of recursively generating new path values is repeated for all of the rows of the rectangle and the value of the middle array element is selected as the output value sought.
