Abstract

The subject invention leverages spectral “palettes” or representations of an input sequence to provide recognition and/or synthesizing of a class of data. The class can include, but is not limited to, individual events, distributions of events, and/or environments relating to the input sequence. The representations are compressed versions of the data that utilize a substantially smaller amount of system resources to store and/or manipulate. Segments of the palettes are employed to facilitate in reconstruction of an event occurring in the input sequence. This provides an efficient means to recognize events, even when they occur in complex environments. The palettes themselves are constructed or “trained” utilizing any number of data compression techniques such as, for example, epitomes, vector quantization, and/or Huffman codes and the like.
