/Pattern-Recognition

A hands-on playground for Pattern Recognition — exploring edges, boundaries, and dimensions with Python. From Canny curves to PCA plots, this repo turns theory into experiments you can see.

Pattern Recognition

This repository is a structured archive of my explorations in **Pattern Recognition**. It covers foundational techniques in image analysis and dimensionality reduction, along with practical implementations from scratch in Python.

Repository Structure

The repository is organized by topic, with each notebook focusing on a specific concept.
Current contents include:

  1. Edge Detection – Basic techniques to detect edges in images.
  2. Canny Edge Detection – Multi-stage edge detection algorithm with noise reduction.
  3. Boundary Detection using Contour Tracing – Identifying object boundaries in binary images.
  4. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) – Dimensionality reduction for high-dimensional datasets.
  5. Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) – Supervised dimensionality reduction and classification.

Additional files include sample images, outputs, and supporting visuals for experiments.

Motivation

The goal of this repository is to:

  • Recreate fundamental pattern recognition algorithms from scratch.
  • Understand why and how each technique works.
  • Build a reference that connects theory with practical implementations.

This serves as a resource for myself and others who want a hands-on approach to mastering pattern recognition.

Tools and Libraries

  • Python
  • NumPy
  • OpenCV
  • Matplotlib
  • Jupyter Notebooks

How to Use

  • Clone the repository.
  • Navigate to the notebook corresponding to the topic you want to learn.
  • Each notebook is well-commented and includes step-by-step code.
  • Experiment with different parameters and images to deepen understanding.

More methods (like clustering, classification, and advanced feature extraction) will be added as the project grows.
