The book treats pattern recognition as an integrated computational system rather than merely a classification problem. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts coverage is strikingly broad for 1981, including image preprocessing, filtering, segmentation, template matching, statistical and nonparametric classification, learning, data structures, search strategies, heuristic methods, knowledge representation, production systems, semantic networks, grammars, and speech and image analysis. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeen from today, the book documents a particularly interesting stage in the development of AI: computers were increasingly being asked not simply to calculate, but to \u003cstrong\u003einterpret\u003c\/strong\u003e.
