  • Patent number: 7603274
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining the possibility of pattern recognition of time series signal independent of a pattern recognition ratio is provided. The method for determining the possibility of pattern recognition of time series signal includes extracting a time forward feature and a time reversed feature from an input signal having a time series pattern, generating time forward alignment and time reversed alignment by using the time forward feature and the time reversed feature, comparing the time forward alignment with the time reversed alignment to compute a likelihood of pattern recognition, and determining that the input signal can be recognized if the likelihood is larger than a predetermined threshold value.
