Abstract
When the statistics of pixels in an image can be described by the first-order Markov process, which implies decreasing correlation between pixels of increasing geometrical separation, the least-squares linear mapping technique (LSLMT) can be simplified for pattern recognition. The basis functions of LSLMT are shown to be a linear combination of the means of all training classes. Experimental results obtained by using the basis functions from the simplified method show reliable recognition.
