Let's get technical

Okay, let's have a look at our technical design.


The picture above shows the main modules of our pattern extraction / matching system:

The Source Linking module links binary data sources such as images, music/sounds, texts and stock trading data to the system.

The Pattern Analysis module extracts characteristic patterns from the data source using wavelet decomposition techniques.

The Pattern Storage module stores all pattern information in a datastore. Each data source consists of a set of features, such as luminance and colour intensity for images.

The most interesting part is the Pattern Matching module that is able to calculate the similarity of patterns. The matching function is based on the Earth Mover's Distance algorithm and is able to compare n-dimensional patterns and therefore capable to match patterns for a range of different types of data sources (e.g. stock exchange data, images, sound, 3D flight patterns etc.)

Next time I''l show some first results of the system in action.
