220 Feature Extraction and Image Processing

This is where the problem starts, as we now have 11 parameters (eight for the shapes and

three for the weighting coefficients). We could of course simply cycle through every

possible value. Given, say, 100 possible values for each parameter, we then have to search

10

combinations of parameters which would be no problem given multithread computers

with Terrahertz processing speed achieved via optical interconnect, but that is not now.

Naturally, we can reduce the number of combinations by introducing constraints on the

relative size and position of the shapes, e.g. the circle should lie wholly within the ...
