pattern recognition

[inadaze]

Hi,
I am doing a project that involves scanning a black and white(and gray) image of a palm and running it through tests to find out where the lines are. Then comparing the lines to a database of possibilities to output a result closest to the database examples.
Like a fortune teller kind of thing.
Any one have any ideas how to read pixels to compare to stored information on pixels?

Thanks
Jay

Yes, but not in actionscript. This is the kind of app I would probably write in C, Python, TCL or just about any other language but actionscript.

You need access to a lower-level set of graphics routines than what actionscript provides.

How about Java or Processing environments?
or Even Matlab?

Yep. Processing, in particular, seems like a good choice.

i know a little about processing...But could you give me a direction to head in. I was hoping you would agree with this program!

I think the faster way is to use the BitmapData object in actionscript 2. You can take the pixel map of an image (or a video, like a webcam stream) and you can compare with che other image in the database by a pixel by pixel difference, for example. It's only an idea
