Image recognition and classification is one of the most actively pursued
areas in the broad field of imaging sciences and engineering. The reason is
evident: the ability to replace human visual capabilities with a machine is
very important and there are diverse applications. The main idea is to
inspect an image scene by processing data obtained from sensors. Such
machines can substantially reduce the workload and improve accuracy of
making decisions by human operators in diverse fields including the military
and d
