Abstract

Traditional data mining techniques mainly deal with a search for patterns in traditional databases, where data consists of numbers and words. In many application areas, however, data is more complicated: real-life data is often obtained as an image from a camera rather than a few measurements. Furthermore, this image can also change dynamically. In this paper, we present several examples of how soft computing is related to mining such data.
