Abstract
The method enables automatic triggering of pattern recognition tasks. A histogram of the frequency distribution of the gray-scale values of the image is determined periodically and repeatedly from the available image information. The characteristics of the histogram are determined, and the characteristics are used as the basis for establishing whether a relevant pattern is present. If the relevant pattern is found to be present, the pattern recognition process is initiated.
