| | Structural Pattern Recognition of Land Use |
 | | One important feature of graphical structural pattern recognition, is that graph-theoretic approaches and concepts are used to represent the properties and relations of the pattern primitives. |
 | | Finally, both are concerned with the performing a classification which assigns the pattern primitives present, on the basis of the their derived pattern features, to one of set of candidate pattern classes; often, this classification process involves some form of explicit spatial analytical functionality. |
 | | The pattern features derived for each region pattern primitive may take a wide variety of forms and measurement scales, although in general, they tend to describe the morphology of regions (e.g., their area, perimeter, compactness etc) as well as the spatial relationships which exist between them (e.g., adjacency, containment, distance and direction etc). |
