Pattern recognition system

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

• identifying a dithered pattern entirely outside of a region of search in waveform data;
• generating one or more dithered knowledge elements based on the dithered pattern;
• searching for occurrences of a pattern of interest in the waveform data by comparing input vectors derived from the waveform data to the one or more data vectors and by comparing the input vectors with the one or more dithered knowledge elements;
• recording, for each occurrence of the pattern of interest found in the waveform data, one or more measurements corresponding to one or more characteristics of the occurrence of the pattern of interest;
• recording, for each occurrence of the pattern of interest found in the waveform data, a point in the waveform data corresponding to the occurrence of the pattern of interest or a range of the waveform data corresponding to the occurrence of the pattern of interest;
• and
• generating search results, the search results identifying at least some occurrences of the pattern of interest and, the corresponding one or more measurements.

A computer program product, comprising one or more non-transitory computer-readable media having computer program instructions stored therein, the computer program instructions being configured such that, when executed by one or more computing devices, the computer program instructions cause the one or more computing devices to:

• identify a dithered pattern entirely outside of a region of search in waveform data;
• generate one or more dithered knowledge elements based on the dithered pattern;
• search for occurrences of the pattern of interest in the waveform data by comparing input vectors derived from the waveform data to the one or more data vectors and by comparing the input vectors with the one or more dithered knowledge elements;
• record, for each occurrence of the pattern of interest found in the waveform data, one or more measurements corresponding to one or more characteristics of the occurrence of the pattern of interest;
• record, for each occurrence of the pattern of interest found in the waveform data, a point in the waveform data corresponding to the occurrence of the pattern of interest or a range of the waveform data corresponding to the occurrence of the pattern of interest;
• and
• generate search results, the search results identifying at least some occurrences of the pattern of interest and, the corresponding one or more measurements.
