This paper introduces an algorithm for pattern recognition. The algorithm will classify a measured object as belonging to one of N known classes or none of the classes. The algorithm makes use of fuzzy techniques and possibility is used instead of probability. The algorithm was conceived with the idea of recognizing fast moving objects, but it is shown to be more general. Fuzzy ISODATA's use as a front end to the algorithm is shown. The algorithm is shown to accomplish the objectives of correct classification or no classification. Values that describe possibility distributions are introduced with some of their properties investigated and illustrated. An expected value for a possibility distribution is also investigated. The algorithm actually proves to be adaptable to a wide variety of imprecise recognition problems. Some test results illustrate the use of the technique embodied in the algorithm and indicate its viability.
