Abstract(in English) This paper presents evolutional history of regression trees, a novel regression tree called PaLM-tree, and its application to Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition problems. Regression tree is a tree representation of nonlinear function, which is mainly investigated in the fields of Machine Learning and Data Mining. The original regression tree is a simple tree representation holding function values at leaves (terminated nodes). Linear regression tree extends the function values to linear regression coefficients. Since these regression trees are designed for rule-extraction, most of them are single valued for representing nonlinear scalar functions. PaLM-tree is a multi-valued extension of the linear regression tree with Split-and-Merge tree construction. PaLM-tree can be applied to varieties of nonlinear mapping learning problems. This paper also presents applications of PaLM-tree involving image segmentation, camera calibration and imitating classifiers.
