There are many useful things in pattern recognition. First, there is a need for spiritual improvement in the recognition of images from Biblical plots. Secondly, in the recognition of beautiful images when visiting the theater, museums. Third, in the recognition of the images of our ancestors, when tribute is paid to their deeds. Fourthly, in dreams of the future, when images of the future inspire new creations. And this enumeration can be continued.
Pattern recognition can be categorized under a branch of Artificial Intelligence. Data patterns are rigorously studied and grouped into labels. Each label class may be known(supervised) or unkown(unsupervised). Please refer to the book titled Pattern recognition by William Gibson on the subject.

Here is another very good old article about techniques for using contextual information in pattern recognition:

Positron emission tomography–computed tomography (PET-CT) has been shown to detect unexpected synchronous malignancies in up to 4.8% of patients and has been shown to be more sensitive than conventional staging alone. Detection of an unsuspected synchronous malignancy on PET-CT will often affect both patient treatment and prognosis. This article reviews:
Utility of pattern recognition in the detection of unsuspected additional primary malignancies on positron emission tomography–computed tomography

Yes,Dr Afan Pattern recognition is widely used being a branch of AI to unearth fact hidden in large data sets.PR is used as a techniques to Computational Molecular Biology.
