Description:	This plugin tries to find patterns which are similar to a specific pattern in an image, using Modified Ring Projection method. To use this plugin, open an 8-bit grayscale image and draw a Rectangular Selection around the area of the image you'd like to find patterns similar to it. Then run the plugin and click on the preview checkbox to see the result. By changing the value of the Acceptable Error slider youll be able to set acceptable accuracy of process. As a practical example of how this plugin works, download this image, open it by ImageJ, draw a Rectangular Selection around one character, and then run the plugin to see how it finds similar characters written in different orientations and scales.
