Hybrid approaches have been applied widely in image recognition system to adapt the increasing requirement of real-time and high accuracy and there are a lot of successful hybrid image recognition algorithms. To use hybrid approaches more effectively, some basic research about it is very necessary. This paper analyzes current typical hybrid samples, then presents basic hybrid image recognition patterns and evaluates their performance about real-time, accuracy, robustness, expandability and flexibility. At last a developing hybrid image recognition system would be introduced as a sample.
