Well it would all depend on what you mean by 'correlate'. But generally the problem as I see it is that what you'd really be interested in doing for finding patterns is edge detection followed by vectorisation of the edges (by that I mean to generate some sort of vector representation of the image) and comparing these vectors against some in a library. The actual levels of each individual pixel in the image is therefore less important than how much these levels change: so you'd be analysing the wrong type of data and loosing a hell of a lot of the information that'd be useful by reducing the source image to 1-bit.
