Abstract
A pattern processing system comprising a filtering processor which enhances the edge of a character signal picked up by an image pickup tube, a comparator which binary-codes the character signal on the basis of threshold values of two different levels, a circuit which provides the logical product between outputs from the filtering processor and the comparator, and a filtering processor which subjects the output of the circuit to a filtering processing by the use of a smoothing filter.
