Abstract
A light source and a light responsive sensor are optically coupled to recognize information such as bar codes recorded on an object. The light source projects illumination light onto the object and the sensor receives the reflected light the density of which represents the recorded information. The sensor is swept to convert the light density into an image signal which is then passed through a filter. An image signal, the low frequency noise signal component resulting from the fluctuation of the illumination light being excluded therefrom by the filter, is available for recognizing the recorded information precisely.
