Abstract
In an image information recognition apparatus image information read by an image reader is stored in an image memory. Since the read image information corresponds to the entire reading range of the reader, an edge of a specific region of the image signals is detected by an edge detector. Boundaries of the region are determined by a coordinate emulator in accordance with a detection signal from the edge detector. Image information within the region surrounded by the boundaries is read out from the image memory, and a bit mover rotates the image information to a normal position or trims it, as needed.
