Abstract
A pattern recognition apparatus is disclosed that is capable of high-speed, automatic recognition of input image patterns with a high degree of accuracy and which also has a broad range of operational tolerance to shifts in the position of input image patterns. The pixel data of an input image are compared by separate circuits with pixel data of reference image patterns. Other circuits use these comparisons to select that one of the reference patterns to which the input image corresponds.
