Abstract
A vector normalizing apparatus in which information concerning the norm of the original vector is not lost by normalization, and which needs no device that divides vector components by norm. The apparatus includes a vector input device (,) for entering a vector. An additional component calculating device (,) receives the vector entered through the vector input device (,) and calculates an additional component to be added to the vector such that norm of the vector after the addition of the component becomes constant. A vector component adding device (,) adds an output from the additional component calculating device (,) as a component of the entered vector. A normalized vector output device (,) outputs the vector having the component added thereto.
