Circuit arrangement for processing slanting, in particular hand-written characters.

摘要

An editing arrangement for character recognition has a binary coded character stored in a X/Y-addressable image signal memory from which signals are first read out column-by-column, whereby a first character shadow is formed from the result by projection of successive columns respectively comprising black points onto the character base line. The stored character pattern is then repeatedly read out in accord with a scanning at positive and/or negative oblique angles relative to the Y-axis until as minimum character shadow is produced. The scanned pattern yielding this minimum character shadow is then selected for further evaluation of the character.
