<p>The extraction of desired image information from input image information is disclosed, in which the extracted partial image information is recognized. Character outline information is traced, starting from an arbitrary point of the input image information. The start point is moved when the outline reaches the edge of the input image and the outline is traced again from the moved start point. Outline tracing and start position movement are repeated until the character information can be extracted by the outline tracing. When the number of times the start poin has been moved exceeds a predetermined value, the input information is inverted. <IMAGE></p> |
