    Abstract: 1,179,916. Pattern recognition. INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORP. 24 April, 1967 [9 May, 1966], No. 18704/67. Heading G4R. In pattern recognition apparatus, pattern data is passed progressively through a storage device, the boundary between adjacent patterns is determined, and portions of a pattern overlying an adjacent pattern are removed from a predetermined plurality of storage positions when all the data representative of a pattern is in the storage device and data elements are present in a predetermined plurality of storage positions, the pattern data being passed to recognition means without the removed portions. A flying spot scanner reads a line of characters starting at the right hand end, each character being read in a series of vertical scans (columns), the read data being passed through a 5-scan look-ahead shift register LA1-LA5 and then into a 15-scan main shift register 17 which feeds character recognition circuitry which may be as in Specification 1,102,359 which is referred to. A segmentation circuit 19 which may be as in Specification 1,144,319 which is referred to, responds to the shift registers to produce a segmentation signal indicating that the boundary between two adjacent characters as in register column LA3. AND gates 22, 23 are fed from stages of the look-ahead register and main register to detect conflict of adjacent characters. The conflict may be overhanging, underhanging, abutting or overlap. The bottom 6 bit stages of register columns LA3, LA4 are cleared if AND 22 produces an output (while AND 23 does not) during the first scan after the segmentation, signal, and also if AND 23 produces an output during the third scan after the segmentation signal, via OR 27. Thus conflicting bits are destroyed. Normally data shifted from the look-ahead register passes via AND 33 into the first column of the main register but during the fourth scan after the segmentation signal it is passed instead via AND 31 to auxiliary register 21, a blank "scan" being entered into the first column of the main register. The segmentation signal, 4 scans delayed, causes the recognition circuitry to recognise the character now in the main register which is cleared at the end of the fourth scan following the segmentation signal. During the next scan, the contents of the auxiliary register 21 are passed via AND 35 into the second column of the main register while the output from register column LA5 recommences to pass via AND 33 into the first column of the main register. Fig. 5 (not shown) shows a modification in which conflicting bits destroyed in the lookahead register are first transferred to corresponding bit positions of the first two columns of a 3-scan auxiliary register which replaces that of Fig. 2. During the scan after clearing of the main register referred to, the contents of the 3 auxiliary register columns are passed to columns 2, 3, 4 of the main register and the output from register column LA5 recommences to pass into the first column of the main register.
