  • Patent number: 5257322
    Abstract: A pattern recognition method and apparatus wherein an optical correlator and a feedback light path are provided. In the optical correlator, an input pattern whose image is formed on a first spatial light modulator (valve) is read by the irradiation of coherent light, and an image of a correlation peak image of this reading light is formed by the use of a correlation filter on which a plurality of reference patterns are recorded in the form of modified patterns. In the feedback light path, the correlation peak image is formed on a second spatial light modulator (valve), the correlation peak image is read out by the irradiation of coherent light, and the light having read the correlation image is made to pass a display filter on which display reference patterns are recorded.
