1. An image processing apparatus comprising:
- input means for inputting a pattern representing a predetermined sample character;
extraction means for comparing the pattern input by said input means with a reference pattern representing the predetermined sample character, and for extracting characteristic data inherent to the input pattern in accordance with a comparison result;
holding means for holding the characteristic data extracted by said extraction means, as a correction rule common to a plurality of different patterns representing respective characters to be recognized; and
correction means for correcting a pattern entered for recognition after said holding means has held the characteristic data and different from the input pattern representing the predetermined sample character, in accordance with the characteristic data held by said holding means.

Abstract
An image processing system includes entering a predetermined sample character, comparing characteristic data for the sample character with characteristic data for a predetermined reference character, extracting characteristic data inherent to the entered sample character and relative to the reference character, storing the extracted characteristic data, and correcting a character which is newly entered for recognition and different from the predetermined sample character in accordance with the stored characteristic data.
