Abstract

Abstract A restoration system is disclosed for restoring omitted dots of dot-typed patterns indicated by an alternate arrangement of black dots and white dots in bilateral scanning lines and vertical scanning lines in which some dots of each of the dot-typed patterns omitted in a pattern generator or in the transmission medium because of noise are restored irrespective of the states of the dots if upper and lower dots and right and left dots adjacent to each of the omitted dots assume predetermined states determined in consideration of the characteristics of the patterns. The dot-typed omitted pattern is temporarily stored in a shift register, and AND logic operations are performed by use of AND circuits to detect the predetermined states.
