Notoriously, Pattern Recognition algorithms are not robust, as soon as
input images are not of good quality, contrary to normal human vision
. Guided by the recent neurophysiology results on human visual cortex,
we set up an experimental program, using systematically the combinati
on of several operators and ''soft'' decisions. We give recognition re
sults on binary pictures of literal (courtesy) amounts of cheques from
the French postal service, often quite degraded and difficult to read
