What is OCR – The Basics of Optical Character Recognition With the growing demand for electronic documentation and paperless business solutions – there has been a significant growth in interest surrounding OCR technology. Unfortunately, despite its increase in popularity and numerous benefits to traditional scanning, many professionals are still left with the question - what is OCR? In today’s business atmosphere, it is becoming increasingly common for documents to be scanned, allowing for the convenient
of paper documents and archives. Optical Character Recognition (OCR) systems and document structure analyzers are the essential tools to achieve this task. It often appears that the document to be recognized is not correctly placed on the flat-bed scanner, especially when the document comes from a book or a magazine. This results in a skewed digitalized image which is a real problem for the document analysis, understanding, character segmentation and recognition. Deskewing the input image is then
Abstract Automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) is the method of extraction of vehicle number plate information from an image or a sequence of images. The extracted data can be used in many applications, such as toll booths and vehicle parking areas where payment can be done electronically and traffic surveillance systems. The images are taken by the ANPR systems using either a color , black and white or an infrared camera, depending on which different techniques are applied for extraction of
Data Input Methods Optical data readers The best data input method for printed questionnaires would be Optical Data Readers. Optical Data Readers are a special type of scanning device to be used on documents. Optical Data Readers fall under two categories, optical mark recognition (OMR) and optical character recognition (OCR) (Stair, R., Reynolds, G., 2004). Printed questionnaires which, for instance, can be used for surveying groups of people regarding a particular subject can utilize OMR through
Magnetic Ink Character Recognition In today's high tech world, nearly everyone takes electronic banking for granted and seldom gives a second thought to automated teller machines, electronic funds transfers, on-line statements, or even utilizing the computer to pay their bills electronically. However, few, if any, realize that these capabilities can be traced back to events that occurred over half a century ago and to the invention and proliferation of Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR).
of inputting this data would be to scan in these pages, and then use a OCR program to convert the input into editable text. OCR stands for "Optical Character Recognition". OCR software "involves computer software designed to translate images of typewritten text (usually captured by a scanner) into machine-editable text, or to translate pictures of characters into a standard encoding scheme representing them in (ASCII or Unicode) (Wikipedia). Another form of data input may be the results of a telephone
classes (patterns). Quick development of neural networks promotes concept of the pattern recognition by proposing intelligent systems such as handwriting recognition, speech recognition and face recognition. In particular, Problem of handwriting recognition has been considered significantly during the last decades in the academic and industrial fields by employing types of direct matching. Performance of this recognition has been paying strong attention through developing several schemas and algorithms
Grievant is a FTR with bona-fide bid job at APBS. APBS bid job requires successful bidder to be a to be qualified keyers through training prior to working and keying mail at The CBA, JCIM, ELM, BQNet, etc, require that clerks must successfully complete training prior to working and keying mail at the APBS. The Union has recently adjudicated and won grievances dealing utilizing qualified keyers at the APBS. Management utilized clerks who are unqualified keyers to key mail at the APBS. Management
one of which is called Optical Data Reader. The Optical Data Reader can be used to input the information off of printed questionnaires. There are two categories of optical data readers; the Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) and the Optical Character Recognition (OCR). Optical Mark Recognition is used when pencils are used to fill in boxes on Optical Mark Recognition paper or a mark sense forms such as is used in standardized tests like the SAT and the GMAT. Voice Recognition Devices are used to recognize
one to use could save time and improve accuracy. Optical scanning, for example, is best used for printing questionnaires and retail tags. Optical scanning input devices include optical character recognition (OCR), which recognize certain printed characters. The OCR is an optimum way to read printed questionnaires because the optical character recognition senses marks made on forms. Relative to this, bar-code scanning is one of the most common optical scanning input devices. This device recognizes a

Electronic media will be addressing the key ideas; such as relationship between “electronic and image records; magnetic and optical media; removable data storage devices; data input; storage and retrieval procedures.”(342-348) The second part we will look at records safety and security. This section will discuss “record safety, protective measures, conversion and backup; protection
The classification topic is characters of Naruto. Originating in Japan, Naruto is a popular comic, or manga, and show, or anime, which tells the story of Naruto Uzumaki, a young and adolescent teen ninja who strives for recognition and his dream to become the Hokage, chief of his village, Konoha. In the manga Naruto, he encounters many other ninjas, friends and foe who all fight differently. Characters of Naruto can be placed into three categories of Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and Genjutsu based on the
available in all LEGO stores and also other large toy stores (Metaio GmbH, 2010). Augmented Reality has been used in the field of mobile advertising also. Aurasma is one such application. This was launched in 2011. This application made use of image recognition. Here the content is hovered over the newspaper or magazine, which has 2D content or videos (Cellan-Jones, 2011). Ramblib et al. made a statement in their paper that “a static reading experience can be converted into a dynamic, fun and engaging
Speech Recognition and Speech Synthesis Speech Recognition. Speech Recognition is the process by which a computer maps an acoustic speech signal to text. It is different that speech understanding which is the process by which a computer maps an acoustic speech signal to some form of abstract meaning of the speech. This process depends on the speaker, and how he speaks the language. There are three different systems for the speaker. * Speaker dependent system. * Speaker independent system
Identify the constituent parts of a total computer system ========================================================= Hardware - input and output units Backup storage; central processing unit; Software - applications package; Operating system; The main function of a computer system is to process data. When data has been processed and output it becomes information. The main stages of this procedure are: 1. The Input Stage - where data is put into the computer. 2. The Processing
Technology over the years has improved in the criminal justice system. Ever since the 1960s criminal justice systems have used technology to advance and gain a better knowledge of the different issues and encounters officers may face. Technology is used to improve the day-to-day operations, decrease operation cost and increase strategic planning and tactical approaches. Technology has opened new encounters and opportunities for the criminal justice system. There are so many new practices of criminal
What is Pattern Recognition? It is generally easy for a person to differentiate the sound of a human voice, from that of a violin; a handwritten numeral "3," from an "8"; and the aroma of a rose, from that of an onion. However, it is difficult for a programmable computer to solve these kinds of perceptual problems. These problems are difficult because each pattern usually contains a large amount of information, and the recognition problems typically have an inconspicuous, high-dimensional, structure
