Explore practical approaches to turning hand-printed data into machine-ready form and speeding up data processing. This book-length report investigates the input problem in computing, offering a focused look at how reliable translation from human input to binary form can cut turnaround time and effort.
The analysis centers on pattern recognition for hand-printed characters, starting with simple area-based comparisons and moving toward more capable data-collection devices. It also documents experiments, the creation of a 2000-specimen binary library, and the design considerations behind a page reader and related hardware. The work connects theoretical methods with tangible hardware options to improve the efficiency of data conversion.

Excerpt from Aec Computing and Applied Mathematics Center: Aec Research and Development Report
Research described in this report was undertaken in an attempt to solve a special case of the input problem, of great concern to people otherwise requiring only moderate amounts of machine time for scientific problems. Typically, this class of users requires less than 15 minutes of machine time (7090 or its equivalent) for a given problem, and computations are performed only once or at most a few times. Thus, for small, nonrepetitive programs, effort and time involved to convert the initial handcoded program into machine - assimilable form becomes an appreciable portion Of the total time'and effort expended. It is not at all unusual that an hour or more of keypunching is required for a program that will run for two minutes, or that a program is delayed a half day to several days by the keypuncher's schedule.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the challenges of developing a digital computer input device capable of reading and understanding handwritten FORTRAN programs. It begins with the development of a 2000-specimen library of handprinted characters, and progresses through various experimental techniques for recognition. The author, with experience in adaptive systems, sought to determine not only how to recognize patternsâ"specifically handprinted symbolsâ"but also to develop more general methods of pattern recognition that could be used in other applications. The development of a flying spot scanner to convert specimens to digital form, and the subsequent creation of a binary library tape for use with the IBM 7090, are also detailed. The reader will gain valuable insights into the nature of pattern recognition, the complexities of creating character-recognition systems, and the development of methods that may be applied to other fields of study and technological development.
