Alpha/Numeric Extraction Technique Phase II.
Abstract
This report describes a 2-part program (1) to interface an existing word recognition system (WRS) to a bathymetric digitizer and (2) to develop a new word recognition system for a large vocabulary. The first program provides an improved means for entering bathymetric readings from smooth sheets to punched cards. The WRS allows a cartographer simultaneously to obtain X-Y coordinate locations and provide voice data entry of depth reading for each coordinate location. With the operator's hands free to concentrate on the X-Y position sensing cursor he can speak the depth numbers. If they are correctly recognized, he can enter them onto punched cards without losing sight of the smooth sheet. The cartographic WRS which was interfaced to the digitizer is described in AD-B008 303L. The complete system has been installed at the Defense Mapping Agency Hydrographic Center at Suitland, MD. The large vocabulary WRS will be used to explore other cartographic applications. This system is based upon the VIP-100, a WRS system with capability of recognizing up to 200 separate words in a syntactic structure. The structure allows up to 30 words in any node of the structure.
