Raster Scanned Character Recognition (RSCR).

Abstract

The objective of the RSCR was to design and implement a software system which produces bathymetric depth sounding information for input to a digital data base. Input to the RSCR is raster scanned smooth sheets which consist of handwritten depth soundings. The RSCR system includes software to: (1) isolate smooth sheet hand drafted numeric depth soundings from raster scanned input, (2) provide isolated characters to a character recognition routine, and (3) construct and locate output depth soundings in digital format for subsequent use by the Defense Mapping Agency Hydrographic/Topographic Center (DMAHTC). The Hand-printed Symbol Recognition (HSR) software developed by computer Sciences Corp and the Naval Ocean Research and Development Activity (NORDA) is the character recognition routine used. This report documents all of the above mentioned capabilities except the HSR software itself which has been documented separately by CSC and NORDA.
