From: Richard B. August <AUGUST@JPL-VLSI> BEGINNING RESEARCH ON CHARACTER RECOGINITION TECHNIQUES. OBJECTIVE: DEVELOP CHARACTER INPUT DEVICE (WAND) TO ACCEPT THE MAJORITY OF FONTS FOUND IN PUBLICATIONS. POINTER TO PUBLICATIONS ARE HELPFUL. THANKS REGARDS RAUGUST [The international joint conferences on pattern recognition would be a good place to start. Proceedings are available from the IEEE Computer Society. A 1962 book I've found interesting is "Optical Character Recognition" by Fischer, et al. Good luck (you'll need it). -- KIL]
