ABSTRACT
Brian Kennedy of Zeppelin Corporation is an electrical engineer who
designed and implemented integrated image recognition systems
based on parallel processor architectures. He applied his software
and hardware technology to commercially available facsimile
transmission equipment with phenomenal success. The system which he
will be discussing is capable of capturing high resolution bit image
data and extracting the text and graphics portions of the image.
The extracted text data is 95\% accurate. The graphic and text data
captured is then transmitted to its destination and stored in one of
50 possible data formats that are suitable for inclusion in data bases
by a variety of word processors, spread sheet programs and data
base managers.
