Abstract
-
The problem with standard data processing of information stored as text is quite simply overload. Today's office generates and processes text from memos, fax, mail, and numerous other media. In such a context, it becomes quite difficult to locate and retrieve information in the form desired by the user. The current state of affairs is well discussed in (1).;The typical user is involved with such typical processes as making a copy of the document. ALL these tedious but standard office procedures are now done manually.;It is the thesis of this dissertation that digitizing the text and computerizing the output eliminates these manual chores. A system for document image management (IMAGE TRAC{dollar}\sp{lcub}\rm TM{rcub}{dollar}) that we have designed and developed works quite well at these tasks. This system allows users to scan in documents and then digitizes them, thus preparing it for storage on an optical disk. The techniques used for digitizing documents center around the use of the Gray code (2) for data compression.;References. (1) C. L. Benier and A. N.
