Classification of Optical

scanning system
MUHAMMAD ISHAQUE AMUR

OPTICAL SENSOR

 An input device using light beams to scan and


digitally convert the image, code ,text, or graphic
images as 2D file and sends them to computer.
 Used for many purpose like,
 Customized response forms
 Creating automated data fields
 Recording finger prints.
Optical scanning system

 Optical scanning device combines specialized computer


hardware and software.
 Hardware captures the image and software converts into
computer readable data.
 There are four main type of optical scanning technologies.
 Optical mark reading (OMR).
 Optical character recognition (OCR).
 Intelligent character recognition (ICR).
 Imaging technology.
Optical mark reading?

 scanner reading particular kinds of marks in a defined


set of locations on a page.
 The computer software used by the OMR scanner is
programmed to recognize the meaning of the various
marks, and to convert scanned images into computer-
readable data using the location of those marks.
 Uses image scanner to process survey, tests,
attendance sheets and check list on laser printer.
(OMR) Scanning system
Optical character recognition (OCR)
scanning system
 OCR scanning systems take scanned images and use
computer software to recognize the shapes of
characters such as numbers and letters, and store
them as computer-readable data.
 OCR works by 'training' the scanning software to
recognize particular shapes as letters and numbers.
 OCR systems have to be trained to recognize that a
particular letter or number can take several different
forms. OCR systems can also be trained to recognize
hand writing. However, given the infinite variety in
hand writing styles, this is a much more difficult task
Intelligent character recognition(ICR)
scanning system
 ICR takes advancement in OCR systems using
computer software to apply intelligent logic tests to
scanned characters to more reliably convert them into
computer-readable data
 ICR systems apply rules of spelling, grammar and
context to scanned text in order to make 'intelligent'
assessments as to the correct interpretation of the
data.
 ICR systems are being examined for their suitability to
capture hand written numbers from ballots used for
more complex electoral systems.
Imaging technology

 Scanners can also capture image to be stored as


computer readable images.
 Photographs, drawings and images of text can be
stored and reused in computer readable form.

 Photographs of polling stations can included on


websites and instruction manuals. Examples of
completed forms can be scanned as images and
printed in training manuals.
Imaging technology

 Imaging technology can be used for identity


verification purpose.
 Images of fingerprints or facial features can be stored
on smart card.
 Software identity system can compare the image on
smart card with one who bring it to compare weather
it is same person.
