Application of New Technologies to DTIC Document Processing

摘要

The use of integrated optical character recognition (OCR) and database management technology to improve DTIC document input processing is examined. Significant near-term improvements in efficiency can be realized using commercially available components fused into an integrated system. An approach and system architecture are defined that will permit a staged implementation of this technology within the framework of the current DTIC work flow. While the emphasis of this report is on reducing labor-intensive manual keystroking operations presently in use, the proposed system provides an open ended approach which will interface easily with both existing and future DTIC operations. An in-depth review of current DTIC document processing was used to guide the definition of the pilot system architecture developed in this study, and the results of that review are presented and discussed.
