AI in optical character recognition Artificial intelligence (AI) is the intelligence of machines. AI textbooks define the field as "the study and design of intelligent agents" where an intelligent agent is a system that perceives its environment and takes actions that maximize its chances of success. There are different fields under optical character recognition. Intelligent character recognition Handwriting recognition Automatic number plate recognition In computer science‚ intelligent

Case Analysis: Optical Fiber Corporation Introduction Optical Fiber Corporation (OFC) is a financially successful‚ albeit relatively small manufacturer of multimode optical fibers. The company was founded in 1990. The founders were able to enter the market largely on the basis of acquiring patent licenses from larger optical fiber firms. These licenses restricted competition between the entities and provided OFC with instant access to optical fiber technology. In return‚ OFC’s customer

LIST OF ACRONYMS/ABBREVIATIONS 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Research Motivation Laser induced damage is of interest in studying the transmission of large amounts of optical energy through step-index‚ large core multimode fibers. Optical fibers often have to be routed around objects when laser light is being transmitted between two locations which require the fiber to bend into a curve. Depending on how tight the bend is‚ this can result in transmission

Problem: Does gender influence how people view optical illusions? Background: The brain takes cues from images received from the eyes to help it interpret what is being seen. Usually this is important for things like depth perception‚ but occasionally it leads us astray. The cues make us think we see something that isn’t true‚ or isn’t even there. Light waves enter your eye and then enter photoreceptive cells on your retina. The image that forms on your retina is flat‚ but you see

Optical Character Recognition for Cursive Handwriting Nafiz Arica‚ Student Member‚ IEEE‚ and Fatos T. Yarman-Vural‚ Senior Member‚ IEEE AbstractÐIn this paper‚ a new analytic scheme‚ which uses a sequence of segmentation and recognition algorithms‚ is proposed for offline cursive handwriting recognition problem. First‚ some global parameters‚ such as slant angle‚ baselines‚ and stroke width and height are estimated. Second‚ a segmentation method finds character segmentation paths by combining gray

A passive optical network (PON) is a telecommunications network that uses point-to-multipoint fiber to the premises in which unpowered optical splitters are used to enable a single optical fiber to serve multiple premises. A PON consists of an optical line terminal (OLT) at the service provider’s central office and a number of optical network units (ONUs) near end users. A PON reduces the amount of fiber and central office equipment required compared with point-to-point architectures. A passive optical

ASSIGNMENT: 1 SESSION: 2012/13 TUTOR: Stuart Allan WORD COUNT: 1‚891 Carbon fibre is a strong‚ yet light‚ reinforced polymer. Carbon fibres are used in applications where high strength and light weight are required. Carbon fibres can also be easily moulded into the desired shape. They are also chemically inert‚ resistant to heat‚ and do not expand under changing temperatures. Machining of carbon fibre materials can generate airborne particles. The potential health effects of these
