Abstract:

In April of the Year 2000, the U.S. Bureau of the Census will mail out 140 million forms to start the Year 2000 Decennial Census, one of the World's largest data capture projects, which will cost $4 billion before it's over. The RIT Research Corporation, R&D "partners" with the Census Bureau since October, 1993, continues to help the Bureau with training, requirements, prototype development, system trade-off studies, specifications, and quality assurance testing.

We will give a brief system overview, describe some of the more critical elements for forms processing, and specifically discuss recent results in Optical Mark Recognition and Optical Character Recognition of handprint.
