Abstract This is a report describing the limitations of optical character
recognition using the mask-matching principle. Conclusions
are supported by the results of an experimental system built for
the purpose of reduction to practice.
Formulas are derived describing the limitations of a mask-matching system. Given desired character reading speed, a specified
character set, and reliability requirements; system specifications
such as disc size, RPM, mask size, light source intensity,
and output signal levels can be obtained.
Appropriate numbers are inserted representing the experimental
system for empirical verification. Then using the limitations
of present development an optimum mask-matching system
is specified.
Finally, areas for further development are outlined.
