Alpha-numeric character recognition using local operations

This paper describes a demonstration of the recognition of thirty-four alpha-numeric characters. The IBM 704 EDPM was used as a tool to study the method which led to this demonstration. The Generalized Scanner was used as an input transducer for this study.
