optical scanning
Machine vision input
Optical scanning is the process of using light and sensors to convert physical images or text into digital data.
A scanner passes light over a document, photograph, or barcode, detecting variations in reflection to create a digital representation.
The technology underlies everything from office document scanners to supermarket checkout systems reading barcodes to machines grading standardized tests: Fill in the bubbles completely for accurate optical scanning.
