                                   ABSTRACT

	Brian Kennedy of Zeppelin Corporation is an electrical engineer who
	designed and implemented integrated image recognition systems
	based on parallel processor architectures. He applied his software
	and hardware technology to commercially available facsimile
	transmission equipment with phenomenal success. The system which he
	will be discussing is capable of capturing high resolution bit image
	data and extracting the text and graphics portions of the image.
	The extracted text data is 95\% accurate. The graphic and text data
	captured is then transmitted to its destination and stored in one of
	50 possible data formats that are suitable for inclusion in data bases
	by a variety of word processors, spread sheet programs and data
	base managers.
