Some Important Terminology
This section details specific terminology used by INDICIUS.
Field
Fields can be of the following types: single line text, multi-line text, mark sense, mark
grid, table or barcode.
In most free-form processing configurations, you only require text fields to generate
full-page reads. Occasionally you may require a field to read an area smaller than the
full page.
The raw data from these fields is used by the searches (see below).
Search
A search is a set of SearchOptions which is run on the raw data captured by
Recognition fields.
SearchOptions
SearchOptions are sets of properties that define searches. Options include the type of
search, area to search in and the text or regular expression to search for. These
options are configured using the Free-form Processing window in Definer. Each set
of SearchOptions is referenced by a name and is used by the TextRead object to
perform the search.
TextRead
The TextRead object stores the text captured from one or more field reads. It is then
used to run a search (defined using a set of SearchOptions) on the stored text.
Match Collection
A match collection is a set of matches returned from a search. Depending on the type
of search done, one or two match collections will be returned from the search. A
target match collection will always be returned, an anchor match collection will only
be returned for anchor-target searches.
