Framework Design of Information Retrieval System for Official Letter Using Extraction of Geometry Feature Method

Abstract

In a government institution many official letters are made daily, the letters have an official format in the Tanggal, No. Surat, Lampiran dan Hal. area, with an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) scanner an official letter can be digitized and processed to obtain characters that will be used as searches, but in fact in certain desired parts there are often handwriting, a method of pattern recognition is needed to recognize the handwriting. The process in this study including of normalization, segmentation and pattern recognition from labels in the Tanggal, No. Surat, Lampiran dan Hal. area,this system will generate output in text form, the output text is result that will use as a term in the process of the Information Retrieval System, so the search for an official letter will be easy to do. This study is only makes the framework design for the next research authors will explain the detail of process and results obtained.
