ABSTRACT:
A deterministic finite automaton uses binary search (and optionally hashing) method(s) of sparse matrix representation to recognize the graphical representations of characters or icons from a bitmap representation of the computer screen. This recognition can be applied to translate data from an unknown form of original specification (file format) into a known form of representation, such as HTML. Alternatively this recognition can be applied to another process that can “see” what is on the screen, and perform programmed actions, based on what it “sees”.
