i) Document Image Processing (DIP)
DIP is an electronic form of filing. In a DIP system, a document is passed through a
scanner, translated into digital form and the digitised image is then stored on a
storage device usually an optical disk.
ii) Applications of DIP include:
a. Electronic data interchange.
b. Desktop Publishing.
c. Management of accounting transactions.
Advantages of DIP are:
1. Reduced space needed for files. One optical disk can contain 60000 pages of A4.
2. Simultaneous viewing of files by many users.
3. Faster retrieval of files.
