What Does Automatic Identification and Data Capture (AIDC) Mean?
Automatic identification and data capture (AIDC) refers to the method used to identify objects through computing algorithms. For example, bar codes, radio-frequency identification (RFID), biometrics, magnetic strips, optical character recognition (OCR), smart cards and voice recognition technologies all include algorithms identifying objects captured using a still image capturing system, audio or video.
Techopedia Explains Automatic Identification and Data Capture (AIDC)
AIDC algorithms compare captured data to other files stored in a database. The digital comparison and identification process does not work at 100 percent similarity because of certain factors (primarily noise).
