This is using your psi abilities to perceive something This term can be used to refer either to active or passive scanning Passive scanning is when the person/place/thing (target) you are scanning is within the normal range of your field, or when the target is projecting something to you, and you are reading it Active scanning is when you deliberately send your energy to the target in order to "read" the target In most cases when scanning is used as a casual term, it is used to refer to active scanning This term does not refer to making peoples' heads explode, as in the movie, "Scanners"
A selection technique which presents groups of items to the user The user then signals with a switch press, gesture or other means when the desired item is being indicated The scanning may be performed automatically by an electronic system or manually by the communication partner
The process of taking hardcopy and making an image of the document for use in a computer system
The process of capturing data in raster format with a device called a scanner Some scanners also use software to convert raster data to vector data
is a process by which data and maps are converted to digital form using optical or video equipment Scanning differs from digitizing in that entire pages of data or map sheets are captured as images all at once Digitizing involves entering discreet points and digits one at a time Scanning may eventually lower the cost of adding information to a database At the moment, scanning and digitizing take about the same amount of time This is because scanned images, once in a computer, still require coding--the operator must indicate the relationships and data to be stored and where to store the information This operation is normally part of the digitizing process In the future, the use of artificially intelligent coding algorithms may make scanning faster and less expensive
A method of selecting items in a communication system The items are presented to the user in a fixed sequence The user waits until the desired item is presented and then chooses it This selection technique may be used with both electronic and manual communication systems
