Method For Imaging Test Answer Sheets Having Open-Ended Questions
US Patent:
6366760, Apr 2, 2002
Filed:
Nov 6, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/707252
Inventors:
Bernard Kucinski - San Antonio TX
Jose Gonzalez - Richardson TX
Jose Gonzalez - Richardson TX
Assignee:
The Psychological Corporation - San Antonio TX
International Classification:
G09B 700
US Classification:
434359, 434353, 434358, 434355, 382312, 382321, 382318
Abstract:
An imaging system includes two sets of cameras: a first set for capturing optical mark or optical character recognition data and a second set for capturing visual images. Full visual images of pages containing answers to open-ended questions are retained and are retrievable by a reader such that an area of interest wherein the answer is expected is displayed, but the remaining area is also available for viewing. The system permits the alignment of a page based upon edge detection if the page contains only an open-ended answer, obviating the need for timing tracks. Hardware and software elements cooperate to store the image temporarily in a server having a response time commensurate with the scanner. The image is then processed with the use of high-performance index imaging for optical storage and retrieval, and then routed to a long-term storage device.

Method For Scoring And Delivering To A Reader Test Answer Images For Open-Ended Questions
US Patent:
2004018, Sep 23, 2004

Jan 27, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/765749
Inventors:

Jose Gonzalez - Richardson TX, US
Assignee:
Harcourt Assessment, Inc. - San Antonio TX
International Classification:
G09B007/00
US Classification:
434/359000
Abstract:
A method for scoring an answer page containing an answer to an open-ended question includes viewing a first visual image of a first portion of an answer page. The first portion contains an answer space in which an answer to an open-ended question is expected to reside. If the first portion of the answer page contains a complete answer, the answer is electronically scored. If the first portion of the answer page does not encompass a complete answer, a second visual image of a second portion of the answer page is accessed and viewed. The second portion contains a sector of the answer page outside the answer space. A method is also provided for delivering an answer page to a reader for scoring.

Assignee:
The Psychological Corporation - San Antonio TX
International Classification:
C09B 300
US Classification:
434350
Abstract:
A scoring system and method include a distribution application for delivering an answer image to a qualified reader. The distributor prefetches a batch of answer images from long-term storage and caches them for retrieval and scoring. The scoring process includes displaying an answer based upon an answer image form along with a scoring protocol. Geometric tools are also available for assisting in scoring geometry tests. A routing system permits a reader to electronically pose a query to a supervisor and to continue working on another answer while the query is being addressed. A reader's effectiveness and efficiency can be monitored by distributing a calibration answer to the reader in transparent fashion and comparing the resulting score with a target score.
