Data Capture refers to the methods of identifying objects, collecting data about them, and entering that data into computer systems.

This process usually obtains external data, particularly through analysis of images, sounds or videos. In order to capture data, a transducer is employed which converts the actual image or a sound into a digital file. The file is then stored in a digital medium and at a later time it can be analyzed by a computer, or compared with other files in a database to verify identity or to provide authorisation to enter a secured system.
