    摘要: An address reader method and apparatus for recognizing a receiver address on a surface of mail. In the invention an image of the surface of the mail is input and segmented into at least one character string candidate. At least one address area candidate is extracted from the image based upon the segmented character string candidate. One of the address area candidates extracted from the image is selected as a receiver address of the mail by analyzing each of the address area candidates based on predetermined position information indicating a usual position of a receiver address area, character direction information indicating a character direction of a character string appropriate for the predetermined position information, and key character string information indicating a character string most likely to exist in a receiver address. Characters in character strings of the selected address area candidate are recognized as a receiver address which is used to sort the mail.

    摘要: A character reading method has enhanced character segmentation accuracy and character string recognition accuracy for reading correctly hand-written addresses on postal matters. The method extracts provisional character patterns from image information of the address character string (step 206), creates a table 219 of tentative character patterns and implements the character classification for the tentative character patterns (step 207), extracts, specifically for characters of the street number portion of the address character string, periphery information (vertical and horizontal lengths, vertical/horizontal length ratio, pattern spacings, etc.) of tentative character patterns (step 212), and segments the character string into characters accurately based on the information (step 215).

    摘要: The mosaicing curling effect which causes a mosaic strip to curl is effectively mitigated in a system for generating a mosaic image from sequential images which partially overlap with one another. The system has a matrix estimating unit, an adjustment element calculating unit, and an image projecting unit. The matrix estimating unit estimates a transformation matrix for transformation between two adjacent images taken out from among the sequential images. The adjustment element calculating unit calculates an adjustment element of the estimated transformation matrix by decomposing the transformation matrix into a rotational component and a perspective component. The image projecting unit projects each image on the mosaic plane using the transformation matrix to which the calculated adjustment element has been applied.
