摘要： A search processing section searches information stored in an address database, using a first character series, e.g., a postal code input through an input device as a search key, for a second character series corresponding to an address. A character recognition processing section performs character recognition with respect to a predetermined area in the image, using a character dictionary, and generates candidates for a character series including a name or designation, a postal code, an address, etc. A character image selection processing section selects a character series corresponding to the searched second character series from the generated candidates. A character image storage section stores correlation between each of the characters constituting the selected character series and a character image thereof. A character dictionary learning processing section performs a learning process with respect to the character dictionary, based on the stored correlation between each character and the character image thereof.

摘要： An addressee recognizing apparatus recognizes the addressee of matter to be delivered. A database stores a description format including at least a described position, the number of character lines, and the length of each character line in a sender area on the matter to be delivered. When a scanner obtains an image, a plurality of addressee candidate areas are obtained from the image. The apparatus determines whether the description format for each of the extracted candidates matches the description format for the sender area stored in the database. If the description format for the candidate is determined to match the description format for the sender area, the candidate is prohibited from being recognized as the addressee area.

摘要： A pattern recognition method is applied to processing of causing an information processing apparatus to recognize a pattern in a plurality of steps. The information processing apparatus detects recognition candidates which can be recognition candidates of each step. The information processing apparatus expands the recognition candidates of the next step belonging to each detected recognition candidate of each step. The information processing apparatus calculates the evaluation value of each expanded recognition candidate based on an a posteriori probability on condition of all recognition processing results for a recognition candidate which has undergone recognition processing. The information processing apparatus selects recognition candidates based on the calculated evaluation value of each recognition candidate. The information processing apparatus determines a recognition result based on the selected recognition candidates.

摘要： An international mail determination unit determines whether or not the postal matter of interest is foreign mail, on the basis of the collation results of the seal description information collation unit, address format collation unit, address word collation unit, delivery area code format collation unit, and country name identification word collation unit (or some of these units). When the international mail determination unit determines that the postal matter of interest is foreign mail, the country name determination unit determines a country as a destination of that postal matter on the basis of the collation results of the above five collation units (or some of these units).
