Abstract: The method of sorting pre-sorted mailpieces in a postal sorting machine comprises the steps consisting in: detecting loading in the feed inlet of the machine of a batch of mailpieces pre-sorted by a mailer of the mailpieces on the basis of their delivery addresses; and, in response to said detection, loading, in the reference database of the address recognition system, a lexicon comprising the delivery addresses for only the pre-sorted mailpieces of the batch, and, by means of the monitoring and control unit and for each current mailpiece, comparing the result of the OCR reading with said delivery addresses of the lexicon so as to recognize the delivery address of said current mailpiece.

Abstract: A method of sorting postal articles into a postal sorting frame comprising sorting slots, in which method said articles to be sorted are placed in a stack, and the articles are taken one-by-one from the top of the stack so as to place each of them in a sorting slot, and digital images of the top of the stack are formed automatically at a certain rate, is characterized by the following steps: a) recording said digital images in the memory of a data-processing unit; b) mutually comparing said digital images on the basis of a certain graphical resemblance criterion, so as to form image models, each of which is representative of similar-looking digital images; c) associating each image model with a persistence time; and d) applying a time filter to said image models so as to eliminate those models whose persistence time is less than a certain threshold value, the remaining number of models serving to count the sorted postal articles automatically.
