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).

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： A character recognition apparatus generates each character candidate from a character string written in a plurality of character entry boxes written on a sheet of paper such as a business form, and performs character recognition. A row image separating unit acquires an image containing a plurality of character entry boxes and the character string. A character extraction processing unit detects each point at which a plurality of lines are in contact with each other and intersect in the character string contained in the image, determines a point at which the character string should be cut or recombined on the basis of the placement relationship between the point and the corresponding character entry box, and generates each character candidate constituting the character string. A character recognition unit performs character recognition for each character candidate generated by the character extraction processing unit.

摘要： This invention is to compare each character of a first character string with each character of a second character string, vote for a matrix having two sides corresponding to the characters of the first character string and the characters of the second character string and calculate values of the voting result for respective components arranged in an oblique direction of the matrix. The matching result is determined based on the calculated values of the voting result. As a result, a high-speed and highly precise matching process which is noise-resistant and takes the character arrangement into consideration can be attained.

摘要： A bar code reader performs a double-printing detecting process to determine whether or not a plurality of bar codes are overprinted based on an image containing a bar code read by a scanner. The bar code reader determines that the recognition result of the bar code is ineffective information when it is detected by the overprinting detecting process that a plurality of bar codes are overprinted and outputs the recognition result of the bar code to a control portion when it is not detected by the overprinting detecting process that a plurality of bar codes are overprinted.
