Patent

CA 2400391

The invention relates to a method and a device for reading the postcodes of addresses on mail, said postcode (300) pinpointing the address to a part of a large road or several small roads. After an unsuccessful first read attempt (310), in which addresses could not be read clearly in the OCR unit (130), only the parts of the postcode (300) that roughly identify the addresses are first video-encoded (320) by operators employed for this purpose. The respective encoded result is then fed to the OCR unit (130) for a second read attempt (340), which takes into account the video-encoded result. If the read result of the OCR unit (130) is again unclear, the remaining parts of the postcodes (300) that identify the addresses in more detail are video-encoded (330) by operators employed for this purpose and in order to validate the result are respectively fed to the OCR unit (130) for a third read attempt (350), which takes into account the video-encoded result of the complete postcode (300).

L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif pour lire les codes postaux sur les adresse d'envois postaux, le code postal (300) désignant une adresse jusqu'au niveau d'une grande rue ou de plusieurs petites rues. Lorsque l'unité (130) de reconnaissance optique de caractères (ROC) ne peut pas déchiffrer clairement les adresses lors d'un premier essai de lecture (310), des opérateurs effectuent le vidéocodage (320) tout d'abord, seulement des parties du code postal (300) décrivant sommairement l'adresse. Le résultat du codage est alors envoyé à l'unité ROC (130) pour un deuxième essai de lecture (340) tenant compte du vidéocodage. Si le déchiffrement par l'unité ROC (130) est de nouveau mauvais, des opérateurs effectuent le vidéocodage (330) des parties restantes du code postal (300) décrivant l'adresse plus en détail, le résultat étant ensuite envoyé une troisième fois pour validation à l'unité ROC (130), qui effectue un troisième essai de lecture (350) en tenant compte du vidéocodage du code postal (300) complet.
