METHOD FOR PROCESSING LARGE-SIZE POSTAL OBJECTS IN A SORTING INSTALLATION

摘要

The invention concerns a method for processing large-size postal objects, so as to automatically read a postal address (AD) on each object, which consists in acquiring a digital image of each object at a certain level of resolution; detecting in said image one or several zones of interest (ZI) containing a priori a postal address; producing an automatic address recognition phase on each zone of interest to retrieve a postal address (AD) of said object; in the event that phase is unsuccessful, displaying each zone of interest (ZI) on a display screen so that a video-coding operator can read the postal address (AD) of said object. Each zone of interest (ZI) is displayed on a contextual display screen background (7) representing the object but at a lower level of resolution that said certain level of resolution of the digital image. Thus, the video-coding operator has a global view of the detected zones of interest, thereby reading the object postal address is facilitated.
