According to an embodiment, an inspection apparatus includes a communication interface and a processor. The communication interface acquires package information regarding a package being conveyed by a sorter that sorts the package and an operation signal generated based on an operation of an operator. The processor outputs reference information, based on past history in which inspection-result information indicating whether or not the package is a regulated-article candidate, generated based on the operation signal, and the package information are associated together, and the package information newly acquired.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, a probability to achieve a purpose is increased in a case where information is intermittently allocated to a plurality of elements. An information processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention is an information processing apparatus that allocates information to respective elements included in a first set and includes an allocator. The allocator uses a first subset and a second subset, and allocates the information to at least one element included in the first subset. The first subset is constituted by elements which are included in the first set and in which information allocation may be performed at a present time. The second subset is constituted by elements which are included in the first set and in which the information allocation is not performed at the present time.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and information processing system

According to one embodiment, a sorting system has a delivery processing apparatus, a video coding terminal, and a recognition support apparatus. The recognition support apparatus has an information management portion, a correct solution derivation portion, and a machine learning portion. The information management portion acquires an image obtained by imaging a delivery object and keying information. The correct solution derivation portion derives respective correct solutions for a plurality of processings for the image obtained by imaging the delivery object, based on the keying information acquired by the information management portion. The machine learning portion performs machine learning using the respective correct solutions for the plurality of processings derived by the correct solution derivation portion, to adjust the plurality of processings.

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.

Character recognition apparatus and character recognition method

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.

Addressee recognizing apparatus

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.
