A method for checking an imprint reads an imprint, forms a data code from the imprint, and compares the data code with a predetermined number of check data codes of a stored data set. During a search for the data code in the data set, the method decides whether the data code is to be classified as acceptable or unacceptably faulty.

Method for checking an imprint and imprint checking device

In the present invention information is first defined as a complete description of the meaning of the content, in addition to the required layout of the characters, words, delivery addresses or images of the entire delivery surface, which contains the delivery addresses, as sample elements. The images of the sample elements belonging to the defined reference information are then generated with the aid of type libraries for the defined character fonts and languages and said images are then stored, after having been assigned to the reference information, in the form of a pixel representation for the sample. The images of the sample elements that have been generated in the previous step are subsequently varied by means of known image processing algorithms to create at least one statistical variation corresponding to the previously collected, grouped deliveries, according to the defined sample scope.

Method for generating learning and/or sample probes

The invention pertains to mail distribution information recognition technology, involving video-coding stations. According to the invention, the distribution information is fed into the screen of a video-coding unit by means of a speech input unit comprising a microphone ( ), a speech recognition module ( ) and, if need be, a key board ( ). The input data are compiled to a list covering all possible proposals concerning the recognition of the distribution information, said proposals being assessed according to the plausibility criterion. After removal of the little plausible proposals, the selected ones are displayed.
