A delivery management server, connected to a sender terminal and a carrier terminal over a network, includes a registration means for writing destination information of a delivery object received from the sender terminal and a first image in which a random pattern on a surface of the delivery object is captured, into a storage means in association with each other; a matching means for performing matching between a second image in which a random pattern on a surface of the delivery object is captured, received from the carrier terminal, and the first image stored in the storage means; and a presentation means for displaying the destination information associated with the first image stored in the storage means on a terminal screen of the carrier terminal, on the basis of a result of the matching.

An aspect is to provide a scanning device, a system, and a method in which an available communication band is not used up even if a plurality of scanning devices are connected to one unit of dedicated hardware. According to one embodiment, a scanning device includes: a camera configured to pick up an image; a reduction unit configured to reduce a data volume of an image corresponding to a merchandise to be outputted to an image recognition device from the image picked up by the camera; and an output unit configured to output the image with the reduced data volume to the image recognition device.

The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for strike through detection and, more particularly, to systems and methods for detecting a strike through in an address block of a mailpiece. The method is implemented in a computing device and includes: generating edges of lines within a text block identified through optical character recognition processes; locating text lines within the text block; characterizing the edges within the text lines and outside of the text lines; and grouping identified edges of the characterized edges outside of the text lines into co-linear groups.

Disclosed is a method in which trigger information is obtained. The trigger information is associated with at least part of attribute information associated with at least one first consignment unit. It is determined whether or not attribute information associated with at least one second consignment unit is stored in a database that is similar to the attribute information associated with the at least one first consignment unit. If the attribute information associated with at least one second consignment unit is determined to be stored in the database that is determined to be similar to the attribute information associated with the at least one first consignment unit, then alert information is generated.

According to an embodiment, an information processing apparatus includes an image interface, an input interface, a display interface, a manipulation interface, a storage unit, and a processor. The processor is configured to cause a display terminal through a display interface to display a screen so as to receive an input of a key through the manipulation interface; transmit an operation signal indicating the key to the one of external devices through the input interface; and when the key is a repeat key, transmit an operation signal for inputting a character string indicated by repeat information to the one of the external devices through the input interface.

According to an embodiment, the recognition apparatus includes an image interface, an input interface, and a processor. The image interface is configured to acquire a display screen image from an input device for inputting a character string included in a captured image in which recognition of the character string according to a first algorithm fails. The input interface is configured to input the character string to the input device. The processor is configured to acquire a result of character recognition processing performed on the display screen image according to a second algorithm different from the first algorithm, and input the character string based on the result of the character recognition processing to the input device through the input interface.

A method for authenticating a food package holding a food product can include receiving sample image data depicting the food package, identifying a sample print feature sub-set of the food package, identifying a sample geometric feature sub-set of the food package, generating a sample feature set based on the sample print feature sub-set and the sample geometric feature sub-set, receiving a reference feature set, wherein the reference feature set is generated based on a reference print feature sub-set and a reference geometric feature sub-set identified in reference image data, wherein the reference image data is captured in a food packaging system arranged to produce food packages, comparing the sample feature set and the reference feature set, and in case of match, providing an indication that the food package is authentic.

A camera (10) is provided for the detection of objects (48) moved through a detection zone that has an image sensor (18) for recording image data, a reception optics (16) having an adjustable diaphragm (17), and a control and evaluation unit (38) to read the image data and to set the diaphragm (17), In this respect, the control and evaluation unit (38) is furthermore configured to set the diaphragm (17) per object (48) such that the object (48) is recorded in a depth of field range.

The present invention relates to a method 300, an interface 40, and computer code for adapting a data structure of an input data set for processing in a computer system 14. The method comprises receiving, in a data processing device 20, the input data set including plurality of data posts, identifying identifiers in the input data set, each identifier being connected to at least one data post received in the input data set and indicating the sort of data represented by the connected data post, displaying a first subset of the data posts 46 from the input data set in a display view 42, wherein each data post 46 is displayed at a specified position within a display area related to the identifier of the data post 46, mapping, in the data processing device 20, the received data set identifiers relating to each of a second subset of the data posts to identifiers of data posts in a capture data set, displaying the second subset of the data posts in a dynamic rearrangement view 44, wherein each data post 50 of the second subset is displayed in a field 50 connected to the identifier related to the data post 50 displayed, receiving a first identifier connected to a data post 46 selected in the display view, receiving a second identifier connected to a data post 50 selected in the rearrangement view, remapping, in the data processing device 20, the data post connected to the first identifier to the data post in the capture data set connected to the second identifier, and sending the remapped capture data set to the computer system 14 for processing based on the connected identifiers.
