method for merging of ocr processes in mail by using the belief functions

摘要

A method for decoding the images of postal items (1) with a plurality of optical character recognition (ocr) processing mail (lap1, lap2, lap3) in parallel, comprises the following steps: - it generates (2) of the functions of belief (m1, m2, m3) on the results produced by the postal ocr; - are combined (3) the functions of belief (m1, m2, m3) to generate a function of the resultant belief (m); - (4) is transformed into the resultant belief (m) in a measurement of the probability for deciding the overall result of the postal address.
