METHOD FOR SORTING POSTAL SHIPMENTS INCLUDING OPTIMIZED MANAGEMENT OF THE SPACE FOR EXPLORING SIGNATURES OF SHIPMENTS

摘要

In a sorting process in several mail sorting passes in a sort sorting sorting sorting machine, a technique is used to identify the image signature shipments (V-id) derived from the images of the shipments. . Shipments are transferred to bins between two sort passes. The search for a match between a current fingerprint in the second sorting pass and fingerprints generated in the first sorting pass is performed in an exploration memory space containing a limited number of fingerprints. The optimization of the size of this exploration space is obtained by associating with the signatures and trays destination information (ST) indicative of sorting outputs and temporal information (TS, Hb) provided by a clock.
