Abstract: During migration of data from at least one data source to a target system, data quality is determined by obtaining metadata associated with the target system, automatically generating instantiated rules for assessing a quality of data to be loaded from the at least one data source into the target system, where the instantiated rules are dependent upon the obtained metadata associated with the target system, and applying a quality analysis based upon the instantiated rules to the data to be loaded into the target system. The quality analysis provides an indication of a level of compliance of the data with requirements of the target system.

Abstract: A method and a device for the identification of plastic strips and/or window areas on mail is presented. The problem of dust build-up on the arrangement, causing it to fail, is avoided because the components can be arranged at a sufficient distance from the surface of the mail.

Abstract: An image recording system is described for automatic address location on large letters and parcels, comprising a high resolution grey scale camera and a low resolution color camera. Both cameras are directed at one illumination slit past which the object to be processed is fed. The color camera is operated in a special mode which allows it to manage with only a single illumination slit, where adequate light intensity is provided for both cameras. A method for automatic address recognition on large letters and parcels is also provided, together with a method of segmenting color images in the recognition of address blocks.
