  • Patent number: 6708184
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for producing composite data by a server computer with a distributed communication controller interface involves deforming a template creating a mapping relationship between co-registered data and subject data, filtering the co-registered data, and mapping this filtered co-registered data according to the mapping data. A client computer with a distributed communication controller interface requests the composite data from the server computer and transmits the subject data to the server computer. The client presents the received composite data to an operator and monitors the operators use of the composite data.

  • Patent number: 5805710
    Abstract: A method of cursive address recognition of mail pieces using adaptive dictionary management is provided which includes creating a plurality of word databases containing the most frequently observed words in a particular portion of an address block derived from training data. Word images from various portions of the address block are extracted and the word images are compared to the database corresponding to the appropriate portion of the address block using a cursive word recognition engine. The search order of the word databases are updated based on the frequency of occurrence of recognized words in a predetermined number of previously evaluated addresses.
