IMPLICIT VIDEO CODING CONFIRMATION OF AUTOMATIC ADDRESS RECOGNITION

A method for sorting mail that may include performing an automatic address recognition process on a digitized image of a mail piece and generating a plurality of conditional address recognition results and a plurality of confirmation values each associated with one of the plurality of conditional address recognition results. The method can include sending the digitized image, the plurality of conditional address recognition results and the plurality of confirmation values to a video coding system, and selecting a video coding task corresponding to one or more of the plurality of confirmation values. The method can include comparing a video coding result with each of the plurality of confirmation values and, if one of the plurality of confirmation values matches the video coding result, then selecting a confirmed address recognition result from the plurality of conditional address recognition results, the confirmed address recognition result being associated with the confirmation value matching the video coding result.
