Abstract (en)

[origin: US2005278064A1] A method of processing postal articles in which a physical magnitude is measured in order to detect ( 2 ) whether the outside surface of a postal article is made of a plastics material, and in which a digital image of said outside surface of the postal article is processed in order to detect ( 3 ) whether said surface has a noisy background. On the basis of the results of these two detection operations, it is determined ( 4 ) whether the outside surface of said postal article is a printable surface or a non-printable surface.
