Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2255894A1] A delivery classification device, and delivery classifying method for reducing mis-sorting when deliveries stored in identifiable postbag are sorted, a program for carrying out the method and a recording medium for recording the program are provided. The delivery classification device is provided with a registered characteristic data storage means for storing in advance a pair of first image data of one or more deliveries received in a specifiable receiver and address data of the deliveries, wherein the first image data are picked up by an image picking-up means, an image input means for inputting second image data of deliveries received in the receiver, wherein the second image data are picked up by an image picking-up means that is not always the same image picking-up means for the first image data, a retrieval image data storage means for storing the second image data inputted by an image input means, wherein the second image data correspond to all deliveries received in the receiver, and a checking means for retrieving the data stored at the registered characteristic data storage means with the second image data stored by the retrieval image data storage means as a retrieval key, looking for a degree of conformity between the first image data and the second image data, and extracting address data of the deliveries corresponding to the first image data with a high degree of conformity.
