1. A system for identifying delivery points on distribution items, the system comprising:
a first image database configured to store a first plurality of sets of images of geographical area information of distribution items, each of the first plurality of sets of images including an image and OCR information of an entirety of the geographical area information;
a second image database configured to store a second plurality of sets of images of the geographical area information of the distribution items, each of the second plurality of sets of images including images and OCR information of individual geographical area components of the geographical area information, the second plurality of sets of images comprising at least a first subset of images and OCR information of largest geographical area components and a second subset of images and OCR information of intermediate geographical area components; and
a controller in data communication with the first image database, and the second image database, wherein the controller is configured to:
convert the first plurality of sets of images and OCR information of the first image database into the second plurality of sets of images and OCR information and store the second plurality of sets of images and OCR information in the second image database;
train, using the first subset of images and OCR information of the second image database, a first machine learning or deep learning model to recognize the largest geographical area components; and
train, using the second subset of images and OCR information of the second image database, a second machine learning or deep learning model to recognize the intermediate geographical area components.
