Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for reading dispatch addresses with postcodes which identify the addresses up to part of a larger street or a few small streets, in the case of non-unambiguous read results of the OCR unit. If the street read by an OCR unit does not correspond to the street(s) or street region derived from the video-coded postcode which the sender specified incorrectly, the following steps are carried out: - inputting of one or two extraction codes which identify the distribution point, - performance of additional reading processes in the OCR unit with that part of the postcode which identifies the streets/street part and is shortened by one position and with the AKS codes and, in the case of non-unambiguous read results: - performance of further reading processes in the OCR unit with that part of the postcode which identifies the streets/street part and is additionally shortened by a further position and with the AKS codes, the additional position-shortening and the reading processes being performed until the read result is unambiguous or only a few candidates remain, the correct one of which is selected by means of selection coding.

Abstract: More natural contour emphasizing processing is performed by detecting the direction of a contour with respect to a point where horizontal and vertical contours cross and a diagonal contour point. The times of an objective pixel and all the pixels adjacent to the objective pixel in the horizontal, vertical, diagonal directions are made to agree with one another, contour emphasis values weighted with respect to the brightness of the pixel that has the largest difference in brightness among the pixels adjacent in the directions and the brightness of the objective pixel are calculated and added to the objective pixel. In order to solve the problem in a diagonal contour point, if two weighted continuous contour emphasis values have the same signs, the before and after contour emphasis values are adopted, and otherwise, diagonal optimization that the before and after contour emphasis values are made zero is performed and they are added to the objective pixel. Thus, more natural contour emphasis is performed.

Inventor: MATSUMOTO KAZUKO
IPC: G01N33/58
Filed: 2000-07-26
Granted: 2007-04-03
Abstract: A practically usable DNA detection method by a DNA hybridization method with the use of fluorescent resonance energy transfer wherein the background luminescence (i.e., luminescence based on the luminescence of a donor and the direct excitation of an acceptor) affecting the sensitized luminescence of the acceptor is minimized so that a target DNA strand can be conveniently and very easily detected in a homogeneous solution. In this DNA detection method, a DNA is detected by the DNA hybridization method by using, as detection reagents, streptoavidin labeled with a fluorescent rare earth metal complex, a nucleic acid probe modified with biotin and a nucleic acid probe labeled with an organic cyanine pigment and taking advantage of fluorescent resonance energy transfer.
