The device further comprises a vision system suitable for forming a profile digital image of said stack of mailpieces in the magazine, and said unit is arranged to evaluate a certain inclination of the mailpieces in the stack on the basis of said profile image and to cause the floor and the paddle to move so as to present the mailpiece at the front of the stack in a satisfactory position on edge so that it can be unstacked by the unstacker head.

Claim (Index 4):
An unstacker device according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the monitoring and control unit is suitable for applying appropriate control to the paddle and to the floor so as to correct a critical position of the stack that corresponds to a significant configuration from scene images acquired under real operating conditions with a learning algorithm.
