N2 - Mail sorting machines play an important role in postal automation. In this paper, we give a brief overview of mail sorting machines in China Post from a pattern recognition point of view. OCR techniques such as postcode recognition and address recognition are essential for mail sorting machines, which are considered as class imbalance problems in our study. In addition to OCR that mainly focuses on the characters in the image, some image-level features are exploited for near-duplicate envelope image matching, which is helpful in tracking pieces of mail in the network environment.
