    Abstract: Systems and methods for updating map data are disclosed. A system can include a mobile delivery device that is configured to be transported to a plurality of delivery locations by a parcel carrier. The system may further include a computer readable storage medium and one or more processors. The system may store map data associated with a geographic data. Using the mobile delivery device, the system can receive a plurality of positions during delivery of parcels to a plurality of delivery locations associated with the geographic region. Based on the plurality of positions, the system may determine a delivery route of a parcel carrier, and, based on the delivery route, the system can generate updated map data.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system and method for detecting an address block and barcode on a captured image of an item, and reading the detected barcode using connected component analysis. In one aspect, the method includes binarizing a captured image to generate a binarized image having pixel values, inverting the pixel values of the binarized image, processing the inverted pixel values, and filtering the processed image by area. The method may also include machine learning the processed image to cluster objects in the processed image into a plurality of groups using the filtered image, and determining a number of objects in each of the clustered groups by performing additional operations on the clustered objects to detect the address block. The method may also include selecting the group having the greatest number of objects as the address block, and extracting the selected address block.

    Abstract: A system and method of augmenting a delivery route. Exemplary methods include first location information from a first position device and receiving second location information from a second position device, storing first and second location information, and determining, based on at least one of the first and second information, a time and a location for each of a plurality of stops. Exemplary methods also include reconciling determined time and locations of each of the plurality of stops with a stored route, the stops having a stored location and a stored time associated therewith and estimating a plurality of transition times between pairs of the plurality of stops. Exemplary methods include constructing an updated timeline based on the plurality of stored stops, the plurality of determined stops, and the plurality of transition times and updating the delivery route based on the constructed timeline.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system and method for extracting a region of interest from a captured image of an item. The system may include a reader configured to capture an image of an item having a computer readable code positioned thereon. The system may also include a processor in data communication with the reader and configured to generate captured image data, the captured data comprising binary image data and identify a first pixel region representing the computer readable code from the binarized image data. The processor may be further configured to remove a second pixel region other than the first pixel region from the binarized image data and store or process only first binarized image data representing the first pixel region.

    Abstract: Generating authentication credentials includes receiving from a first user input identifying a customer identifier for an online account with a business or organization and a residential or business physical address, and sending via a network a notification to a first user system to follow instructions on a mail piece to be received by the first user. The mail piece is physically sent via a distribution network to the physical address and an online application is activated in response to scanning a coded indicia on the mail piece. Data indicative of an identity of the first user is received and the identity of the first user is verified based on at least information associated with the coded indicia and the received data. A recommendation is generated whether to approve the online account and an electronic credential is created for the first user based on acceptance of the online account.
