Apparatus for building address database and method thereof

A method for building an address database with address images that includes an address, the method comprising:

• storing the address read from the address image and an accumulated value that represents the number of reads of the read address;
• determining whether the accumulated value of the read address is more than a predetermined threshold value;
• and
• storing the read address in an effective address database when the accumulated value of the read address is more than the predetermined threshold value,
• wherein the effective address database includes effective addresses that substantially exist.

An apparatus for building an address database with address images that includes an address, the apparatus comprising:

• an address reading unit for reading the address from the address image;
• a read result storing unit for storing the read address and an accumulated value that represents the number of reads of the read address;
• an effective address storing unit for storing an effective address database that includes a plurality of effective address that substantially exist in the world;
• an effective address candidate extracting unit for setting the read address as an effective address candidate according to whether the accumulated value of the read address loaded from the read result storing unit is more than a predetermined threshold value;
• and
• an effective address verifying unit for outputting the effective address candidate and the address image corresponding to it, being provided with information on whether the effective address candidate is the same as the address of the address image, the information being input by an address manager, and storing the effective address candidate in the effective address database based on the information.
