System and method of determining building numbers

A system comprising:

• a memory operative to store a street level image;
• and
• one or more processors in communication with the memory, the one or more processors being configured to:
• identify a portion of the street level image such that the portion contains characters associated with building numbers;
• extract an alphanumeric value representing the characters within the portion;
• compare the alphanumeric value to a range of building numbers that are expected to be near the geographical location at which the street level image was captured;
• determine a score based on the comparison of the alphanumeric value to the building number of the street address;
• determine whether the score meets or exceeds a first predetermined threshold;
• and store an association between the alphanumeric value and the image when the score meets or exceeds the first predetermined threshold.

A non-transient computer-readable medium storing instructions executable by a processor to perform a method, comprising:

• selecting an image associated with a street address that includes a building number;
• identifying a portion of the image containing characters associated with building numbers;
• extracting an alphanumeric value from the characters within the portion of the image;
• comparing the alphanumeric value to the building number of the street address;
• determining a score based on the comparison of the alphanumeric value to the building number of the street address;
• determining whether the score meets or exceeds a first predetermined threshold;
• and
• storing an association between the alphanumeric value and the image when the score meets or exceeds the first predetermined threshold.
