Postal Address Detection fromWeb Documents

An approach to postal address detection from Web pages is proposed. The Web pages are first segmented into text blocks based on their visual similarity. The text content in each block undergoes the recognition process, which employs a syntactic approach. The grammars of almost all possible patterns of postal addresses are built for this purpose. The results of our preliminary experiments on 44 Web pages with 56 true addresses show that our approach can detect the postal addresses with a high precision (89.3%) and a low false alarms rate (3.8%)
