TLDR
In this paper, a method for detecting insets in the structure of a document page so as to further complement the document layout and textual information provided in an optical character recognition system is presented.Abstract:
The present invention is a method for detecting insets in the structure of a document page so as to further complement the document layout and textual information provided in an optical character recognition system. A system employing the present method preferably includes a document layout analysis system wherein the inset detection methodology is used to extend the capability of an associated character recognition package to more accurately recreate the document being processed.read more

Segmentation of text, picture and lines of a document image
John F Cullen,Koichi Ejiri +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a method and apparatus for segmenting a document image into areas containing text and non-text is presented, which is comprised of the steps of: providing a bit-mapped representation of the document image, extracting run lengths for each scanline from the bit-map representation of document image; constructing rectangles from the run lengths; initially classifying each of the rectangles as either text or nontext; correcting for the skew in the Rectangles; merging associated text into one or more text blocks; and logically ordering the text blocks.
