ABSTRACT:
A device for identifying at least one article within an image of a document, the document including plural articles, with each article including one or more objects. The device performs a first step in which the image is analyzed as to its layout to distinguish text blocks, titles, photographs and graphic elements. In a second step, the device assembles objects into groups by successive application of rules concerning their type and their mutual positioning. The image is displayed on a screen and an operator can select an article, can have the objects automatically re-arranged by the device in a form specified by him, and can have the article printed separately from the other articles in the document.
