ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a method and apparatus for analyzing image data, and more particularly for analyzing image data representing images containing text to partition the image into running and non-running text regions therein. The present invention utilizes characteristics of running text regions to identify such regions and to subsequently group all non-running text regions into related groups.
