Abstract
A block image labeling method is presented. It does not assume that the blocks to be treated are already segmented or that they contain homogeneous data. It is based on connected component analysis to label the blocks´ contents as small letter text, medium letter text, large letter text, graphics or photographs, giving the percentage of each of these components with respect to the surface area it occupies. It uses a recursive algorithm that allows one to improve on the result of segmentation. The performance of the method is given
