Layout segmentation algorithms found in published papers often rely on some predetermined parameters such as general font sizes, distances between text lines, presence of images and document scan resolutions. Variations of these parameters in real document images greatly affect the performance of these algorithms. In this paper we present a simple and novel approach for document page segmentation which are complex in nature (having more than one picture or header). In this paper we have dealt with the segmentation of a scanned document into images, headers, columns and finally into paragraphs. We first separate the image and fonts of greater size and then follow it up with column separation. Finally we divide it into smaller paragraphs.
