This paper addresses the problem of layout analysis of handwritten letters using textural and spatial information with a bidimensional Markovian approach. In this framework, the layout extraction is viewed as a labeling problem which aims to find the optimal configuration of the Markov random field performed by the 2D dynamic programming method by E. Geoffrois (2003). Preliminary experiments have been led on a small part of the RIMES database by E.Augustine el al. (2006) for which an error rate of 15% has been achieved.
