The aim of document layout analysis is to extract the geometric structure for the document image. The introduced system is designed to work with a variety of documents, without prior knowledge about the nature of the document. This algorithm mainly depends on dividing the document into strips or runs, these runs ease the document handling and enable the ability of handling a part of the document and then handling the other part. This is too important when handling memory, and when downloading documents from networks. It can be classified as a hybrid technique of top-down, and bottom-up, to overcome the disadvantages in each strategy. Agent technology is used to ease the operation of the system through the network. Experimental results reveal the proposed approach is effective.
