Summary:A method for increasing the accuracy of image data classification in a page analysis system for analyzing image data of a document page. The method includes inputting image data of a document page as pixel data, analyzing the pixel data in order to locate all connected pixels, rectangularizing connected pixel data into blocks, analyzing each of the blocks of pixel data in order to determine the type of image data contained in the block, outputting an attribute corresponding to the type of image data determined in the analyzing step, and performing optical character recognition to attempt to recognize a character of the block of image data in the case that the analyzing step cannot determine the type of image data contained in the block.
