9. A method for segmenting printed media pages into articles, comprising: outputting, using a block type identifier, from a media image a set of paragraphs that are tagged as headlines or body-text; combining, using a merger, the paragraphs into set of blocks; determining which blocks of content belong to one or more articles in the printed media image based on a classifier algorithm; determining, using the classifier algorithm, that blocks with a common assigned headline belong to the same article, and to determine that blocks without an assigned headline are orphan blocks, and where an orphan block is identified, to determine whether there are any candidate blocks that may be linked to the orphan block; and constructing, using the results of the classifier, an article that includes a headline block and a body-text block, wherein a block is a candidate block if the bottom of the candidate block is located below the top margin of a section-starter orphan block.
12. The method of claim 9 , further comprising: computing a plurality of features associated with an identified comprising: generating a block geometry based on an upper corner coordinate, a width, and a height, of a block bounding box; identifying a closest headline above the identified block, if present, and determine if a line exists between the identified block and the identified closest headline; and computing, for all neighboring blocks, whether there is a line separating the two blocks.
