A system and method facilitating layout analysis is provided. The invention includes a layout analyzer having a connected component organizer, a connected joiner, a word organizer and a word joiner. The invention provides for the connected component organizer to organize connected components based upon color, horizontal position and/or vertical position. The invention provides for the connected component joiner to join connected components based, at least in part, upon color, vertical position, horizontal position, a distance between the connected components, height of the connected components and/or width of the connected components. The word organizer organizes words and the word joiner joins words into lines. The joining of words into lines can cause the connected component joining to attempt to further join connected components into words.
