Box clustering segmentation: A new method for vision-based web page preprocessing

作者：

Highlights：

• New, purely vision-based, segmentation technique is formally described.

• Only a few simple visual cues are used to assess similarity of the rectangles.

• Its performance better by an order of magnitude when compared with competition.

• Rectangle clustering is a viable way to perform web page segmentation.
