A method and apparatus for segmenting image data into windows and for classifying the windows as typical image types includes making two passes through the image data. The method includes a step of making a first pass through the image data to identify windows and to record the beginning points and image types of each of the windows, and a step of making a second pass through the image data to label each of the pixels as a particular image type. The invention also includes a macro-detection method and apparatus for separating a scanline of image data into edges and image runs and for classifying each of the edges and image runs as standard image types. In the macro-detection method, image runs and edges are classified based on micro-detection results and based on image types of adjacent image runs.
