A content-based information retrieval is well used in many applications (digital libraries, interactive video, medical, ...). The methods involved in content-based information retrieval algorithms need to handle, as quickly as possible, a big volume of data. We are involving in European STRETCH project (Storage and RETrieval by Content of imaged documents) that deals with the archiving and the retrieval by content of imaged (scanned) documents. A component extraction is an important step in the archiving process and it is a time consuming. In this paper we describe a system, based on a configurable processor and a configurable network, designed to accelerate the extraction of the homogeneous components (text, images, table, etc.) of scanned documents.
