I wish to crop some images on a piece of paper, let say the paper is a word document, and on the document it have paragraphs with some text and an image of a pie chart to the right, another image, to the bottom let say a logo.

The teacher decided to take a picture of the document. The task is to perform an algorithm to intelligent crop out the pie chart and the logo. The parent document should produce several child images.

OK. Sounds like it could be a fun way to learn some image processing.
Shouldn't be too difficult. Threshold and bwareaopen to find small
letters versus big blobs (pie chart, logos), that sort of thing.
Good luck with it.
Post your image and code if you get stuck.
