Abstract
In this paper we propose a new approach to find symbols in graphical documents. The method is based on a representation of the document in chain points extracted from the skeleton. We merge successively these chain points into a dendrogram framework and according to a measure of density. From the dendrogram, we extract potential symbols which can be recognized after.
